Iran not nuclear weapons capable for "at least a year"-Gates
Fantastic. That gives me enough time to take a trip the the Keys. This President is so purposefully off-base.
WOW! Gates doesn’t “belive it” I guess we can take that to the bank.
You have got to be kidding. A nuclear Iran will be extremely dangerous to the US and Israel. They will sell nuclear weapons to every two bit terrorist group in existence. We need to stop this insanity.
John
Why is the President of the United States protecting Iran and every other dictator?
Do we know the truth?
Are you kidding me. So our own government is recognizing that Iran “will” have a nuke in 12 months and that is supposed to be good news ??? Are you kidding ?? Iran is working on modern minature nukes…. megaton class weapons that could fit in a false leg !!! Obama has been lagging on action for 18 months ! I cant take anymore of this !!! We HAVE to get Oabama out of office !! This is surreal !!
So what?! If a country wants nukes… let them have a few. I really don’t see the big deal in it. People in the world are much nicer now that we have Obama as President. Get a clue you anarchists!
Just in time for solar maximum and 2012 — hummmmm?
They have them, they don’t have them, they have them, they don’t have them, they have them, they don’t have them, they have them, they don’t have them.
Stop the BS.
When you are sure they have them then tell us so.
Kjarr,
1. There is harm in countries having nukes, it is a ridculous statement to make.
2. The world is not friendlier. We have the same enemies as before (Iran, NK.. etc.) and now our friends hate us as well (UK, Israel.. etc.)
I do not beleive you base your views on facts and I beleive you blindly support the President. Such was the same exuberence which ushered Hitler into power.
Willful blindness is not a quality one hopes for in a Secretary of Defense. God help us.
Oh! YAY! Let’s all go to Disney World!
Good grief. So, because Obama appears to have little interest in doing what is supposed to be the #1 job of the government – protecting us – and is busy dismantling our defense system – we just sit back and wait to see if Iran has become a card carrying member of the Nukes “Club”? Um, this isn’t paper/scissors/rock, people. I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK. Obama and his little goats must go.
be scared, don’t be scared, be scared don’t be scared. Health care, no health care, GET IT YET!!!!! BAIL OUT. OK!!
Get out troops back and bomb the middle east already.
@ Kjarr – you are right it is not a big deal to us if the country is friendly, or at least rational. If Iran, which at the very least has questionable rationality, acquires nuclear weapons it will likely spark an arms race in the region which will further destabilize the region. It has only a few real allies in the region, and it will no doubt begin to act very aggressively towards its neighbors and our allies. Furthermore, Iran is one of the largest state sponsors of terror and there is every reason to believe that Iran will supply terror organizations with nuclear material. And who is nicer to us? We snub our allies, we have to make giant concessions to second rate powers like Russia, Iran is bolstered, the afghan pres is moving farther away from us, there is tension with the aussies. China US relations have become strained. What are you talking about?
John,
Who, exactly, has to stop this insanity? You? In your military uniform? I didn’t think so. Thanks for the encouragement from the sidelines, Braveheart…
I find it interesting that Gates makes this statement right on the heels of news today that Israel has warned all of its citizens to vacate the Sinai peninsula between Israel and Egypt. Israel has also distributed chem/bio protection kits to its citizens in recent days. It certainly appears that Israel is preparing for an imminent attack upon Iran’s nuke facilities.
I think that we know this, and that Gates may have been tasked with issuing a statement that downplays the immediacy of the Iranian threat in an attempt to undermine public support for an Israeli attack. He may also have made this statement in order to delegitimize any Israeli action and to thereby distance the U.S. from it.
Regardless of the reason for the statement, it has become clear that the Obama administration is in the process of throwing Israel, historically one of our closest allies, to the wolves. Obama’s behavior toward Israel has been despicable.
Hmmmm. Okay, I realize that our CURRENT “president” would have negotiated with Hitler, so that leaves them until the next presidential election to bomb us with a suitcase. Then we open up and nuke their entire country to glass and polish it out with Windex.
Unreal, one year to go and nobody cares!
WAKE UP WORLD!!!
Obama pull your head out of your lower quarters, quit kissing dictators arses and DO SOMETHING!!!
All the mental midgets that voted for our Muslim in charge, just wait for the total economic collapse when gas is $20 a gallon when the Nukes start flying in a year.
