I know the CIA says publicly they are years away...but you have to wonder what they REALLY think.

Years away? lol No freakin way.

Iran has the links to get nukes. It is just a matter of whether or not someone gave them the weapons.

I am sure Iran already has some sort of weapon...whether a full nuke or not is the question.

"I know the CIA says publicly they are years away...but you have to wonder what they REALLY think."

There seems to be an assumption being made by many media analysts - and the media that parrots what they think - that Iran is several years away from producing a nuclear weapon. What they repeatedly fail to take into account is the high probability that the Paki guy (whose name I forget at the moment) gave/sold the necessary technology/material to the Mullahs to "kick start" their program. In other words, Iran could very well be only months away from going nuclear.

My own guess is that the clock is quickly approching midnight faster than the public is being led to believe. The recent actions and rhetoric out of the Europeans of all people help to reinforce this theory.
