Writing in Bloomberg View on Monday, journalist Eli Lake says US President Barack Obama has known for years that Iran needed only 2-3 months to produce enough fuel for a nuclear bomb, but purposely avoided saying so publicly, stressing instead that a full year was needed for Iran to build a nuclear bomb.
Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz on Monday acknowledged that the US has known for years that Iran is just two to three months form having enough fissile material for a nuclear bomb.
When asked how long the Obama administration has known this, he responded, "Oh, quite some time. They are now, they are right now spinning, I mean enriching with 9,400 centrifuges out of their roughly 19,000. Plus all the...R&D work. If you put that together it's very, very little time to go forward. That's the 2-3 months."
Lake spoke with Brian Hale, a spokesperson of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, who confirmed that the two to three month estimate on fissile material was only declassified on April 1.

Yeah, we've known that for a long time. I believe history will curse his name. He will be mentioned along with Caligula and Mao, except he will be thought of as the "dumb one."
You forgot to mention his raw egotism.
On who’s side do you think is valjar?
Absolutely right. He is a legend in his own mind. Of course we could spend hours listing all of his extant pathologies.
And American Jews will line the halls to worship Obama and lay an offering of as money as necessary at his feet.
How a country could be dumb enough to elect a man with a fake name and hidden past is mindboggling.
That’s what is killing this idiocracy. The lady parts are next, since skin color has already been voted.
Iran’s, of course.
They already have a nuke thanks to Hillary and Obama. There is no deal. Just a settlement that Iran will wait until after the US elections to let the world know. And the US will give them the ransom they are already demanding. It is basically a settlement for extortion.
he obscured the details of his health care plan.
he obscured the details of the attack in benghazi.
he obscured the details of his immigration orders.
he obscures the details of his gitmo prisoner releases.
he obscured the details of his cuba initiative.
he obscured the details of the IRS targeting.
he obscured the details of fast and furious.
least transparent, most dishonest administration in history.
They have the capacity to do it. But as soon as they do, the refined uranium will emit radiation that is measure able from a distance. That’s when everyone will know. So they get close, and stockpile. And they develop a delivery system. So if they decide to go all of the way, they can put it to work in short order.
Barry wants this country attacked.
Covers multiple goals.
Kills actual partiotic americans.
Polluts the country.
Destroys infrastructure that will be hard to restore.
Will flame additional riots. Flamed on by barry himself.
Gives his muslim brothers a huge victory.
Gives him as a muslim that hates this country, a huge victory.
Gives him opportunity to start martial law in affected areas and increase across the country.
Gives him questionable justification to nationalize police.
Gives him ability to move people out of rural areas into urban areas.
No idea...
Oh. So we can track every soviet nuclear weapon from a distance?
Good to know, but shouldn’t that little factoid be highly classified?
If it were actually true anyway...
And of course the GOP knew all this and assisted his ‘obscurement’.
Lets keep voting for the people trying to kill us.
Someone explain to me why we should trust anything Obama has ever said?
Obama’s legacy will be the fool that gave Islam the atomic bomb that destroyed the world............
If Iran has a bomb, Israel knows about it. I don’t think Israel can wait to be nuked. One nuke would wipe out the whole country.
Known for years they needed only 3 months to make a bomb? So how many nukes do they have?
You weren’t supposed to notice that minor detail.
I don’t think they do yet simply because Israel is still there. Their first test will be Tel Aviv. And their second. And third. And fourth and Gd help them if they fight back because then Barry will nuke them and ours DO work.
