Nuclear weapons

So the US and Isreal have made A LOT of noise about Iran aquiring any nuclear technology. Yet time and again ALL inspectors, form the UN to the US's own investigations have confirmed that Iran does not have weapons grade plutonium or uranium. Also, Iran is not close to getting it, and cannot in fact produce anything remotely close to weapons grade material for several years.

There is no threat from Iran.

However, closer to home (for the US) is Egyp, a country who is firmly pro america, anti freedoms and fairly close to an islamist state.

So what a urprise when highly enriched uranium (HEU) -- at or near weapons grade level has been traced there.

"The IAEA says that it is the first time such traces have been found since Egypt failed to notify the agency of its nuclear activities in 2004 and that it was continuing its investigation into the matter."

Update: and then i found this little snippet at MOA:
Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul-Gheit conveyed the concerns this week when U.S. envoy Dennis Ross, who is dealing with Iran, visited Cairo.

"Iran's behavior in the region is negative in many aspects and does not help in advancing security, stability and peace," he told Ross.
