This is quite important, and may have a huge impact on Iran's motivations to continue its efforts towards finishing the second stage of plutonium production. It had been stated Iran is only a month away from completing that part. Once done, it will only take weeks to complete stage three before it has all it needs to put together a nuclear weapon. As was pointed out not long ago at the United Nations meeting, Iran must not be allowed to complete stage two. Israel was trying to get the world to apply pressure to stop this from happening.

A nuclear bomb detonated in any country would leave the fall out to spread to other nations. Iran would end up with enough material to make not just one bomb, but more. It also would be able to sell that material to other countries. Including terrorists, who could ship it to the United States for use against us. So it is in our best interests to not let Iran finish production of stage two.

President Obama was expected after being invited, join the other UN officials during their meeting in October to show his support on this matter. But he was too busy campaigning to bother taking time out. In fact, he never met with any foreign leaders the whole year until this week and then went to Asia.

As prime minister, he sought to conclude a permanent peace accord with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, initiating and participating in 2000′s abortive negotiations at Camp David hosted by US president Bill Clinton. Rebuffed by Arafat after offering an Israeli withdrawal from almost all of the West Bank, Barak later said he had “removed the mask” from Arafat, exposing the Palestinian leader as unwilling to agree to the compromises necessary for a viable two-state solution.

He knows now that the west will not stop Iran from gaining Nuclear weapons, they now are only a month or two away from having all the parts to start putting them together; once Hillary gave in to the Morsi hardliners he knew that Israel will have to go it alone, he does not want to be there when they finally attack, Israel will have to use Nuclear weapons to destroy the Iranian bomb factory's; the mid-east is about to go up in flames!

Hey Saxon - Read this. Where do you get your info? A month or two away, is more Zionist propaganda.

January 2011: When
Meir Dagan steps down as director of Israel’s Mossad spy agency, he says that
Iran would not be able to produce a nuclear weapon until 2015. "Israel
should not hasten to attack Iran, doing so only when the sword is upon its
neck," Mr. Dagan warned. Later he said that attacking Iran would be
"a stupid idea.... The regional challenge that Israel would face would be
impossible."

Great, he's finally realized the Netanyahu lies for what they are!!!

"This is quite important, and may have a huge impact on Iran's motivations to continue its efforts towards finishing the second stage of plutonium production. It had been stated Iran is only a month away from completing that part. Once done, it will only take weeks to complete stage three before it has all it needs to put together a nuclear weapon"

You people are something, let's see, taking from your comment above, how long will it take Israel to build a nuclear weapon, oh hell, never mind, I forgot, Israel has hundreds already. Iran should have the right to protect it's citizens, and country just as Israel, but no, people like you believe only Israel and America should be able to defend themselves. Such hypocrites you people are.

Netanyahu want's Iran for it's vast oil reserves, and their land....

Ralph H; from the Nuclear regulatory inspection, they said that Iran is much further along than they had realized; our own defense analysis now say only a matter of months for Iran; I have no idea what Israel will do, but if they do attack the fallout will be much bigger than Chernobyl, we are in very dangerous times.

I have no idea what Israel will do, but if they do attack the fallout will be much bigger than Chernobyl, we are in very dangerous times.

Your bunker isn't deep enough if you can still maintain an internet connection; keep going.

"people like you believe only Israel and America should be able to defend themselves"

Moshuluu, you're such a sheeple. I have absolutely no problem with only us and Israel having nuclear weapons. It is in my best interest that the world would be so constructed. However, since it isn't so constructed, I then have no problems with restricting moronic extremist regimes like Iran from getting those weapons. It is in my best interest.

There is nothing wrong with my promoting my best interest, just like people like you trying to promote your own. Hopefully, my side wins.

Saxon - Post a link to support your claim or else post a retraction and apology. "Further along", means nothing. The IAEA monitors Iran's nuclear enrichment and they have not gone beyond 20%. That is a fact. Read this.

