Some troubling news has come out from the British Guardian. According to sources in the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iranian scientists have been working on a nuclear warhead design which makes it easier to miniaturize the bomb. This allows the warhead to be placed on a missile for deployment.
Western weapons experts say there are no such civilian applications, but the use of co-ordinated detonations in nuclear warheads is well known. They compress the fissile core, or pit, of the warhead until it reaches critical mass.

Liberal Talking: “It is just that war monger Cheney again, he is using his CIA contacts to insert false news stories in the foreign press. Iran is a peaceful country that just wants Israel to make peace with the Arab World.”
They aren’t going to do anything till a bomb goes off. Then they will say, too late to do anything because they have the bomb and we need to deal with reality.
These enablers make me sick. Don’t they get it that leadership means shaping the reality of tomorrow and not being a victim to it?

I guess when Washington suddenly become 10 million degrees, it won't be due to global warming.
Don’t they need to test their material and bomb first? ie) an underground test, as we saw India, Pak, N. Korea do?
F&F repeatedly incorrectly reported this as ‘test of a nuclear weapon’...
Sheeesssshhhhh......
Thread from earlier today, still on the “Breaking News” pane:

“Our nuclear projects are only related to the production of energy...”
Israel: GREEN LIGHT
Better that than a yellow/red one...
That wasn’t incorrect, it was a nuclear weapon test without the nuclear material present. The test pit can be inert, examining it after the test will tell if the bomb would have worked.
I am sure O is worried about his tee time tomorrow.
To be blunt, no. Analogy: You don’t have to test black powder before smokeless (gun) powder if you know how to make both.
Miniaturizing the A-bomb also allows them to MIRV their missiles.
