"IAEA chairman Muhammad ElBaradei on Monday confirmed Israel's assessment that Iran is only a few months away from creating an atomic bomb.
If Teheran indeed resumed its uranium enrichment in other plants, as threatened, it will take it only "a few months" to produce a nuclear bomb, El-Baradei told The Independent.
On the other hand, he warned, any attempt to resolve the crisis by non-diplomatic means would "open a Pandora's box. There would be efforts to isolate Iran; Iran would retaliate; and at the end of the day you have to go back to the negotiating table to find the solution."
"Find a solution"? There may be only one solution; strategically and surgically take out Iran's nuclear bomb capabilities.
If ElBaradei is correct and Iran is only a few months away from developing an atomic bomb look for Bush to bomb the hell out of Iran by early spring.
Unlike when Israel took out Iraq's nuclear plant back in
1981, the Iranians have been wise enough to spread their nuclear facilities out across their country, so bombing them will involve multiple targets. We will certainly take out the reactors in Bushehr and Ahvaz as well as the plant in Esfahan that converts uranium ore into fuel.
No 'boots on the ground' needed. Just the U.S. Air Force and a some assistance from the Navy's cruise missiles will get the job done.
Might as well do it now. Get it done.
