‘Uranium For Iran Nuke In 2009′

Iran will have enough enriched uranium to make a single nuclear weapon later this year, the prestigious International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) predicts.
The think tank’s Mark Fitzpatrick made the announcement at today’s launch of its annual global review of military powers.
“But being able to enrich uranium is not the same as having a nuclear weapon.”
However, the survey reports doubts over US Intelligence estimates that Iran halted its work on nuclear weapons six years ago.
This points to Tehran’s continued development of long-range ballistic missiles able to reach targets in Israel and beyond.
The IISS recommends a mixture of carrot and stick as the best international response.

Iran having enriched uranium is not a problem. Iran having a nuclear bomb is again, not a problem. The truth is self-evident in that if we were to actually GIVE IRAN a nuclear bomb today they would not be so stupid as to set it off knowing that to do so would be utter suicide.
The bigger problem is that the U.S.A. has nuclear weapons AND engages in false flag operations such as 9/11 for reasons of profit and control. They want the profit of stolen oil and they want the control of the Afghanistan opium fields.
What is Iran, a puny nothing of a country – even WITH a nuclear bomb – compared to a tyrannical, lying, murdering nation of the dishonorable that is the United States government. The United States government as it now exists, underneath the liars in the CIA, FBI, and Pentagon, is the greater threat. That truth is evident in OUR current actions.

GET THE WORD OUT…I will continue to post this as long as they are beating the Iran War drum.
From the horse’s mouth (the Office of the Director of National Intelligence), Iran has NO NUKES. See page 6 AND 7. Send this to all your friends, it is imperative that we spread this info before another “WMD” invasion of a takes place. Educate the masses, we cannot afford another war, approximately $255 million per day, $1.8 billion a week, not to mention the death toll.

Excerpts…
We assess with moderate confidence Tehran had not restarted its nuclear weapons
program as of mid-2007, but we do not know whether it currently intends to develop
nuclear weapons.
We assess with moderate confidence Tehran had not restarted its nuclear weapons
program as of mid-2007, but we do not know whether it currently intends to develop
nuclear weapons.
We continue to assess with moderate-to-high confidence that Iran does not currently
have a nuclear weapon.
We judge with moderate confidence that the earliest possible date Iran would be
technically capable of producing enough HEU for a weapon is late 2009, but that this
is very unlikely.
We judge with moderate confidence Iran probably would be technically capable of
producing enough HEU for a weapon sometime during the 2010-2015 time frame.
(INR judges Iran is unlikely to achieve this capability before 2013 because of
foreseeable technical and programmatic problems.) All agencies recognize the
possibility that this capability may not be attained until after 2015.
We judge with high confidence that Iran will not be technically capable of producing
and reprocessing enough plutonium for a weapon before about 2015.

Notice how at the end of your post it’s talking about plutonium and the entire article itself is about uranium. I find it funny that Iran want to take Israel off the map and thats ok with everyone. Israel is evil for attacking Hamas after a year of rocket attacks and they’re the bad guys, but anyone who want to take out Israel is fine. They only made their long range missles with enough distance to reach Israel.

It’s 3 years of Hamas missile attacks and OVER 10,000 missiles in the past 5 years from
BOTH Hamas and Fatah!
ALSO, Muslim Riots, Muslim suicide bombers, Muslim fire-bomb and rock attackers at cars
and people, Muslim rifle attacks on Israeli Citizens, etc. etc. etc!

Sorry Jew apologists. When you stop oppressing people and treating them like caged monkeys, then you’ll have a right to expect civilized behavior, but you don’t get that because you act like your own oppressors, the Nazis. Hamas doesn’t have USA’s military industry supplying them weapons and giving blank checks. Good luck trying to find sympathy.

If you have any idea what Gaza was like when the Arabs got it and how they have destroyed it. If it resembles a “concentration camp” it is thanks to Fatah and Hamas. How much money they get, and how much aid they get… you guys are smart – who do you think is taking all that money and food???
Does it surprise you that the leader are gouging from their people (isn’t that the nature of being a leader) – taking and taking and then crying “We have nothing”.
How can Israel openly have their borders open? Their neighbors (Fatah/Hamas/Iran) doctrine is to destroy them. It has a right to protect their people, right?
To raise another question – if people (Iran) really care about the Arabs in Gaza – why don’t they smuggle in food and medical supplies? Think about that? You cannot eat bullets or RPG’s.
Yes, your right – it is sad and unfortunate that the borders are closed and that good people suffer at the hands of their enemy (and their government). It is a difficult situation – no doubt about it.