The fools have taken over this country, and won’t be able to blame Bush for the catastrophe that awaits us all!!
“…the last time we talked about it..”
Has anyone mentioned to Gates that the ‘last time we talked about’ was about a year ago? Remember the deadline – it was last December, if I remember correctly.
Let’s hope that this is all part of the cunning plan to lull the opposition into thinking that the US is run by idiots. I must admit that it is pretty convincing so far.
Nobody has figured this out yet ?

What has traditionally kept an otherwise inept president in the office? A: Major War. I don’t think it is much of a stretch to imagine that Obama is stalling on Iran. Nor is it much of a stretch to imagine O stalling the withdrawl in Iraq and Afganistan. Who’s the monkey in the middle – Iran.
BTW I don’t believe Gates, nor do I believe we have the hum-int to know whether Iran is armed or not. Gates is speculating at best.
A nuclear Iran is probably the best thing that could happen to the middle east. While the Israelis try to lie and manipulate the world into feeling sorry for them the fact remains that they have nukes. A situation of mutually assured self destruction can only bring that region closer to peace. And as to us in the USA, the best thing we could do is to sever ties with Israel and let them reap that which they have sown.
Yeah, like most of you (thank God), I feel so much better now, now that I have at least a year before I can worry about a guy who said Israel should be wiped off the map!
You know, when people say these things, repeatedly, you gotta take ‘em at their word. Foe example, Obama said he wants to “remake” America. Do you need to be told twice?
If someone in the Obama administration told me we lived on the earth and orbited the sun, I would assume I had been lied to. Hey Israel, this means you had better get ready for war because this group of clowns we have in Washington have been wrong about everything else up to this point.
WOW, now feel so much better!
Obama is just giving lip service to the rest of the world, he wants the UN to have as much power as he and Congress can give it His speech (which was a indicator of his ego) at Berlin was that he was a ‘world citizen’. What he is interested in is to ‘radically change’ the US (and he wouldn’t mind us being weakened in the process) and turn it into as much as a socialist utopia as possible.
That’s good. Now they can spend another year doing jack squat about Iran and letting them run all over the spineless Obama.
What does that mean? So another words all is well and we should just forget about them for now. Hell in that case Obama can give them ours since we don’t need them anymore according to the great one. Give Obama a chance to apologize again and show them we aren’t the Meany’s his wife said we were. Seriously we are in trouble folks you need to be prepared for anything with these nitwits running the country.
Looks like Armageddon is coming soon and Obama is definitely accelerating the process.That means the end for all the haughty arrogant politicians and their minions.
I have a plan. We simultaneously use paratroopers to take over all major Iran oil processing/pumping centers then they would risk inflicting damage on their only worthwhile assets if they attack these facilities. Then next we head to Venezuela for some of the same. I should be the U.S. president.
Kjarr.Are you actually serious??……People in the world are much nicer now with Obama in office??!!……..It’s that kind of total, childish, shallow thinking and attitude that makes the left a dangerous bunch of fools to have anywhere near the center of power!!
For all you armchair generals and war mongers, if you really want a war with Iran, go and sign up with the US military. If you are not prepared to eat shrapnel for the USA you have no right to demand anything.You frightened,lazy mommies pants.
Join the military then you can start suggesting stupidity for neanderthals. Bunch of lily livered spineless eunuchs.
hopefully israel will wipe them off the face of the earth,but don’t exspect our dumb ass president obama bin laden to do anything he is such a little girlie
i’m much happier knowing that the world leaders are actually talking again unlike under Bush. That does a lot for world cooperation when dealing with nukes. Bush screwed up our relationships so bad that some may never get back on board completely. At least we arent bombing Iran like we did Iraq when there wasn’t even any weapons of mass destruction in the first place! Rock on Obama!
to be safe; and considering the threats Iran has been making; it is insane to allow them nuclear weapons; no you dont just let people have nuclear weapons if they want them; we fought 2 world wars already; we dont need another; you use every ounce of power we have to save the lives of our young in the future; that is leadership; that is what our current administration is lacking; leadership and maturity!
Iran says they’re going the nuke club next month. Obama does not have the courage to stand up to Iran after taking a position of no nukes in Iran. Last week the Iranian leader called our president an “inexperienced amateur” and he was right. I guess the plan is let Israel take care of it and chastise them as war mongers forgetting that the Iranians have repeatedly called for Israel to wiped off the map.
