Japan’s Matsushita Electric is shuttering its Panasonic car stereo manufacturing plant in Georgia, cutting loose 500 people American workers. The plant closing is one of the largest business losses in the Peach state this year. Panasonic workers were notified of the decision on Thursday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The company will still operate its product development depart

Writes: James N. Kariuki Obama, nuclear weapons and the race factor — Given the history of nuclear weapons relative to the non-white world, and noting the ongoing ‘loose talk about nukes’ in the US regarding Iran, it is fitting that Barack Obama should aspire to eliminate all nuclear weapons, American and otherwise. Perhaps, he owes it [...]

- Scott Miller There is simply no excuse for the tiny portion (19%) of our country’s electricity production coming from nuclear power plants. No excuse… other than rank ignorance.

Al Arabiya - Iranian judiciary chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi told leaders of the Gulf Arab state of Qatar on Wednesday that his country was willing to put its controversial nuclear expertise at the service of all Muslim states. "Iran is determined to make the best use of this technology not only for Iran but also for all Muslim states," Shahroudi told a news conference in the Qatari capital Doha.His comments came after talks with Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, whose country hosts the headquarters of U.S. Central Command which runs military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and across the Middle East and the Horn of Africa.Washington has been pushing for a new set of U.N. sanctions against Tehran over its insistence on mastering the nuclear fuel cycle for its s

Here is the announcement:Friends of peace, When's the right time to stand for peace and the abolition of nuclear weapons?

~Snooper~Is this idiot a friend of Barack Obama? I wonder...Senior Pakistani Editor: We Should Not Hesitate In Using Nuclear Weapons To Take Kashmir From IndiaThe senior Pakistani editor Majeed Nizami has said that Kashmir is a jugular vein for Pakistan and it should not hesitate from using nuclear weapons in order to get it from India. Majeed Nizami is the Chief Editor of mainstream newspapers Roznama Nawa-i-Waqt and The Nation and Managing Director of 'Waqt' television channel.His Urdu newspaper Roznama Nawa-i-Waqt quoted him as saying: "It is better to die fighting than die due to famine. Kashmir is our biggest issue and showing flexibility on this matter is tantamount to treason. Whoever shows flexibility on the issue, I will consider him as a traitor." He noted that the founder of Pa

(originally published at MWC News) The unanimous conclusion of the 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, that Iran ceased pursuing a program of nuclear weapons in 2003, has dealt a severe blow to the Bush-Cheney agenda of forcible regime change in Iran. For several months, the rhetoric emerging from the White House escalated to the point that many observers predicted Bush would attack Iran before he leaves office. But although the new National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) makes it more difficult to carry out his agenda in Iran, Bush is trying to publicly undermine its conclusions. “I have said Iran is dangerous,” he declared, “and the NIE estimate doesn’t do anything to change my opinion about the danger Iran poses to the world - quite the contrary.” Will Bush provoke an incident with Iran and then respond in "self-defense”? Bush “rewarded” Iran for its help in consolidating U.S. power in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks by inaugurating Iran

So… Has Iran really stopped its Nuclear Weapons Program? Alan Dershowitz of The Huffington Post isn’t so certain about that. “The recent national intelligence estimate that concluded that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 is just about the stupidest intelligence assessment I have ever read. It falls hook, line and sinker for a transparent [...]

December 5, 2007With the release of the latest NIE report stating that Iran ceased its nuclear weapons program in 2003, Democrats have received new ammunition to use against the president in future dealings with the country of Iran. For several years now we have heard how Iran, in its rapid push to build centrifuges across the nation, is preparing to join the Nuclear Club, prompting fears that Iran might share their nuclear secrets with groups as Al Qaeda.Harry Reid, (D Nv) said, "I would be very surprised if, when this report came out yesterday and was made public, that the president didn't already know all about it."Hillary Clinton, (D NY) said, "I vehemently disagree with the president that nothing's change and, therefore, nothing in American policy has to change. I have, for two years, advocated diplomatic engagement with Iran, and I think that's what the president should do."Barack Obama (D Ill) chimed in, "They should have stopped the saber rattling, shouldn't have never st

U.S. security officials say Iran suspended their nuclear weapons program, despite previous reports to the contrary. As David Martin reports, Iran's diplomatic relations could improve.

