“One FEMA guy told him that the flooding is turning into their scenario of what a nuclear blast is.”

“The discovery of nuclear reactions need not bring about the destruction of mankind any more than the discovery of matches”
Albert Einstein
“Iran is one of the countries that is -- in our view -- assessed as developing a nuclear capability, and that's unfortunate,”
Donald Rumsfeld
“The real solution to this crisis is a true and meaningful Nuclear Free Zone in the Middle East, not one which is paid lip service to. It is a vital first step towards removing all nuclear proliferation risks in the region, as well as providing the essential security guarantees from nuclear weapons states outside the region. If we don't seriously contemplate this option then the world will, as UN Secretary General Kofi Annan pointed out a few days ago, lurch from nuclear crisis to nuclear crisis.”

“[No one has a precise answer. The International Atomic Energy Agency dismantled 40 nuclear-research facilities before the U.N. inspectors left Iraq, including three uranium-enrichment sites. Prior to the inspections, Saddam's stealthiness had been so effective that none of the 40 were known to the outside world. Clearly, Iraq was on its way to becoming a nuclear power. Without ground inspections, those who track Iraq's nuclear development have had to rely on interviews with recent defectors and surveys of suppliers Baghdad has contacted seeking parts. Both suggest that Iraq's nuclear program is back in full swing.] Iraq's known nuclear scientists are gravitating to the country's five nuclear research sites, ... That doesn't appear to be coincidental.”
Charles Duelfer
“They've been turning off dams, tearing them out, shutting down nuclear reactors, preventing new utilities from being sited, ... We as their neighbors should not have to pick up their tab. It's just really a question of fairness.”
Gordon Smith
“This year was definitely a turning point for the nuclear talks, but things do not appear easy for the members to progress to the next step.”