Wonder if he was there for India and Pakistan’s arrival? Unleash the hounds on Iran!
That’s code for “I know…I know but what am I supposed to do about it?”
Oh thank God. We thought Iran would be nuclear in 7-9 months and in reality it could be 12-13 months………….pause……………Now the democrats can focus on this upcoming election, Obama can bow to a few more people, Michelle can plant a veggie garden in Mexico and we all can learn who Oprah really is! But most importantly and I knew this would happen. I’m a NY Jets fan and this guarantees them a Super Bowl win. Then 90 days of celebration, followed by the end of the world. Now Obama can get on an aircraft carrier and announce “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED”!
So now, President Homeslice has knowledge that Iran should be nuclear capable in about a year. That means that any mass destruction on the part of Iran after 12 months is Obama’s responsibility. That’s a lot of blood to have on your hands!
I went to the doctor and he told me I have weeks left to live so I got a second opinion and the next doctor told me I have at least a month! So I feel better because?
To the poster above me who still parrots the liberal meme that there were no WMD in Iraq, I would just point out that in 2008 550 metric TONS of yellowcake uranium were covertly shipped out of Iraq to Canada for safekeeping. That’s over 1.2 million pounds of uranium! And this after the left went ballistic, and coined the “Bush lies” phrase, after Bush mentioned that Iraq was pursuing yellowcake uranium in Niger. Apparently he wasn’t just right, he was stupendously right.
We are going to wake up one morning and find that Iran has nuked Israel. We will be responsible because of our inaction.
We are the laughing stock of the world. They are laughing at us because we are falling apart. We are doing everything we can to destroy this great country. We are no better than a third world country.
John Wolf
There were several articles about 1,800 truckloads of materials that were shipped out of Iraq to Syria just before the second war. I wonder what was in those containers? What happened to the stories? Why did the Washington Post and New York Times lose those stories?
I wonder what was in those trucks? Probably baby food.
John Wolf
Iran is incredibly dangerous. They are working on small – easily transportable devices. Watch one of them come in through Mexico and set off in New York City.
A small nuclear device above new York City would cause a magnetic pulse that would cripple our economy. They would not even have to kill anyone to destroy this country. The whiners would be the first to cast blame, even though they helped bring on our destruction.
John Wolf
… which means that Syria, Hamas and Hezballah are a year or less away from having “the bomb”.
Of course these stable characters would never strap one on …

There is a difference. Israel is using the weapons as a defense to the Muslims. Iran has already said that they will use the weapons as offensive weapons. What are we going to do when New York or Los Angeles is vaporized? When our dollar will no longer buy anything> When the welfare stops? When you can no longer buy food or fuel? When you can no longer mooch off of the rest of the people. that is the problem with liberals: What do they do when they run out of other peoples money?
John Wolf
Taking into consideration the logical targets for these nutjobs someones going to need a whole lot of acorn volunteers to make up for all the incinerated constituents.
The 1,800 truckloads of materials, while I personally believe that there was probably something to the story, is still unsubstantiated. The 550 metric tons of yellowcake, on the other hand, is a well-established fact. This is precisely why it was absolutely necessary to go into Iraq.
While Saddam’s capabilities in recent years to put his stockpile of nasty substances to use may have been exaggerated, his possession of them clearly was not. After 9/11, we simply could not take the chance that uranium, sarin gas, or some other deadly substance would end up in the hands of terrorists. The leftists will argue that Saddam was not a Jihadist, and therefore would not have given these weapons to Al Qaeda, but we have to remember that he had begun to court radical groups at that time, going so far as to allow them to train in his country and offering $25,000 payments to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. Given this behavior, it would have been the height of irresponsibility for President Bush to have gambled our national security on Saddam Hussein’s good will.
A year is such a long time maybe they can rebuild the “World Trade Center” in a year, oh sorry it has been over nine years on that one -)
And what if your wrong Gates?
Its not that the intelligence world has been that stellar over the years.
Better take care of the problem before the SA 300 batteries are in place and a risk to our forces.
1. Ahmajinedad says BHOs an “inexperienced amatuer” and threatens to detonate nuclear devices in American cities if Iran is attacked.
2. Russians just kicked us out of Kyrgyzistan, restricting our ability to re-supply our troops in Afganistan (or support air operations over Iran if necessary).
