WHoa, can we have some board manners here and not paste miles long articles? If you feel a need to have this article read, LINK to it please. Paraphrase it. But this text dumping is polluting the thread.
As for iran's perceived nuclear capability. The US' ability to perceive threats of WMD have been somewhat tarnished lately. Maybe it is true or not. But it so happens that my neighbour is working with nuclear contingency plans for our national security. From what he heard on "the grapevine", Iranians possess rather few of the critical "slings" or centrifuges that is used to enrich uranium... or is that deplete? They possess a fraction of the numbers used normally to manufacture weaponsgrade uranium per bomb. So even IF they have the plans and some of the raw materials, they do have a while to go yet before they can actually make one.
After that, they have the problem of testing it. Once they test it, the world knows fer shure. They can go without testing it. But who knows what it will do the. Be a real bomb or just a very polluting firecracker? For the time being, I think the world should concentrate on moping up the mess in Iraq and Afghanistan, not plan bombing of Iran.
