#10  So now there is absolutely no reason for Israel to wait any longer. They should begin the pre-emptive strike now at a time of their choosing.

#6  There were some intense discussions about suitcase nukes here at Rantburg some years ago. The conclusion was that they require frequent and intensive maintenance by very highly skilled technicians, without which they make nice paperweights. So I stopped worrying about them.

#5  Plutonium doesn't make a thermonuclear bomb.

I don't buy the whole suitcase nuke thing. If OBL had one he would have used it. He brought 2 of AQ Khan's men to Afghanistan to advise him how to build a nuke. He was most disappointed when told how difficult it was.

If nukes are available on the black market, how come Gadaffi and Saddam didn't buy a few?

#4  "Point where we would would wake up one morning to an Iran wid a nuclear weapon" >>>
(1) MY PARENTS' GENERATION + MY OWN > "URANIUM" WEAPON IS STILL CONSIDERED "NUCLEAR", as opposed to PLUTONIUM = THERMONUCLEAR; +
(2) BY the PRE-9-11 + espec POST 9-11 NEWS CLAIMS by the RUSSIANS, CHINA, FRENCH, BRITS, ISRAEL, + EAST EUROS > IRAN [+ OSAMA + NOKORS] DE FACTO EITHER ALREADY HAS, + LIKELY DOES HAVE, NUKE WEAPONS: +
(3) DITTO (1) for so-called "SUITCASE" BOMBS + TACNUKES + "DIRTY BOMBS", regardless of EXPLOSIVE YIELD.


In short, TECHNICALLY the US + World did indeed wake up to an Islamist Iran wid Nuclear Weapons.

D *** NG IT, CLEARLY WE NEED MICHELLE TO UNSHEATH HER "LECTURE FINGER(S)" TO ANSWER THE ANTIQUITIOUS QUESTION, "IS HALF-A-NUKE STILL A NUKE"???

#1  He is up to his ears in assumptions and bad judgment. If Iran has developed nuclear weapons because of his efforts to help them do so, then he should be held accountable along with them.
