#1 When was the last time "US agencies" were right?

#2 I'll take "Mossad's 15 days" for $600. Alex.

#3
15 to 365+ days.
Either way, any day that these murderous Islamic Radicals, with their openly stated and aggressive agenda, acquire a Nuke (Clean or Dirty), it is 1 day too soon.

BTW: Remember when the USSR broke up, they lost a bunch of nukes (100). Of which 18 were highly enriched uranium hand-carry nukes, that a suicide bomber could carry. I wonder who has them and if IRAN could buy one?

#4 We're already planning first use of nuclear weapons against this facility. It's so deep it's proof against bunker busters.

#7 '15 days' and 'up to a year' are both logically equivalent.

#8 Tulsi Gabbard reversed course and admitted that Iran actually does have the ability to create nuclear weapons after a public rebuke by her boss Donald Trump as Israel continues to wage war against the country.

#9 It’s my understanding that underground nuclear tests were 300 meters deep to preclude the explosion significantly breaking the surface. That suggests a greater kiloton bomb would need to be used to reach 300 meters deep (although collapsing the deep tunnels may be possible). A surface blast would create significant fallout. What direction is the wind blowing in 2 weeks?

#10 There's no need for a nuke. Yes, one might not reach it. But after the first 10 hit the same tiny bit of real estate, I'll wager that it won't take but a few more to either crush the bunker or punch through it. There's no rush. Use of laser painting is possible. We have at least 20, possibly far more. Eventually, they'll get through. You can also increase penetration by having B-1B's or B-52's break up the ground over the target.

#11 The obvious question is, Who cares? They have played this almost pregnant game for decades, all with heavily paid expert voices declaring, 'Now we must take them seriously.'

OK, I'm game. They want to be taken for big kids because they could very well have a weapon...as far as we know. All while sponsoring every imaginable act of barbarity on a global basis. That doesn't work for Western Civilization.

Again, Who cares what these religiously sanctioned liars have to say about anything? This isn't the way anybody handles an internal energy source and the country flares enough gas to light it up like Times Square.

So it's like this, now and for a limited time only, Surrender. Unconditionally and immediately. The time to pretend these prehensile barbarians are capable of more than 7th century behavior is over.
