"The Guardian newspaper reported on Thursday that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has requested a response from Iran in regard to evidence that the country has experimented with the creation of advanced implosion devices designed for use in nuclear weapons.

The report, which was compiled by using the data of numerous intelligence agencies over an extended period charges that Iranian scientists have been working on creating the components in a “two-point implosion” device. Such a device is used to bring about the chain reaction in a nuclear fission warhead. Furthermore, the device would be smaller than other nuclear implosion devices, which would in turn give Iran the ability to create much smaller warheads and therefore require a smaller missile system to deliver it to its target."

So....why hasn't Netanyahu started bombing?

Stupid as ever, right on cue.

Why is that a "stupid" question, given SOL's post?

With apologies to Mr. Morgan, if you have to ask you can't possibly understand the answer.

Flail on.

..but I have to ask - where was all of this concern when Israel was getting this technology, building a facility, refining uranium, and building the first of THEIR nuclear devices?

Hmmmm?

Just seems odd, doesn't it?

The Prime Minister of Israel, charged with its defense against nuking by Iran...who will do it soon as the warhead is mounted on the missile....doing NOTHING to prevent that.

I mean, he can read The Guardian, can't he???

You never have to explain your snarky, smug little quips.

I have livestock that are superior to the likes of Reptilicus, toolbelt.

Sigh..........What Wolf said......(thanks by the way).

(Just thought I would mention something that actually matters this morning, did not mean to interupt the intense "debate" over who has bigger bigots show up at opposing rallies.........)

Not that that one needed much explanation, it was pretty much straight-up personal insult. Did I upset you? :)

"Did I upset you?"

Hardly. You're occasionally amusing, and that's about it.

...in regard to your posts. You can turn a phrase, it must be said.

It's appropriate to delegate this one to Israel and Saudi Arabia (oh, and France; didn't Sarkozy sound wonderfully butch?) . The US has bigger fish to fry.

Perfect just what we need the likes of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the ME building its own nuclear programs to keep up with Iran's..........
