| Iran can produce nuclear bomb by 2005 IDF |
| 2003-08-05 |
| With the LA Times report (registration required)and Israeli confirmation, we’re starting to get some triangulation on the Iranian nukes. This leaves less than a year to axe the ayatollahs. I’m an independent conservative, but I’m starting to lose my patience with the Democrats who are undermining the war for a few votes. This is way beyond the realm of partisan politics. Iran will have the materials needed to make a nuclear bomb by 2004 and will have an operative nuclear weapons program by 2005, a high-ranking military officer told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday.

| #7 Will the Isreali bombers fly through Iraqi, Saudi, or Turkish airspace on their trip to Iran? Will they get covert midair refueling assistance along the way? Who could fault Isreal this go around after Rafsanjani's threats. |

| #6 All things considered, a dreadful accident at the Iranian test site as they are preparing for the first test would be convenient... said accident helped along by a spare fission core. |

| #4 Here's a Yahoo link containing some portion (All? - I don't DO newspaper website reg's) of the story text - No Reg Req'd! http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20030804/wl_nm/iran_nuclear_report_dc_2 So why hasn't there been a bigger stink about their progress from Dubya? Surely the US intel community knows more about this than the El Lay Times. Is this a Predator job? Followed up by a TLAM strike? Followed up with armed support for the real revolution to throw the Black Hats back into the basement - which is more than they deserve for their corruption and repression? Soon. Wery Wery Soon, now... Hunting Iwanian wabbits. |

| #3 "Nuke 'em!" as Rafsanjani said here, on the Very Un-Official Iran Press Service. I'll bet the Black Hats really hate these guys for translating and storing their diatribes... http://www.iran-press-service.com/articles_2001/dec_2001/rafsanjani_nuke_threats_141201.htm |

| #2 Of course, the Shah wasn't planning to drop a nuke on Israeal the instant he got one. The ayatollahs, in contrast, thing they're being personally commanded by Well okay that last one has possibilities, but ... |

| #1 ...FWIW, I trained with quite a few guys from the old Imperial Iranian AF in the late 70s. If they were any indication, just getting rid of the ayatollahs is not going to get rid of the bombs - the only way to do it is to level anything even remotely connected with a nuke project and make sure they understand that we will not allow them to rebuild them. Even the Shah - who was thoroughly bought and paid for - was pursuing a nuke project. That provided the basis for the current one over there. Mike |
