Chirac Cozies Up to Mullahs
To their credit, France and Germany have been standing united in demanding that Iran drop its nuclear fuel program, promising economic and political benefits if it does so.
Not anymore.
Terrorist-loving Jacque Chirac is pressing the EU to allow Iran to keep processing enough fissionable material to produce one nuclear weapon per year:
Other EU3 diplomats confirmed Chirac had urged his negotiators to consider Iran’s proposal it be allowed to have an enrichment plant with 3,000 centrifuges — which could produce enough highly enriched uranium for one bomb per year.
Iran claims that it needs be able to create weapons-grade uranium in order to meet its growing energy needs. Let’s take a second and examine that claim. From the CIA World Factbook:
- Iran produces 3.8 million barrels of oil per day.
- Iran consumes 1.3 million barrels of oil per day.
- Iran is sitting on 95 billion barrels of oil reserves.
- Iran is sitting on almost 25 trillion cubic meters of natural gas.