WASHINGTON, Sep 1
2012 (IPS) - The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report made public
Thursday reveals that Iran has actually reduced the amount of 20-percent
enriched uranium available for any possible "breakout" to weapons
grade enrichment over the last three months rather than increasing it.

Contrary to the
impression conveyed by most news media coverage, the report provides new
evidence that Iran's enrichment strategy is aimed at enhancing its bargaining
position in negotiations with the United States rather than amassing such a
breakout capability.

Note: I post actual backup proof, not propaganda.

Israeli intelligence officials, like other intelligence agencies worldwide,
estimate that once a decision to build a bomb is reached, it would take months
to upgrade the enrichment and months more to build a crude bomb - in all, a
year to 18 months.

Then, to fit a bomb to a Shahab-3 missile capable of striking Israel would
take Iran two years, Israeli defense officials say.

India & Pakistan were always pitched as "Arch Rivals" in the media. It has been at least 14 years since both have had nuclear weapons and 30+ years since their capitals are within reach of their missiles.

And yet there hasn't been a nuclear attack or a missile attack.

So all of this fear mongering about Iran's weapons needs to stop. This is BS to grab iranian oil.

Most of the 911 attackers were Saudi. Go and hold Saudis responsible for that first before Iran.

Well, the only nuts so far to nuke other people were Americans who decided to drop some atomic bombs on millions of civilians just for the heck of it.

"As an America" as if you speak for Americans. Perhaps you should have stated what state, town or street you lived on to add to your pointless point. Speak for youself, not for 'Americans'.

Charles,thank you for posting that.. my sentiments exactly. Mr. Barak, I speak only for myself, but I am positive the majority of good American people will also be sad to see you go, I know that I am.

"President Obama was expected after being invited, join the other UN officials during their meeting in October to show his support on this matter. But he was too busy campaigning to bother taking time out. In fact, he never met with any foreign leaders the whole year until this week and then went to Asia."

The spineless two faced coward that stole our election, and to the people that put him back in power, you have the gall to call him president. He is slowly dismantling our once great country piece by piece. May my God have mercy upon your miserable disgusting souls.

Father, I ask you to forgive them for they know not what they have done. Welcome all, to the new sodom and gomorrah. Ya all have a nice day now, ya hear!

Fox360: We are the biggest consumers of the world's resources and, as such, an integral part of the global geo-political spectrum. We need others just as much as others need us. And, as the most powerful nation in the world, we are unfortunately also in the unenviable position of policeman, savior, and guarantor, a reality we cannot avoid if we are to maintain our current standard of living. And if you believe that radical Islam does not affect us, just consider the January 29, 2012 "Israel vs. Iran" article in the New York Times were it was noted that, "The Iranian regime will be several times more dangerous if it has a nuclear device in its hands...one that it could bring to the United States. It is not for nothing that it (i.e., Iran) is establishing bases for itself in Latin America and creating links with drug dealers on the US-Mexican border. This is happening in order to smuggle ordnance into the United States for the carrying out of terror attacks. Imagine this regime getting nuclear weapons to the US-Mexican border..." And have you already forgotten 9/11?

foxdrake: As a human being, you must be very lonely to have no friends. So sad that you can't tell the difference between Israel and Iran. Even sadder that you can't see Israel's importance to us. But, I guess you will hole up in your cave and complain that no one gives a darn about you when the rest of the world has been taken over by thugs and want your head or your submission.

Father, I ask you to forgive them for they know not what they have done. Welcome all, to the new sodom andgomorrah. Ya all have a nice day now, ya hear!

Right back at you idiot. You and other morons like you managed to turn my Christian religion into a political party and you claim some sort of moral high ground. Shame on you and those like you.

Basil - Your claim that Iran is establishing bases in Latin America and with Mexican cartels is pure Zionist propaganda. There isn't a gram of evidence to support your ridiculous statements.

All of our intelligence agencies have concluded that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program, which counts for a lot more than your Zionist bs.

