How To Assemble An Atomic Bomb

Title stolen shamelessly from Reader "RedWhiteAndJew" on LGF The entry I was reading was regarding Iran's attempts to process Uranium Hexafluoride (UF6 in atomic notation) and RW&J commented: bq. Actually, UF6 is an Iranian rock band; their version of U2. bq. They have a new album out. bq. How To Assemble An Atomic Bomb Charles' article is about Iran's attempts to process a lot of UF6 -- the issue is that the only purpose for UF6 is to make atomic weapons. President Bush made a very pointed comment about this and we know that what Bush says, he means and acts on (one of the reasons 60 million Americans cast their ballots for him) From the Reuters article: bq. President Bush on Saturday warned Iran of growing international concern over reports that Tehran is preparing large amounts of uranium for an enrichment process that can be used to make nuclear weapons. bq. “This is a very serious matter. The world knows it’s a serious matter and we’re working together to solve this matter,” Bush told reporters during a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in Santiago. Emphasis mine. Some more: bq. “It’s very important for the Iranian government to hear that we are concerned about their desires,” Bush said. bq. “We’re concerned about reports that show that prior to a certain international meeting, they’re willing to speed up processing of materials that could lead to a nuclear weapon.” Good man -- glad I voted for him... Kerry would have done what the EUnuchs are doing right now (more negotiations) and that strategy is an abject failure. These people are fascists and tyrants and they are not stupid. They are strategists and their plan will sauced if we remain in a liberal slumber. UPDATE: M. Simon at Power and Control has an excellent analysis of UF6, it's issues and the current state of affairs in Iran. Check it out! Posted by DaveH at November 20, 2004 9:56 PM
