Iran may be close to a plutonium bomb, German defense experts warn

Iran may be close to a plutonium bomb, German defense experts warn. “The IAEA reported that Iran removed fuel rods from the Bushehr light water reactor… ‘it may… mean the starting-point for production of weapons-grade plutonium. That would mean a dramatic expansion and acceleration of Iran’s nuclear armaments program…'” In other news, obscure filmmakers all over the US are suddenly hiring lawyers…

  • MEANWHILE... Let's make more fun of Bebe Netanyahu for drawing a bomb caricature and pointing to it and all of that. That is more mortifying than Iran "let's nuke and push Israel to the ocean" getting their hands on weapons of mass destruction.

  • I think the best thing that could happen would be Mookmood Istolemyjob pushing the button for a "test" and most of Iran disappeared into dust.

    • Muckmoooooood Imadouchebag needs to be taken out of office by any means necessary, he's a freaking nutcase, and acts like he's on LSD 1/2 the time.

      • Where the marines at? where the seals at? that is their job that is what they are supposed to do... am I wrong?

        • I guess so. In 79, the Islamic Republic of Iran was born when Carter punked the Shaw. Then in 2009, Obama punked the Green Revolution when they were marching in the streets...

          ...& these are the younger people who want freedom in Iran. I know a few younger Iranians & they have no love for the gov't their families fled back home.

      • Israel will do the deed, & then we will all get to see if the Obama regime will do the right thing & back Israel. Or does the regime join the UN, the muslim brotherhood, hamas, hezbolah, Al-Jazerra, & our domestic asshats like Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brezezinski(Mika's old man), & the Jewish nazi collaborator Goerge Schwartz, aka George Soros in throwing Israel under the bus. I also don't think the timing of of the exhumation of the dead piece of sh!t PLO leader Yasser Arafat, aka in Arabic: ياسر عرفات‎. The conspiracy theorist in the middle east, which is about 4/5 of them, believe the Jews killed Arafat. It's a diversion people, look at this shiny object while you don't pay attention to what's really going on.

  • We could have really put an end to this before it got to this point, but nooooooo, this is what happens when you elect a racist community organizer with no gonads to be "Leader of the free world"

  • So when they finally tie the knot, as far as their nuclear program is concerned and they can finally mass produce enough enriched plutonium or uranium, or whatever, who will they want to waist it on first, us, the UN, or israel?

  • The Mayan 'end of the world' is Dec. 21, 2012. The last day a deal can be reached for the fiscal cliff is Dec. 21, 2012 at midnight. Ironic.
