Iran to be nuclear power within one month?
In an interview with Iran's FARS news service, the deputy research chief of the Islamic republic’s Atomic Energy of Iran (AEOI) announced that Iran will be a nuclear power within one month. Fars on Tuesday quoted Behzad Soltani, who also serves as the secretary-general of the AEOI’s Scientific Cooperation Council, as saying that “no country would ever think about attacking Iran” once the nuclear threshold has been crossed.Is he bluffing? I don't think anyone can say for sure.
"We do not intend to use the peaceful nuclear energy merely for generating electricity and energy, rather our next step would be expanding use of this technology,” Soltani reportedly said. Radiation, he said, can ensure that “foodstuff, proteins and vegetables are preserved for a longer time and with a higher quality.”
Soltani added that construction work on a large-scale nuclear powerplant and a smaller research reactor in the Iranian city of Arak is nearing completion and is now at 70 percent.
The technology, he said, would enable Iran to improve its political, economic and technological standing. "Iran's mighty nuclear independence [will] intermingle with economic growth, expansion of technology and political power in the international arena," Soltani suggested.
What could go wrong?

Who knows?
What is certain is that sanctions will not deter Iran. And as Jonathan Tobin relates of the silence from American Jewry in the face of American inaction and Iran's genocidal threats towards the Jewish State, this bears particular emphasis:
"The question is, what are American Jews — the vast majority of whom voted for Obama as loyal Democrats — prepared to do to convince their President to act before it is too late? There is no evidence to suggest that there is a pervasive sense of alarm or outrage about the administration’s feckless Iran policy or its perverse insistence on hostility toward the democratically elected government of Israel. Thus, for all of the attention devoted to observances of Yom Hashoah among American Jews, it appears as if the actual lesson of the Holocaust has no resonance for all too many. Though it was always true, this year the mere recital of expressions of sorrow for the Six Million are not enough. Acts of remembrance that do not lead us to draw conclusions about the present are of little use. For all the care and money that has gone into the proliferation of Holocaust memorials around the United States, it must be understood that the best and only true memorial to the Shoah is to be found in the creation and the survival of the State of Israel and of the Jewish people itself. Those who weep over fate of the Six Million but say nothing as Barack Obama lets Iran off the hook have learned nothing."
Indeed. Its cost-free for liberal American Jews to shed crocodile tears for dead Jews. What will they do to keep Israel alive? On the face of it, nothing. The real lesson of the Holocaust has NOT been learned at all by American Jews. And there's more - lots more to ponder.
Read It Here And Read It All
war is coming...
no doubt...
ID the enemy, and get ready to hit the most valued targets asap...
America is not going to help...
Bluffing does not matter. We know in a short amount of time Israel will be sitting on the prepuce of another Shoah.
Although the Bush liberal holdover Gates last week 'rationalized' sanctions by proclaiming "Iran yet capable of nuclear weapons."
Truth be known from the get go there should have been sanctions --> with teeth aimed at paralyzing Iran long before Obama came to office.
Robert Gates was put into position by Bush in the first place to appease the liberal EU and Arab street because he (Gates) is a liberal. Why do you think Obama kept him on?
Ah, the dance continues...
NormanF, I don't want to start an argument but this railing on American Jews is political. Ditto non Jews railing on Obama. The silence was so deafening by conservatives when Bush threw Israel to the wolves by breaking promise after promise, it made me crazy. It taught me a good lesson however.
When the same stink comes from another tush, that is different!
This is why I will only vote for a conservative because their views are similar to mine. As far as voting because of a promise made to Israel,which turned out to be lies, forget it.
They all failed the litmus test.
Jews are stubborn ones and very slow to learn. The reason the idiots remain liberal is because of the sins placed upon them in the 30 and 40's when conservative white society denied them of just about everything.
Yes, it is time to wake up.
But like I have posted time and time again, it is so unfair to target liberal Jews when I am on 3 teams of people many of whom are liberal who have protested against Obama on Iran and Israel.
Broad brushstrokes is what led to the suffering of Jews to begin with.
I read the post at Debkafile a moment ago.
It seems that the underlying statement is that if the US does not prevent Israel attacking Iran, Iran will punish the US with an attack.
