Diplomats: Iran has means to test bomb in 6 months
.
VIENNA (AP) - Iran is blocking U.N. nuclear agency attempts to upgrade monitoring of its atomic program while advancing those activities to the stage that the country would have the means to test a weapon within six months, diplomats told The Associated Press Friday.
The diplomats emphasized that there were no indications of plans for such a nuclear test, saying it was highly unlikely Iran would risk heightened confrontation with the West—and chances of Israeli attack—by embarking on such a course.
But they said that even as Iran expands uranium enrichment, which can create fissile nuclear material, it is resisting International Atomic Energy Agency attempts to increase surveillance of its enrichment site meant to keep pace with the plant's increased size and complexity.
For Iran to amass enough fissile material to conduct an underground test similar to North Korea's 2006 nuclear explosion, it would likely have to kick out monitors of the IAEA—the U.N. nuclear agency—from its one known uranium enrichment site at Natanz. Technicians then could reconfigure the centrifuges now churning out nuclear-fuel grade enriched uranium to highly enriched, weapons-grade material.
Iran is unlikely, however, to want to do that. Such a move would immediately set off international alarm bells and could bridge rifts on how strongly to react—Russia and China, which have resisted Western calls to increase pressure on Iran over its nuclear defiance, would likely endorse more sweeping U.N sanctions and other penalties.
With the U.N. nuclear agency strictly limited in its nuclear monitoring of Iran, the existence of a hidden enrichment site that could supply the weapons-grade uranium needed for a nuclear weapons test is also possible.
International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed Elbaradei has repeatedly warned that his agency cannot guarantee that Iran is not hiding nuclear activities. Iranian nuclear expert David Albright on Friday put the chances that such a secret site exists at "50-50."

So it's a 50-50 shot whether these fanatical jerks blow us all to hell. I feel safe just knowing that Barrack Hussein Obama is my president. I'm sure he'll TALK them out of blowing us up. He da man.

Luckily it won't matter what the clueless liberals do. Israel will take care of Iran.
That's what we (US) pay Israel to do. At least that's what a moozlim and a liberal would tell you.
If we were to be attacked you wouldn't be able to insert a needle in the Obamabutt with a freaking pile driver. The punk would freak out.
I dunno - but I'm betting all kinds of bad shit could happen if the "Commander-in-chief" freaked out: Especially one that is already a Marxist-liberal maniac dumbass over-his-head-in-crap punk.
They'll be ready in 6 months? Well, this calls for serious action. First, we'll discuss the situation. Then we can form a govt. panel which will analyze that discussion and report their findings to a govt. sub-committee, which will then forward their report on the panels report to a congressional committee.
Of course, the congressional committe won't be able to hold hearings on the sub-committe's report because they're on their summer recess. After summer recess, congress will return and hold hearings on the sub-committe's report of the panels discussion. The results of those hearings will then be discussed in front of the full senate, as soon as they return from their Thanksgiving recess.
But don't worry. The NY Slimes will publish the story so you can keep up with what's going on. Of course, they will only publish the top secret information, so you'll just have to make do with that until congress returns from their Christmas recess. What is that huge mushroom cloud over NYC you ask? Oh, don't worry. The EPA is forming a panel to look into it.
Spidey - this calls for an...
Iran Czar!
QUOTABLE QUOTES
"With a liberal in the White House, it's sad to see the celebration of mediocrity and slovenliness and the cult of denial expand. That's heartbreaking to see this once-great nation abandon the drive of excellence and the new squawking mantra of whining and excuse-making, which is why we have the president we have, and for him and his administration to defy the Constitution and Fedzilla exploding into the private sector and controlling corporations, it's shocking.
I believe that we the people will eventually see the criminality of the Obama administration and eventually stop them one way or another, so I have eternal faith in my fellow man. I can't believe this experiment in self-government is over. I can't believe the documents our founding fathers clearly articulated and wrote are going to be abandoned for tyranny and slavery, and that's really what Obama represents. He represents that 'you people are so stupid and inept, I'll have to cover you.' I just don't believe that's true." --– Ted Nugent

Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran
