"The president announced the start of the phase of installing 6,000 new centrifuges in Natanz," state television reported.

Centrifuges are machines that can enrich uranium to a low level to produce nuclear fuel or a high level for use in a weapon. Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful and solely focused on the production of energy.

Ahmadinejad made Tuesday's announcement as he toured the Natanz facility in central Iran. State television also quoted Ahmadinejad as saying that "other activities have been carried out" in Natanz that he would announce later Tuesday.

Most of them are probably running empty and will remain sofor at least a fewmonths. The processing capability is still worrisome. The clock is ticking.

I thinl alot of what comes out of Iran is saber rattling.

[Aught Six]

If we can't make out the details for certain, what are we to do, sit and think happy thoughts?

We can pick up EM waves of these centrifuges from satellites. We know they're running. We just don't know what's in them.

Then send a B-2 in and take the thing out.
