Iran Closer To Nuclear Bomb Than World Realizes?

Monday January 16, 2012 Posted 4 months ago by Red Kingman

Maybe it's a surprise to the "world" but noit to this writer.  I have learned to take what the mainstream liberal media says with a grain of salt.  The fact of the matter is we have NO IDEA how close Iran is to having a nuclear bomb, but I would venture to say that they already possess one, but realize that having one bomb does NOT a nuclear power make! So I believe that they are building up a surplus in preparatiopn for war with...WHOMEVER!

A report that Iran is about a year away from having the capability to build a nuclear bomb may be too optimistic, contended John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.    “I worry the publicly available information is giving only a very small picture and that Iran is actually even much further along,” Bolton said today in a radio interview.

Bolton was on “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on New York’s WABC Radio. The former ambassador was asked about a statement from a former head of U.N. nuclear inspections claiming Iran is now just a year or so away from having enough enriched uranium to assemble a nuclear bomb.

Olli Heinonen wrote in an article published earlier this week that Iran made this advancement after switching production of its higher-grade enriched uranium to a new, underground site.  

 “So they’ve got more work to do, but they are already well on their way,” he said.  Reacting to the one-year timeline, Bolton stated, “I think it can be even less than that.” 

The interview can be listened to at the Klein Online website.

So does Iran already have a bomb, are they close to having one, or have sanctions crippled their program as some would like us to believe??
