LONG WAR JOURNAL.org - Threat Matrix ^ | November 4, 2009 12:48 PM | By ROBERT BARRY

Iran reports having thousands of centrifuges spinning away to make fuel for their upcoming power reactors. Others think that Iran has it in mind to make weapons material using those same centrifuges. In fact, Iran could divert just 1% of its centrifuge production and have enough weapons-grade material to make a few bombs per year. The arithmetic is provided here below.

Obozo thinks he is the Mahdi (Hidden Imam)

Thought that Mahmoud Ahmedinejad agreed, he was always talking that bull to Putin. Sure it bored the old Commie.

Well, that is yep if you mean Ahmadinejad thinks that the Hidden Mahdi is coming soon.

As for “Obozo” I wouldn’t know.

“As for “Obozo” I wouldn’t know.”

Nor do I for certain, but his shear arrogance invokes my smell test reaction.

He is a stealth Muzzie, owned lock stock and rain barrel by outside interests. Committed to destroying what we recognize as the United States.

It is our task to prevent that and send him back to the hell hole when he came.

I think the article is a disinformation piece. There are several points that do not jive with what I have read about the process.

There may be a good reason to do that.

Krazy Rags with Nukes are a dangerous thought.

Any previous “President” would have dealt with this type of threat. The “one” who sleeps in the White House will not. He is in love with the Mullahs, and all the rest of the petty dictators.
