Bachman said that an “avowed madman” was going to drop nuclear bombs and Israel and American and then go on to take over the whole world.
And when you do a FACT CHECK on Bachmann's statements, Bachmann is totally full of crap.
"Los Angeles Times, Nov. 7:United Nations nuclear inspectors have concluded that Iran has acquired the technical means to design a nuclear weapon and would require about six months to enrich uranium to the quality needed for a bomb if it decided to do so, according to officials familiar with the evidence.
The Times story also said: “The IAEA report provides no ‘smoking gun’ proof that Iran’s government intends to build a nuclear weapon, said a European diplomat.” So, the country potentially would be months away from building a weapon, if it chose to do so, according to the Times’ unnamed sources.
But Bachmann gives the impression that Iran is actively working toward having that weapon within months, and the IAEA said it could not say for certain whether all of Iran’s nuclear activities were peaceful. “[T]he Agency is unable to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran, and therefore to conclude that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities,” the report said."
What irritates me most about this, is that I used to like Bachmann when she first got into the race. But the more I hear from her on foreign policy -- and especially on Israel where her eyes glaze over and she seems disconnected from reality -- the more I have begun to think that she is actually some messianic religious looney determined to bring about Armageddon & hasten The Second Coming. If that's true, then Ahmadinejad isn't the only totally crazy we need to worry about on Iran.
