All they need is one aimed right at Israel<\/a>. Just in time for President-elect Obama. How will he handle it? And will Israel do a preemptive strike before Obama takes office or wait until they see how he handles the situation?<\/p>\n

Iran has now produced roughly enough nuclear material to make, with added purification, a single atom bomb, according to nuclear experts analyzing the latest report from global atomic inspectors.
\nThe figures detailing Iran’s progress were contained in a routine update on Wednesday from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which has been conducting inspections of the country’s main nuclear plant at Natanz. The report concluded that as of early this month, Iran had made 630 kilograms, or about 1,390 pounds, of low-enriched uranium.
\nSeveral experts said that was enough for a bomb, but they cautioned that the milestone was mostly symbolic, because Iran would have to take additional steps. Not only would it have to breach its international agreements and kick out the inspectors, but it would also have to further purify the fuel and put it into a warhead design — a technical advance that Western experts are unsure Iran has yet achieved. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If I were Israel, I wouldn’t take the chance that Obama will do anything. I’d take the hit and then clean up the diplomatic mess afterward. What could the world do? Condemn the actions but secretly be happy that someone took action against the madmen with the bomb. Though, I don’t think Israel probably has the capability or will to do it. It wouldn’t be easy and would involve getting hit from Hezbollah and Hamas as well as Iran after they did it. They’re toast no matter what they do.
