Iranian President: Timetable For Nuke
2006-03-26
Brushing aside Western threats to refer Tehran to the UN Security Council over its nuclear activities, the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed that his country would soon master nuclear technology in the new Iranian year, which starts on Monday AFP reported Sunday.

Speaking during a meeting with Syria's visiting First Vice President Farouq Al Shara, President Nejad noted that "enemies intend to stop our progress by broad propaganda. But God willing, the Islamic republic will fully gain access to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in this (Iranian) year," Mr Ahmadinejad, said.
Coincidentally, this is the same time frame which the Israelis said would be when they would have their first nuclear weapons. I guess it just depends on what your definition of "peaceful" is.

#9  Will say again that the Mullahs and MadMoud are willing enough to risk mutually/world-destroying, geopol/nuclear confrontation between the US-West and Russia-China - they know both sides, espec the weak Chicoms and Russian Half-a-Commie, are not ready for limited nuke war at this time, but they Iran also know they cannot unilater stop or prevent any US-led invasion andor occupation of Iran, even iff they had [primitive]nukes. The question for Dubya and Admin is not iff the US-Allies will prevail in invading Iran only, but what will be the Russo-Chicom response afterwards, immediate or long-term.

#8  Well, the Israelis cannot let the M²s get a nuke for blackmail. And President Bush said that Iran will not be allowed to have a nuke, so I have to take them on their words. The world cannot allow the M²s to have a nuke, which will get into the hands of a proxy. Even the EUniks, whether they like it or not. We are all playing for all the marbles now.

Must be a long missle to print: "Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" on it.

Remember "Islam means peace", so any use of nukes that forwards the cause of Islam is "peaceful".

#3  After some of Saddam's leadership was able to play cat and mouse, avoiding such things, this time I would suspect we will be very sure of our targets.

#1  Ahmadinejad is confident that he will survive the year. He thinks that we will strike his missiles and naval forces first and that will give him a chance to get into a deep bunker. He is wrong. Missile and leadership targets will be struck simultaneously. There are cruise missiles with his name on them.
