It's just a matter of time . . .

News item:

Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ordered the nation’s atomic energy agency on Sunday to begin producing a special form of uranium that can be used to power a medical reactor in Tehran, but that could also move the country much closer to possessing fuel usable in nuclear weapons.

(NY Times story here.)

Why is he doing this now? Because he figures one of two things will happen:

a) Either a, Iran will get go ahead and make its bomb, or

b) Israel and-or the U.S. will attack to stop it.

Either way, his regime will be strengthened.

At least, that's the way he sees it.

I'd figure on an attack within the next six months.
