WMR’s Asian intelligence sources report another, morfe ominous, aspect to the decision of Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta to move 60 percent of U.S. naval forces to the Pacific region. Panetta announced in a speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue defense conference in Singapore that most of the Navy’s littoral combat ships, submarines, cruisers, and destroyers will be deployed in the Pacific. In addition, new U.S. Marine bases are being established in Australia. Panetta, according to our sources, has also been negotiating with leaders of Singapore, India, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Thailand the establishment of new U.S. military bases or the re-opening of former bases from the Cold War era. The latter include Subic Bay in the Philippines, U-Tapao airbase in Thailand, and Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam.

1/25/2012 Contrary to Widespread Claims, There Is NO EVIDENCE that Iran Is Building a Nuclear Weapon
Source: Washington's Blog
Date: 1/25/2012
Iran Is NOT Building a Nuclear Bomb
Earlier this month, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said:
Mohamed ElBaradei – who spent more than a decade as the director of the IAEA – said that he had not “seen a shred of evidence” that Iran was pursuing the bomb.
Six former ambassadors to Iran within the last decade say that there is no evidence that Iran is building nuclear weapons, and that Iran is complying with international law.
The International Atomic Energy Agency states:
What about Iran’s enriching uranium to 20%? The IAEA considers 20 percent enriched uranium to be low-enriched uranium and “a fully adequate isotopic barrier” to weaponization. In other words, 20% is well within the legal guidelines for developing a program of nuclear energy.

Iran Is NOT Building a Nuclear Bomb
Earlier this month, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said:
Are they [the Iranians] trying to develop a nuclear weapon? No. But we know that they’re trying to develop a nuclear capability. And that’s what concerns us.Director of National Intelligence James Clapper confirmed in a Senate hearing – following the release of the classified National Intelligence Estimate in 2011 – that he has a “high level of confidence” that Iran “has not made a decision as of this point to restart its nuclear weapons program.”
Mohamed ElBaradei – who spent more than a decade as the director of the IAEA – said that he had not “seen a shred of evidence” that Iran was pursuing the bomb.
Six former ambassadors to Iran within the last decade say that there is no evidence that Iran is building nuclear weapons, and that Iran is complying with international law.
The International Atomic Energy Agency states:
All nuclear material in the facility remains under the Agency’s containment and surveillance.In other words, all nuclear fuel is accounted for and is being controlled and monitored by the international agency tasked with nuclear non-proliferation.
What about Iran’s enriching uranium to 20%? The IAEA considers 20 percent enriched uranium to be low-enriched uranium and “a fully adequate isotopic barrier” to weaponization. In other words, 20% is well within the legal guidelines for developing a program of nuclear energy.

1/12/2012 Who killed Iranian nuclear scientist?

Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was assassinated Wednesday when two men on a motorcycle stuck a magnet bomb to his vehicle and rode off. According to reports, Roshan is the fifth Iranian nuclear scientist assassinated in the last two years. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has publicly denied American involvement and no one has come forward claiming responsibility for the murder. Jamal Abdi, policy director for the National Iranian American Council, helps us analyze who could be responsible and will this cause greater tension between Iran and the US.
[Editor's Note: This is an excellent news report which importantly points out that the Iranians do not yet have a nuclear weapons program, as stated by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta himself. Rather, what the Iranians are actually doing (based on factual evidence) is developing nuclear capability [to boil water] and that it is up to present or future Iranian leaders to decide whether or not to go forwards with a real nuclear weapons program.
There is speculation that the Mossad and MEK (formerly classified by the United States government as a terrorist group) may have been responsible for killing the director of the Iran's uranium enrichment program Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan. Or, as Liz Wahl's guest Jamal Abdi, policy director for the National Iranian American Council, speculates it could have been some other group or hardliners within the Iranian government itself who do not want Iran to be peacefully incorporated in to the international community. We do not know for sure who is responsible.
I hope that we the public are more vigilant this time and do not get suckered in to believing another lie similar to the WMD/yellowcake deception which was used as an excuse to invade Iraq with catastrophic consequences both in loss of life and economically.]

1/10/2012 Leon Panetta admits Iran is not developing a nuclear weapon
Source: Activist Post

by: Madison Ruppert

Astoundingly, United States Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta openly admitted on national television that Iran is not, in fact, developing nuclear weapons, yet still justified the Western assault on their nuclear program.
On the CBS show “Face the Nation” Panetta stated, in no uncertain terms, that Iran is not trying to develop a nuclear weapon, making one wonder why the United States and the United Nations feel justified in pressuring Iran.
