The Time is Now


"Iran's nuclear chief said his country has produced and stored 250 tons of the gas used as the feedstock for uranium enrichment, state-run television reported Friday.
Vice President Gholamreza Aghazadeh, who is also the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said Iran has kept the uranium hexaflouride gas, or UF-6, in underground tunnels at a nuclear facility in Isfahan to protect it from any possible attack.
Today, we have produced more than 250 tons of UF-6. Should you visit Isfahan, you will see we have constructed tunnels that are almost unique in the world," State-run television quoted Aghazadeh as saying...."Enemies have assumed that they can prevent the progress of the Iranian nation through psychological war and issuing resolutions, but they will be defeated," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying on state-run TV.

"An American intelligence official said the new material, which has been authenticated within the intelligence community, confirms "that Iran is working closely with both the Shiite militias and Sunni Jihadist groups." The source was careful to stress that the Iranian plans do not extend to cooperation with Baathist groups fighting the government in Baghdad, and said the documents rather show how the Quds Force — the arm of Iran's revolutionary guard that supports Shiite Hezbollah, Sunni Hamas, and Shiite death squads — is working with individuals affiliated with Al Qaeda in Iraq and Ansar al-Sunna."

The two pieces quoted above come from"Jihad Watch", and they reinforce my previous blog that stated we cannot afford to dither away our opportunity to destroy Irans' capacity to build a nuclear bomb. If it takes a nuclear bomb to do it. Let it happen before they have built the facility so deep in the ground that it is nuclear proof. The Iranians are fomenting the violence of the "insurgents" in Iraq, and are participating in the street bombing and attacks on both the U.S. military and Iraqi civilians.

We must not let the power of the leftist press and those who would like to see us loose another war deter our attack on the identified treat that Iran presents to our way of life and the stability of the Middle East. The longer we wait the stronger they get, and the weaker we become.
