Iran only months away from having atomic bomb.

Muhammad El-Baradei, the head of the IAEA...the UN's nuclear watchdog division, says he agrees with Israel....Iran is only a few months away from creating an atomic bomb. However, he warns against anybody actually doing anything about it....fearing Iran would retaliate. Now that's a great plan, isn't it? A sworn enemy is well on the way to developing nukes, and you just sit back and do nothing because you're afraid they may retaliate. Just let them proceed until they actually have the nuclear weapons in hand. A typically useless position from the Nobel prize-winning bureaucrat.
Now think for just a minute....Iran is going to have a nuclear weapon. Iran has gone on record calling for the destruction of Israel and the United States. Soon they will have an atomic warhead to do just that. So what should we do about it? The answer is simple.... you destroy their capacity to manufacture nuclear weapons! Besides, newly democratic Iraq could use a little parking space. That nuclear facility would make a nice slab of asphalt.
But it won't happen, unless the Israelis do it. There is simply no will in this country to take Iran on...and you can bet the Anti-Semitic UN will soon be warning Israel not to take any action. Maybe Iran won't launch the nuke.....they'll just sell it to Al-Zarqawi. Comforting thought, isn't it? [link] http://boortz.com/nuze/index.html [/link]

Just a little caveat:
Quote:A compromise deal that Iran has neither accepted nor rejected is for Russia to do the nuclear enrichment.
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/asia/article331219.ece Although IAEA officials have said it would take at least two years for Natanz (underground enrichment plant) to become fully operational, Mr ElBaradei believes that once the facility is up and running, the Iranians could be "a few months" away from a nuclear weapon.

So, are we gonna send in some special ops undercover to gather intel, or better yet, destroy the nuke factory? Will we send in a stealth plane at night to surgically take the factory out?
No.
We'll ask for a show of hands in a nearby region. "Who wants to be heavily armed in our fight against the evil Iranians?"
"Me!" "Me, too!" "Me sword's by yer side!"
(BTW, these people hate us, or WILL hate us. But that's okay, another enemy for when Al-Queda tuckers out.)
See, I'm not against blastin' a bad guy, just wasting lives through stupidity, and targeting barns ("Damn, I coulda swore it was a WMD warehouse in the sat pic!). I want the present administration to do exactly nothing militarily; it's the only good decision they are capable of making at this time.
EDIT: Sorry, I mean, it's the only good decision they could make, IF they were capable.
*Sigh* Where's Rambo when we need him? He did one hell of a job in Afghanistan, I'll tell ya.

Yeah, I know. It's that sabre rattling again. I predicted it was either going to be Syria (which as a target has a lot going for it - puny and an 'oops we must have gone over the border with Iraq' built-in alibi) or Iran (a much tougher proposition).
To mix my metaphors slightly, do you see the efforts to stampede the public in the works?

Well, folks have enough time to gear up their chant engines. Fill in the blanks later, I guess.
Muhammad El-Baradei lied!
_____________'s died!
Or some such nonsense.

El-Baradei didn't lie. Your quote did. Iran is 2 months away from building a bomb - but only after the 2 years it takes to get their plant running. If they started today.
And there is no reason to think they have started.
That's what defines this whole stampede effort - Don't think! Don't wait! There is only months before DOOM! DOOM! We must do something now NOW NOW !

Nothing to do with anything but I have a 6 week old kitten named "Stumpy" chasing after my fingers and running over the keyboard.

If that's the case, then indeed, the headline I got that from mistated the story. But I'm not sure how far along the Iranian's plant is, because no one honestly knows. They agree w/ inspections, then they change their mind. I think they've agreed in principle to allow inspections again, but when ?
And I can understand the flip side of the coin....why do some States get to have nuclear power, while others don't. On the surface, that does seem unfair. But when a President of one country ( Iran ) opendly declares that another country ( Israel ) should be wiped off the face of the Earth, concern is warranted.
