...Three stages are involved in the evolution of a military nuclear capability: a delivery system, a capacity to enrich uranium and the production of nuclear warheads. Iran has been augmenting the range and number of its missile systems since at least 2006. Its enrichment capacity long underreported to the International Atomic Energy Agency has been expanded to thousands of centrifuges (the instruments that enrich uranium to bomb-grade material). The level exceeds any reasonable definition of peaceful uses authorized by the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The inevitable culmination is a nuclear weapon.
To draw the line at proscribing an Iranian nuclear weapon as some argue would prove unmanageable. Once the requisite amount of fissile material has been produced, constructing and equipping a warhead is a relatively short and technologically straightforward process, almost certainly impossible to detect in a timely fashion.
If so ineffectual a red line were to emerge from a decade of diplomacy by the permanent members of the Security Council, the result would be an essentially uncontrollable military nuclear proliferation throughout a region roiled by revolution and sectarian blood-feuds.

An important, profoundly distressing article.
Kissinger tells Barry that he's got one last shot at stopping Iran, and the clock's ticking.
But Henry doesn't really expect feckless Barry to do anything.
Henry? I’m certain he will do to whatever Iranian-born Valerie Jarret tells him to.
Funny that Henry’s speaking out so stridently now. Does he know what Obama is about?
PS. Don’t forget to freep that poll on the side, asking readers whether or not they support Obamacare.
0bma is 0bama’s immediate priority.
good luck with that
76% support ObamaCare?
Why is the lesson of 9/11 lost on so many?
They don't need a missle, Henry! All they need is an airliner and a pilot willing to die for Allah!
Idiots!
Obama’s only priority is looking in the mirror and smoking weed/golfing.
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

Burry and Putin are both doing as much as they can to make sure Hackalougie gets the bomb!
He is not interested in stopping them. I am thinking he thinks a nuclear Iran is a good thing. Or else his minders do.
