(IsraelNN.com) A top official in the Obama Administration has at last admitted what intelligence agents and Israeli government officials have been warning about for years: Iran intends to build a nuclear arsenal.
In media interviews with American television news networks scheduled to air Sunday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said bluntly, "The Iranians have the intention of having nuclear weapons."
The statement was made just days after the discovery of a covert uranian enrichment site in Iran.

The list, ping
Double Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh!
not according to Saudis and Israel....
Bomb them now or bomb them later.
But they will be bombed.
I’ve lost all respect and confidence in Gates.
Obama makes Neville Chamberlain seem in retrospect a tower of strength.
The horses already left the barn...... YAWN
I wondered why Obama kept Gates. Now we know.
Before the election last year the CIA reported that Iran was years away didn’t it? I.m not a hot head, but the laws for treason need to be dusted off.
Level the threat.
All that they will do is unleash death on Europe and the west causing huge death.
They should have nipped it in the bud. The blister is only going to grow.
Obviously, Obama endorses his brothers.
JOY!....bstrds.
It’s never too late to nuke a long time enemy.
It’s never too late to act, just more expensive in terms of pain.
The primary results will not be pretty, not to mention the secondary effects on the market, credit, food and goods production, and everything having to do with money.
I hope everyone has their shelter, food, and personal defense needs for the next year or two fulfilled.
Answer: There were no Iranian mullahs around and the Saudi was handy.
Let’s all just give up.
i see sarkozy in the background, saudi king abdullah being bowed to by 0bama...
but who is the asian guy on the left? chinese by any chance?
re: US: Too Late to Stop Iran
No it’s not. It’s just that they won’t do what it takes to stop them. A medium yield nuclear device set off over Tehran would put an immediate stop to their progress toward getting a nuclear weapon.
Maybe we should just give them a couple of our nuclear weapons. We can even save them the time and trouble of having to detonate them. After all, what are friends for?
They are all thinking to themselves, “Wow, we’re all gonna have fun with this guy”. I bet they all have this pic somewhere filed under “What not to do to show weakness”. Obama is a fool and proves it every day.
Quote in context:
GATES: I think, my personal opinion is that the Iranians have the intention of having nuclear weapons. I think the question of whether they have made a formal decision to move towards the development of nuclear weapons, uh, is in doubt.
