Nuclear Iran A Month Away, With Obama, Bush To Blame

Iran: A top independent nuclear expert now believes the regime in Tehran could have enough fuel to build an atomic weapon in about a month. Both the Obama and Bush administrations saw this day coming.

------------

"Since October 2012 when ISIS last published detailed breakout assessments about Iran's gas centrifuge uranium enrichment program, Iran has steadily expanded the number of IR-1 centrifuges installed at both its Fordow and Natanz gas centrifuge plants," ISIS reported.

"Today, Iran could break out most quickly using a three-step process" and could produce a significant quantity of weapon-grade uranium "in as little as approximately 1.0—1.6 months," it said.

What's more, "A covert plant offers Iran additional options for cascade configuration and relatively fast breakout times," Albright's analysis warns. "In the ideal scenario with optimized cascade structure and very good centrifuge performance, it is possible that Iran could use a covert plant to break out in as little as approximately one to two weeks."

---------

It cannot be a coincidence that a new public relations-savvy Iranian president seeks to talk to Obama right when his Islamofascist regime is gaining full atomic weapons capability.

And they said the Cold War was dangerous times.

The big danger I see is that, once Iran gets a working device, they must use it almost immediately.

UK, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and others will want to zap it before it can be used.

Extreme elements will be after it to burn a pit when and where THEY want it.

So it will be use it, or lose it.

The difference between Bush and Obama is that Obama is happy about this.

If the world didn't crash when the genocidal Mao acquired nuclear weapons, I doubt we should lose much sleep over Iran.

If Iran really wanted to commit national suicide like the scaremongers maintain, they already have enough missiles and rockets with Hezbollah in Lebanon capable of carrying chemical warheads to provoke a doomsday response from Israel.

When they refine the stuff from 20% to 90% it will start to emit a certain level of radiation detectable around the world. From that point to a bomb is a matter of weeks. THAT is when the line is crossed.

I am in no way defending Iran or Obama’s policy. I am just saying the final trip line will be obvious to those paying attention with the proper equipment. We are obviously not there yet.

Why is it obvious? Because the labs are not rubble.

As I recall, Bush sent a couple of carrier groups headed towards Iran. The Valery Plame wings of the CIA came out screaming that Iran was decades away from anything close to a nuclear weapon. The entire kingdom of leftist media came out against Bush and any action. The carriers turned around.

I certainly will. I know that the most likely targets are the ignorant and corrupt people living in the marxist strong holds we call cities. The fact that these same people put administrations in office that took us to this point in history is well ...priceless. They will suffer the consequences of their actions. BTW we are at this point in history because of Jimmy Carter. Whatever a nuclear armed Iran does to the world going forward Jimmy Carter and the democrats are responsible for it.
