Ten
And no, I'm not talking about Bo Derek:
Iran approved plans Sunday to build ten new uranium enrichment facilities, a dramatic expansion in defiance of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, days after it demanded Tehran stop construction on one plant and halt all enrichment activities.
Iran's defiance will likely heighten tensions with the West, which has signaled it is running out of patience with Iran's continuing enrichment and its balking at a U.N. deal aimed at ensuring Tehran cannot build a nuclear weapon in the near-term future. The U.S. and its allies have hinted at new U.N. sanctions if Iran does not respond.
The White House said the move "would be yet another serious violation of Iran's clear obligations under multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions and another example of Iran choosing to isolate itself."
"Time is running out for Iran to address the international community's growing concerns about its nuclear program," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said.
Time is doing so such bleeping thing, Gibbsy, and you know it. Nor are there any "tensions" between Iran and the West to "heighten" (from the Western side, at any rate). The "patience" of the West in general, and the Hussein administration in particular, is inexhaustible because that is what their blind, Ameriphobic, militantly pacifist ideology demands. This is as opposed to what motivated more or less the same fecklessness of the Bushkins that preceded them, which was an utter lack of courage and hard-headed realism (exhausted by the Iraq experience) to face the reality of what it will take (i.e. invasion and regime-change) to "disarm" the mullahs. The difference now is that Obama and the Dems are denuding us of the ability to carry out that lone solution as well.
And for ostriches of the Micheal Ledeen stripe who persist in the fanciful romanticism of a popular uprising actually overthrowing the mullahgarchy, False Messiah's endorsement of Adolph Ahmadinejad's stolen election last June and utter indifference to the brutal crackdown of the regime against the [AHEM] popular uprising that followed pretty much settles the question of the Iranian people solving our doomsday problem for us.
Tehran announcing the construction of ten additional nuclear fuel enrichment facilities isn't just rubbing The One's nose in his own diplofilic idiocy. It's almost like the mullahs are frustrated that Obama is so clueless that they can't even make him realize how horribly they're humiliating him. The irony being that they still can't match the degree to which he's embarrassing himself.
Looks like they'll have to go all the way to get their satisfaction:
'course, that's where they're headed anyway.
Bet it "loosens their fists," too.
