"It's late in the game, and we don't have a lot of time."

Manhattan District Attorney and legendary Democrat Robert Morgenthau has confirmed beyond doubt Iranian intentions with respect to development of THE BOMB (the story was first covered here).

" . . . we have consulted with top experts in the field from MIT and from private industry and from the CIA. . . . Frankly, some of the people we've consulted are shocked by the sophistication of the equipment they're buying."

Apparently, the Foreign Relations Committee, chaired by John Kerry, concurs. Again, they have a timetable that says Iran is 6 months away from having enough material for a bomb. Actually, assuming 19.9 kg of U-235 on hand as of November 17, 2008, a requirement of 21.6 kg for a first bomb, and a production rate of 1.6 kg of U-235 each month, Iran would have had enough in December 2008. The weaponization of that U-235 should be just about complete.
