“neocons”

Why do you use this Marxist term?

How are you holding up? I got out of this madhouse for a while after Trump lost his mind. I’m sure it has been breathtaking to behold as the TDS fake MAGAs leave their transmissions on FR highway by slamming them from “no new forever war” into full blown backstabbing, lying, warmongering Zionist stooge gear.

Yeah they asked the mullahs real nice-like - “Are you guys trying to build a nuclear bomb?”, and the mullahs said “Of course not, we signed a treaty that says we won’t!”

Obviously no nukes being built in Iran! If you can’t trust your friendly neighborhood crazy jihadist Muslim clerics, who can you trust?!

</sarcasm - hopefully obvious>

“Enrichment” refers to the process of increasing the proportion of U235 (fissionable) in a given sample relative to U238. U235 only occurs as .7% in a given sample of uranium. Power reactors demand a u-235 content of 3 to 5%. Weapons demand a 90% level of u-235. There is no commercial use for Uranium-235 enriched above 5%, other than for the eventual production of weapons.

Yeah, the book was fascinating in how all that was done.

This book?

It was very informative, as was his subsequent "Dark Sun, the Making of the Hydrogen bomb."

Everyone needs to read both of those books.

WIKI (about Scott’s wife)

Alexandrovna also reported that while Plame was undercover, she was involved in an operation identifying and tracking weapons of mass destruction technology to and from Iran. Alexandrovna suggested that her [Plume’s] outing “significantly hampered the CIA’s ability to monitor nuclear proliferation.”

[MSNBC]
Intelligence sources say Valerie Wilson was part of an operation three years ago tracking the proliferation of nuclear weapons material into Iran. And the sources allege that when Mrs Wilson’s cover was blown, the Administration’s ability to track Iran’s nuclear ambitions was damaged as well.

CBS News would later confirm Plame “was involved in operations to prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons.”

Iran was developing nuclear weapons and has developed very capable strategic ballistic missile systems to deliver them.

That is beyond any dispute.

They were rushing to build and detonate a demo nuclear device to join North Korea in the Untouchable Nuclear Depot Club

Yes they were. They absolutely were, and the people with their head in the sand almost let them do it.

Thank God brave little Israel did the job *WE* should have done 30 years ago.

“On our part”

That would’ve been Obama/Biden and Biden/Harris, et al, doing our part on behalf of us stupid little people

300 Million people killed by Islam in an 800 year period.

The only group that comes close to Islam's body count is Communism.

Valerie Plame is the gal that sent her own husband to Africa to find out if Saddam Hussein was buying yellowcake, from Nigeria, I think.

That obnoxious Democrat operative came back and exclaimed, "I talked to all the corrupt lying African leaders, and they said "No. We aren't doing anything illegal!" "

Both he and she needed to go to prison for this attempt to manipulate the voters.

Oh, sure, the CIA and MI6 presumably were in on it. But it was a Maxwell operation via Mossad.

Worse, they have a stranglehold on our pols.

““With this attack, they’re actually more likely to pursue nuclear weapons now, whereas before they actually were not pursuing them.”

This. If Iran survives this intact they will be incentivized to change their nuclear posture and pursue one. They saw what happened to Libya and see that the US won’t attack North Korea.

He was a bastard for saying that too, because IMHO he’s helping the Democrats with a statement like that, since he’s essentially letting them off the hook for the assassination attempts in which all indicators directly point to crazy left loons from the United States, not Iran for crying out loud.

I don’t think Bibi thinks of anyone beyond his own elbows, but if it weren’t so unbelievable that would indeed be so.

I am very, very happy to hear that Trump is taking 2 weeks, ignoring the pressure from the Biber.

I think of this perhaps as his Musk moment, whereby no matter how much you donated to his campaign he’s not going to just follow your orders when you want the return on your investment. Certainly I hope that is so.
