Will this recent nuclear arms reduction conference prevent the terrorists from getting a nuke if Iran is factored in?

How considerate of Iran to delay unveiling its first nuke weapon after the next US election.

These clowns have been wrong about Iran, its use
of metallurgy against US and allied troops, and Islamic
nuke (including Pakistan) from DAY 1.

Why?

Yeah, because after another year of Obamunism we’ll just have The Glorious People’s Shining Path Ready Reserve in place. Theyll just redistribute all our nukes.

So we should ignore any random mushroom clouds prior to 2011?

What was the point with having a nuclear conference if the TWO MOST DANGEROUS PLAYERS, Iran and North Korea where NOT in the game?

Or ignore any “high fives” given to Israel in HIDDING if it decides to take upon itself the job of taking any Iranian reactors OUT?

"Iran not capable for at least a year..."

****

"I think that most estimates that I've seen, haven't changed since the last time we talked about it, which is probably at least a year, and maybe more," Gates told reporters....

Well then .... the question needs to be asked, 'Just when was the "last time we talked about it".

Sooo.... all pretense of Iran only using the nuclear materials for ‘power’ has been dropped? I must have missed that. I saw some idiot say Iran should have nuclear arms since Israel did. They conveniently forget the nutjobs in Iran are threatening to wipe out Israel, not the other way around.

Obama didn't want them to hear what we were saying.

I used to like the SOD. Now I think he is just another Obama pimp. He should take what little self respect he has left and resign.

We will know when Iran has a nuke, they will test it..........some where in Israel.

Afterward, the obama admin will blame Dubya.
