All of the other blather is pure misdirection.

Duh!

Without a doubt, Hagel was persuaded by policy experts within the Pentagon that a nuclear Iran would be a total nightmare for the West.

BTW, Putin’s experts are giving the Iranians poisoned advice. Moscow doesn’t actually want an Iranian nuke, either. Putin does want the cash flow.

There are a million ways to go ‘off track’ with uranium enrichment. It’s obvious by the delays and tempo that many, many, things have ‘gone wrong’ with the Iranian program.

Famously, Clinton tried to provide Tehran with poisoned advice. Russian experts immediately corrected the American boob-design — a fact that too soon became public knowledge.

This event tells us that Putin has been running a program that’s too clever by more than half.

Between the blabby Internet, the power of modern personal computers, and the exposure of Manhattan project secrets during the Clinton era — we should be very, very, afraid.

There can be no doubt that Tehran is engaged a ballistic missile program that REQUIRES implosion warheads.

Yet the MSM STILL blathers on about gun-type uranium bombs.

There is not one chance in a hundred that Tehran ever intends to construct a gun-type uranium weapon.

The 5% threshold is a complete technical dodge, too.

As ANY industrial chemist/ chemical engineer could tell you, going from 0.70% up to 5.00% constitutes 80% of the effort required to make bomb grade, highly enriched uranium, — suitable for a bomb better than Little Boy.

5.0% enrichment does make the construction of a CONVERTER REACTOR a walk in the park. At such enrichments, one does NOT need a large facility to convert U238 up into Pu239. You can stick such a converter underneath virtually ANY substantial building. No-one would ever be the wiser. The amount of equipment, manpower and material would be trivially modest.

Likewise, a deuterium converter reactor can be made trivially small.

All such weapons oriented facilities don’t need huge heat exchange dumps. They run at low specific power — quite unlike a power reactor.

In sum: virtually EVERTHING the maladministration is pitching to the public and to foreign governments is bunkum — and obviously so.

I should think that Barry is now at the classic 6th year tyranny stage… as in going totally off the rails.

Boy, I hope that I live long enough to see all the tell-all, covering-my-*ss with this administration accounts to come out. I just hope that it’s not too late to recover from all the damage that they will be excusing themselves from causing.

So the Red Queen has ordered his head struck off. Neo, you were right: these two years are going to be just a little Too Interesting.
