Iran Crosses the Red Line

Iran has officially crossed the “red line” in its nuclear weapons development. That is the conclusion a team of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors reached after a surprise inspection of Iran’s uranium enrichment plant at Natanz this past Sunday...The Israelis have warned for years that once Iran “crossed the red line” of mastering enrichment technology, they would take military action. They have never said when, or how. But they have assumed, rightly, that any Iranian nuclear weapon would have ISRAEL written all over it, and are determined to prevent it from being built.

I know exactly how to shut them down. It’s not very nice, but it would work perfectly. But of course, not many are willing to go there.

Should have posted a photo of Marnie Nixon since she actually sang the song in the movie.

Why they didn't use Julie Andrews in the movie since she did the role on Broadway is one of life's mysteries.

A ‘shift’ of minor nature is enough to cause them to become unbalanced, and at those speeds they run at, you can’t just ‘shut them off’ because they are fiber carbon and will more or less collapse upon themselves, releasing a gas thats 100% fatal to humans.

Encouraging news.

I have read about another "red line," when they ban inspectors completely (it might have been a writer at the National Review). At that point, there would be no telling how close they are, and how much time is left before disaster.

The inspector redline may not exist if Iran is unconcerned about them ever finding their "secret" locations..
Why ban inspectors if they aren't even close to knowing where to look?

Leaving the inspectors free to roam around inspecting "safe" sites creates a false illusion that no threat yet exists.

In such a scenario the first clue Israel gets is an incoming missile..

I must agree with your Olmerde analysis. Hell, he’s just sitting on his hands while the mohammedans continue to launch kassams into Israeli territory.
