No no no, they weren’t gonna use it for weapons! It’s for medical reasons, duh!

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants talks between Iranian and US experts to allay fears about his country’s nuclear program as international pressure mounts on Tehran.

In an interview with the Washington Post and Newsweek magazine Wednesday, Ahmadinejad also said Iran would offer to purchase enriched uranium for medical purposes from the United States at talks with world powers on October 1.

How could we have been so stupid?! Why would they want weapons when his speeches include such amazing humanitarian sentiment like this:

“It is disappointing that Mr Ahmadinejad has once again chosen to espouse hateful, offensive and anti-Semitic rhetoric,” Mark Kornblau, spokesman to the US mission to the United Nations, said in a statement.

Delegations from Argentina, Britain, Australia, Costa Rica, Denmark, France Germany, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand and the United States left the room as Ahmadinejad began to rail against Israel.

Maybe they plan to smoke it to relieve the pain caused by glaucoma.

No wait, I think I know what they’re really after…
