U.S. dismisses Iranian uranium enrichment claims

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Washington on Thursday dismissed Iranian claims of a leap forward in uranium enrichment and expressed concern that Iran appeared to have "unplugged" Google and other Internet service providers.

The White House did not comment directly on Iranian opposition reports of clashes with security forces on the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

"We continue to monitor events as they happen and try to get the best available information, understanding that a lot of media, Google and other Internet services, have been basically unplugged," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a rally marking the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Tehran that Iran was able to enrich uranium to more than 80 percent purity, but again denied Iran was seeking to build an atomic bomb.

He also said Iran had produced its first batch of higher-enriched uranium fuel, two days after Iran announced the start of the project to increase the enrichment to 20 percent from 3.5 percent.

White House spokesman Gibbs rejected Ahmadinejad's assertions, saying Iran had "made a series of statements that are ... based on politics not on physics."

Hi,

It looks like BO Plenty has no clue what to do.  They are going to force Israel to start a war they know they cannot finish.  With each passing day it becomes harder to ignore the fact we have a muslim president who does as he supposedly said in the past, "If push comes to shove I side with the muslims".  If he were on there side, then he would want them to have nuclear weapons and then use them.

Now isn't that a comforting though to start the weekend.

regards,
