Not on the itinerary. Obama won’t be going to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A-bomb blast sites … under the Apology Tour bus! Which is frankly more of a surprise than you’d know from reading this AP story:

Nuke News

Published on 4 Oct 2009 at 10:19 am. 2 Comments.
Filed under Iran, nukes.

NYT cites an IAEA draft report that Iran has the data to produce a workable A-bomb.* NYT seems to be of the opinion that United States intelligence agencies thought Iran suspended its nuclear weapons program in 2003, and that they are now re-evaluating to allow that perhaps those activities had resumed. Which is a bit of [...]

Great news for the Obama admin on the Iranian front. The Iranians are ready to build a nuke. But the top mullah hasn’t given them the nod yet. Also, his partner for peace has been officially re-installed. By the same top mullah. Times of London:

… don’t they get? NYT, Gates says the U.S. overture to Iran isn’t open-ended:
JERUSALEM—Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates warned Monday that the American overture to engage Iran in talks about its nuclear program “is not an open-ended offer” as Ehub Barak, the Israeli defense minister, expressed impatience that the Americans were willing to talk to [...]

Still Crazy After All These Years

Filed under Kim, Korea, Obama, nukes.

Legal Insurrection pantses the left on Bolton, dubbed “crazy” for suggesting in the Wall Street Journal that Crazy Kim planned to test Obama, and that Obama with his Kumbayah foreign policy tendencies, might not be up to the test. (More correctly, Crazy Kim pantses the left. Legal Insurrection just points it out.)
Anyway, the good news after yesterday’s NK [...]

Also-Ran Slams Geo-Political Special Olympics

Filed under Iran, nukes.

What is it with world leaders and jokes about the disabled these days? From Ahmadinejad this time, who says that for maintaining a nuclear stockpile, the United States is “mentally handicapped in the game of politics since they have failed to realize that the era of bombs, military actions and threats is long over.”
It’s the effort that counts, [...]

But no pop quiz. It isn’t like Obama didn’t have time to study for this news. Financial Times: UN says Iran has enough uranium for a nuke. So, if you’re Obama, do you:

It’s what you plan to do about it. LA Times reads Obama’s lips on Iranian nukes, notices he’s admitted Iran’s up to no good. This part is kind of funny, in a tragic, Middle East arms race, mushroom cloud kind of way:

Know Nukes

Filed under Iran, nukes.

NYT article on a couple of new learned tomes about the history and current problems of nuclear proliferation. Apparently much more difficult that Oppenheimer envisioned it would be. Heavily reliant on the spilling of secrets. France and China are singled out. A.Q. Khan is said to have been overrated. Iran … barely gets a mention and then with [...]
