There's been a lot of talk about Joe
Biden and the weird laughs, smirks, and interruptions at the Vice Presidential debate. But what he had to say
about Iran was chilling.
To a question about the
Administration's willingness to stop the Tehran regime from going nuclear, he
said what matters isn't Iran's ability to enrich uranium to weapons grade. It's
whether it can build and deliver a bomb. His claim is that Iran has no way to
send the bomb to a target and that we should all "calm down a little bit
here."
In other words, Iran may have made
progress toward enriching enough uranium to sufficient strength to build a bomb
in the past four years, but that's immaterial. Based on the Vice President's
intelligence, Iran isn't close to getting the trigger mechanism, missiles and
all the other things needed to deploy a weapon. So don't worry, be happy.
But the reality is far more grim. Enrichment
is the hardest thing about building a bomb. Iran has in any case worked to
develop missiles and triggers with help from Russians, North Koreans and
others. So, it looks like the Obama
Administration now has a new red line on Iran. The mullahs can enrich as much
uranium as they wish as long as they "don't have something to put it
in."
Wow, this is frightening. Once the
crazies in Iran has the enriched uranium, they can get a delivery system in no
time. We can't afford to see this scenario played out. Others in the Mideast
will want their bomb too. Can you imagine a group of Arab countries with nuclear
capabilities?
That's no laughing matter, Joe.
