Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday that Iran has "no reverse gear" on its programme to develop nuclear technology.

But Ahmadinejad was quoted by Iran's student news agency ISNA as saying: "Iran has obtained the technology to produce nuclear fuel and Iran's move is like a train ... which has no brake and no reverse gear".
"We dismantled the rear gear and brakes of the train and threw them away sometime ago," Ahmadinejad was quoted as telling a gathering of Islamic clerics.
An Iranian deputy foreign minister echoed Ahmadinejad, saying the Islamic Republic, which is accused by the West of trying to build nuclear weapons, was ready for any possible scenario "even for war".
Manouchehr Mohammadi, one of the deputies to the foreign minister, was quoted by ISNA as saying at a conference in the central city of Isfahan:
"We have prepared ourselves for any situation, even for war."

Are The Democrats Just Totally Ignorant?

    Once again the Democrats are showing the Republicans and the rest of the nation that they still have a small dose of incompetence on the blood stream as they can't seem to agree on Murtha's plan to withhold funds from the Bush Crime Family unless the troops are trained correctly and have the right equipment to perform their duties.

   Murtha messed up this entire idea by going on a liberal website and discussing his plan which seems to have shocked the Democrats and it most certainly has giving the Republicans ammunition to use against the plan. Even a few Democrats have spoken out on the plan, saying that they do not like the idea of cutting off any funds for any reason and that cutting funds would hurt the troops. They sound more like Republicans than Democrats. Maybe we should insist they get a blood test for DNA analysis.

"If this is going to be legislation that's crafted in such a way that holds back resources from our troops, that is a non-starter, an absolute non-starter," declared Rep. Jim Matheson (Utah), a leader of the conservative Blue Dog Democrats.

Tom Andrews, a former House member and antiwar activist who helped Murtha with his Internet rollout, fumed: "The issue to me is, what is the state of the backbone of the Democratic Party? How will they respond to this counterattack? Republicans are throwing touchdown passes on this because the Democrats aren't even on the field."

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, a Florida Democrat and deputy whip, said party leaders are working on several Iraq proposals and that Murtha's may survive. Finding consensus will be difficult but not impossible, she said. "This is a multi-step process," she cautioned. "At least we're debating the topic, not blindly following the president."

   Yes Rep. Wasserman, you are blindly following the president, only in a different way. The GOP has led you and your friends around in a circle and have thus far beaten the Democrats at anything that is of major importance.  Wake the hell up!
