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.

I honestly don’t know who this guy is, how he thinks, who is running him, where he was born, what is his lineage,I know very little about him.
Israel will be forced to react to this threat. And when that happens 000ps will scapegoat them further, along with the UN.
Like Clinton,zero will say anything to any one. It all depends on the audience and the day.
Only people with hollow cores and solid agendas can accomplish this.
Did anyone who voted for Obama think he had a backbone to enforce the will of the world on Iran? If they did then they are bigger fools than I think they are!
We know basically nothing about him including what passport he used after he was 18 and made trips abroad. We have no idea if he was a foreign student on a scholarship in college since his college records are sealed. He brags about his Administration being open but when it comes to him, it cannot get any more closed. Spending over $1M to keep his birth records secret is insane unless he has something to hide which is exactly what it looks like.
But then I am one of these that believes passport records of someone running for President should be an open book like they were before Clinton. I am tied of the Feds protecting lowlifes that run for President. Everything including college records should be an open book.
Our MSM is rotten to the core with their lack of investigating ZERO!
If Iran happens to strike first he will do what he does best, take money from us to rebuild Israel, only the money really won't go there. This guy is slick.
I don’t think he has one core value which is what scares me. I am not sure he knows who he is except was raised by Communist sympathizers who hung around with Franklin Davis. He can recite the Muslim prayer with no difficulty and our MSM thought it was wonderful.
Israel should bomb the shite out of Iran imho
Sure he is. He would love Iran to take out Israel. Israel is a pain in his as* and he loves his Muzzie brothers. Then he would just blame it all on Bush, they developed them under his watch(which is true) and when the dust settled, he would be happy and his Palestinian brothers get Israel after the radiation settles down.
It is like your child is misbehaving, do you stop them or do you say, I will give you one year to stop that?
Obama is an idiot! Get him out of the village before it is too late.
One thing that really surprises me is that no reputable journalist,(on the right)has dug up all they could on him yet. Yes it would be a massive job but you would think someone has a book in the works. It’s just to obvious for one of us not to do.
Israel should never take the offensive, only defensive.
God had cautioned the Israelites in numerous passages throughout the Law and the Prophets that His ways were peaceful and that to please Him they needed to pursue a similar course.
"...the throne shall be made secure in gentleness." (Is.16:5). Prophecy can apply to all times, not just one time.
"Understand this clearly: today I have given you solemn warning. You were playing with your own lives when you made me your envoy to the Lord. You have not obeyed the word of God or the message he gave you, so understand this clearly, you are going to die by sword, famine and plague in the place where you have been wanting to go and settle." (Jer.42:20-22).
"Because you have trusted in your chariots and in your host of warriors, turmoil is going to break out in your towns and all your fortresses will be laid waste." (Hos.10:13).
So, what God takes care of may not be what you think. From the beginning, God commanded peace and faith.
I've thought so too. And, what did Obama name his first-born child? Malia.
I am with you on a conservative jounrnalist not bothering to investigate either. It is beyond disgusting. I bet you are correct because it made no sense to move to Hawaii. Who paid for their way to Hawaii because from all accounts her parents were not well off. The whole deal stinks!
Here we go with that EMP fable again.
It is creepy and the crickets chirping from the media is just as creepy. Does the MSM hate the US Constitution and Conservatives as much as ZERO, Malcolm X, Farrenkhan and their ilk?
Oh Yea.....
.....Well oiled with biodegradable, renewable, banana oil, guaranteed to let the banana go where they want it to go.....
There is no doubt Obama and the RATS have an organized machine behind them that was created just for the RAT-RAT-RAT House-Senate-WH scenario. It's just that I am not surprised.
It will take someone far better equipped than I with a virtual unlimited budget to do this job, it’s over my head.
But I think it will be done.
