Who Are We SupposedTo Believe??

[Thorne]

Top Rnking Officlas at the Pentagon and Defense Departmnt said Yesterday (Feb 28,2009) that Iran has enough Fossel Fuel and could make a Nuclear bomb in a matter of months

Today, March 1st, 2009, Secretry Of Defense Robert Gtes said "They are no where near ready to make a Nuclear Bomb,they do not have enough fossel fuel??
Who do we believe??
How can ther by such a drastic difference of opnion between the Defense Department, The Pentagon and Secretary Of Defense Gates??

I think you mean fissile (fission?) fuel? Fossil fuels are oil and coal, not nuclear.

I tend to doubt any government pronouncements by default, so it really doesn't matter which one you believe. The thing to remember is that any nation which even tries to launch a nuclear attack is liable to be nuked back to the stone age by any number of other nuclear powers, and it's unlikely that anyone would complain too loudly. And if they sell the bombs to terrorists they risk similar sanctions. It's relatively easy to determine where the material for a nuclear weapon came from (compared to actually making a bomb, that is.)
