It is stupid to treat the Iranians as intellectually inferior. They aren’t. They have far more technical resources than Iraq, and Saddam was able to enrich Uranium, make nerve agents (not too hard) and make biological weapons (a little harder).

Give the Iranians time, and they’ll have a nuclear weapon deliverable anywhere on earth, and the ability to inflict a devastating EMP attack on any country on earth with only one weapon.

OR, they might be getting ready to nuke Israel. We simply don’t know. Either way, we have already demosntrated by word and action that we have no stomach for war. So, Iran can basically do whatever the Mullahs want. Without nuclear testing, our arsenal is unreliable and most likely, useless. Even if our nukes are operationa, does anyone think Obama would have the will to use them?

But does the world have the will to respond in said manner, especially knowing full well that six or seven figures’ worth of Iranian innocents would be likely to die in such a response? That’s the big question.

So $1 billion is nothing compare to what they have wasted since past 20 years to get their hands on nuclear enrichment system.

As long as ayatollahs can suck petrol money to fulfill their dreams, they continue to do so and people hurt the most with the crumbling economy and very poor and abusive human Rights records.

On the one hand I’d probably not be interested in an auto built in Iran or fly in a plane built in Iran. On the other hand they seem determined to enrich uranium and improve their rocket firing capability. It seems like either they’re trying to build a nuclear weapon or make us think they are. Doesn’t seem smart not to believe them.

HAW HAW! EVERYONE POINT AND LAUGH AT THE MULLAHS

However, pretending that it was successful when it wasn’t is so typical of them.

Of course, what they (like North Korea) plans to do with a working rocket system should be intolerable to the rest of the world.

It’s a club, certain folks aren’t invited, too bad. Way it should be anyway.

The ‘Iranian bomb’ will likely go off in their faces when they try to assemble it.

Primitives.

(1) If they do manage to get one to blow up on cue (preferred) or accidentally, they will be starting over on building more. That is assuming they try a test detonation to prove their design. Project Manhattan had a few duds before they worked the kinks out.

(2) If they can build another bomb, assuming a good test, we will all know. If they fire another rocket into space with a warhead next time, we will know it, and they will have ensured that they will be destroyed by a return attack. They bring a bomb to the fight, the world has a full arsenal to respond.

(3) My third consideration is that the religious fanatics want death and destruction to fall on their people, forcing a fulfillment of their prophesys. In other words that is their goal, and we need to take out the nuke stuff soon.

No real good options. Obaba’s “Let’s talk” strategy will work as well as Carter’s did.