A declassified version of the 2006 national intelligence estimate of Iran was released today and according to it Iran has no nuclear weapon program and could not achieve that capability (on its own) before 2010.From the NY Times:WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 — A new assessment by American intelligence agencies concludes that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that the program remains frozen, contradicting judgment two years ago that Tehran was working relentlessly toward building a nuclear bomb....The assessment, a National Intelligence Estimate that represents the consensus view of all 16 American spy agencies, states that Tehran is likely keeping its options open with respect to building a weapon, but that intelligence agencies “do not know whether it currently intends to develop nuclear weapons.”...The new report comes out just over five years after a deeply flawed N.I.E. concluded that Iraq possessed chemical and biological weapons programs and was determined to restart

The big news of the day has clearly been the US Intelligence report that’s come out detailing how Iran halted its nuclear weapons work in 2003. As reported by CNN: Iran halted work toward a nuclear weapon under international scrutiny in 2003 and is unlikely to be able to produce enough enriched uranium for a bomb until 2010 to 2015, a U.S. intelligence report says. A declassified summary of the latest National Intelligence Estimate found with “high confidence” that the Islamic republic stopped an effort to develop nuclear weapons in the fall of 2003. But, of course, the debate has heightened - some state that this is just more proof that action is needed, because Iran has (and could again) have the intention to build a nuclear program. On the other side, some state that this is a slam dunk - since Iran isn’t building nuclear weapons, and thus, there’s no need to get aggressive with that country’s leadership. So who’s right? If we look to the C

The Flopping Aces Blog had this story:This week there were two news stories that re-opened an incredibly dangerous question about Saddam Hussein and nuclear weapons. Before examining those stories, it's important to reflect on the historical facts regarding Saddam Hussein and claims from five years ago that he was a nuclear threat to stability in the region and the world."How quickly Iraq will obtain its first nuclear weapon depends on when it acquires sufficient weapons-grade fissile material.If Baghdad acquires sufficient fissile material from abroad it could make a nuclear weapon within several months to a year.Without such material from abroad, Iraq probably would not be able to make a weapon until 2007 to 2009, owing to inexperience in building and operating centrifuge facilities to produce highly enriched uranium and challenges in procuring the necessary equipment and expertise.Most agencies believe that Saddam's personal interest in and Iraq's aggressive attempts to obtain hi

Thanks to the Gathering Storm for alerting me to this! From the Tehran Times.Massacre of innocent nations is forbidden in Islam and therefore “production of nuclear bomb or even having it in mind is forbidden by Islamic sharia (law),” Tehran Friday prayers leader Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani said here on Friday. What is the reality related to that claim? Define innocent! Those of us who do not embrace Islam and fully submit to it are considered Kufr, rebels against Allah. As such we are najis: unclean. What did Allah say?9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. 8:67. It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until h

Ron Paul's Foreign Policy: In the Nutshell, In his Own WordsThe Four-Minute Ron Paul: Love Him or Hate Him If you have heard others arguing about Republican candidate, Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), you will likely hear two different extremes."Ron Paul is a the real deal American!""Ron Paul is a kook!" Paul, a Republican with strong libertarian leanings is most controversial on issues of U.S. foreign policy. Most especially his stand on the War in Iraq. Dr. Paul--he is a medical doctor--wants to end U.S. involvement immediately and return American troops home. This stand has earned him supporters from both Left and Right.It has also earned him condemnation, mostly from the center and right. There seems to be no middle ground.On other issues, he has a less controversial image. This video is a chance to hear the candidate in his own words, answering questions about U.S. foreign policy on a variety of topics. It's short (3:45) and sweet. It is Ron Paul's foreign policy views in the nuts

Pakistan's nukes in the hands of terrorists has India--and other countries--uneasy.Pakistanis aren't the only ones worried about the turmoil created by the state of emergency in the country. Amid rumors that the state of emergency may have been a move against President Musharaf, others are keeping a nervous eye on Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.India is closely watching events unfold--as well as al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations.What could turn into an opportunity for terrorists could prove to be a nightmare for India or the United States. In short, any country worried about nuclear weapons in the hands of a small group with scores to settle.More on this from the India Express:Nuclear-armed Pakistan is teetering on the verge of chaos after the imposition of emergency and US officials fear that the result could be every American's nightmare -- nuclear material or know-how, or even a nuclear bomb, falling into the hands of terrorists."If you were to look around the world for whe

This has been a pretty long hiatus for me which was because of my system being down, me going home etc... So this post is not about any specific issue but gives a glimpse of happenings around the same time. Most important of all...Arsenal are still at top on league table despite ManU closing in. But young guns are showing real class and they do not seem faltering in near future...Stupid India-Aus cricket series continues which I just cant understand why is taking place without giving any rest to players after T20 WC....and the results are quite obvious with India down 1-4. On political front major news was Congress mending ways with Left against the nuke deal giving up its 6 months long stand on the issue. As far as I am concerned this is one of the most backwards step taken by Indian Gov in recent years and will cause problems both nationally and internationally. On International front this will definetely lower India's position on globle platform and nations wll be vary of formulati

