    Bad move Obama. This was a chance to break the impasse over a faux fear of a nuclear weapon. Iran does not have such a weapon, has not tested such a weapon, no inspection has produced evidence of such a weapon or for that matter, any attempt to make one. All the ballyhoo about the centrifuges is crap. From what I understand those existing machines are not "fast" enough to do the proper enrichment for a nuclear weapon.

    So what is the threat from Iran? I think there is a lust for their oil, the same reason for the invasion off Iraq. Remember what a great thread Iraq was sold to the American public. Wasn't there was it.

    No it's the oil.

      Actually the plan was to keep the Iraqi oil OFF the market in order to improve the price of oil (Thank you Mr. Cheney.)When asked whether the access to Iraqi oil would permit the US to breakup the threat of OPEC, he responded: no the Saudis are our great friends.
      Iran, with ALL their technology produces less oil today than under the Shah. The also do not have the constructs to refine their own oil.
      Obviously their priorities are at aimed at improving the lives of the Iranians but to dominate the region and to promise a path to Paradise.

      As far as the ballyhoo about the centrifuges being crap, that is home (Iranian) grown.
