#2 The Bushehr plant (how come the leftists don't make fun of its name) has been in construction for 40 years. I doubt the Russians think its going to work very well and they are already planning all kinds of service contracts to sell Iran for 2009, 2010, etc.

#5 this sounds like misdirection so that the 'let diplomacy have time' crowd can dither longer. and to push any 'need' for action out past where bush needs to worry about it so he can be painted as a warmonger if he call for any action.

#6 It's somehow biblical that Aquavelvajad is hell-bent on building a nuclear facility in an active earthquake zone. Paging Mr. DeMille ...

#7 "Even if Russia delivered the first shipment of nuclear fuel to Bushehr tomorrow, it would be impossible to launch the station within six months."

Yes, but I know of something else that can launch within six months!

#9 Iran's nucprog has North Korea's and vice versa. In addition, amongst others Taiwan seems hell-bent on proceeding wid its moves towards de facto independence and sovereignty from the PRC. IOW, MULTI-FRONT WAR/CONFRONTATION. The history of the Israeli Govt. + IDF is that they will act unilateraly iff need be vv the mid-2009 maxima timeline agz Iran's nukies.
