Iran has more than tripled its ability to produce enriched uranium in the last three months, adding some 1,000 centrifuges which are used to separate radioactive particles from the raw material.
The development means Iran could have enough material for a nuclear bomb by 2009, sources familiar with the dramatic upgrade tell ABC News.
The sources say the unexpected expansion is taking place at Iran's nuclear enrichment plant outside the city of Natanz, in a hardened facility 70 feet underground.
I have learned the identities of ABC News' sources. Like Karl Rove and Scooter Libby, I think outing is a fun idea. The sources on the centrifuges is some guy named Curveball. I have never heard of him before. Is he a baseball fan?
The source on the enriched uranium is somebody ABC calls "blossom of turd". The information on the Iran enrichment plant in Natanz comes from a high ranking government official who wears a pace maker, shoots lawyers, and is considered by some to be "a Dick", if you know what I mean. This detail about Natanz was confirmed by a source with the code name of Bahkmed Kalabi. ABC has this story down cold.
I am sorry ABC. This shit is not going to fly again. Give it a rest, that dog won't hunt. Do you think we are stupid? Oh no, not this shit again.
There is a ticking clock too. It ends in 2009. Oh dear. That means coincidentally that the next president won't have a chance to stop it. Only one brave leader will have to target this plant with nuclear tipped buster bunker bombs. Why did his favorite philosopher Jesus give him this cross to bear? George Bush needs to blow more shit up.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaking on the eve of a UN
Security Council deadline to halt unranium enrichment, called on Western nations Tuesday to stop their own enrichment programs if they wanted his country to stop its own and return to negotiations.
Ahmadinejad told a crowd of thousands in northern Iran that it was no problem for his country to stop, as long as Western nations did the same.
One of the worst kept secrets in the world is that there is a great deal of hypocrisy when it comes to weapons of mass destruction. North Korea just cut a nice deal with us because they already proved they could build nuclear weapons. Iraq, which hasn't gotten that far yet, got bombed and invaded. Notice the difference?
Vladimir Putin's point is apt. President Bush's bellicose behavior only encourages rogue states to hurry faster to get their program going. North Korea, Pakistan, India, or Israel for that matter are in no danger of being seriously invaded by anybody because they are already nuclear powers.
We have tons of nuclear weapons, we have biological weapons, and President Bush wants to resume testing of next generation of nuclear weapons at the same time we are demanding that third world nations better not dare to develop these things because they are "bad".
Assume Iran is a rational or even rational actor. What is their incentive to stop? So, we won't invade? Bush invaded Iraq on dummied up intelligence even when they stopped their program, so that isn't a great motivator. The only legitimate way that Iran can feel safe from us bombing them to kingdom come is a slew of nukes aimed at Tel Aviv. Period. It sucks for the Israelis who in this respect are pawns for the US foreign policy. But, that is reality.
Until we give genuine incentives for Iran to stop, they realistically won't because it isn't in their self interest to wait until GWB decides that the four horsemen of the apocolypse were messengers of Jesus telling him that we got to smoke out those persians before the President's personal philosopher can get funding for a sequel.