In a recent interview with CNN, Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey said
he believed the Iranian regime was a "rational actor" when it comes to the nuclear program. Dempsey said Iran would likely weigh the
ultimate costs and benefits of building a nuclear weapon before doing so. James
Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, recently told a Senate panel
that a decision had not yet been made by the regime in Tehran.

Israeli intelligence officials, like other intelligence agencies worldwide,
estimate that once a decision to build a bomb is reached, it would take months
to upgrade the enrichment and months more to build a crude bomb - in all, a
year to 18 months.

Then, to fit a bomb to a Shahab-3 missile capable of striking Israel would
take Iran two years, Israeli defense officials say.

I haven't forgotten that the Twin Towers, along with Bldg 7, which were owned by the same Zionist Jew, Larry Silverstein, were brought down in controlled demolitions, not airplanes. 9/11 was an inside job, with Mossad help. Silverstein insured the 3 building against a terrorist attack for billions, a few months before the attacks. Bldg 7 was not even hit by a plane, yet fell to the ground into it's own footprint in 6.5 seconds.

NPR has had several shows detailing all the evidence of a false flag attack, including the drills scheduled for NORAD on 9/11, with a plane flying into a building scenario. WOW, what an amazing coincidence!. The NORAD pilots were wondering "is it a drill" or not. The Pentagon was hit an hour after the Twin towers and still no intercept from NORAD. The alleged hi jackers could hardly fly Cessna's, yet we were led to believe they were able to hit the Pentagon, which would require all the skills of a veteran pilot.

No more wars for Israel.

Next time you call somebody a spineless two faced coward and a thief, have the moral fortitude and courage to stand up and get in their face while on the TV news . . . . up close and personal to the object of your bitter hate . . . . so you and your tiny world can hear what all the spineless cowards have to say about you and your kind.

You are just another common everyday bully who hides behind mama or the teacher or their spouse or the computer and mouths your emotionally crippled rants without seeing how ugly you are or knowing how dumb you sound.

Get a mirror and set it next to your computer screen so you can watch yourself as you type your "comments". What you will be looking at is an embittered emotionally stunted image lite up by computer light and not the star commentator you embellish yourself to be. If you don't feel regret for what you have done and said, then read your bible instead of mocking it, where it says there is NO forgiveness for you and God will not hear your prayers. And buddy, that means you are on your on.

Since you tried to quote scriptures, here is the one that applies to you and all you other bully haters: God ordains the heads of governments, not you and without your opinions or your vote. If you don't like the President, then you need to shut up and take your complaint to God.

It is true that we do have protected speech, but illegal speech is not protected.

That means you and all the other bullies who think that what they have learned from the news media makes them qualified to run everything, aren't covered by your computer screen or freedom of speech. You are the old sodom and gomorrah and I doubt that you have ever had a nice day.

RepublicanOne,

Take a deep breath !!

"Just for the heck of it." <snicker> Apparently you haven't gotten to the grade where they teach WWII history yet.

"Alant98, moron, methinks, surely you are." --Master Yoda.

Well done, Minister Barak. Thank you for your many years of service. You have been an integral part of God's hand that built and sustained Israel. Let the heathens and useful infidels wail, mock and holler. One of you is mightier than 100 of them, because God has made it so. He will not only save His people Israel, but He will work in them to make them who He wants them to be; His laws written on hearts of flesh, not tablets of stone.

@Charles the Hammerhead

Look, you want to go "fight for Israel or Iran or whatever" ... you go pick up a rifle and go.

But the real COWARDS are those that volunteer those to go do their fighting for them.

No DOG in the fight, don't care, won't go. FU!

You took the words right out of my mouth! Unfortunately, he is taking his lead from Morsi!

"President Biden". Has a nice ring to it!

Hal-2824511

In four more years, Biden will do good by not digging his own $hit out of his diaper & smearing it in his hair plugs. Biden as President? Not no but HELL NO.

"President Biden". Has a nice ring to it!

President Bidding "farewell" has a better ring to it.

