I have taken the position for the past half year or so that Iran is bluffing on it's nuclear cycle capabilities.
I weary of re-writing reasons why I believe this is the case, but concure with your over all assesment.
Regarding the oil drilling/distribution in the USA, I take a different stand.
It will take years to actually realize those alternate fuel sources, assuming the congress,president, and all the tightly associated industries where actually in concordance to work toward the day the US could become oil independent.
The US airforce and Navy will eventually be in the position to take out deep buried nuclear facilities once the current series of deep penetrating nuclear/non-nuclear bombs are put into contruction... perhaps less then a year away. Once we can destroy things at 150-200 feet plus into solid bedrock, then with certainty we will be ready to surgically take out all their underground nuclear develepment facilities.
GWB only waits for these new deep penetrators to be fully tested and approved for use.
I am getting ready for work, so will not be available for what could be interesting dialogs with the Freepers in this post.
So to all, do have a great day.

i nominate this as our probable path-TX for concept/idea.
