Iran Does Not Have Key Nuclear Material Says Obama Propaganda

This is completely ignorant, reckless, and scary.

Hey folks,

This is actually flat out insane. There are only two possibilities here. One, Obama is just completely ignorant and naive, which is how our enemies see him, or, he knows exactly what he is doing. The latter being even scarier.

Why do you think China has been playing war games with us? North Korea testing missiles, Russia flying over our ships at sea, and Iran launching rockets into space? Because they do not see Obama as nothing more than an inexperienced stupid kid. Someone that doesn't care for the Military, the founding morals of this country. Someone who hates Bush and his Policies that have KEPT America safe. Some see him as someone they can smile at and say "yes, we want to be your friend" and he will BELIEVE them. Then you have the whole fact of him wanting to Socialize this very country, turning it into one that resembles theirs. Perhaps some see him as a person that SHARES their beliefs.

There has to be an answer why Obama seems hell bent on trying to be friends with our enemies and turn our friends into new enemies. He was "too tired to give Prime Minister Gordon Brown a formal greeting" besides "he was unaware that this was a custom." Also too busy sending letters to Russia. So the Press accepts and gladly reports. {Sigh} He is actively working on proposing a two State solution for Israel and the Palestinians. OK'ed $900 million to Hamas. Now he has the "experts," one is about to be appointed to the head the National Intelligence Council, saying that Iran is no threat.

Only problem is former U.S. Ambassador Charles Freeman, does not like Israel, has ties to foreign governments, including Saudi Arabia and China. But that's OK, he is working hard with ethics advisers to scrub his personal finances for potential conflicts of interest. {Laughing} Hey, with the Obama administration, corruption is a resume enhancement.

Remember last month I told you about this? The False Hope Of Iran Part Two

In his news conference this week, President Obama went so far as to describe Iran's "development of a nuclear weapon" before correcting himself to refer to its "pursuit" of weapons capability.

{laughing} He really knows what Iran is up to. He just cannot come right out and say it. He may upset some Anti-War Kooks.

Obama's nominee to serve as CIA director, Leon E. Panetta, left little doubt about his view last week when he testified on Capitol Hill. "From all the information I've seen," Panetta said, "I think there is no question that they are seeking that capability."

As a matter of fact U.S. National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair

Asked about it at a Senate hearing, Blair acknowledged it was a difficult question to deal with in a public setting.

"I can say at this point that Iran is clearly developing all the components of a deliverable nuclear weapons program -- fissionable material, nuclear weaponizing capability and the means to deliver it," he said.

"Whether they take it all the way to nuclear weapons and become a nuclear power will depend a great deal on their own internal decisions," he said.

"Nobody in the international community wants to see a nuclear armed Iran, either. The question is what are you going to do about it," he said.

So? What are we going to do about it Mr. Blair? We are going to appoint an Idiot that doesn't like Israel, and want to divert attention away from Iran. According to AP - Officials: Iran does not have key nuclear material

WASHINGTON – Iran does not yet have any highly enriched uranium, the fuel needed to make a nuclear warhead, two top U.S. intelligence officials told Congress Tuesday, disputing a claim by an Israeli official.

U.S. National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair and Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lt. Gen. Michael Maples said Tuesday that Iran has only low-enriched uranium — which would need to be refined into highly enriched uranium before it can fuel a warhead. Neither officials said there were indications that refining has occurred.

I would be willing to bet that THIS is true. If Little Hitler had the war head, he would have used it by now. But this does not mean that he is not WORKING on it as we speak. He is.

Their comments disputed a claim made last weekend by Israel's top intelligence military official, who said Iran has crossed a technical threshold and is now capable of producing atomic weapons.

Capable of producing. That they are.

The claim made by Israeli Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin runs counter to estimates by U.S. intelligence that the earliest Iran could produce a weapon is 2010, with some analysts saying it is more likely that it is 2015.

We have already debunked this twice. But let's see folks. Today is 31109. 2010 in less than nine months away. This is reassuring? The time it takes a woman to become pregnant and give birth, Iran could possess a Nuclear Bomb with the capability of "wiping Israel off the map," their stated goal, and hitting some US Cities? But that's OK.

Maples said the United States and Israel are interpreting the same facts, but arriving at different conclusions.