Steve...(((((STANDING OVATION)))). That is EXACTLY what I was thinking! Well said, my friend!!!

Just saying, that's what you would get if Obama resigned.

Fair or foul, Obama won the election. Methinks it's much better to consider how we're going to survive the next four years, rather than engage in senseless speculations, "if only"s, and backbiting. As for me, it only serves to reorient my understanding that politics and government cannot save us. Who can? Who wants to?

You guys are a bunch of losers. How are you going to survive another 4 years (and likely many more) of bitterness? Follow Romney and his kids on their missions in France?

Candy, c'mon now. Losers we are not. We are all in this together. I've seen a lot of backbiting and people saying this and that...I think that's the wrong focus. I didn't come out and say what my goals are and what my focus is, because I know people will react, call me crazy, etc. (and they have). I just think that if you voted for Obama, great. Let's get on with the business of making good choices and not counting in the government to save us. Here's a hint: Waiting until the building is on fire is a poor time to buy a fire extinguisher...get it? What are YOU doing, Candy, to make your neighborhood better? Your family? I think if we all had that focus, then we'd rise above the backbiting and blaming. Obama's president. Let's get over it and take care of our own front yards. If we all made that our focus, think of what a country we would be.

Max: I've never seen you condem the war mongering Islamists who in one day murder more of their own people (forget about people of other religions for the moment) than Israel has since its birth; and Israel has done so in self-defense. What's your excuse?

I condemn war mongering Islamists just like condemn ALL warmongerers. So what is your excuse for supporting this endless carnage that Israelis perpetuate? Are you one of the Jewish settlers living on land stolen from Palestinians thanks to this endless war? Do you benefit in any other way from that conflict? Or is it just an expression of tribal solidarity for you? The current conflict shows 5 dead Israelis and 150 dead Palestinians. That is a 30 to 1 murder to murder ratio. I'm sure biased folks like you rejoice that now, thanks to the "Iron Dome" defense system US taxpayers paid for. Now the terrorists in Israel can butcher Palestinians with relative impunity.

Wow! I did not think it was possible for someone to be so stupid as you! lol You are a JOKE! hahahahahaha!

Too bad the right wing didn't get their way and that coward that ran off to France during the Vietnam War 'Mittens' Romney isn't President. That's someone who is willing to have the children of the 47% die for Israel.

@RepublicanOne

LOL!!!! Spoken like a true republican......and probably why Romney LOSS!!!!

Basil Romeo

Max: I've never seen you condem the war mongering Islamists who in one day murder more of their own people

LOL....I seriously doubt you care that they murder "their own people," to you, you would probably say, "less to fight!"

This is just purgatory; he will retire in hell in an eternal three-way with satan and Henry Kissinger.

@RepublicanOne

LOL!!!! Spoken like a true republican......and probably why Romney LOSS!!!!

RepublicanOne has quite a few anger issues. I would suggest he get psychiatric help or get some new medications. All that from a person who most likely voted for Bush twice. Bush and Cheney were complicit in 9/11, especially Cheney, who arranged for NORAD to be conducting exercises and drills on 9/11, instead of responding to the attack.

I bet he is still looking for those WMD in Iraq. He has no problem that the war in Iraq, which was based on lies, will cost upwards of 3.5 trillion dollars and the lives of so many soldiers.

Then why don't you move there, you simpering POS...

@RepublicanOne

LOL!!!! Spoken like a true republican......and probably why Romney LOSS!!!!

Your post reminds me of your most conservative sect , insulting school girls, calling them whores, for their ankles showing (your Taliban) . Then refusing to serve in the Israeli military for "religious reasons". Have a black hat and a beard???

Have you reached your JDL post points yet???

Between us: Agnostic , could give a r@&* A$% about either of your religions. Just don't ask our sectarian US young to fight your battles.

RepublicanOne

I am more worried about getting rid of our "own" Barak...

Is that a threat to a sitting American President?

For our friends who oversee this board, how much longer do we have to wade through this string of foollish and foul mouthed rants from this guy?
