Has President Obama inadvertently given Iran the green light to develop an atom bomb? I only ask because it appears to be the logical conclusion to be drawn from his announcement this week that he is giving Iran until the end of the year to decide whether or not to co-operate with the West over its controversial nuclear programme.
...
Under pressure from a visiting Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, to explain the latest White House position on Iran, a relaxed Mr Obama remarked: "We should have a fairly good sense by the end of the year as to whether [the Iranians] are moving in the right direction."
The only problem with this somewhat lackadaisical approach to the most pressing security issue of the modern age is that, come the end of the year, Iran's development of a nuclear weapon will be a fait accompli.
At the heart of the international campaign to persuade Tehran to halt its programme is the awareness that, according to intelligence estimates, Iran will by the end of this year have sufficient quantities of low-enriched uranium (LEU) to build a nuclear warhead. Even the most doveish intelligence analysts agree that 2,000 kilos would be sufficient for an atom bomb, and in March, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN's nuclear watchdog, confirmed that Iran had so far successfully produced half of that amount in its uranium enrichment facility at Natanz.
Natanz has the capacity to produce 100 kilos of LEU a month, which means that, unless Tehran can be persuaded to halt its enrichment activities, it will have all the fuel it needs to produce a bomb by the end of year just when Mr Obama will be looking to Tehran to respond to his peace overtures.

“Has President Obama inadvertently given Iran the green light to develop an atom bomb?”
There is nothing inadvertent about Obama.
He’s either a boy with no clue or evil to the bone.... perhaps both, but he’s not inadvertent.

Yeah exactly!
His problem is how to do it all at midnight when no one is watching.
That’s awful white of him
To get what he has done this fast would require all kinds of background organizaion well beyond the talents of a "community organizer."
Whomever is pulling his strings really knows their stuff and has us well on the way to the destruction of free market capitalism and the installation of communism.
Scary bunch ruling us now.
ZERO’s speech in Philly before the election was a Malcolm X speech for the most part so you are correct. He is also buddies with Farrenkhan, and we all know about Rev Wright who encouragers Muslims to worship as his church so they can pretend to be Christian. Guess that is what is to be expected out of Wright who was a Muslim at one time — takes one to know one.
Unfortunately he doesn’t need the dark of night when he has a complicit media. You would think they would scream bloody murder over him producing his own White House media presentations but they haven’t.
W and the last Congress kicked it off.
Maybe I am reading this wrong, but LEU cannot be used in a nuclear warhead unless you want to build a dirty bomb. It takes U235 from HEU (highly enriched uranium to build a fission warhead.

Dontcha love the choice of words here, ay. “Inadvertently”? Is that the new synonym for “deliberately” or “purposely”? Sure it is.
Iran needs to the end of the year to have the bomb. Obama (because he is a muslim) has said “yes”.
I'm not surprised.
Obama and the RATS are the "dream team" those anti-Americans have been waiting for.....
....."We are the ones WE have been waiting for."
The rapidity of advancement is due to the 2010 pressure. They learned from Clinton's 1994 loss in Congress. Clinton moved right to remain in office, but they lost all the socialist dream programs like U-Health Care in the process.
They will not let that happen again. For that reason, we are in trouble. Obama and the RATS will pass as much as they can by 2010. Then Obama sits on the gains while a conservative backlash Congress (hopefully) pushes back to the tune of Veto after Veto.
That's the excuse the dems are running with but the biggest mistake that W made other than a few unbalanced (totally unnecessary as well) budgets that are minuscule compared to zeros is allowing the 700 billion bailout. That IMHO was his biggest mistake and the one that let the rats off the hook for a while but not along. And no where near what they have done.
Zero has spent more that all spending before him X13,just unreal.
That is the scarey one. I didn’t realize the speech in Philly was right out of Malcolm X until a black I know from Tulsa who detests ZERO told me. He sent me the link and I was in shock. I personally think that is one of his heroes which sends a chill up my spine.
He gave his firs interview to an Arab TV station... He “allowed” anti-semitic slurs to be posted on his various websites... there’s probably more.
