Iran And The Bomb

Iran now has enough nuclear material for one atomic bomb.

That's a statement from the U.N., which is hopelessly optimistic about these dictators not having such weapons. So, all that's left is the finishing part of the process which would actually make the material into the bomb itself.

In related news, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has admitted that diplomacy ain't gonna' cut it:

The Obama administration has already concluded that a diplomatic overture to Iran, one of the central promises of the president’s election campaign, is unlikely to persuade Tehran to give up its nuclear ambitions.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told the foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates in a private meeting Monday that it is “very doubtful” a U.S. approach will persuade Iran to relent, said a senior State Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity under customary diplomatic rules.

Oh, wait, really? 'Cause that's what the Right has been saying for years...! I guess Obama's declaration of negotiations with Iran backed up with the threat of even tougher negotiations with Iran wasn't really that effective after all. Too bad someone's going to get nuked for his naivete.

There's my two cents.
