Iran could have ability to build nuclear bomb by 2010, study warns

Iran will amass enough low-enriched uranium this year to have the ability to build a nuclear bomb by the end of 2010, a respected think tank has predicted.

By David Blair, Diplomatic Editor 28 Jan 2009

Mark Fitzpatrick, the senior fellow for non-proliferation at the IISS, said: "This year, it's very likely that Iran will have produced enough low-enriched uranium which, if further enriched, could constitute enough fissile material for one nuclear weapon, if that is the route Iran so desires."

Last year, no, last week, no, tomorrow, no, next week/month/quarter/year/decade.

Someone needs to make up their mind. Or maybe we need to make absolutely certain they’re manufacturing them and turn their government into glass.

Either way, the endless guesstimates which always seem JUST A YEAR AWAY have been ridiculous for some time now.

I’m waiting for Barry O to declare war over something like this and the media fawn over it like it’s the best idea ever.

With the direction O and the Demos are taking the intelligence community, I guess the CIA will just have to sit and watch Tel Aviv. When it disappears, Iran has the bomb.

Barry won’t declare war. He just gave Iran the go ahead on nukes. H just threw the US and Israel under the bus during the interview with al-arabia.... he has put America in a weak and dangerous position, globally. He also shown his weakness which will hinder him gaining respect thru out the world.

Bullfrog

Oh, no way, no bet. 'cause unless Israel takes them out, Iran will develop a bomb. However, O will never have a genuine US birth certificate...
