There's way to much rumor mongering going on about the Central Asian republics. If this were true and clear to US intelligence, why would the President be making a showdown over the enrichment process in Iraq now?

That really doesn't make any sense. Any military action would invite nuclear retaliation from the mullahs. They don't seem to dissuaded from MAD or any nuclear deterrent for that matter.

Although I feel they may in fact have a weapon, I thought it might have been through a combination of Chinese, Pakistani and illegally obtained material via the black market.

That's not comforting either. But the case if you can call it that here, is presented in a much worse light.

So why has Tehran not nuked Israel yet in the last five or so years? They seem like they can't wait to "wipe" them "off the map" which is about as close to a nuclear description of engagement as you can get.

The same reason why North Korea hasn't done the same to the South.

Of course but North Korea doesn't have a messianic religious driven death wish.

It made not be religious, but its no less fanatical, in fact, I would say even more so.
Iran would have attacked Israel with its is known stockpiles of chemical weapons long ago if it truely had a hair trigger deathwish for a speed-date with the apocalypse.
Oh, they want to destroy Israel alright, but I think they are more patient about it than what their rhetoric indicates.

I hope something is done. Iran's president has a suicidal death wish. We will have no choice. The alternative is either a uclear exchange between Israel and Iran or NYC wiped off the map through al queda. Even without nukes it would be worth it to go in there and remove the mullahs because they are the world's biggest terrorist supporters.

I do not believe Iran has nuclear weapons.

I don't believe the Mossad believes they do, either.

Or the CIA.

"Of course but North Korea doesn't have a messianic religious driven death wish".

Iran's messianic death wish came to power on August 15th 2005 and it took time for Ahmadi-Nejad to place his IRGC Commanders into key posts and get himself and lunatic Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi positioned to remove Supreme Ruler Khamenei or former president Rafsanjani should they oppose the neo-Iran regime.

Rafsanjani's son was arrested in a show of power (later released when Rafsanjani backed down) and Khamenei believes his liver cancer comes from being poisoned.

As their readiness increased so did the threats. The old nuclear weapons Iran had acquired (around a dozen units) were not missile capable and nore of the dirty bomb use kind. What they are trying to develop is small powerful weapons they can put into their almost ready long range missile.

There are several simultaneous matters in play so simply eradicating Israel is only a showpiece not a true end all and be all for now. Not until other aims have been achieved by the neo-regime.

Destruction of Israel priority will change if Iran is attacked militarily.

FReepers need to know what that piece of trash said. His post should have not been removed.

This is what we are up against!

Post # 11 needs to be put back so FReepers can know what is happening and what they are up against.

Post #11 was an eye opener

Iran won’t do any testing like everyone else does.

The Iranian Nuclear Test site will be Israel.

The troll was nuked, so all his posts were automatically removed. Your suggestion of restoring the post is a good one, though. Post restored.

Thanks. I was appalled and also shocked into reality. This should make people aware and ready to defend. They are amongst us.

Thanks mod.