"The Israelis are far more concerned about it," Maples told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

THAT is a MAJOR problem here. The Obama Administration is NOT concerned about it.

The status of Iran's nuclear program has been the subject of conflicting public statements by top military and intelligence officials recently in the wake of U.N. revelations that Iran has more low-enriched uranium than previously thought.

Earlier this month, Defense Sec. Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm.. Mike Mullen differed over Iran's capability. While Mullen said Iran has sufficient fission material for a bomb, Gates insisted "they're not close to a weapon at this point."

Yeah 9 months is not even close. Right? That's using your own information. Which is questionable to say the least. Divert attention. DIVERT ATTENTION!

Maples also told the committee that insurgent violence in Afghanistan has gotten more ferocious in the last year even as violence in Iraq declined.

The use of roadside bombs in Afghanistan more than doubled in 2008 over the previous year, and attacks overall increased by 55 percent from 2007 to 2008. Suicide bombings increased by 21 percent and small-arms attacks increased by 33 percent.

Where do these road side bombs come from? Where do some of the weapons they are using come from? Yeah.

Some of these trends reflect more aggressive military operations in Taliban strongholds by U.S. and other NATO forces, Maples said.

Maples said the Somali extremist group al-Shabaab is poised to formally merge with al-Qaida, expanding the terrorist franchise in East Africa. An analysis of the propaganda released by both groups recently highlights their ideological similarities, suggesting a merger is forthcoming, Maples said.

So forget Israel. Forget Iran. Forget that they either have or are close to having the ability to make a Nuclear Bomb. Forget that. Let's look at Africa?

Al-Shabaab conducts almost daily attacks in Somalia. A merger would strengthen al-Qaida's foothold in East Africa.

The two groups have long been suspected of working together, but they have not yet announced a formal alliance. Al-Qaida has operations in north Africa, Yemen and Iraq.

But what about the computers? WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE COMPUTERS! {Sigh}

Blair said National Security Agency is poised to take a lead role in protecting U.S. computer networks from cyber attacks. The NSA — tarnished in the public view by its role in the Bush-era "warrantless wiretapping" program — now conducts clandestine computer attacks on U.S. adversaries, and could use those skills to protect U.S. networks from similar attacks.

Oh, "warrantless wiretapping" program which Obama now says is a good thing that we must keep. {Laughing}

He said it must be done under strict oversight to make sure it is not gathering private American information that violates privacy and civil liberties laws.

Blair also stood firm behind former U.S. Ambassador Charles Freeman, his pick for a top analysis job, despite strong congressional criticism.

Freeman, who was U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the Persian Gulf war, had harshly criticized the Israeli government, the Iraq war and the war on terrorism in general.

A policy council Freeman headed also has been criticized for some ties to foreign governments, including Saudi Arabia and China. Blair's inspector general is investigating those ties while Freeman works with ethics advisers to scrub his personal finances for potential conflicts of interest.

Blair has tapped Freeman to head the National Intelligence Council, which analyzes critical national security issues drawing from all U.S. intelligence agencies. The National Intelligence Estimates are meant to be unvarnished and apolitical.

"The National Intelligence Estimates are meant to be unvarnished and apolitical." OK?

Blair said Freeman's strong opinions are exactly why he wants him to be chairman of the council.

"I think I can do a better job if I am getting strong analytical viewpoints than if I am getting pre-cooked pablum," Blair said.

You really are a Moron Mr. Blair. All you are going to get from Freeman is "pre-cooked pablum." Actually more like grandiloquence. But then again, that is most likely what Obama wants as well.

The seven Republican members of the Senate Intelligence Committee sent a letter to Blair Monday expressing concerns about Freeman's suitability for the job. They joined more than a dozen members of the House who over the last two weeks have sent similar letters and requested the IG investigation.

Besides, Obama is too busy attempting to become Supreme Leader Obama in this country. He doesn't have time to worry about Iran. He's tired. He need not be troubled with stupid foreign affairs things.

The False Hope Of Iran Part Two

The Information you may not know.

Hey folks,

We're back. OK. So we talked about the Times piece talking about the "experts" who are completely wrong, saying what we should talk to Iran about. Well, did you know that just this past Thursday, 12 February 2009 , The LA Times and Iran Focus printed this. U.S. now sees Iran as pursuing nuclear bomb By Greg Miller

Reporting from Washington -- Little more than a year after U.S. spy agencies concluded that Iran had halted work on a nuclear weapon, the Obama administration has made it clear that it believes there is no question that Tehran is seeking the bomb.

