“The Iranians are doing the same regarding their nuclear weapons programs, build the most important ingredient for the weapons which is enriched uranium and claim it is for civilian use. Fortunately our President did not fall for these lies.”
I don’t like Iran as much as the next freeper and want the Mullahs gone, and would support can attack if it had a realistic goal.
However, the centrifuges they have don’t produce weapons grade material. I think that stuff is hidden deep underground.
“That Adm Mullen is off to Israel speaks volumes as to the seriousness of the administration’s damage control on the current NIE.”
He’s gonna say, didn’t you dopes learn your lesson at Annapolis recently? I don’t see th point of inviting the Admiral. Israel is acting like the dog who, even though his master kicks him around, still licks his hand.
Adm Mullen won’t visit with the civilian government officials and it’s doubtful he’ll discuss local politics with those he meets.
“Adm Mullen won’t visit with the civilian government officials and it’s doubtful he’ll discuss local politics with those he meets.”
1) All politics is local, even when it’s international
2) Annapolis was a disaster. The end result was inevitable and obvious. We did it anyway.
An interesting article and some excellent commentary on this thread make it a worthwhile read when you have a bit of spare time.
Just looking thru some past notes...have we figured this out yet?
thanks Ernest.

F. We assess with moderate confidence that Iran probably would use covert facilities—rather than its declared nuclear sites—for the production of highly enriched uranium for a weapon. A growing amount of intelligence indicates Iran was engaged in covert uranium conversion and uranium enrichment activity, but we judge that these efforts probably were halted in response to the fall 2003 halt, and that these efforts probably had not been restarted through at least mid-2007...
well, that's all right then, there's really nothing to worry about, for a moment there I thought this Iranian nuclear situation was SERIOUS! (SARC)
YAWN, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ GO BACK TO SLEEP!
