Excerpt near bottom of article concerning 500 tons of Uranium U.S. found in Iraq:

"Of the uranium, 500 tons is naturally occurring ore or yellowcake, a slightly processed concentrate that cannot be directly used in a bomb. Some 1.8 tons is classified as low-enriched uranium, a more potent form but still not sufficient for a weapon.

Thomas B. Cochran, director of the nuclear program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said the low-enriched version could be useful to a nation with nuclear ambitions.

"A country like Iran," Cochran said, "could convert that into weapons-grade material with a lot fewer centrifuges than would be required with natural uranium."

>>.President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Saturday that Iran has boosted the number of uranium-enriching centrifuges to up to 6,000

Well, that’s OK then... since, you may recall, Iran won’t have the capacity to produce bomb-grade material until they reach a level of 3,000 operational centrifuges...

Er,... uh,...

oooooopppppsssssss!

KaaaaaaaaaaaaaBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!

(ah, well...)

No problem.....we can just talk to them, and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk.

Imagine a scratchy cheap non FM speaker in a building with the voice of Ruth Buzzy saying the following:

Paging all IAF pilots, will you please come to the changing room and put on flight suits and go sit in your planes, Thank You....

It’s pretty obvious that Iran is not going to stop, as they are flushed in oil money (unlike N. Korea). There is only one solution to this problem, but the US and world will not do it.

Iran wants a war.....their leaders have been pushing for it for years. They are a war like nation and we and the rest of the world sit back and watch. The best thing that could happen is to have them drop a big one on Europe. That would wake those people up. I’d hate to see it but it would work. If our country takes on Iran, we need to do it from the air. No boots on the ground and don’t rebuild their country. Warn their people of this and let them do what they will.

Simple solution. Drop one ‘bomb’ for every centrifuge.
