I doubt it.
I heard on the news this morning on my drive home that Iran is closer to making weapons grade uranium than anyone thought!
Obama got his ducks in a row by canceling a missle defense shield that didn't work and could some day be accomplished cheaper, now those concessions are paying off against Iran...
Iran Is Warned Over Nuclear ‘Deception’
PITTSBURGH — President Obama and the leaders of Britain and France accused Iran on Friday of building a secret underground plant to manufacture nuclear fuel, saying the country has hidden the covert operation from international weapons inspectors for years.
Appearing before reporters in Pittsburgh, Mr. Obama said that the Iranian nuclear program “represents a direct challenge to the basic foundation of the nonproliferation regime.” President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, appearing beside Mr. Obama, said that Iran had a deadline of two months to comply with international demands or face increased sanctions
“The level of deception by the Iranian government, and the scale of what we believe is the breach of international commitments, will shock and anger the entire international community,” Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain said, standing beside Mr. Obama and Mr. Sarkozy. “The international community has no choice today but to draw a line in the sand.”
The extraordinary and hastily arranged joint appearance by the three leaders — and Mr. Obama said that Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany had asked him to convey that she stood with them as well — adds urgency to the diplomatic confrontation with Iran over its suspected ambition to build a nuclear weapons capacity. The three men demanded that Iran allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to conduct an immediate inspection of the facility, which is said to be 100 miles southwest of Tehran, near the holy city of Qum.
I doubt it.

Mutual Assured Destruction better keep the Iranians peaceful.
I don't even want to think about the consequence of Israel hitting Iran. It won't be as simple as Israel hitting Saddam's Osirak.
And how do they know that?
Maybe their thinking is wrong now.
Boy, you are even dumber than I thought. Notice it was just the US, Britain, and France. Nowhere is there a Soviet quid quo pro (much less China) to join in this little slap on the wrist.
I never thought I'd see the day when the French president made our own look weak.
How'd Sarko do that?
He gave Accchhkkkkkasdmflakjsdflajsdlfkjjad a deadline.
Should I draw you a map?
Kremlin quickly joined in denouncing the deception:
MSNBC
Iran's construction of a uranium enrichment plant violates decisions of the United Nations Security Council. The International Atomic Energy Agency must investigate this site immediately, and Iran must cooperate with this investigation. Russia will assist in this investigation by any available means. Russia remains committed to a dialogue with Iran on the nuclear issue, and urges Iran to provide proof of its commitment to a peaceful nuclear program by the October 1 meeting of the P5-plus-1.
In a joint announcement Sarko got to play tough. Behind the scenes, he plays the good cop.
You're not really too familiar with this issue, are you D?
I thought that was one of the most politically astute moves Obama has made yet. The result, Russia moves into our backcourt for a change. Very savy.![]()
At first I was trying to knock things off the bucket list before 2012.
Now it's before Iran - Israel WWIII.
LOL @ you gentlemen thinking Russian WORDS are going to change anything. Iran is one of their main arms consumers.
Neville, Neville, paging Neville?
Uh wtf? I think you mean enough material for a weapon. They have enrichment technology, it just requires a massive contribution and time to reach weapons grade enrichment and amount.
Theoretically, they could have had it last year (oct 08) if they lined up their ducks. However, they toss away a lot of energy possibilities and money with it.
That's factual information. ^ notice my label, I didn't pick that for any reason. I know what I'm talking about.
Russia will sell to anyone who pays. Mostly those who get turned down by other means.
It's been rumored that Obama is planning on using his OUTDOOR voice on Iran.
I know. He's not willing to use the same voice he scolds his daughters with.
He's going to give them a stern "talking to", without preconditions.
The game has changed, Darrin. The Iranians got caught with their hands in the cookie jar. That's why they tried to beat Obama to the punch this morning.
If the pleasant sounds coming from the Russians and the Chinese turn out to be anything more than noise (a very big if admittedly), the Iranians could have to agree to very intrusive monitoring, or face the "crippling" sanctions HRC already promised them.
what do you suggest, choo choo? that we give them more missles?
Darrin characterizes an ad hoc, pants-down spanking of Iran at the G-20 as Presidential weakness. Classic.
You know, this all sounds good but, I think Obama would be a whole of lot more credible if he hadn't been sucking Ahmadinejad's for the past year.