Really? Did you hear that?

In his news conference this week, President Obama went so far as to describe Iran's "development of a nuclear weapon" before correcting himself to refer to its "pursuit" of weapons capability.

{laughing} He really knows what Iran is up to. He just cannot come right out and say it. He may upset some Anti-War Kooks.

Obama's nominee to serve as CIA director, Leon E. Panetta, left little doubt about his view last week when he testified on Capitol Hill. "From all the information I've seen," Panetta said, "I think there is no question that they are seeking that capability."

OF COURSE NOT. You know, I just got scolded, last week, or the week before, for saying I know more about Little Hitler {Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad} and Iran itself than Obama. Sorry, truth is truth.

The language reflects the extent to which senior U.S. officials now discount a National Intelligence Estimate issued in November 2007 that was instrumental in derailing U.S. and European efforts to pressure Iran to shut down its nuclear program.

As the administration moves toward talks with Iran, Obama appears to be sending a signal that the United States will not be drawn into a debate over Iran's intent.

"When you're talking about negotiations in Iran, it is dangerous to appear weak or naive," said Joseph Cirincione, a nuclear weapons expert and president of the Ploughshares Fund, an anti-proliferation organization based in Washington.

That is ALL Obama appears. "Weak and naive." Why do you think that Ahmadinejad, and the rest of the Terrorists over there WANTED Obama to win?

Cirincione said the unequivocal language also worked to Obama's political advantage. "It guards against criticism from the right that the administration is underestimating Iran," he said.

Yeah that is working well, huh?

Iran has long maintained that it aims to generate electricity, not build bombs, with nuclear power. But Western intelligence officials and nuclear experts increasingly view those claims as implausible.

What I have been warning you about for nearly three years.

U.S. officials said that although no new evidence had surfaced to undercut the findings of the 2007 estimate, there was growing consensus that it provided a misleading picture and that the country was poised to reach crucial bomb-making milestones this year.

No. They will have it. They just launched a Rocket into space to prove they have the delivery capability as well.

Obama's top intelligence official, Dennis C. Blair, the director of national intelligence, is expected to address mounting concerns over Iran's nuclear program in testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee today.

When it was issued, the NIE stunned the international community. It declared that U.S. spy agencies judged "with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program."

U.S. intelligence officials later said the conclusion was based on evidence that Iran had stopped secret efforts to design a nuclear warhead around the time of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Which I dis-proved. This was completely reversed from what the report say said Previously. There is more than mounting evidence that Little Hitler is closer than we think.

Often overlooked in the NIE, officials said, was that Iran had not stopped its work on other crucial fronts, including missile design and uranium enrichment. Many experts contend that these are more difficult than building a bomb.

Iran's advances on enrichment have become a growing source of alarm. Since 2004, the country has gone from operating a few dozen centrifuges -- cylindrical machines used to enrich uranium -- to nearly 6,000, weapons experts agree.

By November, Iran had produced an estimated 1,400 pounds of low-enriched uranium, not nearly enough to fuel a nuclear energy reactor, but perilously close to the quantity needed to make a bomb.

A report issued last month by the Institute for Science and International Security concluded that "Iran is moving steadily toward a breakout capability and is expected to reach that milestone during the first half of 2009." That means it would have enough low-enriched uranium to be able to quickly convert it to weapons-grade material.

Tehran's progress has come despite CIA efforts to sabotage shipments of centrifuge components on their way into Iran and entice the country's nuclear scientists to leave.

Iran still faces considerable hurdles. The country touted its launch of a 60-pound satellite into orbit this month. Experts said Iran's rockets would need to be able to carry more than 2,000 pounds to deliver a first-generation nuclear bomb.

And there are indications that the U.S. and Iran are interested in holding serious diplomatic discussions for the first time in three decades. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said this week that his nation was "ready to hold talks based on mutual respect," and Obama indicated that his administration would look for opportunities "in the coming months."

OF COURSE he wants to talk. It's called stalling Boys and Girls. Oh, you want to know where Time got the false belief that Little Hitler has no real power and is on his way out? From Iran!

