Nukes, Anyone? Iran Now Has Enough Enriched Uranium To Begin Making A Bomb
By: Marshall Ramsey II, Worthy News U.S. Correspondent
JERUSALEM, Israel - It's official. Quiet, but official. Iran now has enough enriched uranium to begin making a nuclear weapon.
In a radio interview on "The Schnitt Show," broadcasting out of Florida, United States, on 17 September, 2012, former ambassador to the United Nations (U.N.) John Bolton was discussing Iran and Israel's response to Iran's continuing production of enriched uranium. Among the different aspects covered, one stood out: The subject of drawing a 'red line' for Iran concerning its nuclear enrichment program.
At about the 48 minute mark of hour three of the program, 3:00 to 6:00 EST, Ambassador Bolton stated that for the sensible man, "Iran has already crossed that [red] line." Although he tried to make it sound benign, it was clear that he was talking about Iran's nuclear enrichment program and their desire to make a nuclear weapon.
Mr. Bolton apparently did not intend to reveal this information because as soon at it left his mouth, he immediately went into damage control, trying to deflect the listener away from the obvious conclusion that Iran had sufficient nuclear material to make a bomb. The note of fear in Mr. Bolton's voice during said damage control is obvious, as is his comment that Iran has already 'crossed that line,' being a shot at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's desires that the leaders of the world draw a 'red line' regarding Iran's nuclear weapons program.
Over the course of the past week, Mr. Netanyahu has called on President Obama and other world leaders to clearly state at what point Iran would face a military attack if it doesn't cease its ambitions of making a nuclear weapon. President Obama and some of his top aides have repeatedly stated that all options are "on the table," and that there would be time for action beyond toughened sanctions already in place. One should read into President Obama's statement of all options being on the table as a military strike on Iran is not an option.
President Obama and the Iranians are not Israel's only enemies. Anne Flaherty, a reporter with the Associated Press, called Mr. Netanyahu " hawkish," and said his remarks concerning the American public "needing to elect a president willing to draw a red line" concerning Iran are "an impassioned election-season plea from a world leader who insists that he "doesn't want to insert himself into U.S. politics" and "hasn't endorsed either candidate." The effects of Miss Flaherty's statements present Prime Minister Netanyahu as unnecessarily aggressive, a war-monger, and a drama king who wants to try to control the outcome of US elections. What this also does is spread anti-Semitism around the globe, as it makes Mr. Netanyahu in particular, and Jews/Israelis in general as wanting to control the world to the subjugation of everyone else. Perhaps Miss Flaherty should look to the Muslim community when presenting a picture so evil.
Whatever your feelings are for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israelis, and Jews around the world are, the facts are clear: Iran was, and is, actively developing nuclear material for use in a weapon; they intend to use it against Israel; and, Israel needs to make a decision soon, with or without U.S. or international backing.
"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure." Psalm 2, verses 1-5, King James Version Bible
