Iran 'three to eight years' away from nuclear weapon
Published by Human Head on Thursday, May 24, 2007 at 10:37 AM.Iran is between three and eight years away from producing a nuclear weapon if it chooses to do so, the International Atomic Energy Agency said today.That guy is obviously a terrorist with terrorist viewpoints. Good thing we've got people like Zalmay Khalilzad helping pave the way for doing what needs to be done,"I tend, based on our analysis, to agree [with US assessments] that even if Iran wanted to go for a nuclear weapon, it would not be before the end of this decade or sometime in the middle of the next decade," Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the UN's nuclear watchdog, told a news conference in Luxembourg. "In other words, three to eight years from now."
However, he said the agency had seen no evidence that Iran was trying to "weaponise" nuclear material or of undeclared nuclear facilities operating in the country.Last week, Mr ElBaradei angered the US, Britain and France by saying the western strategy of denying Iran enrichment capability was obsolete because the country already had it.
That's Zalmay Khalilzad, CFR lackey, former employee of Paul Wolfowitz when he was Director of Policy Planning in the State Department, former Director of the Strategy, Doctrine, and Force Structure for the RAND corporation, consultant for UNOCAL (or, more specifically, Cambridge Energy Research Associates, hired by UNOCAL), longtime pals with fellow oilman Hamid Karzai, and last but not least, one of the original members of The Project for the New American Century (PNAC).The US ambassador to the UN, Zalmay Khalilzad, yesterday said Washington was now considering taking further steps against Tehran.
"What we have done so far is not enough. More needs to be done," he said. "The time has come to look at additional pressure ... to bring about a change in Iranian calculations."
