Or so said the Iranians. Now, it seems, they could have the Bomb by 2009.
Iran has more than tripled its ability to produce enriched uranium in the last three months, adding some 1,000 centrifuges which are used to separate radioactive particles from the raw material.
The development means Iran could have enough material for a nuclear bomb by 2009, sources familiar with the dramatic upgrade tell ABC News.
The sources say the unexpected expansion is taking place at Iran's nuclear enrichment plant outside the city of Natanz, in a hardened facility 70 feet underground.
Frankly, I'm surprised that anyone except a liberal would be surprised at this news. It's not like we haven't seen this sort of thing before (see North Korea). No, the left always wants diplomacy, diplomacy, diplomacy, sanctions, sanctions, talk, talk, talk until it is too late to do anything about some rogue state getting nuclear weapons. Then, of course, the left will blame George Bush for it.
But remember, America is more dangerous than Iran. Riiiight.