Hassan Qashqavi, spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry, on Wednesday warned the U.S. not to wait for Iranian presidential elections this year, because ultimate authority rests with supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

He also said Iran would be patient.

"Since a new administration came to power in the U.S., we do not want to burn the opportunity of President Obama and give him time to change the reality on the ground," Qashqavi said.

But experts said Iran was now close enough to nuclear weapons capability that it may be less susceptible to international pressure.

They have NEVER been susceptible to international pressure. They never will be.

"They've made more progress in the last five years than in the previous 10," Cirincione said.

{Laughing}

Then just one day later. Oops. Did we say that?

Iran Focus - Iran nuclear arms bid unclear: US intel chief
Friday, 13 February 2009

WASHINGTON (AFP) — US intelligence does not know whether Iran intends to develop nuclear weapons, but at a minimum Tehran is keeping that option open, the new US intelligence director said.

Retired admiral Dennis Blair said US intelligence assesses that Iran has not restarted nuclear weapons design and weaponization work that it halted in late 2003.

"Although we do not know whether Iran currently intends to develop nuclear weapons, we assess Tehran at a minimum is keeping open the option to develop them," he said in an annual threat assessment to Congress.

{Laughing} What happened to "According to the evidence, there is no doubt?"

The assessment essentially reaffirmed a 2007 intelligence report that at the time was widely seen as a setback to international efforts to put pressure on Iran to abandon its nuclear program.

Blair's predecessor, retired admiral Mike McConnell, later said it had been a mistake to make public the key judgements of the intelligence assessment because it suggested Iran was no longer pursuing nuclear weapons.

Which is what is was suppose to do. It was all BS. Complete BS

Asked about it at a Senate hearing, Blair acknowledged it was a difficult question to deal with in a public setting.

"I can say at this point that Iran is clearly developing all the components of a deliverable nuclear weapons program -- fissionable material, nuclear weaponizing capability and the means to deliver it," he said.

"Whether they take it all the way to nuclear weapons and become a nuclear power will depend a great deal on their own internal decisions," he said.

"Nobody in the international community wants to see a nuclear armed Iran, either. The question is what are you going to do about it," he said.

EXACTLY! What is Obama going to do about it. Go smile and wave. Have Tea and Naan-Gerdooee. Wave his hand and say, "You know, the Evil Bush is gone. I won. You can trust me. You can be assured that I will control the US and leave you guys alone. Come on. Sing Kumbaya with me." Ahmadinejad will then say "Oh I know, I know, Yes, yes. The Devil is gone. Good for you. Because you are now in charge, we will be friends. This is the start of a beautiful friendship. Kumbaya my friend, kumbaya. Oh, you want some tips on how to be a good Dictator?"

"If the international community can put together a real package of sticks and potential reassurances that meets some of these concerns that Iran feels, there is a chance, there is a chance they will choose another course," he said.

But he said that will be difficult because the international community remains divided over what to do.

SO? We should not be. Israel is not. We KNOW what needs to be done. Stop them from becoming Nuclear at ANY COST.

"We judge Iran probably would be technically capable of producing enough highly enriched uranium (HEU) for a weapon sometime during the 2010-2015 time frame," his report said.

But it said the State Department intelligence office believes Iran is unlikely to be able to produce enough enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon before 2013 because of forseeable technical problems.

Just flat out Bunk. He has enough right now. or will have as soon as possibly by the end of THIS year.

Asked about Iran's launch last week of a domestically manufactured satellite into orbit, Blair said it demonstrated that the Iranians are mastering multi-stage missile technology that could be used for either peaceful or military purposes.

"If they put resources on it, they can make a serious missile force," he said.

That is the point.

Blair said the United States should not count on a change in policy in Iran even if President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is turned out of office in June presidential elections.

"We expect (Supreme leader Ali) Khamenei will attempt to manipulate the presidential election, largely by limiting the range of candidates," his assessment said.

Of course. HE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

So let's recap. Obama KNOWS that Little Hitler is closer than they are publicly telling us. He knows that if they become Nuclear, they WILL USE THEM. So I asked President Obama, What DO you intend to do about it? It is FAR easier to prevent a Nuclear Holocaust, then it is to explain WHY you let it happen.
