UN: Iran Making Bombs, Not Hugs As Previously Told

The UN conceded today that Iran has built up a stockpile of uranium sufficient enough to produce at least one atomic bomb. This announcement comes as the Obama Administration seeks a new dialogue with Tehran in an effort to curb its nuclear ambitions.

“It appears that Iran has walked right up to the threshold of having enough low enriched uranium to provide enough raw material for a single bomb,” said Peter Zimmerman of the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency.

Um, how does a country just “walk right up” to the atomic threshold without raising an alarm or two? Oh right, this is the UN we’re talking about.

Sometime next year, when Tehran triumphantly announces that it has developed an atomic weapon, how likely is it that the Obama Administration will look to dump the blame on "the failure of eight years of isolationist foreign policy?"
