(IsraelNN.com) A top official in the Obama Administration has at last admitted what intelligence agents and Israeli government officials have been warning about for years: Iran intends to build a nuclear arsenal.

In media interviews with American television news networks scheduled to air Sunday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said bluntly, "The Iranians have the intention of having nuclear weapons."

[Eleutheria5]

Gee whiz, gosh golly. Woke up this morning and smelled coffee, and just then I realized: Iran is building a nuclear weapon. Now that I have proof, however, I also realized that there's nothing anyone can do, so I went back to sleep. Is this America's defense secretary?

[DHSMostWanted]

Try talking their way out of this one.

[RC2]

He’s only doing what his is told to do by the President. Remember, Iran is muslim.

[Eleutheria5]

“He’s only doing what his is told to do by the President. Remember, Iran is muslim.”

If I was told to make a public statement like that as defense secy, I’d resign in protest.

[ProudFossil]

President George W. Bush TOLD YOU SO!!!!

[American Constitutionalist]

With the supposed negotiation talks, all Obama is doing is buying time for Iran to get all their ducks in order to cause chaos and hell.

[My Favorite Headache]

Wouldn’t mind hearing what W. Bush has to say these days lol.

[reagan_fanatic]

It’s up to Israel now.

May the God of Abraham be with them.

[The Sons of Liberty]

What? We’re fresh out of B-52’s, B-1’s, and B-2’s? or is leadership and backbone that we lack?

[Cheetahcat]

Never too late, just got to up the Mega Tons of influence.

[RC2]

Hell is surely coming if Iran attacks anyone, especially Israel, with nukes. One of their targets is surely our troops. Watch for taliban pulling out of certain areas. If they do, our troops are in trouble.

US: Too Late to Stop Iran

Now that it is 100% fact that Iran is building nukes, and there are no excuses for not understanding that.....

.....it is (past) time to bomb the pi$$ out of the areas with weapons installations with bunker busters, daisy cutters, etc.

It's not too late to stop them, it's just that O doesn't want to do it.

Contrary to O's utopian bs, IRAN has no intentions of being "equal" on the world stage. They want to USE their first strike advantage, rendering the USA and the free world nothing more than second strike (if that) wannabees.

In fairness, I fault Bush for not taking care of this himself before Zero got the keys to the military.

[Eleutheria5]

“It’s up to Israel now.

May the God of Abraham be with them.”

Amen.

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

[sheaheysakman]

The President doesn’t have time to address nuclear weapons. He is very busy trying to get the Olympics awarded to Chicago.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

“In fairness, I fault Bush for not taking care of this himself before Zero got the keys to the military.”

I couldn’t agree with you more if I tried.

[netmilsmom]

Someone said the Saudis gave Israel the go ahead to use their airspace for a hit on Iran

[Eleutheria5]

Bush overextended himself with Iraq and Afghanistan, lost all political support for further expeditions, and also hoped that the Iranian students’ movement would depose A’jad in time. What should he have done, though? This reactor in Tehran wasn’t even known about at the time.

Of course, it’s never too late. Anybody who thinks there’s nothing that can be done about something like this is unfit for public office, and yes, I mean your boss, too, Gates.

[prophetic]

What? We’re fresh out of B-52’s, B-1’s, and B-2’s? or is leadership and backbone that we lack?

Its as I've always said ITS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE BUT YOUR WILLINGNESS & SKILL IN USING IT!!

Those fanatical homicidal terrorists had almost fought Israel to a standstill until Israel changed tactics & strategy by blocking their avenues into the population via erecting the wall, however having all the technology that the USA has is now rendered useless because of a weak leadership and the political correctness that led up to this point.

[FDNYRHEROES]

A top official in the Obama Administration has at last admitted...

It begs the age old question...What did Obama know and when did he know it?

[Eleutheria5]

Right the second time.

[Billthedrill]

"Negotiate until they present us a fait accompli" has been the EU policy since first they started their negotiations. Why pretend? The underlying assumption was "let's show the cowboy U.S. how soft power really works." And they have.

He was president of the University here. Not a bad guy, but has to do Ogabe’s bidding. He went to work for Bush but got transferred. Not a Rumsfeld, though

[JHBowden]

“The reality is there is no military option that does anything more than buy time”

This is true, which is why airstrikes need to be periodic.

