Hey now, let’s let Joe Biden explain why this isn’t a big deal.

Not to worry, Joe the Genius told us in the debate that enriching the fissile material is the “easy part” of building a nuke. The hard part, according to Joe, is building the delivery device.

Nevermind that Iran already has the missiles, and plans for nuclear detonators are all over the internet.

My money is on the fact that they already have a bomb ready to go, and are just working on the fissile material. As soon as that’s ready, watch the mushroom clouds rising over the Middle East.

As a sovereign nation Iran has every right to pursue nuclear weaponry and energy.

They can certainly try. They deserve to be bombed deeper into the Stone Age for doing so, however, as they are lunatics who threaten the world enough as it is. Their being a sovereign nation means that the whole nation should be reduced to rubble to stop their efforts and cease them from ever trying again. That’s what their “sovereignty” means in this case.

Except, they have repeatedly said they have no design on a nuclear bomb. Jabberwock on November 27, 2012 at 3:37 PM

That may be so. Except, they have repeatedly said they have no design on a nuclear bomb. They may be “sovereign”, but they are not to be trusted.

I thought it was pretty well common knowledge that they’re working on a bomb. Who, exactly, is shocked by this news?

Wow, thank goodness for leaked graphs, huh? Otherwise this could have really taken us by surprise.

David Albright, whose Institute for Science and International Security is used by the U.S. government as a go-to source on Iran’s nuclear program, said the diagram looks genuine but seems to be designed more “to understand the process” than as part of a blueprint for an actual weapon in the making.

Yeah, they’re only researching nukes to make sure they know how to avoid ever constructing one by accident. Sort of the Principal Skinner “I was only in there to find out how to get away from there” excuse.
