IRANIAN THREAT: Iran Could Have Nukes By Mid-2009

For over 63 years the world has lived with the Nuclear threat. What kept the US and USSR from blowing us all to Kingdom Come was the fact of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction). Times have changed. Yes the Russians still have Nukes, and the Chinese have Nukes, but now it looks like Iran will have them. Not in 5 or 6 years as many in the Democratic Party have said, but in 1 year. Scared yet?

Israel now fears Iran could have nuclear bomb by mid-2009

By Yaakov Katz and Herb Keinon

With Iran racing forward with its nuclear program, Israel now believes the Islamic Republic will master centrifuge technology and be able to begin enriching uranium on a military scale this year, The Jerusalem Post has learned.

The new assessment moves up Israel's forecasts on Teheran's nuclear program by almost a full year - from 2009 to the end of 2008. According to the new timeline, Iran could have a nuclear weapon by the middle of next year.

Iran, a senior defense official said on Tuesday, had encountered numerous technical obstacles on its way to enriching uranium but was now on track to master the technology needed to enrich uranium within six months.

Israel is also concerned that Teheran is developing a cruise missile that can evade interception by the Arrow, the IDF's anti-ballistic missile defense system. Iran is suspected of having smuggled Ukrainian X-55 cruise missiles and using them as models for an independent, domestic project. A cruise missile, which flies at low altitudes to dodge radar detection and interception, could be used to carry a nuclear warhead.


For years Ahmadinejad has said that he would wipe Israel off the map. Now he might get his wish. Will we start seeing this over Tel Aviv, Haifa, or Jerusalem?


The time to strike is now, before he has nukes, before he can attack Israel, Europe and through second parties, the United States. How long must this go on before the Olmert government says: NO!

Begin had the courage to destroy Saddam's nuclear ambition. Last year the IAF stopped Syria's nuclear ambition. Now it is time to take out Iran's nuclear ambition. Take it out before an Israeli city looks like this:

And the people suffer this:

The world must act now! For the sake of the people of Israel and the world!
