get your story straight

Looks like the echo-chamber fear mongerers need to update America's Director of National Intelligence on Iran's nuclear programs:

The Washington Post: In contrast to some other administration officials, Negroponte gave a low-key description of the threat caused by Iran's recent statements about having begun nuclear enrichment, which could be a major step toward building a bomb. Negroponte used the word "troublesome," saying there is additional concern because of statements made by Iran's new president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Overall, however, he said that Tehran is "a number of years off . . . probably the next decade" before it will have enough fissile material for a bomb, and "we need to keep this in perspective."

you mean, not "16 days"? And not "this year"? Who do I believe?
