Ok so now it makes more sense the press reports the obvious that we have all known. (I remember the headline on Drudge-Iran months away from nuke) then they cover for 0bama.

I believe this shows us all the power in the media. If the WSJ/0bama/Gibbs say Iran not a threat-IT IS an accepted fact.

0bama has been called direct to the carpet they better fire up his teleprompter cause crap has hit the fan.

MY PREDICTION” Obama will act a little bit like he cares but he has an agenda at the UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY that is more important than him being a good POTUS.

Robert Gibbs himself today referred all other questions on this by saying look for 0bama at the UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY.(Read my last threads to see the URL for this)

So... folks 0bama lied and he does not care. Tomorrow Gibbs will say ahhhhhh ummmmm look for 0bama at the UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Somebody high in our government had best not wait for a tea party uprisal to SPEAK OUT on this and call for impeachment hearings for 0bama taking another role in a foreign country (UN)

Not worry about Europeans, they will never be nuked by Iran or Russia, because they won’t mind living under Sharia law when the islamo-threat-time comes.

If Israel doesn’t attack, we fall into the MAD situation some of us have been predicting for some time. That strikes me as the most likely scenario.

Looks like war is coming to the Middle East.

The IAEA is a frakin joke.

One week, they are asserting that the nuke threat from Iran is overblown; the next week they are asserting that Iran is far from building nukes; and lo and behold, now they are proclaiming Iran can build a nuke.

Another defunct international organization, along with the UN! =.=

Obama covered for the side he is on. Think about it....
It’s surreal.

This is the bottom line.

0bama drew the lines in the sand and lied showing which side he is on.

Is it fake that he wants peace at the UN general Assembly meeting he now will chair.....or is it a bad time to put egotistical marxist commies in charge as their ego will blind them through their power? Does 0bama really think he will buy the world a coke and drink in harmony?

Tick, tick, tick. So the muslim El Baradei has been withholding critical information and allowing Iran time to complete the nuclear cycle. To quote the Church Lady, “isnt that special?

Any wagers on how soon Israel takes out the big hammer and puts it to use? I don’t see any way they don’t if Bibi is serious about protecting his country.

I believe Iran already has it and is refining it's delivery system.

Quickly President Barry, get Israel to give up more land before Iran becomes Irate!


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Oh, I have long thought likewise.

That being said, it raises many questions as to why Israel would repeatedly let out reports that they were seeking to hit Iran’s nuclear program.

If Iran already has a nuke or nukes, hitting them will do nothing to stop Iran from building nukes since they already have them....nothing would come from it but a massive ME conflict and one step closer to nuke usage.

Dare I say...

One will try to

Nuke the other off of the face of the earth.

Jerusalem will be surrounded by armies of offense and defense. (Scratch defense 0bama is in charge)

I think a book called the Holy Bible tells us how it ends.

Maybe this is just a ploy against Israel to keep them from attacking Iran. If they waited too long, to strike now could be a nightmare.

If the AP got ahold of a secret report why didn’t the news media vet 0bama and not cover for him like they did? Left vs. Right huh? Left HAD to win even if we have an inept WW3 idiot TOTUS? Or why can’t AG Holder atleast make a statement on ACORN?

Ok...let us put a bit of physics and such in here for just a moment..

IF Iran DOES have the nuclear fuel of proper enrichment to build a bomb..I think my big question is..just how far along are they...regarding the reaction chamber, and triggering methods?/

By this—I mean—OUR first nuke weighed over 9000 lbs, and had less than 15KT of yield. Within 15 years of this—we had a 15 MEGATON H-bomb..that weighed LESS. But it took a LOT of testing and design, and the brightest minds of this nation—to make that leap—to where, by 1963 a 15KT fission bomb—with MORE power than Hiroshima could weigh LESS than 200 pounds!(The W-45 warhead).

SO..IF Iran is on the “ground floor” so to speak..then they SHOULD be messing with big, heavy, inefficient gun-type bombs—as we did in 1945—that are heavy and have little yield—compared to only a few years—and billions—later.

However...I suspect that is NOT the case. So much about the design of nukes is NOT classified anymore—and ALL of the basic components needed to put one together of small size and reasonable yield are notated in many books and or sites. Still though....without the “hard data” such as the extremely precise measurements and figures, such as boosting and neutron capture to increase burn rate before breech—which are NOT publicly posted—one could NOT build a pint-sized—powerful bomb. SO—UNLESS Iran has “gotten some help”, in the form of either test data, which would show a yield and efficiency for a particular design and no doubt some classified measurements and such, and some other advice from those “in the know’...they should NOT be able to build a small—deliverable nuke...yet. But it IS likely that they have “gotten some help” and most likely from Russia.

If so—they could, in theory..produce a thermonuclear bomb-—with at least a megaton of yield and under a ton. that would be deliverable by many missiles—and would totally devastate Israel.

WE have a VERY good reason to be worried.
