Bullcrap. It could be ready if they wanted it ready. This is an intentional and designed delay.

0 has decided to give the Mullahs another freak'n YEAR, after they violated his third firm deadline, to work on their nukes unmolested. When that time is up, it'll be too late.

Iran will have the bomb, folks. Get ready for a much, much uglier and more dangerous world.

If I remember correctly, the original bunker buster went from design inception to deployment in a matter of weeks. Of course, this one is probably a lot more sophisticated than original, which was really just an old gun barrel filled with explosives with a laser guidance system slapped on. Still, it isn’t an F-22, so it’s hard to see what the holdup is. Whatever Obama’s motives are, it’s pretty clear he isn’t approaching the Iranian threat with any sense of urgency.

Mutually assured destruction seems to have reduced the number of people killed in wars. Conservatives usually believe that it's a dangerous thing for only the police to have guns, so wouldn't it also be dangerous if only the big police governments and their socialist friends had nukes? It probably wouldn't pass legal muster these days to use nukes against an enemy that didn't also have nukes, so Iran is qualifying themselves to become a green sheet of glass if they don't grow up real fast. Like guns, more than 99% of the security value of nukes is their possession rather than their use.

Yes, I expect Iran to nuke our forces in Iraq and China and Russia to move into the vacume created by the lack of National Guard troops... in America.

That's what Obama and the globalist elite intend to do:

Allow Iran's acquisition of the bomb, so that WWIII can flare up in the Middle East.