Ummm, Iran sent an aid ship and guess what, it was blocked. Iran isn’t a neighbor, look at a map. They don’t openly want to destroy Israel that is Western News take on the issue, makes good ideology. Syria, Lebanon, Jordon, and Egypt are Israel’s neighbors. Each has had land stolen by them, Egypt fought a second war and regained Sinai, but government is corrupt. The Hamas was elected to power by a USA back initiative, only to have its results rejected. They then supported Fatah, a US, puppet and all the money went into his pockets. They are not just borders closed like at most international borders. They are huge concrete barriers with machine gun nests, and soldier blocks that stop every non jew and harass the snot out of them. There is no food because they bombed everything in Gaza and the aid, water, and electricity is controlled by Israel and is shut off when the Gazans don’t bow to their will, which (Jew’s will) is their gradual distruction. They will put settlements on top of them until there isn’t a Palestinian left. It is obvious you have an opinion, but you never or will even try to live a day in the Palestinian’s shoes… You are just another jew apologist who that covers what the whole world is against.

Let’s look at the body count. Israel’s winning hands down. It’s called asymmetric warfare, the Muslims fighting the only war they can. But when a Gazan father sees his kids blown to bits, after he and his family have been living like dogs because of the US-backed Israeli-controlled apartheid, what is supposed to do? “Oh, it’s ok, it’s not like my 3 kids, and all the others, matter.” What would you do in his shoes?

ALL COUNTRIES WANT NUKES WHETHER THEY ADMIT IT OR NOT. IT’S THE ONLY COUNTERTHREAT AGAINST INVASION BY THE US.

Although the report states that Iran will have enough uranium by the end of the year, what the report fails to state is that the uranium will be low enriched and would then need to be highly enriched!
Time and time again the key facts are not mentioned in order to sex up a case and spread fear!

Iran has low uranium at about 3-8% enriched as is seen by the Watchdogs
All of Iran’s Atomic sites have camera’s and seals, they also have people that stand around an or vist each site all the time.
The Watchdogs have reported many times Iran has about 15 000 centerfuges and to
start on High enriched uranium 95-98%, Iran will need 50 000 – 80 000 centerfuges.
#1 Iran has the Watchdogs 24/7 watching their every move
#2 Iran does NOT have the centerfuges that are needed to start High enriched uranium
*Quotes*
INR judges Iran is unlikely to achieve this capability before 2013 because of
foreseeable technical and programmatic problems.
IE. Iran does NOT have the Place Built or Places Built for all the centerfuges that would be needed.
Iran does NOT have all the centerfuges they would need.
So, when some Group claims Iran is building a Nuke, one only needs too remember what
they are really saying is…. “These people are building a Car bomb yet they have NO Car” “But they could Build this Car if they Build a place that builds Cars”
International Institute for Strategic Studies… one should look into Who this Group belongs to and Who pays thier Bills.

I am glad someone posted that fact. Iran has only been producing Uranium at 3% grade which can’t even be used as a weapon. Sky News is part of his Chain network… Just another Western, MacDonald’s style, desease infesting manifestation.
January 27th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
How many times does the IAEA Have to make the statement that Iran is at LEAST ten years away from having so much as the ability to enrich Uranium to make a bomb and that does not count the years it would likely take them to actually build the bomb and then the means to deliver it, it’s not like they can just call UPS and have it delivered next day mail to the Pentagon.
This is all just more BULL to get the justification to INVADE IRAN!
ALL 100% Hypothetical POSTURING!

This fear/war-mongering is getting boring. Too bad OJ is in jail. These dorkass reporters will have to find other stories to engage the sheeple-masses.
The US nearly nuked / bombed / firebombed Japan into the stoneage. So far no one else ever nuked anyone. WILL WE EVER STOP THIS CRAP????
January 27th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
Really? Back in 2006 I read in the news that they were only a couple of months away from the capability. Zero evidence of a weapons program.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:48 am
what will they do with just ONE nuke ? throw it on jerusalem and then wait for a rain of 200 jewish nukes coming down on them??! they need more than one do they really want to stop these israeli madmen from rampaging around the region like crezd nazis on killer drugs …..

Iran has no nukes yet…but Israel has nukes and is dying to use them dragging in the US as their big brother.
