    two things

    there are two things never said about iran

    a: are they enriching the material to the 97% necessary for munitions quality or to the 3% necessary for civilian power needs

    b: how a certain presidentential directive allowed the transfer of the nuclear technology in the first place (bonus points on who the def sec and chief of staff at the time were)

    if they are making highly enriched material, book 'em danno, if they are breaking iaea or non-proflif rules, have the Un pass a sanctions bill, if american companies were excluded from the contruction bids, have congress send a sternly worded letter, maybe the cia can stage something where the democratically (ha!) elected president is replaced by a more western friendly ruler, nothing bad could happen, right ??
