 President
Ahmadinejad's announcement yesterday about Iran's "dramatic
expansion" of their nuclear program was pretty well covered
by the media, but what wasn't as well covered were two
other, far more important announcements that Iranian
officials made.
First, there was a statement by Iran's Vice President saying
they would install not just 3,000, but 50,000 centrifuges.
I'll tell you why that's so significant in a second. But
even more important was a comment by Iran's Chief
Negotiator, "If they pressure us further we will have no
choice but to reconsider our membership of the NPT..." The "NPT",
by the way, is the "Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty" --
which has several requirements, not the least of which is
the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
The Real Story is that Iran's nuclear game has changed -- we
just don't know it yet. Without putting you to sleep, let
me try to quickly explain how these announcements tie
together and what they really mean.
In order to secretly make a nuclear bomb from uranium,
you've got to do two things. First, you've got to have
thousands of centrifuges all running together -- and yea,
50,000 would do the trick -- and second, you've got to get
the U.N. inspectors out of your country because -- unlike
uranium enriched for energy -- weapons grade uranium
literally lights up U.N. Geiger counters like a Christmas
tree.
That's why the comment about withdrawing from the NPT is so
significant. Once they leave that treaty, there's no reason
to keep the inspectors around anymore and then the world
becomes blind. For all the grandstanding and press
conferences and "national nuclear day" declarations -- the
inspectors are our last line of defense, and the only thing
that really matters. So mark my words America...if they're
forced out, it may be days, or weeks, or just hours -- but
we will have no choice but to be forced in.
