Hmm, kinda makes the whole “bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran” thing sound pretty good, eh? Iran Said to Have Nuclear Fuel for One Weapon
Iran has now produced roughly enough nuclear material to make, with added purification, a single atom bomb, according to nuclear experts analyzing the latest report from global atomic inspectors.
The figures detailing Iran’s progress were contained in a routine update on Wednesday from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which has been conducting inspections of the country’s main nuclear plant at Natanz. The report concluded that as of early this month, Iran had made 630 kilograms, or about 1,390 pounds, of low-enriched uranium.
Several experts said that was enough for a bomb, but they cautioned that the milestone was mostly symbolic, because Iran would have to take additional steps. Not only would it have to breach its international agreements and kick out the inspectors, but it would also have to further purify the fuel and put it into a warhead design — a technical advance that Western experts are unsure Iran has yet achieved.
Yeah, because they couldn’t buy the plans from other countries or arms brokers, couldn’t find basic plans on-line, or hire someone to do it for them.
I bet Barry is just itching for his one on one no preconditions talks now. Because 6 years of talks between the EU and Iran, along with tons of UN resolutions, have worked well!
My bet is Israel decides a redux of Operation Opera (will they call it Firefox this time?) is in order by January 9th. What’s your guess?
Obama is already showing himself to be a singularly gutless leader, between the uninspired Biden pick and the raids on the Clinton White House. Just as he wants the Clintons to govern for him, he may expect the Israelis to solve his problems. JPost: “We won’t let Iran go nuclear.â€
And, as typical, there is a meltdown in Liberal World, where this is all being blamed on Bush. Funny, wasn’t it the left who decided that tough diplomacy, up to and including military strikes, was bad? Can we blame Barry when Iran detonates a nuke during his presidency, or will it still be Bush’s fault? In reality, it would be….Iran’s fault.
Teach are you willing to put money on your bet ?