3. Chinese just did a gotcha and decided no sanctions on Iran- (they use BHO as a stalking horse in their energy supply negotiations with the Iranians and now BHO is bowing and making excuses for them.)
4. Turks refuse to support sanctions against Iran.
5. Putin taking over crash investigation of Polish President plane crash-can you spell cover-up? Weren’t we going to set up anti-missile defenses in Poland?
6. Venezuela cozys up to Russians seeking defense and nuke cooperation.
7. Iran re-supplies Syrian and Hezbollah forces with ground-to-air and ground-to-ground missiles; agrees to station troops in Syria and Lebanon.
So:
8. BHO alienates Israelis-working to undermine Nethanyahu government.
9. BHO alienates both India & Pakistan over civilian nuclear policy; India attends Iranian nuclear summit.
10. BHO announces US will unilaterally stop development of new nuclear weapons.
11. BHO declares US will not use nukes in response to Bio, Chem or other non-nuclear WMD attacks against America.
12. Iran’s foreign policy, military and political influence make gains every day as does their nuke and conventional weapons programs.
This guy is shaping up to be the 21st century reincarnation of Neville Chamberlain.
I hope you that voted for him are proud of what you have wrought.
On the bright side, if Iran nukes Washington the current administration will be gone.
Hey remember a couple years back when the CIA said that Iran wasn’t interested in getting nuclear weapons at all?
How well did that one work out?
Gates would say what he said regardless of what he knows. If U.S. does attack Iran nuke sites the U.S. would want timing of attack to be a surprise. Gates really has no business commenting unless he is practicing disinformation.
Shwoo. I’m so glad we have a year. Ha.
Funny parody of Obama’s nuke strategy: http://www.funnyconservatives.com/?p=817
Seems to me he isn’t grasping with the reality that he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know, and yet he wants to throw around opinions which if wrong ought to earn him an indictment for treason due one who gives support and comfort to the enemy.
I’m tellin’ you all. You need to read Ezekial 36-38. It is being fulfilled before your very eyes. Chapters 36-37, the Jews return to Israel from being scattered throughout the world. It is happening by the thousands every day. Ch. 38, the War of Gog and Magog (Iran and Russia). These two countries, along with Turkey (see their recent comments against Israel), Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt and a few others will attack…attack…Israel in a war that the world will watch and be amazed. We will all see God’s hand literally at work saving and protecting Israel. America? Not mentioned. No one…no one…comes to Israel’s aid, except God Himself. Just watch. The headlines are revealing what Ezekial wrote some 4000 years ago. Just watch & be amazed at the accuracy of God’s Word.
Kjarr, what you don’t realize is the Iranian rulers are fanatics and are looking for the 13th Iman to appear with the end of time. They are not rational and if they get nukes they will probably (more likely than not) use them. Either against Israel, the US or both. They don’t need rockets think of a nuke in New York Harbor or on the border between Israel and Lebanon.
kjarr says “So what?! If a country wants nukes… let them have a few. I really don’t see the big deal in it. People in the world are much nicer now that we have Obama as President. Get a clue you anarchists!”
Well… I see the link that says “Report As Abusive”, but where’s the link that says “Report as Incredible Naive and Stupid”?
Wow, does this mean we won’t be invading Iran based on cherry-picked/ fabricated information like the Iraq Invasion? What a CHANGE. We’re acting honorably, what a CHANGE. The U.S. is getting some credibility again, what a CHANGE. Go Mr. President, fix this mess too!
Isreal have the nukes… why can’t the rest of the world. They have been terrorizing thy neighbor
www.thePeoplesLink.com
What about the 4 missing nukes Bush Sr/Cheney lost in the first gulf war? What about the one they lost in 2008? Give me a break. Israel with 400 nukes and submarines is the real scary thing.

The only reason that the US is threatened is because of our continued support for Israel. Human Rights Violations, criminal activities, assassinations and more are committed by Israel against Muslim peoples every single day and the most we can do is to send a diplomatic message of please don’t do that. While they continue on their merry way knowing full well that when they finally break the camel’s back and inflame the region even more that the US, England and France will come to their rescue because we feel bad for what happened in the late ’30s. Letting Israel burn would be the best thing for the world.
