Tehran's nuclear trigger: The mullahs could have the bomb any day now
The Washington Times ^ | December 15, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 12/14/2009 7:49:58 PM PST by Abakumov

A smoking-gun document has emerged that indicates Iran is closer than ever to developing a nuclear weapon. Top-secret technical notes leaked from deep within the Iranian nuclear program - and making the rounds of Western intelligence agencies - detail research on a neutron initiator, a device that sets off a nuclear detonation. It is the smoking gun's trigger.

A smoldering radioactive crater will be, perhaps, the crowing achievement of Great Leader’s foreign policy.

However, wherever, this would be a tragedy.

Better the mullahs deposed by the increasing unrestive populace.

Never fear, the zero will stop them with a strongly worded letter followed by a RESOLUTION from the UN!

You will know Iran has a nuke when you see a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv. I suspect that is their planned test site...

The day they unambiguously have the bomb is the day they unambiguously get bombed.

The mullahs have taken Iran down a long, expensive road to suicide. Islam is the great virus, and it is about to end the long history of Persia.

They really cant help themselves. They will announce they have the bomb and at the same time threaten Israel again. And then it will be over for them. This is quite good news.

I hope that is true, but I am not sure either the US or Isreal has the will anymore. I am also fairly certain that we will know Iran unambiguously has the bomb when they use it. Short of that, how much more circumstantial evidence do we need? And no one seems to be in a hurry to act.

Correct. FReepers have been talking about turning Iran into "glass" and "parking lots" for years.

I beg to differ. I believe narcissistic obama sees himself as a world socialist. (and closet fascist) obama would never do something so unilateral as send a strongly worded letter without getting permission first from the UN, Saudis, French, and an Imam.

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen.

Hey, AL! The jihadists got your warming right HERE!

...or will it be Manhattan, Hollyweird, or Las Vegas?

...or San Francisco? (Moose-limbs hate gays).

Cheers!

( Tehran's nuclear trigger: The mullahs could have the bomb any day now )

Here is the headlines we want to hear :


In other news, Israel stealthy takes out Iran's nuclear program with a successfully planed operation.( The Mullahs didn't see what was coming ) ....

OK.
One more time, I got to ask.

What are the Iranian nut jobs going to do with one bomb? Or even a half dozen?

Why the total panic?
The way that Israel has been pushed into a corner by her friends, what's the difference? One bomb or a thousand, she's toast.

In the real world, I know what the use of a sngle nuke by Iran should rpovoke.
In the current PC wussy world?

I'm not sure.

They’re going to kill millions of us, we all know that right? Iranians aren’t building this to “have one” they’re building it to “use” - on us - and on Israel.

Cindy - I believe they'll use a missile against Israel - but not against us. With us they use suicide bombers - they'll carry the nukes in by small ships - or bring over from Mexico - stashed with a a load of drugs.

Our country has NO borders.

Until our borders are secure, spending money on missile defense (to stop terrorists) is fighting last decade's 'cold war'.

When terrorists bombs arrive on our soil - some nut with small plane will fly one over New York, or Washington, Tampa, Atlanta or LA ...

Iran will pass the nukes for the United States off to suicide bombers - hoping we won't retaliate if we don't know where the bombs came from... When our country is dead in the water - they'll take out Israel.

We'll be first - they'll be second. Terrorists have patterns - Iranians are strategic, cheap and efficient.
