I’ll make a prediction folks:

February 11th will come and go, and the only thing we’re going to see or hear is the same big talking lies from the mouth of the little runt we’ve been dealing with for a while now, nothing is going to change, and the media will quote and regurgitate the regime’s propaganda as they always do.

But so much for 0bama, Ahmadinejad is the same asshat he’s always been and at the end of the week everyone will have forgotten about his latest babblings as well.

I sincerely hope you are right.

Prudence dictates that one consider their enemies’ intentions when considering their capabilities. 20% enrichment of uranium is a step along the way toward producing fissile material. Any weapon design that has any prayer of working will require fuel enriched much higher than 20%, as far as we know, none of us being experts on weapons design, and if we were, we certainly could not talk about it here.

In any case, there is absolutely no need for the Iranians to produce this kind of material that does not involve some sort of weapons application. The nuclear research reactor that they claim to need for producing medical isotopes is ancient, and it would be much cheaper for them to just buy those isotopes on the open market. Likewise Iran does not need nuclear power for generation of electricity, since they are sitting on trillions of cubic feet of natural gas reserves right in their own country.

An EMP attack is a possibility, again, there is that “capability” thing. Some of the missiles that Iran has been testing over the past couple of years have appeared to have been remarkably similar to what an EMP attack profile would look like. The likelihood of such an attack is anyone’s guess, and depends on too many factors to be able to pin that down definitively either.

This does not look good and it is troubling to consider where all of this is going, but there is no need to hit the bomb shelters just yet. If you have a plan, stick with it and keep on track with your own prepping. Time is your friend, so use it wisely.

That announcement didn't come from Ahmadinejad , it came from the Ayatollah Khomeini himself.

Thats what I said when this all started to surface...

What will be funny to me is that if we see a mushroom cloud over there, will it be theirs, or ours???

I hope for the latter...
