US Intelligence: Iran Will Be Able To Build First Nuclear Bomb By February
DEBKAfile ^ | October 21, 2008

Posted on 10/21/2008 8:50:03 AM PDT by Strategy

US intelligence's amended estimate, that Iran will be ready to build its first bomb just one month after the next president is sworn in, is disclosed by DEBKAfile's Washington sources as having been relayed as a guideline to the Middle East teams of both presidential candidates, Senators John McCain and Barack Obama.

The information prompted the assertion by Democratic vice presidential nominee Joseph Biden in Seattle Sunday, Oct. 19: "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy."

Is this what Biden was referring to? Maybe Obama will have to bomb Iran, which will disappoint his supporters and result in a plunge in the polls.

Debka alert! Probably means the Mahdis had the bomb last February.

Obama won’t bomb Iran, though. He’ll sit down and talk with them after they bomb Israel and they will do that unless Israel takes them out first. In which case, Obama will bomb Israel.

Look for Israel to provide a late October or early November surprise that will help McCain.

Joe Biden knows this will be Obama’s big test. What will he do? Tea and cookies? Maybe have the UN issue some limp-wristed statement “condemning” Iran?

What about Israel? Jackson has told us that “Zionists will lose influence” under an Obama administration. Will Obama do nothing when they are attacked?

Prediction: Israel will launch a joint strike with John McCain in January.

They, Iran, will not test McCain. They know exactly what he would do. Obama wouldn’t know what to do, other than talk to them..........after the fact.

Biden said the American people will not like what the Obama Administration’s response is to such an attack. That’s because there won’t be a military response. Barack, will side with the Muslims.

Bingo! Even though this is DEBKA it rings very true. Combined with Slo Jo’s gaffe and the security briefing. Only fault in your analysis is that Biden was referring to Obama’s failure to support Israel through military action. They will try to force Israel’s acceptance of nuclear Iran. He was telling this to the very lefty supporters in Seattle that they would be needed as others, like Jewish dems decry Obama’s action. This is what Biden was about. take it to the bank!

When Biden says the American people, he means the Left.

Perhaps Israel will attack Iran after his election, and Obama will be forced to attack the Zionist Israel on behalf of the Iranian victims. That would be pretty unpopular with many Americans. Reality is always stranger than fantasy.

Now that is what I call a fantasy. America will never attack Israel.

Maybe this is how Ahmadinejad will "test" Barry as soon as he is inaugurated.
