Weapons grade Uranium!! So easy a cave man could do it.

[SolidWood]

Oh sheesh! With hundreds of Ex-Soviet scientists and help from the Pakistani and North Korean nuke-proliferators, getting the data to make a bomb is probably the easiest part!

Where is Captian Obvious!?

[Jacob Morgan]

Don't worry, if Obama can talk the Olympic Committee into giving Chicago the 2012 Olympics,then surely he can talk Iran out of making a bomb. Oh, wait...

[Vaquero]

the knowledge of how to take weapons grade fissionable material and making it go boom has been out there for decades...the trick is the making or obtaining the fissionable materials.....

Now there’s a shocker!

[BigBobber]

Two years ago, American intelligence agencies published a detailed report concluding that Tehran halted its efforts to design a nuclear weapon in 2003.

[snip]

A senior American official said last week that the United States was now re-evaluating its 2007 conclusions.

Ha! Like anyone believed the "American intelligence agencies" who were just trying to undermine Bush.

[apillar]

Well it IS 70 year old technology, how hard can it be?

“A senior American official said last week that the United States was now re-evaluating its 2007 conclusions.”

- getting in line with the Europeans for one last diplomatic push before Israel pulls the trigger?

[Tzimisce]

And what is the news here? That the left is starting to realize it might have a problem...or...?

[cdnerds]

I would assume they do, you can get the plans for an atomic bomb on the internet. I wouldn't think this is news, unless they actually have a bomb.

[DBrow]

Information is one thing, engineering experience is another.

The USA built three bombs starting from basic principles in a few years of concentrated effort, it was the engineering, not the science, that held things up.

Leo Szillard saw a bomb within an hour of his learning of the discovery of the neutron. It was quite a while before someone turned the concept into Trinity, the biggest problem being hydrodynamics.

They’ll need to solve problems like “how do I machine a toxic pyrophoric metal that may go critical if I allow too much neutron reflectors near it” and “just how sensitive must the primary be” and things like that.

[DBrow]

I just had a thought, maybe the commission just read the list of what Hazel O’Leary declassified?

[EGPWS]

Senior staff members of the United Nations nuclear agency have concluded in a confidential analysis that Iran has acquired “sufficient information to be able to design and produce a workable” atom bomb.

So?

We have the Messiah to talk them into submission.

The battle of the titans.

[Cheerio]

Hussein has already accepted a nuclear Iran - he is keeping that as yet another surprise for us.

[Tzimisce]

Iran is at least 10 YEARS away from making a bomb so don’t worry about it.

-liberal talking points 2007

[TomasUSMC]

Hang the traitors who put that report out.

[2harddrive]

Takes more than “data” to make a nuke bomb.

[stephenjohnbanker]

This, of course, calls for more “talks”.

[Aglooka]

“Report says Iran will have A-bomb sometime after next Tuesday.”

“Report says Iran has data to make cupcakes and brownies.”

Enough already. If anyone was serious about stopping Iran we’d have seen an air campaign by now.
