What if the first Iranian nuke went off prematurely…?

I mean, accidents happen.

It would be a tragedy.

Surely.

The French have it right, the 2007 NIE got it wrong and the only thing worse than the hand wringers at the UN/IAEA are the hand wringers at Foggy Bottom.

Mohammed ElBaradei ? It is just a guess but if he is of the Muslim persuasion and is a practitioner, well……he would have no choice but to go to bat in favor of Muslims over the filthy unbelievers. You would have to be an empty headed dumbfu*k westerner not to know that.

The US should call for a complete audit and investigation of the IAEA — but since we’re currently represented by Dr. Susan Rice, I’d be surprised if we even supported our allies France and Israel in getting the answer to this specific question.

The IAEA admits that it cannot verify for certainty what Iran is doing with it’s nuclear program:

A Dead Watchdog

Iran: The United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency is supposed to inspect nuclear facilities and warn of nonpeaceful activities. It now admits it can no longer effectively do so in Iran.
The world’s self-styled atomic watchdog — already little more than a Chihuahua — last week pretty much announced its own demise.

The IAEA’s report on Iran last week noted that its Islamofascist regime “has continued to refuse to permit the Agency to carry out design information verification” at its IR-40 reactor under construction at Arak, about 160 miles southwest of Tehran.

As the report admits, “Iran’s refusal to grant the Agency access to IR-40 could adversely impact the Agency’s ability to carry out effective safeguards at that facility, and has made it difficult for the Agency to report further on the construction of the reactor, as requested by the Security Council.”

The UN and it’s separate entities like the IAEA are nothing but a major corruption hub of bribery and kick backs that stop no genocide or spread of terrorism across the world.The UN pretty much hustles money out of the richer nations and sends it’s people out to rape and pillage in the guise of ” relief workers”.

Why any Nation with credible leadership sends these crooks a dime or listens to what they have to say is a mystery to me.

They may not have the ballistic capability, but there is nothing stopping them from loading that into a ship and parking it in NYC harbor or LA harbor. It might not destroy the cities, but it would do tons of damage, not to mention cripple a major US port.

Or even scarier, taking it through our porous border from Mexico and popping it off inside the metro area of a Midwestern city…

Or putting it on a passenger jet, which is what I think the preferred mode of delivery is going to be. Who’s going to start shooting commercial airlines full of civilians out of the air? There are more than enough arab/muslim airlines that could be used.

What kind of delivery system does Iran have? How far can they launch a missile? I am sure they could hit Israel, but could they hit the mainland U.S.? Was there evidence of WMD in Iraq?

Stories like this should make headlines. But it won’t because the left has to hold up the U.N. as always morally superior to the U.S.

CAVEAT:
And yet I can also picture the editors of the major newspapers wrestling as to whether to give this exposure, because it could provide a much needed scapegoat that Obama might desperately need down the road if Iran does some serious ungoodness.

Perhaps the passiveness of this administration can be attributed to his real agenda of using WW3 to rescue our economy and revive our manufacturing base.

Oh wait, only Bush would do something like that…

HI TXMOMOF3 @ 11:47 AM. You had some questions on Iraqi WMD’s and on Iranian delivery systems.
***
On the Saddam era WMD’s–chemical weapons existed and were used on their own people. Some indications of biological weapons mobile factory vans were found. Very little on his nuclear bomb programs were found–nukes are “orders of magnitude” more dangerous.
***
However, his highest rank Air Force general told about two airliners that had all seats removed and moved many secret dangerous cargoes to Syria after the sun went down–to avoid satellite surveillance. This happened in the months when Colin Powell tried to get more sanctions from the U.N. Later, Israel bombed a Syrian reactor site being build by the North Koreans. They had bombed an Iraqi reactor site in the 1980′s–Saddam was in the nuke business then.
***
As far as delivery systems–at present neither the North Koreans or Iranians have ICBM’s capable of reaching U.S. cities. However, a modern 20 Kiloton (Hiroshima / Nagasaki yield) nuke is a lot smaller than the old WW2 items. Some can be fired from a cannon with an 8 inch diameter barrel. ICBM’s can fit a dozen light weight bombs on the nose of the missile.
***
The most likely terrorist scenario for an A-bomb attack on the U.S. is having a few strong terrorists backpack them across the porous U.S. Canadian or Mexican borders. They will put them on upper floors of big skyscrapers to maximize the deaths and destruction–think NYC, Washington,D.C., Chicago, etc.
***
No “return addresses” for this type of attack. We never would have believed that the 9/11/2001 attacks could have been carried out by 19 muslims with boxcutters. We believed it pretty well on 9/12. The enemy has good generals who come up with simple plans that work–they DON’T NEED ANY STEEEENKING MISSILES.

Let me get this straight. The U.S. is using intel from a U.N. sanctioned organization, whose current leader is an Egyptian?

Jeff from WI on September 8, 2009 at 11:55 AM

No. Said organization is non-using intel from us.
