US intelligence: Iran will be able to build first nuclear bomb by February 2009


DEBKAfile Exclusive Report

October 21, 2008, 1:06 PM (GMT+02:00)

US intelligence’s amended estimate, that Iran will be ready to build its first bomb just one month after the next US president is sworn in, is disclosed by DEBKAfile’s Washington sources as having been relayed as a guideline to the Middle East teams of both presidential candidates, Senators John McCain and Barack Obama.

[b]The information prompted the assertion by Democratic vice presidential nominee Joseph Biden in Seattle Sunday, Oct. 19: “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.â€

Yea, I believe that. They'll have 1 an Israel has 1,000. I'm sure they will attack immediately. If this isn't the groundwork for a falseflag operation, I don't know what is. It's those invisible WMD's in Iraq that we have to worry about.

BTW I'll be a billionaire by March '09. Right !!

[quote]McCain retorted Tuesday, Oct. 21: “America does not need a president that needs to be tested. I’ve been tested. I was aboard the Enterprise off the coast of Cuba. I’ve been there.â€

The question is are they gonna blow up the US the UK or Israel. Or are we going to strike first?

No but they could give one down the line to a terrorist and walk it right across our boarder. Which is right where my daughter goes to school.

93camaro, the question is why would they want to blow up anyone? and get their own butts blow to hell also. As far as suitcase bombs are concerned, there are supposedly plenty of them out their already. This country lives on war. We need to get away from that, the sooner the better.

You really think that they care about going down? I think that they will make a bomb to use it against what they call "The Stinking Corpse that is Israel" and their allies.They are motivated by religious beliefs, so to them in their minds they are doing good and its OK to sacrifice themselves to attain their goals.

I think the real threat is the leader of Iran Ahmadinejad. This mayor of Tehran, while little is known about him, sounds like a more rational leader than the one they have now.



Tehran mayor backs talks with US

Tokyo (AFP) Oct 17, 2008


The mayor of Tehran, a possible contender for the Iranian presidency, said Friday his country would welcome talks with the United States as supported by White House contender Barack Obama.
Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, a harsh critic of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, expressed hope that Obama would make good on calls to hold dialogue with Iran should the Democrat win the November 4 election.

"Senator Obama said in his presidential campaign that he would like to have such a relationship," Qalibaf said.

The mayor said any talks must be to the mutual benefit of the two countries and "without any sense of pressure."

"I think the world community, the Iranian society and the US society would benefit" from such talks, he told reporters during a visit to Tokyo at the invitation of the Japanese government.

Obama has said Washington must engage in "tough, direct diplomacy" with Iran, but that as president he would have the right "to meet with anybody at a time and place of my choosing if I think it's going to keep America safe."

His approach contrasts with the current hardline US policies. President George W. Bush famously named Iran as a part of an "axis of evil". An escalating nuclear standoff between Iran and the West and inflammatory rhetoric from Ahmadinejad has only deepened the hostility.

Qalibaf, seen as a contender for next year's presidential election, pressed Washington to withdraw troops from Iraq and said that "superpowers" must acknowledge an Iranian role in bringing stability to the Middle East.

Iran, once Israel's close ally, has been its outspoken foe since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Echoing other Iranian leaders, Qalibaf called for a country encompassing both Israel and the Palestinian territories to replace the Jewish state.

"Muslims, Christians, and Jews... must be allowed to return to their own land and, through a democratic and free election, choose the type of government they would like to have," he said.

He also defended Iran's nuclear programme, saying it is within the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

"I think we should be worried about those countries that are not members of (the) IAEA and possess atomic weapons," he said in likely reference to Israel.

"I think Iran should continue with its nuclear activities. But I think it should do the best to have complete confidence building measures through supervision of the IAEA," he said.

Qalibaf, who unsuccessfully ran for president in 2005, is also considered a conservative but has become a critic of Ahmadinejad and his foreign policy.

The mayor said the next Iranian leader should focus improving lives for ordinary people.

"I believe the next administration, no matter who comes to power, should pay attention to economic and development issues in such ways so that we will have comprehensive development of our country," he said.
