So the IAEA, you know, the rather ineffectual bunch that Iran is talking about throwing out, has found traces of plutonium and highly enriched unranium.

Yep, they are the same folks who said there is nothing to fear and then said Israel must be disarmed. It's not a good scene. Iran is very dangerous.

It would be the U.S. Intelligence services that said Iran was 10 years away from a bomb, according to the Jerusalem Post the head of the IAEA said that Iran was 6 months away from a bomb (although I don't know how reliable this publication is). Check your info before you make misinformed posts. The IAEA are not nimrods in the slightest.

I did not post misinformation, I posted a question hence the "?"

I guess Hans Blix maybe wrong about the whole at least 5 year thing.

The IAEA are definitely not "Nimrods," since Nimrod was a mighty hunter and the IAEA clearly is neither mighty nor all that much of a hunter. The SNIE on Iran from 2005 suggested that they could have a working nuclear weapon as soon as this past March. The IAEA said they were years away. However, they frequently revise their estimates depending on their audience and really aren't so reliable.

The Jerusalem Post is generally very reliable. What article are you quoting?

A couple of months or a couple of years. They are still dangerous.

What about the Macintosh G4's, didn't they call them supercomputers back then? What a load of bull. Oh, no, you can't export PS3's, imagine what the terrorists will do with them? Perhaps blow off some steam while playing Xtreme Beach Volleyball??? Well, imagine that... :ninja:

North Korea and Iran are very different scenarios. No one has posited that Kim Jong Il is suicidal or messianic, while Ahminedhejad is clearly the latter and possibly the former. Both are dangerous threats. But Iran has a stated goal of annihilating another nation, North Korea does not. Iran is run by theocrats who very much want to engulf the world in a religious war. Kim Jong Il just wants more high heels. Well, and "unification" with the South, but mostly high heels and prestige.