There is nothing Liberal about what I am saying here, in fact sending billions of dollars in aid to Israel, every year, is far from true conservative standards. You really should study your history and see that the ONLY time that that region has been remotely peaceful was under the guidance of the Ottoman Empire. One that allowed people of all faiths to practice their religion without governmental interference. It was the liberal progressives that chopped up the region, creating these “nations” and set them under colonial rule by England and France at the end of World War I. Sir Lawrence even stated in his report to the king that no one can rule Arabs but Arabs.
Israel does not use their nukes for defense. They use it to bully everyone in the region around them while breaking every international law: Human Rights Violations and Assassinations to name but just two of the most grievous examples. Their ONLY ally in the region, Turkey, has even finally come to the conclusion that enough is enough. How long until the rest of the pseudo-conservatives in my own country finally wake up and come to the realization that tying our fate to that of Israel will sink us further than it already has?
Monty67… You are 100% right!! Is’nt it amazing to see these prophecies happening before our very own eyes! The TRUTH shall set you free! Seek and You shall find! Who would have ever thought that we would have a government that would bring so many curses to our country so fast. Especially going against Isreal and our Jewish brothers and sisters!
they have them, they don’t have them……guess what the answer is…they Will have them sooner than we tho0ught!
The intellect of our “citizens” is astonishing. “So what; let them have a few nukes”…. What idiocy! Just once can I witness the reaction of a few of these Spineless Americans living in Iran for a few months. Even the “State controlled media” here at home reported the murder of of the activist woman killed in the streets of Tehran protesting tirrany and injustice. You Libs need an all-expenses-paid vacation; one way plane ticket to a third-world country.
A WHOLE YEAR??? Whew! And this from the same government that said last year Social Security would be solvent until 2017. It ends up being broke this year.

This is clearly propaganda released to accomplish many things
1) Keep Israel from attacking Iran
2) Keep the heat off Obama for failing to get any cooperation from Russia and China.
Get the facts straight on Social Security. It is not broke! It is paying out more than it is taking in. I guess you think this is the fault of the current Administration.
Israel having Nukes doesn’t scare me. Ahmadinajead does.
anyone know who the czar is heading the bureau of wishful thinking and made up numbers?
What side to take hmmmmmmmmmmm seems like there are many tea baggers/birthers here.
State controlled media please….. I suppose that you think that Fox News is the truth.
I say let Israel attack Iran but they better do it quick they probably don’t have a year. There is no sense talking with a group of people who will not be satisified until you are dead.
yeah right…..
Iran likes to pretend all sorts of things in order to gain attention. Iran does nothave the ability to develop nuclear weapons. “In theory” they might, but in reality they can’t do it.
This is why the Obama administration doesn’t act more urgently. They know the threat isn’t credible YET…So they have to appear concerned but still move for diplomatic measures.
If Iran could really field a nuclear weapon, Israel would have already taken them out.
China tells obummer to shove it on sanctions….the same day Gates says Iran’s nukes are no problem. In the words of out VICE president, this is a big f ing deal. 2010 and 2012 can’t come soon enough. Hope we make it.
So what? If a few countries want nukes…dude you didn’t have to say anything after that in your comment, that proved your ignorance right there. nuff said. Left wing people are so STUPID.
“The four hundred nukes Israel has is the real scary thing”. Freak, do you expect us to believe that have all this time to use them against us and haven’t that they will now? Freak, do you really NOT believe that AhthinkI’mGod from Iran won’t use them to incinerate you and your mother, and your children, and your neighbors..what a living left wing lunatic you are.
Bull scheiss.
The US did it in 45, russia several years later, and the little country of Israel did it in the 60’s.
Iran has thousands of ever expanding modern cetrifuges for years working around the clock.
building a bomb that works isn’t that hard.
Building small enough to fit onto their delivery systems, that’s probably the only holdup.
And Gates says 1 year like it’s a long time. So if a country the size of Iran with plenty of resources doubles their efforts, 6 months. Or if the quadruple their effort 3 months.
Or if the multipy their effort by 40 times, next week. 1 year is not comforting.
I believe that Iran has already developed nuclear weapons. China and North Korea has been helping them all along. They are probably developing smaller devices that can be carried into Israel and the United States.
It is just a matter of time until the terrorists detonate a bomb here. Then Obama will declare an emergency and stop elections. We will be locked into the socialists democracy.
Two comments:
1. Isn’t this the same SecDef who provided DIA intel to the CIA when they told us Iran had stopped working on nukes years ago? (Yes.)
