8 days till Iran has "The Bomb"...

[originalpckelly]

Let's start the countdown until Iran has a nuclear weapon. Remember what they said, "Iran could have a nuclear within 16 days." Well that was on Apr. 12, today is one week later (plus today) so they have only 8 days until the Iranians have "The Bomb!"

April 12 (Bloomberg) -- Iran, defying United Nations Security Council demands to halt its nuclear program, may be capable of making a nuclear bomb within 16 days, a U.S. State Department official said.

Iran will move to "industrial scale" uranium enrichment involving 54,000 centrifuges at its Natanz plant, the Associated Press quoted deputy nuclear chief Mohammad Saeedi as telling state-run television today.

1. I thought it was 45 minutes... oh wait....

[mmonk]

12. Same thing

wrong "imminent threat". It will be 45 minutes in 8 days. More mushroom clouds soon. I'll check with Condi and let you know.

2. we will be greeted as liberators in IRAqN

3. Last I heard they had 160 centrifuges....where'd they get 53,840

in the last few weeks?

[Justice Is Comin]

8. They only really need 1,500

to make one nuclear bomb. Oh, and then the ability to take it from 12% enrichment to 99% pure. Of course nothing they couldn't accomplish in a week. :rofl:

Bush why don't you go into the diamond business too. I hear there's a lot of charcoal.

10. There is a company that makes gem-quality diamonds, in sizes to

two carets: Gemesis (www.gemesis.com).

4. And the week after they will send a man on the moon.

5. I don't think you realize...

The Ministry of Truth corrected that. The fact that Iran had 164 centrifuges is now an UNFACT! Just like the WMDs are now an UNFACT!

6. Okay who sold them all the centrifuges since last week......

they can't possible enrich enough with the equipment they presently have.

7. Is making a nuclear weapon like making sourdough starter?

Seems like about the same time period. Well, okay, you can have fermented sourdough starter a little faster, but not by much.

As Emily Litella would day, "Nevermind."

9. New moon in 8 days = convenient assault (n/t)

11. If the wanted one, they could probably buy in on the black

market. (The very area of V. Plame's work that now has been stopped.)