We should also bomb their energy infrastructure— oil refineries, etc. while we’re at it and put their country in the dark. Only those who believe poetry about human rights don’t believe we have a *lot* of options.

[American Constitutionalist]

Now is a time to cry out to the GOD of Israel, we need to cry out to GOD and pray that GOD protects Israel and America.
We are fast approaching critical mass.
Now it is being measured by the days, hours, and minutes.

[east1234]

That would rally he population behind the government, leave the power on and blow the hell out of military bases with emphasis on the Revolutionary Guard.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Is Chicago too far away for Iran to hit?

[SteamShovel]

This reactor in Tehran wasn’t even known about at the time.

If Bush had bombed hard, the riots in Tehran could have happened sooner, and the regime could have been brought down.

The Tehran reactor would have been a moot point because it could have been discovered by the US and friendlies helping create a non-dictatorial government.

I'm not convinced this Rx wasn't known about until now. It could be just coming out this way because the word got out. Like slick willy saying "ehh, this is the first ahvv heard about this".

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a "Bush Basher". But I think W dropped the ball on this big time. We will pay a price for that with O.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Israel, at least, is busy building a shield (”Iron Dome”).

Bummer canned the best shield prospects for America so he could get a taste of Putin’s shoe polish.

McCain whatever his faults wouldn’t have done something this suicidal.

[samadams2000]

Bombs away Bibi, bombs away!

[American Constitutionalist]

“The reality is there is no military option that does anything more than buy time”

Yeah Sec of Defense Gates, with that kind of thinking, we would have never beat Nazi Germany and would have never had D-Day on June 6 1944.

[OpeEdMunkey]

Iran intends to build a nuclear arsenal.

No kidding you a$$clown. What was your first clue? These big people jobs are kind of hard huh.

And Obama intends to dismantle America's

[HiTech RedNeck]

Remember when Bush hugged the Bummer. Sickening.

[paul51]

"The reality is there is no military option that does anything more than buy time," he told CNN. "The estimates are three years or so."

Buy three years now and three years every 2 years from now if that is what it takes

[oldvike]

Exuse me? What did Bush do about Iran? Nothing.

[devistate one four]

Fooled again by the moongod people!

ha ha so much for zero.

[OpeEdMunkey]

however having all the technology that the USA has is now rendered useless because of a weak leadership and the political correctness that led up to this point.

Bingo! Give that man an Ahmadinejad voodoo doll.

Hugo. You're standing on my foot!

[Muzzle_em]

“And Obama intends to dismantle America’s”

How smoothly will that transition happen if our military is truly made of men and women who WILL defend the Consitution from enemies both foreign and domestic?

I consider O to be a “domestic enemy of the constitution” based upon the things he is currently doing to this country.

[Lucky9teen]

He is the worst terrorist attack this country has ever seen, to be sure.

[Russ]

"...pray that God protects Israel and America."

God tells us through His Word that He will protect Israel. That's a promise. No reference to protecting America, however...

[Soul Citizen]

Bingo!

“faulting Bush for not taking care if Iran”

Think people.....The blame Bush agenda y “O” would be around for years on the Intl. Agenda.

Israel will take care of it.....but what will Obama do Post Israel attack ? or During ?
Maybe Obama will talk to his Generals more.....either way.

[ProudFossil]

Exuse me? What did Bush do about Iran? Nothing.

I beg to differ. Did you ever hear about the "Axis of Evil". And the amount of derision and, scorn, cursing, etc., etc., etc., that was dumped on him for even thinking such a thing by the media, all of the liberal idiots, most of the Rinos, and the world effectively removed any chance of his being able to get the funding or resources to do anything about it. Remember Jimmy Carter got a Nobel Prize for solving giving North Korea while giving them the nuclear means to create the bomb. That is the type of attitude which has gotten us into this mess now. And it seems as if you still are following that mentality.

Even now the great asshOle is saying he is surprised at what Iran is doing. If Congress and our population had the testicles to follow up on important matters, Iran would now be in the same category as Libya. A loudmouth, impotent bunch of puny dictators.

And it is the attitude of millions of people such as yourself that has allowed such a thing to happen. Welcome to the real world and not the world of hugs and kisses you want.

"The Iranian government must now demonstrate through deeds its peaceful intentions, or be held accountable to international standards and international law," said U.S. President Barack Obama following the discovery.

What? You want them to repeat exactly the same process that got them there in the first place? Better hit them soon and hit them hard.