President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the leader of that bastion of humane treatment told a press conference recently:'"Wars, threats, insecurity, arms race and massacre of nations, spread of lies and rumors have drawn a gloomy prospects for the humanity."'He added "that nations want to live together in peace and friendship enjoying equality, but, the ruling system has always been responsible for escalating tension."Tired of "the ruling system" always being responsible for escalating tension, the leader would like Iran and other nations in the middle east region to be responsible for this.As supporting evidence, the President of Iran also recently told visitors to the "Great Quranic program in the summer of Lunar year 1441:""A nation who has been inspired by teachings of the holy Quran shines in all fields including reconstruction, science, justice-seeking, sports, technology as well as efforts to establish divine values.""The Iranian nation is among the nati

“Esfandiari has been accused of an additional crime: being married to a Jew. In the words of a website closely tied to President Ahmadinejad, Esfandiari is “married to Shaul Bakhash, a Jew, (and) is one of the leading figures in the international Zionist lobby planning the overthrow of the Iranian regime, including the Zionist regime’s plans to attack Iran.”’ – Michael Ledeen “Iran has a unique way of dealing with the West. The leadership there or Tehran Tehrrorists take hostages; in 1979 it was during the Iranian Revolution that 53 Americans were taken hostage. In the very recent past it was 15 British Navy and Royal Marines.” “Iran is doing what it does best; playing games that will gain it prestige in its part of the world. If it can convince enough people of its power at the way it tweaks the U.S.’ nose, continuing to flaunt and taunt as Iraq’s Saddam Hussein did; it will likely succeed in unifying the Islamic world under its leadership.

Iran has a unique way of dealing with the West. The leadership there or Tehran Tehrrorists take hostages; in 1979 it was during the Iranian Revolution that 53 Americans were taken hostage. In the very recent past it was 15 British Navy and Royal Marines. Now over the course of a few months the Iranians have taken further hostages: “Haleh Esfandiari of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars From the Statement of her Arrest from the Center for Scholars (very interesting and worth a read): “Haleh Esfandiari, director of the Middle East Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and a dual Iranian-American national, was arrested in Tehran on May 8 and incarcerated in the Evin Prison.” Kian Tajbakhsh, consultant for the Open Society Institute Statement from the Open Society Institute regarding the detention of Dr. Tajbakhsh in Iran on or about May 11th.

There’s nothing like a nuclear holocaust to destroy the world. Unlike climate change or viruses, a nuclear holocaust turns the entire environment against us. Radiation travels on wind currents and in the rain. Then there’s nuclear winter to deal with, which would suck for me since all I own are tank tops and sandals. Shut up, I live in the desert. So, what do we have to look forward to in the event of World War III? Mutants, radiation, freaky weather, the world getting knocked off of it’s axis, and Steve Guttenberg. Ugh. Talk about uplifting. The Day After: This 1983 made for TV movie has a lot in common with Jericho, which I stopped watching after a month on account of it was lame. The Day After took nuclear war to middle America and showed how civilians were effected before and after the bombs fell. It stars Steve Guttenberg, which is never a good sign, but he’s balanced out by John Lithgow. Predictably, The Day After was seen as a criticism of th

Does Al Qaeda have nuclear capability? If not, is it on the verge of acquiring it? What dangers do we face in this context? Is a jihadist WMD attack on U.S. territory an inevitability?

Some reports suspect that this call is a warning about a potential nuclear attack on the U.S.Front Page Magazine has published a discussion with David Dastych, Hamid Mir, Paul Williams and Harvey KLushner.

Found this on ABC News, courtesy of the Drudge Report:"— North Korea appears to have made preparations for another nuclear test, according to U.S. defense officials. "We think they've put everything in place to conduct a test without any notice or warning," a senior U.S. defense official told ABC News. The official cautions that the intelligence is inconclusive as to whether North Korea will actually go ahead with another test but said the preparations are similar to the steps taken by Pyongyang before it shocked the world by conducting its first nuclear test last Oct. 9. Two other senior defense officials confirmed that recent intelligence suggested that the North Koreans appear to be ready to test a nuclear weapon again, but the intelligence community divides over whether another test is likely."*sigh* How long must we deal with this. Noone is sure whether it is going to happen, there are mixed feelings across the intelligence people of the world. Obviously North Korea is
