Let them know their 'expert' is factually wrong. Because it is a fact that 20% enriched uranium is NOT weapon-grade. In fact 20% is exactly what is required for nuclear POWER plants.

The report did not say that 20% was weapons grade. It said that they could produce weapons grade enriched uranium by next year from the 20% enriched uranium that they already have. However, he didn't say they were "months" away from a bomb. That's just from producing weapons grade uranium. And they would need more high-tech centrifuges which they apparently do not have. Furthermore, they would still have to build a bomb and whether or not they have the technology to do that was not addressed by that source. To call Bachmann's claim "partially true" is a stretch. Albright's statement does not contradict the CIA's claim that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program.

Bachmann's real whopper was claiming that Iran has said they will attack us with nukes. Since Iran does not admit to having a nuclear weapons program, what sense does it make for them to say that they will attack us with weapons they claim they don't have and are not developing? I which RP would have called her on that because it would demonstrate that she is completely talking out her ass. She hasn't a clue about what she is claiming.

They should read what they wrote themselves. They guy just said that was step one then they'd need to 'further process' etc. That isn't months away from having a weapon, but 14 or more months away from having something that could then be further processed and then at SOME POINT could be a weapon. IF they could get THREE units up where they don't even have 3.

Michele is known for this though, she has twisted tons of things in the past. What sucks about this too, is that she had Newt looking bad again for the FM 1.8mil issue. Now, since she f'd on this one, it will make Newt look better and like he was telling the truth. Thx Michele, for just giving Newt a f'ing bump :rolleyes:
