#2 Iran has been "months from a bomb" for a decade at least. I think they long since have it. What we see is Kabuki merely.

#3 I just made a comment and it went up over the name Kojo Grath1386. But I am TopRev. What happened? I am using Chrome, usually use Safari, if that makes a difference.

#5 Kojo or whatever your name is/was, the only reason I doubt the Iranians have the bomb already is that it has not been used on us.

The Iranians are not stupid, fanatical yes, stupid no, they understand prevailing winds and fallout and know a nuke launched at Tel Aviv will result in a radioactive plume coming down on themselves.

The only and I mean ONLY logical target of an Iranian nuke is US.

The real Kabuki theater is them pretending to develop an ICBM to deliver the nuke to us. I believe they have developed a means of delivering the nuke to our country through Central American based upon their minions development of close ties with the Mexican cartels.

I believe and I hope I am wrong that a city in the US will disappear within months of Iran having the bomb...provided ISIS doesn't get their hands on a Pakistani one via ISI and the crazy crap tin hats in charge in Pakistain.

#6 Bill and Kojo: the reason Tehran wants a bomb is simple. They will use it to 1) threaten their neighbors and change the behavior of those states towards them and 2) deter the U.S. from bothering them.

People may not remember that while our nuclear weapons deterred the Soviets, their weapons also deterred us. Iran would count on their weapons stopping us from doing certain things in the region that we otherwise would do.

Their weapons would have a substantial effect on the behavior of the small Gulf states. Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, etc, would have to kowtow more to the Mad Mullahs™. The consequences of not doing so would be quite bad. The Saudis would either get nuclear weapons themselves or likewise be put into a compromised situation.

Let Iran possess nuclear weapons and the Middle East becomes more to Iran's liking.

#8 The Senate must make it clear to O&Co that his negotiations with the MMs are going to go nowhere. His negotiations are just Kabuki theatre to enable the MMs to have the time to further U235 concentrating.

Time to call the process what it is and to neutralize the present er president from selling the U.S. and the rest of civilization down the river.
