Jul. 10, 2007 0:47 | Updated Jul. 10, 2007 8:36 'Time running out for Iran strike' By YAAKOV KATZ Predicting that sanctions will ultimately fail to stop Teheran's nuclear program, Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, former head of Military Intelligence's Research Division, told The Jerusalem Post on Monday that time to launch an effective military strike against Iran's nuclear installations was running out. According to Kuperwasser, who stepped down from his post last year, Iran is "very close" to the point that it will cross the technological threshold and have the capability to enrich uranium at an industrial level. Once they master the technology, the Iranians will have the ability to manufacture a nuclear device within two to three years, he added. "The program's vulnerability to a military operation is diminishing as time passes," Kuperwasser said, "and they are very close to the point that they will be able to enrich uranium at an industrial level." www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1183980036210&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

As far as I'm concerned, this degree of "threat" does not justify any U.S. military action. "A nuclear device within two to three years" is not even in the same league as the threat of a nuclear holocaust- A threat we lived with daily for almost 30 years. If a potentially world-ending threat like a nuclear holocaust didn't rate a "pre-emptive strike," then the risk of a couple of nuclear devices 2-3 years down the road certainly doesn't either. A much bigger threat is the nut-job in the White House, who has control of the world's largest military, including an extensive nuclear arsenal.

Totally agree on the above statements. I sometimes wonder who is the bigger threat to world stability: G.W.B or Iran. hmmm..

Nuclear Pakistan is one assasination away from revolution, anarchy, or al Quaeda control. That's the one that worrries me.
