The Iran nukes intelligence fumble: where are the rolling heads? Is there another Philip Agee?

Let’s just roll out the facts, and see what you think.

Start with the UN report

1 — The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has just confirmed the long widespread knowledge that Iran has been trying to build nuclear weapons.

2 — The report contains considerable detail regarding procurement, acquisition of development information, including an underground nuclear supply network, and Iran’s “activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device.”

3 — By no means are we talking here about something way off in the future. The Institute for Science and International Security reports, “Starting in 2012, Iran seems poised to install up to a thousand advanced centrifuges” — indicating that sanctions against the Iranian regime by the current Obama administration are not working.

Play kissyface?

4 — President Obama nonetheless has insisted that “if we show ourselves willing to talk and to offer carrots and sticks in order to deal with these pressing problems, and if Iran then rejects any overtures of that sort, it puts us in a stronger position to mobilize the international community to ratchet up the pressure on Iran.”

Israel at the Rubicon

Once again, President Barack Hussein Obama has failed to lead.  While his narcissism lead him to think he could negotiate with people who’s sworn goal is to blow Israel off the map and bring down the United States of America. Aren’t we happy that we have such lack of leadership in the White House.

On 15 August 2010: After years of endless debate, delayed decisions, additional deliberations, bald-faced lies and disinformation, followed by economic sanctions packages piled upon other ineffective economic sanctions packages, coupled with incessant Iranian and Western bellicose rhetoric which would have been considered casus belli in years gone by, the announcement made on Friday by Sergei Novikov, the spokesman for the Russian Federal Atomic Energy Agency (Rosatom), that the fueling of the Iranian Bushehr nuclear plant will commence on Saturday, 21 August has left the State of Israel standing on the southern bank of a literal River Rubicon.

In the absense of a decision by Western governments, the United States of America in particular, to back up its own rhetoric with concrete actions, Israel has been left holding the baggage containing approximately 144 hours of time. At the conclusion of those 144 hours it will have become irreversibly too late for military action to halt Iran and its current apocalyptic regime’s nuclear weapons program. This is the conventional wisdom being related by many subject matter experts in the past 36 hours, experts such as former Ambassador John Bolton. Bolton’s comments to FoxNews last Friday speak of just such a window of time remaining.
