According to John Bolton and other experts the Iranians are expected to start putting in the fuel rods into the Bushehr reactor over the weekend at the latest.
Once they’re in place any attack on the nuclear plant will result in radioactive fallout over populated areas and no doubt severe responses from even relatively friendly countries. The attack in 1981 on Iraq’s Osirak reactor took place before the fuel rods were loaded for this very same reason.
Of course the Bushehr reactor is actually the lesser worry since it wouldn’t be able to produce enough plutonium for a weapon for several years. It’s the labs in the North concentrating highly enriched uranium that are likely to produce the first bomb.
It’s currently 5am on Friday in Iran. So this is about the last possible moment for Israel to take out Iran’s nuclear program cleanly.
Just up on Drudge:
SOURCES: NYT PLANS PAGE ONE EXCLUSIVE FRIDAY ON OBAMA’S CURRENT THINKING RE IRAN NUKE WEAPONS... DEVELOPING... ??
If they fail to do something (because Lord knows, America has failed them) before the reactor comes on-line - they are Dead Men Walking.
No, tonight is not the night.....despite the continued hype....you all make Nostradamus look amatuerish..... =.=
I cannot imagine the country of Israel allowing this to occur!
I may be way off base, but I am of the opinion they will be doing something within the next 12 to 15 hours. If they do not, it will be one hell of a suprise.
I bet that an Israeli attack will find Obama on the golf course.
This was reported a few weeks ago — I would think, however, the deal still stands.

I pray the deed is done and Haretz is just slow.
God Bless America, and our Israeli fiends.
I was just telling my daughter how I want to take all my kids on hiloday to Haifa Israel, best city i’vew ever been to.
I faithfully pray nightly for Bibi and Israel.
Perhaps all this ‘Obama is a Muslim chatter’ in the lame stream is a purposeful distraction?
If 0bama were to interrupt his vacation on Marxist Vineyard, he might be haunted by the ghost of Walter Cronkite.
Wasn’t there a report this week that Obama was taking his National Security team with him to MV?
Anyone remember that?
U.S. persuades Israel that Iran nuke threat not imminent http://nyti.ms/dwcMuc less than 10 seconds ago via breakingnews.com
I hope your right but My gut says it will not happen. They have waited to long and lack the will also. We should have STRONGLY supported they verbally and with resource and because we will not they can not stand alone and will not try to do so.
I Hope I am wrong.
Perhaps it will also give Dear Leader ‘cover’ when he sides w/Iran. ‘He has Muslim sympathies, we are stunned, we tell ya...’ And he “moves on.”
I just think ‘the other shoe’ is about to drop; and Barky’s screw ups and ‘in your face’ abuses (all the vacations for one) are just part of some eleventy layered chess game we all just don’t see.
That said, my heartfelt prayers for Israel, her leaders and military.
I just wonder ... what’s sparked all this
new passport, religion, muslim reporting ..
and the VACATIONS.
Prayers for Israel and her long suffering
people.
My gut-level feeling matches yours. Too little, too late. Too bad...
Oh yeah ... remember:
Friday’s news dump day ..
tomorrow .. and he’ gone
AGAIN for TEN DAYS.
Yes - Nat. Security Team is in tow

Right, there’s something going on and it’s all above his pay grade. He’s in over his head, but his regime is equally imcompetent, but maybe not all communists.
