I am pretty sure most intelligent people understood he was saying they are accelerating their drive for nuclear weapons. I am gald Joe Biden, you and these two brilliant people think that is so funny. Amazing truly amazing. Instead of worrying about a rouge Islamic state that has vowed to nuke Isreal off theface of the earth as soon as it gets weapon, you laugh and smirk.

""""According to the IAEA, Iran doubled its capacity to enrich uranium to 20% purity at Fordow over the past three months. The number of centrifuges deployed there has risen to 2,140 from 1,064 in May, though most of the machines have yet to begin purifying uranium gas, the report said."

Yeah, because talking out of your ####### but with confidence and conviction is all it takes for RWN's to buy the BS the Romney ticket is feeding them.

Except, Iran has never stated that, rather they have been calling for a regime change...a removal of the "zionist regime".

Welcome to Bullsh!t Mountain.

So you are denying that Iran has accelerated it production of Nuclear material that can be used in a bomb.Because if you are you are wrong.

Ahmadinejad has repeatedly said he would wipe Israel off the map. You are in denial Ahmadinejad is a first class wing nut, with roots in the Islamic brotherhood. He would Nuke Israel in a heart beat.

Doesn't work that way. A youtube video translated from another language into English without being properly sourced doesn't prove he said anything. You would need a transcript translated by a disinterested third party, that explains all the nuisances and ambiguities in the translation.

Everything Ahmedinejad says is a nuisance - with not a trace of nuance to be found.

LOl your right if I was in a fricking court room. This is politics forum with a bunch of bored blowhards that pontificate and obfuscate daily. Some of you take this way way too seriously.

When you accuse someone of saying something, you need to be sure of your facts. Wars have begun for less.

So now a war could erupt from a quote you dont agree with in an obscure political chat board frequented by a bunch of windbags married to immigrants , of which I am one, . Come on dude. Don't you think think that's just a little dramatic.

I mean if I was the president threatening war against another nation.

I can see the headline RHR triggers thermonuclear war for falsely accusing Ahmadinejhad of wanting to see the destruction of Israel.

Its pretty obvious to me they want the Jewish state to collapse or be destroyed, but thats different than using a nuclear weapon to destroy Israel. In most of that video they are refering to the "regime" and the use of proxies to destroy the state of Israel. Look at this way, if a piece of land is so important to a particular cause why would you ruin it for decades or centuries.

As to the whole idea of thermonuclear war.....well they are even further from developing thermonuclear weapons. It took the US 7 years to develop and test their first thermonuclear AFTER the use of Little Boy.

At this point in time, the West (and Israel) have far more to fear from small terrorist groups obtaining left over material from Russia and creating a small gun device similar to Little Boy. I agree that Iran should either have a fully transparent nuclear program or none at all but it seems that the embargos are working.

Both quotes in that graphic have technical errors and gross oversimplifications, but the bottom one is so wrong it's probably fake. Nuclear professionals wouldn't make the mistakes that quote does. Centrifuges are not spun "to make fission occur". That's ridiculous bs. Nuclear reactors don't work that way, and even if they did, that would have nothing whatsoever to do with the manufacturing of nuclear weapons.

There are several different kinds of uranium that occur in nature. They are all uranium, but some kinds have more neutrons in their atomic nuclei than others. When you want to make a nuclear bomb, you need large amounts of extremely pure uranium of a very specific kind, with a very specific number of neutrons. If you have uranium atoms mixed in with the wrong number of neutrons, your nuke won't explode. So it is very important to separate your uranium into the different kinds, so you only use the right kind in your bomb. Centrifuges are used to purify the uranium and sort it into the different kinds, so you can make sure that you're using only the right kind in your bomb, and that there isn't any other kind mixed in there. a single centrifuge can only sort a very tiny quantity or uranium, and needs to run for months or years continuously to do so, which is why uranium purification facilities run literally thousands of centrifuges.

So the bottom quote is silly. I don't know what they think Iran is using centrifuges for, and it's pretty obvious they don't know what centrifuges are for.

Now Ryan's quote is also, at the very least, badly oversimplified on the technical points. It is true that running a centrifuge faster will purify the uranium faster, and get you the necessary quantity of pure uranium to build a bomb that much quicker. However, the bottom quote is correct, at least in this area - centrifuges are designed to run at a specific speed, and you can't overdrive them by very much without causing damage to them. In the worst case scenario, a centrifuge running too fast would suffer a structural integrity failure and explode, making an enormously toxic mess over a radius of a few dozen feet on the factory floor.

A reasonable interpretation of Ryan's quote is that Iran is actively attempting to reengineer and retool their centrifuges to run as fast as possible, and are making every attempt to purchase and use as many centrifuges as possible that are as fast as possible.
