Secret Report: Iran will Have Nuclear Bomb This Year
INN.com ^ | 1/25/2010 | Malkah Fleisher

A secret intelligence dossier currently being reviewed by US, Israeli, German, and Austrian governments reveals secret Iranian tests and hierarchies of power dedicated to the successful development of a nuclear bomb, and predicts that Iran will have a primitive nuclear bomb by year's end.

According to the classified document featured in an exposé by Germany's Der Spiegel magazine, Iran is well on its way toward obtaining its first nuclear bomb. The country's nuclear research program, it turns out, has a military wing answering to the Defense Ministry which the West was not aware of until now.

Der Spiegel explained the structure of Iranian nuclear establishment at length. Iran's new Minister of Science, Research, and Technology, Kamran Daneshjoo, 52, is in charge of the country's nuclear energy agency. A close ally of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Daneshjoo was educated in Manchester, England. He worked for some time at Tehran's "Center for Aviation Technology", which later developed into FEDAT, the "Department for Expanded High-Technology Applications". FEDAT ultimately became what the German paper calls "the secret heart of Iran's nuclear weapons program", answering directly to the Defense Ministry.

FEDAT is currently run by Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, 48, a professor at Tehran's Imam Hussein University and officer in the Revolutionary Guard. Western intelligence agencies say FEDAT and the Ministry of Science are working together to create the bomb. They also believe that a primitive nuclear weapon the size of a truck will be completed this year.

Suggestion: Build 50 more Jericho ICBMs, but without nuclear warheads. Install Depleted uranium or tungsten penetrators in their place. Use these to take out hardened nuke sites and air defense. Follow up 30 minutes later by attack using F-16Is, F-15Is, and escorted by F-15s. Repeat when fallout lifts.

Sadly, tragically, its going to take a nuclear Iran either holding the persian gulf/Straits of Hormuz hostage. Outright attacking and invading someone over there with the knowledge that no one will do anything about it. Nuking or attempting to nuke Israel or giving a bomb to a terror group who then uses it before the world and more importantly the American Voters realize that electing Bambi was the worst possible thing they could have done.

“’It’s 1938, and Iran Is Germany’
Israel’s Patience with Tehran Wearing Thin”

By Dieter Bednarz, Erich Follath and Christoph Schult

SNIPPET: “Intelligence reports about a restructuring in the Iranian Defense Ministry are no less alarming. According to those reports, a “Department for Expanded High-Technology Applications” (FEDAT) is now under great pressure from the government in Tehran to push ahead with a military nuclear program. According to an organizational chart of FEDAT that SPIEGEL has obtained, the department is divided into sub-departments for uranium mining, enrichment, metallurgy, neutrons, highly explosive material and fuel supply (”Project 111”). FEDAT is headed by the mysterious Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi, one of the key officials the IAEA wants to interview, although Mahabadi has so far refused to talk to the agency.”

SNIPPET: “But Iran currently favors threatening gestures over compromises of any sort.”

“Leaked memo identifies man at head of Iran’s nuclear programme”
Catherine Philp, Diplomatic Correspondent

SNIPPET: “Mr Fakhrizadeh, a physics professor and a former officer in the elite Revolutionary Guard, is no longer able to leave Iran because the UN Security Council imposed travel sanctions and an assets freeze on him. However, he is regarded as one of the regime’s most loyal servants.”

SNIPPET: “The memo from Mr Fakhrizadeh, dated December 29, 2005, is addressed to the heads of 12 different departments that make up Fedat. Experts say that the grouping together of all these disciplines under a single military command points to nothing other than a weapons programme.”

This can’t be.

The CIA released a report stating that Iran was at least 10 years away from getting the bomb cutting Bush off at the knees while he was attempting to build support to do something about it.

These people will have blood on their hands.

Hey Mischief Tour,
Seem to me American Jews overwhelmingly voted for this marxist p.o.s. who is throwing Israel under the bus.
Fact is a large majority of American Jews would vote for him today and will in 2012.
