Merry Christmas, Suckers (Part II)
The Times has the scoop on Iran’s nuclear program:
Confidential intelligence documents obtained by The Times show that Iran is working on testing a key final component of a nuclear bomb.
The notes, from Iran’s most sensitive military nuclear project, describe a four-year plan to test a neutron initiator, the component of a nuclear bomb that triggers an explosion. Foreign intelligence agencies date them to early 2007, four years after Iran was thought to have suspended its weapons programme.
An Asian intelligence source last week confirmed to The Times that his country also believed that weapons work was being carried out as recently as 2007 — specifically, work on a neutron initiator.
The technical document describes the use of a neutron source, uranium deuteride, which independent experts confirm has no possible civilian or military use other than in a nuclear weapon. Uranium deuteride is the material used in Pakistan’s bomb, from where Iran obtained its blueprint.
There’s no way this ends well.
Now, now, Just because the Big A
says that he is an Apocalyptic
Millenialist, who wants to start
the End of Days, thereby upgrading
his place in Paradise from the
bleachers to a SkyBox, it does
not follow that he will Nuke the
Suez Canal, first chance he gets.
Silly; He will hit Israel, and wait
for the Samson strategy to do that.
“There’s no way this ends well.”
They could blow themselves to smithereens trying to test it.
Your improbable silver lining for the day.
Garrett wins.
