I have been reading more about Iran and their nuclear program and apparently they are very close to having a bomb. Whats more I found out they have been working on this for a while now, since between 1989 and 1991 when A. Q. Khan started giving them drawing and components of gas centrifuges. Iran is now through to be at just about the point of having a nuclear bomb. It they do not have a bomb by now they are almost certainly in the last stages of development, either 4 or 5, but may be having some problems. Nonetheless it is absolutely incredible the we have let them get that far. The process should have never even begun in Iran, but we have be ignoring them all this time and allowed them to obtain secrets of nuclear secrets. Apparently the process is this:

1.Get Uranium-Mind it mill it or get it given to you form another country, then soak it with sulfuric acid to leach out the more pure uranium

2.Make yellowcake-apparently they dry it then filter it into this powder that call yellowcake

3.Cook it- they put the uranium in with some fluoride gas heat to 133 degrees F and make it into uranium hexafluoride.

4.Spin it really fast- they spin it in a centrifuge at the speed of sound to sperate the out the unwanted U-238 on the outsides and allow the desirable and more fissionable U-235 to collect in the center.

5.Contiue-Spinning it until through a line of well over a thousand centrifuges until it reaches weapons grade of 90% pure. Interestingly enough only 20% pure uranium is called highly enriched, so weapons grade is super super enriched uranium.

6.Make it into powder again-they make the uranium into a uranium oxide and then mold into into a sphere which can weight up to 100 pounds usually, but only 40 or so is plenty. Then they place the nuclear warhead in the weapon and are in business.

How in the world we have allowed them to get down around stage 5 probably either spinning it or working out problems with their spinning. So now is the time to act. The author of the book I am reading seems to think that the time frame will be between April and September of this year, even though indications are they are still talking with Russia over a deal on enriched Uranium, although I believe they are now be forthright, and want Russia to help them develop some uranium in their country so they can secretly use it for warheads. We gave Israel the necessary weapons last year so they are more than likely ready to do something maybe even as early as next month here, depending upon what their intelligence is telling them, more than likely something drastic will have to be done before years end.

In addition, to Iran to worry about it has become clear that Russia is another country that we must worry about once again. I think too many people have this notion that Russia is our friend, and while that may be true to some extent, they are not a very good friend especially since they invited Hamas over, and are will more than likely be support Hamas. They have done this even though they know that we do not recognize Hamas as a legitimate government authority and will not unless they will recognize Israel’s right to a peaceful existence, and denounce terror. Hamas, so far, seems to have made it clear they will not negotiate with Israel, therefore how can we negotiate with them. We must keep our eyes on Russia though they are very dangerous especially since they are very loose with much old Soviet weaponry and knowledge, they have allowed far too much into the hands of terrorist already, and they seem to be poised to try and make some sort of a reappearance on the scene as a world power once again. Russia can and more than likely will be a large problem once again.
