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 think Obama wants Israel nuked as much as A’jad does.
I honestly can’t see the end of the year. Things are that bad, and this guy is so creepy, I fear that something is going to happen.
G-d will take care of the problem—this fool will be fiddling and will be very upset when Israel eradicates Iran’s nuclear program....
Given his schooling and associates, I would fear the worst in his opinions of Israel.
0be ain't the 0nly 0ne.
Don’t leave us out of his wish list for destruction.
Of course he is. He wants to pressure Israel to give up sovereignty over parts of Jerusalem under the guise of creating a Palestinian (no such thing) state.
He want's to be seen as a champion for Islam, which he has said in the past he would side with if push came to shove.
Iran, when it gets one or more nukes, will seek to detonate over Israel at an altitude which will end Israel’s edge militarily because the IDF will be electronically blind. Israel is surrounded by a hundred million blood-lusting Arabs, so the Persians will once again use the stupid Arabs for Persian pawns.
Is this a shock? I want to know why he hasnt ended the war in Iraq, closed Guantanamo and gotten control of the world wide problems we have with his engaging personality, brilliance, good looks and wit? What happened to the “Change we can believe in”?
This man was raise a Muslim when he lived with his step father in Indonesia. He once said the most beautiful sound in the world was the Muslim call to prayer. He helped Louis Farrakhan (a black Muslim) organize the Million Man March.
He deeply bowed to the Saudi Prince.
He definitely has a soft spot for Muslims in the Middle East, whether he is a Muslim now or not.
He’s not dumb. So it must be deliberate.
What good is being a usurper if you don’t make use of it.
Well, Duh. Of course he is. How better to be re-elected than as a ‘Nuclear War Sitting President!’
*SPIT*
Which is why I don’t think the Israelis are going to let Iran get a nuke.
Good description.
I have never stopped believing that if you leave the dirty dems alone they will always self destruct as well.Just look at Piglosi.
Resident (Pres_ent) Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., or Barry Soetero, or Mr Michelle Robinson, or Sock Puppet, has all the time in the world to get it right for Iran - he has a Time Machine! He can bring the US to a screeching halt and throw it right back to 1933. FDR may have started out with all good intentions, but he simply did not have the luxury of enough TIME to get his “New Deal” working right. The “New New Deal” may be tested out in little bumps and stretches, so it will be fully engineered when it is launched for real.
Pay no attention to that little man there behind the curtain! The Great and Mighty Oz has spoken!
