The TimesUK reported intelligence sources said the likelihood of an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities rose significantly the last few weeks. (Post U.S. election)
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

I hope that is wrong as it wont help in the least. Khameini put a  fatwa on nuclear weapons a few months ago saying NO country has a right to have them. He is one of the two peopl with REAL power in Iran along with Rasfanjani. Niether are nutbags and both can be dealt with. This is an easy diplomatic fix as long as the issue isnt demogogued to the point it causes the kind of military attack Timmeh of the 101 keyboard comandoes recomends. That kind of thing will strengthen the hardliners and likely bring about the very thing they are trying to avoid.</description>

YOU are a liar and a fool ALL 16 of our intelligence agencies disagree with your moronic BS. So what do YOU know with your vast resources as a moron sitting in your basement posting on a website that ALL OF OUR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES what with their REAL intelligence billions of dollars and vast array of intellegence resources DONT KNOW. Why do you waste your time on this website. Call up the CIA and explain how much better YOU know whats going on than THEY do. Show them the error of your ways. Then sit down, increase your medication and pour yourself a nice steaming hot cup of STFU</description>

All I want to know is, will our new President have the balls to let the Israelis take out Iran’s program or not?

After all, he doesn’t have to actually show any courage… the Israelis have enough for both our countries. In fact, as a nation they have more than we do at times.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

You are such an ignorant and cowardly PUNK. A warmonger without a single functioning braincell. According to the nuclear non proliferation treaty Iran has every RIGHT to enrich uranium for fuel. Nothing here shows anything more than fuel grade enrichment you MORON. None of our intelligence agencies think Iran is enriching to fuel grade. This is an easy diplomatic fix. Stop whining from under your mommys bed and for once in your life get some dim idea what you are talking about fool</description>

Another one of your posts that is a big pile of STUPID and you not understanding, well, anything. Bush was fearmongering. A 5% enrichment only means FUEL GRADE. Bush was pushing the Iranian nuclear weapons program that ALL 16 of our intelligence agencies disagreed with. Nothing here is new or contradicts that. One of these days you MIGHT engage your brain instead of running off half cocked trying to attack the left when in your ignorance all you do is show how STUPID you are.</description>

		<description>The IAEA still subjects Iran to the usual NNPT inspection regime (the one Israel refuses to sign). The NNPT Additional Protocol, which Iran and various other countries refuse to sign, is in my view an unjustifiable, invasive ruse. All this is academic, though, since the hawks haven&#039;t had any success at all so far in coming up with any war gimmicks that do not immediately remind the public of what they said about Iraq.</description>

		<description>tim, we don&#039;t have to take their word for jack: we have intelligence programs which can confirm what we already know about iran... and they are pretty far away from possessing the capability (and materials) required to build nukes... they can however be picked up on the black market.

but pointing this out that doesn&#039;t mean you&#039;ve added anything to the conversation. in fact, based on your posting history, you&#039;ve yet to add anything meaningful to any discussion on the blog. now why don&#039;t you go get your foot stuck on a busy train track?</description>

		<description>To arrive at an opinion that Iran isn&#039;t persuing nuclear weapons requires the near total suspension of rational, thoughtful examination of all available information and intelligence on this issue.

In other words, if you believe that Iran isn&#039;t going to build a bomb, you are simply taking their word for it, nothing more.  And I think we can all agree that their &quot;word&quot; on anything isn&#039;t worth a plug nickel!

The question then becomes, can the civilized world allow a country like Iran to possess such a weapon?  I say, hell no!  Not under any circumstances.

Basically, it would be like allowing Hitler&#039;s Germany to have one.  So why should we treat the little Hitler in Iran any differently than we treated the German one?</description>

		<description>Israeli papers point to Bush/Olmert acting before our new President takes office.  They say:

1.  Israel won&#039;t tolearte nuclear Iran

2.  Obama won&#039;t do anything

3.  Therefore, Israel&#039;s BFF Bush needs to act or Israel needs to start it and have America do clean up

At least those are the themes for the last few months.</description>

		<description>This blog entry is possibly the BIGGEST example of liberal CHUTZPAH I&#039;ve seen in a while.

As recently as only months ago, the President was being excoriated for suggesting that there was ANY problems with what the Iranians were doing!!! All the Bush haters were chanting that he was a WAR MONGER for suggesting that Iran NOT BE ALLOWED to acquire the capability to make nuclear weapons!

If I remember correctly, the conventional wisdom spouted by the geniuses on the left was to &quot;...let the U.N. handle it&quot; or some such tripe.

What hypocrites!</description>

<p>As recently as only months ago, the President was being excoriated for suggesting that there was ANY problems with what the Iranians were doing!!! All the Bush haters were chanting that he was a WAR MONGER for suggesting that Iran NOT BE ALLOWED to acquire the capability to make nuclear weapons!</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, the conventional wisdom spouted by the geniuses on the left was to &#8220;&#8230;let the U.N. handle it&#8221; or some such tripe.</p>

		<description>The difference between 5% enrichment which is NOT weapons grade and 90% which is weapons grade is HUGE. This is not a threat this is enrichment to fuel grade.</description>

		<description>Iran is permitted to enrich uranium under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  Also, they are a sovereign nation.  How is Bush at fault for anything on this?  Sure, his so-called &quot;policy&quot; apparently failed, but shouldn&#039;t we be talking about the fact that this policy was unjust in the first place?  This just legitimizes the rhetoric that ignores Iran&#039;s soveriegn rights.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s part of the psy ops move to march public opinion towards support for a preemtive strike.  How this plays may determine who strikes, Israel or the U.S.</description>
