Exactly what does this mean?....."tripled its ability"? Have they opened 2 more plants where they are researching enrichment? Have they hired a bunch of Pakistani nuclear physicists? Is Russia moving more of their people in? Just exactly what does the phrase mean?

Sounds a little bellicose to me.....and who the heck are the 'sources'??? More pandering to the Bushies, I think. War-mongering brown-nosers, just itching for a fight. Probably have the graphics all ready to splash across the screens: WAR!!!!!

Bush should find a tank that he can fit in while wearing his flight suit and then attend a couple of photo-ops. That's all he's good for anyway.

Iran is going to make a major announcement about their nuclear program in the next few days, the word from neighbors with strong diplomatic ties is they have opened at least one more enrichment site. The escalation on their part is real, everything else is speculation except this won't follow the Iraq model, diplomacy is still the approach (along with sanctions) for quite some time.
