Obama's Legacy
Dan from New York:
Fellow over at the Weekly Standard asks a good question: "Why is Iran pumping billions more into building and protecting triple the number of facilities required to build a basic nuclear weapon, akin to the Fat Man or Little Boy bombs detonated in 1945?"
Then answers it:
Iran Could be Developing Hydrogen Bomb
At the rate we're going, Obama will not be remembered as the man who suffocated our children under a mountain of debt, attempted to turn us into a socialist state, lost the war in Afghanistan or governed ineptly.
He will remembered as the last man on earth who could have stood in the way of evil obtaining the means to destroy us, and he chose to stand aside.
I don't think that's completely true. I think that Israel will stop Iran before they have the capacity.
ReplyDeleteBut you are right about Obama's incompetence. Unfortunately, I don't really think his opponent in 2008 had the jones to really stop Iran either.
One analysis of the outcome of a nuclear exchange between Iran and Israel had a lot more Iranians dying and Iran generally getting the worst of it.
ReplyDeleteThat analysis was predicated on Iran having 20 kT fission weapons and Israel having thermonuclear weapons.
Assume Iran has a 25 MT hydrogen weapon and the calculus changes to Israel's disadvantage strategicly.
