[...] Not surprising, all things considered. Still, I doubt the extra nine weeks means much to their operational capacity; more likely, for the most popular man in Iran and the Arab world, it’s all about prestige. Every middle finger he extends towards the west seems to earn him a few more approval points. The only surprise is that he didn’t attribute the delay to his needing more time to debunk the Holocaust. That’s how you really endear yourself to the locals. [...]

I’m no expert, but any Nukes N. Korea, Pakistan or Iran have are probably pretty darn big, like “Fat Man” and “Little Boy” were in WWII. So, they’d need a large jet or ship to deploy it. Does anyone know better?

Iran Sought Advice in Pakistan on Attack…

That is the stupidest idea that anyone ever had. Remember 1967? Egypt, Jordan, and Syria foolishly attacked Israel, and six days later Israel had gained control of the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. And they …..

Probably? That’s good enough, send in the B-2’s!

Do it now or future generations will ask “Why did we allow Iran to nuke Israel? Why didn’t we just blow the muslim bastids to their satanic paradise with OUR nukes? What were they thinkin’ back then?”

If Bush doesn’t do it by next year then I guess it’ll be Condi’s responsibility in ‘09.

Bomb-Grade Uranium Found In Iran…

U.N. inspectors found traces of highly enriched uranium on equipment in an Iranian military research center. The fact that this site is connected to the military surely strengthens the U.S.’s argument that it’s nuclear program is not purely civilian….

Use It or Lose It
If not already soon. Probably nothing hugely powerful, maybe enough to kill tens of thousands. They don’t have a failsafe delivery system for anything major, a suicide bomber is probably most likely. I don’t think all of the mullahs are suicidal enough to send anything to Tel Aviv or New York, not to mention the difficulty. Based on Arab political history my guess is they will use it on their neighbors first. Maybe to warn us & raise the price of oil by using it on the Saudis, Iraqis, or Afgans. For sure thats what they’ll do if we attack them in any way, spend their last twenty minutes shooting off whatever they have at whoever they can reach before US Air forces destroys it. They could even be lucky enough to hit one of our ships in the area. It’s a good thing we’ve got bases in Afganistan and Iraq, plenty of Bunker Busters in Israel, and W’s finger on the trigger. Twenty minutes is all they would get, and once that threshold’s crossed it’s over for Iran.

But of course, even if Iran has nukes, we must continue to pursue diplomatic means only to deal with this so we don’t upset the rest of the Arab countries, Russia, China, France, etc. You know, diplomacy – the art of postponing the inevitable until millions, instead of thousands, must die.

What we need is a better target list publicized, a list of targets inside Iran that is! That way we can send assurances to friends and relatives located in those target areas that we will love them always, even after they’re gone!

Now, however, a list of Iran’s targets within the USA is highly classified and not subject to scrutiny by infidels such as us! We can guess and practice bending over while gazing into a mirror located behind us. Same goes for Israelis too! Sorry, but that’s how it goes for us sappy infidels! My guess is that the odds of any one of us Yankees biting the nuclear dust is pretty small. However, the same cannot be said about the average Israeli except that exchange rate will be about 25- or more Iranians to one Israeli; small consolation if at all!

Makes me wonder if El Presidente Dictator for the Rest of his Life Ahmadinejad (PBUH) really understands or cares what’s at stake or about the risk he taking for his country! Iranians (PBUT) used to be a proud peoples but now there’s a question of what they except as sheep!

Unless the Iranians purchased a (some?) Nuclear bomb(s) from Russia, China, Pakistan or North Korea (which certainly is within the realm of possibility), I don’t think that they quite have a functional one of their own construction YET.

But it is a matter of just a few months if not mere weeks before they will be able to build their own….

Exactly, I too believe they have the bomb.
They planned all this crapola for months, then put on a show for weeks, just to antagonize. They would never boast so arrogantly without something more than a underwater missile to back it up. Something just hasn’t seemed right. I hope to hell I’m wrong, but this isnt looking good.

I’ve often suspected the Iranians already have a bomb. Why would they spew the sort of garbage that’s become their hallmark recently BEFORE they built a bomb?
