Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is offering to resume talks over his country's nuclear program as soon as possible, according to a letter he sent to the European Union.

CNN obtained a copy of the letter as Iran announced new steps in its nuclear program.

Iran flaunted a new generation of centrifuges and mastery of the nuclear fuel cycle Wednesday as Ahmadinejad, clad in a white lab coat, was on hand to load domestically made fuel rods into the core of a Tehran reactor.

Also announced was an intent to start production of yellowcake, a chemically treated form of uranium ore used for making enriched uranium.

Hopefully the EU isn't going to fall for this nonsense. Remember when yellowcake was one of the big reasons we suspected Iraq of having a WMD program?

Another move made by the Iranians one right after another. Ball is still in Israel and our Court.

Every day they get a little closer to their nuclear ambitions. It may even be too late if some of the Israeli intel is to be believed.

What I am trying to figure out is that the Israeli intel hasnt been wrong when it comes to Iran. So why won't people believe them now! Especially when they are saying they know Iran has 4 bombs already.