2. Give Iran some nukes. We have alot of testing to catch-up on. Test some on Qom and Arak.
How to solve the problem, prevent Israel nuking Iran, not perform any American above-ground nuclear testing on Qom, and fix many of the problems in the mideast … all at the same time.
Give Saudi Sunni Arabs a nuke – just ONE.
Guaranteed they’ll use it on Shia Persians. Solve the whole mess.
All of you who do not like Israel! Do you think that Israel would survive without nuclear weapons. The Palestine people continue to fire rockets into Israel every day. They send their children into Israel as suicide bombers. Do you really believe that someone who blow their children up would not use nuclear weapons.
I am amazed that the terrorists have not used a nuclear weapon yet.
It is really a shame that we have supported the young people in Iran. They want their government to stop being terrorists, but our president did not come to their aide.
Hey Liberals: Global Warming is a scam. Tax and cap is just a tax. We are about to become a third world country.
Gee thanks – you have destroyed the greatest country in the world.
Weren’t we playing this same game two years ago when the UN said Iran wasn’t ready with their nukes and all of a sudden a year later they were? Is this the little Gates crying ‘Wolf’? This is just another game being brought to you by Obama and Company.
While the Defense Secretary may not “believe” that Iran can be nuke-capable in months, the quoted statement should have been followed up by the reporter. I’d really like to know if the “year” was meant to state how long until Iran was potentially nuke-capable, or that it had been that long since “the last time [we] talked about it.”
Thats sounds like 100yrs.Oh..we could now have a party.Seems that Gates is sounding excited about this good news.
WHERE’S THE PEACE???
DEATH CULT MORE LIKE IT,,,
the non-muslims need to remember what it was like under fascist nazi germany,,,
cuz fascist nazi terrorislam will be worse,,,
the UN should charge muslims with inciting hatred and discrimination against non-muslims,,, and crimes against humanity,,,
ummmm when will islam ban slavery??? when will islam pay reparations for 1400 years of slavery and stealing non-muslim land???
non-muslims need to demand reparations through the UN from the muslim slavers,,,
there is only peace for a muslim when the muslims are in control and the non-muslims are second class citizens/slaves,,,
islamic apartheid,,,
The Evils of Islamic Political Ideology: Oppression of non-Muslims
terrorislam wants peace,,, a piece of your country that is,,,
and another piece,,, and another piece,,, and another piece,,,
until they have the world,,,
they are always going into some country and then saying they want another terrorislamic state,,,
stop them now before it is too late,,,
GREAT,,,,
one year till the end of the world,,,
i guess we should all quit our jobs and party,,,
or build a nuke shelter,,,
Obama cant deal with Iran so he plays musical chairs with other leaders like himself. Quite an admiration club. Its all hot air in a touchy feely circus. The middle east is going to blow up and Iran will be in the middle of it.
Gates doesn’t know… either.
So most of you dumb mass nuts believe that we should go BOMB BOMB IRAN and start another war in middle east to stop Iran. You have any idea what will happen to all other countries and the price of oil. Iraq war will look like a small skirmish like a two day war compare to going to war with Iran. The simple answer is Israel should get rid of its nuclear weapons to keep the middle east nuclear free.
Given that we’re officially a banana republic from the standpoint of our dismal economic condition, two-class social system, and the MSM propagandizing about how we’re the richest country in the world (when in fact we’re the leading debtor nation), why don’t we just make General Gates our President and admit what we’ve become?
Russia has Nuclear weapons to offset against US Nuclear weapons. China has Nuclear weapons to offset against US and Russia nuclear weapons. India has Nuclear weapons to offset against China’s Nuclear weapons. Pakistan has nuclear weapons to offset against India weapons. Israel has Nuclear Weapons to make threats against all it’s neighbors and Iran. So now Iran is building Nuclear weapons to offset against Israel. Which Israel actually does not need Nuclear weapons as USA will defend Israel in all cases anyway. Because the congress of USA is completely owned and paid by Israelis and the whole world knows that. Other wise we would not be sending 3 million dollars a day to Israel while borrowing from China to send aid to Israel. I hope all the tea baggers know that we borrow money from our kids future to give weapons aid of millions to Israel.
But, But, But… they only want nukes for peaceful stuff like power and to ukingnay Israelway. It is their right to hreatentay eacepay inway hetay iddlemay eastway.
