You Knew This Was Coming

With the UN, the IAEA, and the EU on the case, you knew that this was bound to happen.

This happens to be the continuing indications that the mullahs in Iran have gotten way too close to the product and are readily advancing on killing far more brain cells than they are in possession of.

Iran confirmed for the first time Monday that it converted 37 tons of raw uranium into gas, a key step ahead of enrichment, before it suspended all such activities in November under international pressure.


That's right folks. If you believe the international observers, you would be wishfully thinking that the Iranians weren't busy trying to make enriched uranium for their nuclear weapons program. Meanwhile, the Iranians are going full steam ahead with the program, because they know that the only country that has any ability to force Iran to stop can be kept busy in the halls of Turtle Bay, and in the fields of Iraq. Iran knows that the US is busy with all kinds of military committments and there are no other countries willing to do the heavy lifting to stop the mullahs. So, the Iranians proceed at full speed.

The article claims that if the enrichment continues, the Iranians would have more than enough uranium to make five crude nuclear weapons.

All it takes is one nuclear weapon in the hands of a terrorist to ruin the day of an entire city (or country), not to mention the global economy, and the lives of millions to come.

Meanwhile, the international observers and pundits wring their hands and complain that the US isn't bending over backwards to meet the Iranians halfway on their demands, etc.
