Radical Muslim Nuclear Weapons
The measure of the threat is bound only by the adversaries willingness and ability. In the case of Radical Muslims, the willingness has never really been in question and is no longer in doubt since 9/11, but rather we have been protected by their ability to deliver a crushing blow. That is about to change.
Iran's recent financial pullout is a clear indicator that they have or will have nuclear weapons within months. Under what conditions might Iran transfer nuclear weapons to Al-Queida? If Iran had one weapon, would they transfer it to Al-Queida? Probably not. If they had 20 weapons, might they transfer 10 to Al-Queida? Probably.
"Iran is years away from the bomb." Oh really? It only took the US three years to develop the first bomb from scratch with the equivelent of a billion dollars, but no design, no assurance it would work and no computers. Iran has all of the above and more at its disposal. What genius thinks Iran can't build a nuclear weapon after ten or more years of developing thier expertise?
If Iran tested a nuclear weapon, would our government tell us? You tell us.
How long do we have? Let's Red Team it, shall we? When would be the best time to strike? When does our government gather together? At the next state of the union or perhaps at the innauguration 2008? |