(Pig latin used to confuse liberals and those who don’t subscribe to anything pork in it.)
Go Iran!
Twelve months, wow!! Well, at least that gives us time to get our personal affairs in order. But the good thing is that Canada, Mexico and Chile have committed to improving their storage of fissionable material. We’ve been sitting by watching this happen for how many years now?? We took the same approach with Iran that we took with China. China now has nukes and a missile delivery system. Why are we surprised that Iran is getting them too?
Hmmm, the president of Iran has frequently warned that he wants to “wipe Israel off of the map” and our current defense secretary shrugs this off as, “well, they won’t have nukes for a year?”
How comforting.
Next question… since we’ve been wasting the last 15 months “threatening” sanctions against Iran, even though Chinese and Russian support have been wavering, at best (and they have veto power in the UN), at what point does this administration realize that we’ve been getting the proverbial “middle finger” and decide to take real action?
Or are we just going to sit on the sidelines and let Israel do our dirty work for us?
If Iran gets nuclear weapons, an arms race will spiral out of control within the Middle East. Is there anyone out there that thinks this is a good thing?

The simple answer is Israel should get rid of its nuclear weapons to keep the middle east nuclear free.”
And apparently you actually believe, tony-boy that if Israel gets rid of it’s nukes, everything will be okay? A suggestion for you. Try reading some history, you know – it’s in those things called books. Look up the events leading up to the War of 1812. More recently, look up the events leading to WWII. You sir, and I use that word very loosely, are a complete idiot.
The Nuclear Serenity Summitt didn’t help sooth me much…
Last night on FOX, they showed an interview between an Iraq official and a reporter with a hijab on. The Iranian offical told her that sanctions would only make them angry, making it harder to obtain what they need and that if America attacks Iran in any way, the entire Middle East will be on fire.
Who cares? They will not stop until the entire world is under sharia law, that is their goal and that is UNACCEPTABLE to westerners who enjoy FREEDOM.
we need to stop the islamization of the globe. There is no freedom nor prosperity allowed in Islam so it is not compatible with western civilization. Islamists know this and are working overtime through groups like CAIR to islamize the globe on time for the arrival of the 12th imam, after they cover the world with the blood of infidels..
stop islamization NOW!
Obama is disarming America and dragging his feet to give Iran time to get a nuke. He must be tried for treason.
The “Estimates” our State Department and Alphabet agencies have and continue to make about Iran’s nuclear progress are useless.
Iran is the only UN Member nation that has threatened to wipe another member nation off the face of the earth, and the UN has ignored the truth.
The UN in all its facets is an horrendous waste and we cannot rely upon it for anything.
Because the MSM clearly lied to and deceived the American public during our election we had what was a faked election by means of MSM’s overt cheerleading and promoting their academic elitist Obama sugar daddy. As a former Democrat I would support the first ever military removal of a president of the United States, because this Obama fellow has NOT BEEN VETTED and he shows NO ABILITY to deal with armed assailants! He’s NOT had to go through the normal rigors of American Presidentual politics. He is hiding far too much of his past (all of that which he doesn’t want us to see), which means he is lying by omission to us every single day. This fact is entirely the fault of the MSM across the world. The Brits are improving a little, so we congratulate them.
Obama is the proverbial little rich kid with a silver spoon in his mouth, NEVER having had to stand up on his own. America cannot allow this academically blinded narcissistic fool to Endanger The Safety not only the American people but the Safety of the People of The Entire World, unless we are to accept total devolution of humanity down to the totalitarian regimes of what we like to call “olden times”: tenth century regimes like Obama’s laughing friends have in Iran. Obama is becoming to be seen as entirely unfit, entirely unable to see actual reality.
The failure of the British to remove and replace Chamberlain who walked us all into WWII should be instructive enough. WWII was a little neighborhood spat compared to what is possible today. Maybe that’s what Obama’s enviro-green allies want: a war which could kill most of Humanity on earth.
Several comments were made above that concern me greatly. People are suggesting that the Muslims hate us because we support Israel. I suggest that you are naive. Even if we abandon Israel, they would still hate us. They hate us not because of what we have done “wrong,” but because of what we have done “right.”

