AP NewsBreak: Nuke agency says Iran can make bomb

Sep 17 01:23 PM US/Eastern
VIENNA (AP) - Experts at the world's top atomic watchdog are in agreement that Tehran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb and is on the way to developing a missile system able to carry an atomic warhead, according to a secret report seen by The Associated Press.

The document drafted by senior officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency is the clearest indication yet that the agency's leaders share Washington's views on Iran's weapon-making capabilities.

It appears to be the so-called "secret annex" on Iran's nuclear program that Washington says is being withheld by the IAEA's chief.

The document says Iran has "sufficient information" to build a bomb. It says Iran is likely to "overcome problems" on developing a delivery system.

But...But....But...

St. Barrack has said that we don't NEED the missile shield in Poland because Iran can't make missiles that will work....This latest information MUST be racism by the Republicans and Tea Baggers.

He's already seen Obama's response which was to cancel the anti ballistic missile system.

They need to be able to deliver it. I hope the Israelis start to take action before the Russian Air Defense system is a go in Iran. Its going to be hard enough to destroy the nuclear facilities.

I think some other county is watching a bit better than this one.



They will do something to stop this.

Yep.  I think he's known for awhile that zero wouldn't lift a finger.  Israel knows for sure it goes alone in any attack on Iran.

After Sarkozy confirmed it yesterday, this article blows it out of the water.  I also read where MA was *angry* with Sarkozy for stating what he did yesterday.  LOL!

I still think he met secretly with Russia to let them know they're going to attack Iran, and Russia has nothing to worry about.

This is probably the most logical and reliable delivery system for them since it doesn't give you any time to respond unlike missiles. I hope that the Israeli border guard can detect this crap.

With the patriot missile systems in theater, there is no way a nation like Iran would waste money on a missile delivery system for Israel.  Nor is their nuclear weapon probably light enough to put atop a missile.  It'll be aboard a container ship, in a freight truck or flown in on a civilian aircraft.  Not a chance that Iran gives two shits about a delivery system... unless it isn't their nuke they are trying to put on top of a missile.

And this is why our target was always Iran.  We just failed to execute (on a strategic level).  This is why I always argued that we needed to aid the opposition in Iran.  We should have done something during the post-election revolting.  Instead they can make nukes and have a dictator.

Exactly.  They are extremely limited in how they can hit Iran.  I have no doubt, however, that if all other options become impossible, they will nuke Iran.
