This is my first time participating in the Watcher’s Council vote and I have been very impressed by the quality of the blog posts that were nominated. There are some wonderful writers in the blogosphere and never enough time to

ElBaradei thinks Iran would be “a few months” away from nuclear weapons capabilities once Natanz comes online, which the IAEA believes is about 2 years out.

That’s about 2 years from having the material. Then there’s the milling of the HEU(Highly Enriched Uranium) into the hemispherical form, etc. Even if they test it ‘in the field’ (ie Port Long Beach or anywhere else beyond Iranian testing grounds), we’re looking at about 3 years. Now that’s a far cry from the National Intelligence Estimate that inexplicably suggests ten or more years, but “a few months” it is not. Please see here:

ThreatsWatch.Org: RapidRecon: Iran not “a few months” from Nuclear Weapons

If you mistakenly think I sound like an IAEA or Iran apologist, please see here and/or here.

I want them stopped now. But allowing ourselves to hyperventilate on an out of context quote when there is plenty in-context to argue, in the long run, does the cause of stopping the Iranian nuclear program no good.

Thought you’d appreciate the original article for your own information.

Cheers.

HT Dr. Zin of Regime Change Iran

Many know I’ve previously “spammed” many a blog and mailbox with this meme. The light of the free world if shone of the Mad Mullahs of Iran will melt them just like water did the wicked witch of the East in the Wizard of OZ.

After all this is a war of ideologies that will ultimately be won by that ideology which is superior in providing for the needs and wants of free men and women. We must engage in this war of information. We must fight fire with fire.

Here’s more evidence of how the “truth” is a very powerful weapon that despotic regimes cringe from and seek to block in all manner.

Please help Dr. Zin in his mission and repost significant items from his blog so that those in Iran can read news/info that they wouldn’t otherwise see.

Frightening stuff. Israel already stated it would not and could not tolerate nuclear weapons in Iran. Now, Iran is only a few months away. Will we see a preemptive strike by Israel? Would that lead to a wider war between

Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. They are a terrorist nation that would not think twice about using them against Israel or U.S. interests. They have vowed to sell them to other countries and could even offer them to Al Qaeda. If t…

Back in my child rearing days I had a code that I lived by. If a child should draw a line in the sand and dare you to cross it, “Thou shalt not be disappointed”.

IAEA chairman Muhammad ElBaradei on Monday confirmed Israel’s assessment that Iran is only a few months away from creating an atomic bomb.
“If Teheran indeed resumes its uranium enrichment in other plants, as threatened, it will take it only sev…