“…that could fit in a false leg…”
Hardly. Have you done the maths? A nuclear weapon might only-just fit according to the VOLUME of a false leg; IF they can get their nuclear technology more advanced than the USA and the Soviet Union did in 50 years… But do you know how heavy that “false leg” would be?
From Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_mass
“The critical mass for lower-grade uranium depends strongly on the grade: with 20% U-235 it is over 400 kg; with 15% U-235, it is well over 600 kg.”
Plutonium and uranium are each denser than lead! I’d love to see someone trying to smuggle that false leg onto an aircraft on their person. It would take four strong men just to push a WHEELCHAIR with someone wearing such a false leg. Don’t you think that would look suspicious?
Oh, and uranium/plutonium are both METALS. Plutonium is apparently quite electrically conductive…

So it would almost certainly set off the standard old-fashioned airport metal detectors.
It must be embarrasing to the truther/birther nutcases tht China has agreed to help in getting sanctions against Iran. Now if we could only prove that Iran is developing nukes, that would be great. At l

Mot only was Obama not born in the US. It is now likely he never graduated from Columbia University. They just announced he was never a Law School Professor, much less an expert on Constitutional Law.
How come he and his wife are not currently on the rolls of practicing attorneys in Illinois?
What else is fraudulent about Obama?
John Wolf
Obama could clear up the question of birth in a five (5) minute phone call.
If Iran develops a small nuclear device, they would not bring it through a commercial airport. They would smuggle it through the Mexican border and drive it to New York City or Los Angeles in a car.
>>Lupae: My remarks were directed at a previous posting, in which someone claimed a nuclear device was being developed that would fit into a false leg. Why conceal a nuclear device in a false leg and then drive it in a vehicle? It seems they were thinking about airport security themselves.
But let’s think about a car, since you have suggested it. 400-600kg of uranium… You’d need a very beefy car to carry it. Not your average Fiat 500, or VW Beetle. You’ve got 400-600kg of uranium or 200kg plutonium. Then you’ve got the detonation equipment, neutron-reflector and lead-shielding. All in all, a viable nuclear bomb takes at least a tonne. So you’re looking at either a large van with specially enhanced suspension, or else, a semi truck; or a container in a container vessel.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_Security_Initiative
So, my original point – not suitable at all for a false leg. Hardly suitable for a car. Possibly suitable for a large van. Definitely feasible with a large truck. Depends on technology. With Iran’s level of technical development, they’re unlikely to be able to develop anything smaller than a large truck bomb or shipment container in the next five to ten years.
Don’t forget, Mexico is hardly going to want to make themselves the number-1 enemy of the USA by helping anyone do such a thing.
OK, they will just haul the bomb in a pickup or van. Put a company logo on the side and no one will notice it.
My point, we now live in a very dangerous world. I am hoping that my grandchildren will know peace.
Should just nuke them all and get it over with. I have no particular good feelings about Israel. Don’t know why we’re still sending them money when we don’t have any. Seems to me that they’re pushing some Palestinian buttons and they should reap what they sow. Without getting us invovled, that is.
And I really don’t know what some people expect this country to do right now. We must at least TRY to be diplomatic about these things. Some of you must underestimate the power of a nuclear missile and the number of people at risk if we don’t try talking first.
Also, I found that comment about the US planning missle defenses in Poland, and now Russia’s investigation into their president’s death, interesting.
Having spoken to a customer of mine, who works for the FBI and has encountered these terrorists, it seems that nuking them off the face of the planet isn’t a bad idea after all. As a matter of fact, he agrees. These people do not care about us. Their Book tells them to ambush and kill those that will not convert.; that is exactly what their plan is. There is no stopping them or showing them peace. Much like a rabid dog, there is no reasoning with these Islamic radicals. Just gotta put ‘em down.
“Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say ‘what should be the reward of such sacrifices?’ Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!”

When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.
Benjamin Franklin
Outside Independence Hall when the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended, Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.”
when was the last time a muslim kept their word to a non-muslim???
NEVER
ding ding ding
you are correct,,,
“11. BHO declares US will not use nukes in response to Bio, Chem or other non-nuclear WMD attacks against America.”
I think that is great ! The fanatics do not have a brief from Allah to drop or set off nukes everyhwere, the fallout will land in the jet stream and eventually kill themselves, nowhere does the Koran talk about Mass Suicides.
If they really wanted one, they would just buy one or get one as a gift for Ishtar from their friends.
