| Handwringers: Iran's nuke plans may be unstoppable | |
| 2004-08-30 | |
| via USATODAY - Special Whine Editions - EFL By Barbara Slavin The core of President Bush's foreign and national security policy is that he will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to acquire the world's most dangerous weapons. But Iran, a charter member of Bush's "axis of evil," is believed to be only one to three years away from being able to make nuclear weapons, and a growing number of nuclear experts worry that there may be no way to stop it from becoming the world's 10th nuclear weapons state. "We can't stop Iran from developing the technology and reaching the breakout point," says Anthony Cordesman, a military expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank in Washington.

| #5 Man...I'd love to be a fly on the wall, in the knesset; when Iran test detonates they're first yield! Just to count the pails brought in!! Several times in the past Israeli politicans and legislators have felt profoundly threatened by events in the Arab world. Closing the Straits of Tiran. Attacks from the Golan Heights. Movement of an Iraqi brigade through Jordan. Guess what happened each time? Think about it, smn: unlike the looney Left, the Israelis have balls. |

| #4 This all works off the assumption that nuclear weapons are the end-all, be-all of weaponry. I wonder what will be going through the minds of the Mullahs when they launch half a dozen missiles at the same time, and EVERY DAMN ONE of them destructs a few hundred feet after launch? And what will the Iranian people do, after every single broadcast heard in the country, overwhelming their local broadcasts, tell them that their leaders just tried to start a nuclear war with the US? As in "Grab a pole and put a mullahs head on it!" |
