Writing in Bloomberg View on Monday, journalist Eli Lake says US President Barack Obama has known for years that Iran needed only 2-3 months to produce enough fuel for a nuclear bomb, but purposely avoided saying so publicly, stressing instead that a full year was needed for Iran to build a nuclear bomb.

Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz on Monday acknowledged that the US has known for years that Iran is just two to three months form having enough fissile material for a nuclear bomb.

When asked how long the Obama administration has known this, he responded, "Oh, quite some time. They are now, they are right now spinning, I mean enriching with 9,400 centrifuges out of their roughly 19,000. Plus all the...R&D work. If you put that together it's very, very little time to go forward. That's the 2-3 months."

Lake spoke with Brian Hale, a spokesperson of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, who confirmed that the two to three month estimate on fissile material was only declassified on April 1.

By his actions, Obama is assuring that Tehran and perhaps other cities in Iran will join Hiroshima and Nagasaki as monuments to the horrors of nuclear war.

Perhaps this will be his true legacy. That through his perfidy, laziness, and cowardliness, millions of Iranians died in horrible ways.
