Sleep Tight, Vol. 2:
Iran has built up a stockpile of enough enriched uranium for one nuclear bomb, United Nations officials acknowledged on Thursday.
In a development that comes as the Obama administration is drawing up its policy on negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear programme, UN officials said Iran had produced more nuclear material than previously thought.
AdvertisementThey said Iran had accumulated more than one tonne of low enriched uranium hexafluoride at a facility in Natanz.
If such a quantity were further enriched it could produce more than 20kg of fissile material – enough for a bomb.
When I signed up to “take the Boeing” and bring VodkaPundit inside Pajamas Media, I volunteered in my contract to stop dropping the F-bomb. But right now I’m seriously tempted to break that provision and tell off every single f-bombing f’er who effing thought that we should effing talk to those effing effers in Tehran.
That goes double for that effing naif in the effing Oval Office.
Iran? Why that’s just a tiny little country! We have nothing to fear from them! Isn’t that what the Communist-In-Chief told us on the campaign trail?
This must be the last little bit of Bush war machine propaganda making its way through the system. See, Bush wanted to invade Iran with Israel to give himself an excuse to proclaim martial law. The intelligence community bravely revealed that Iran decided to mothball its nuclear program in March 2003 due to the intensive diplomatic efforts of the EU, derailing Bush’s plans (Seymour Hersh explained all of this). This “Iran could build a bomb” story must have been set in motion to provide cover for the war.
Yep, that must be what happened.
Much better if Mr. Effing Naif would authorize the use of “the Boeings” in a little f-bomb rearrangement of downtown Tehran.
Volunteered? Right.
That whole not-negotiating thing, how did it work? Oh yeah, it failed to stop this. How about the public not-negotiating thing with behind-the-scenes talking? Couldn’t accomplish anything either. Iran, like it or not (I don’t either,) is now a big player in the Middle East. It’s an unconfirmed nuclear power. And it’s a theocrazy theocracy.
If we can talk to North Korea, why not Iran? If we can talk with Russia, why not Iran? The world is full of bastards who would like us on our knees, China is busy making friendly deals with all of Africa, the world energy supply is good as long as we’re in a deep recession, and we’re focused on a pipsqueak nation like Iran that we can still obliterate any time we wish. I’m far more worried about Pakistan, which has actual weapons rather than enough uranium to make one bomb. And call me a naif all you wish, but I’m glad we have a willingness to talk with any and everyone. If there’s some bone-headed agreement, then complain. Talking? I don’t care. Obama seems quite able to string people along, so why the hell not put it to good use?
Here’s a suggestion: why don’t you come up with a really good f-bomb substitute and make that the hip new thing to say?
Seriously. I’d be really interested to see what you come up with. You could probably popularize it and use it for a year before anyone admitted it was really an f-bomb substitute and asked you to stop.
C’mon, Mr. Green- set a new trend. I know you can do it.
How about “gin”?
Because he’s no more trustworthy than the bastards running those other countries?
Just a thought.
Jon – how did not invading Iran work? If our lack of invading failed to stop Iran’s nuclear progress, doesn’t that mean we need to reverse course on that policy too?
What, you aren’t allowed to use “frak”?
Obama seems quite able to string people along, so why the hell not put it to good use?
Because these people are stone cold totalitarians and not starry-eyed Americans wallowing in self-pity?
