Time's up
Armed Forces Chief of Staff Jean-Louis Georgelin, head of the "French military", claims there is no viable military option to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons; too risky.
On the contrary, as Caroline Glick explains, Iran is months - not years - away from having sufficent enriched uranium to start building its atomic arsenal. Any sane person can see that the greater risk is a nuclear armed Iran and not only to embattled democratic Israel.
For example.
Teheran's successful upgrade of its ballistic missiles to satellite launchers has given it the capacity to launch nuclear weapons into the atmosphere. This renders Iran capable of launching an electromagnetic pulse attack from sea against just about any country. An EMP attack can destroy a state's electromagnetic grid and thus take a 21st-century economy back to the pre-industrial era. Such an attack on the US, for instance, would cripple the American economy, and render the US government at all levels incapable of restoring order or preventing mass starvation.
Something pressing to remember when Barack Obama provides cover on "disarmament" for his allies at the United Nations.
