WASHINGTON -- In July 1996, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress, warning that Iran was "extremely close" to developing nuclear weapons and that if the United States didn't act, "the lives of our children and our grandchildren" would be at risk. "Ladies and gentlemen, time is running out," he warned. "This is not a slogan. This is not over-dramatization." Since then, Netanyahu, now serving a second tenure as prime minister, has been consistently warning that Iran is within two or three or five years of obtaining a bomb. Ahead of Tuesday's speech, CNN commentator Fareed Zakaria noted Netanyahu's long history of alarmism. "It's worth remembering that Netanyahu came to this Congress ... 19 years ago. He made a speech in which he talked about Iran's nuclear weapons. He predicted at the time that the deadline was extremely close. He defined what he meant by that deadline, by how close it was, a couple years earlier to the Israeli parliament, where he said Iran would have nuclear weapons in three to five years. That was 25 years ago. Netanyahu has been talking about Iran's imminent nuclear program for 25 years. Just as a factual matter with respect to my friend, he's just been wrong for 25 years," Zakaria said.

He's a crackpot like McCain, Hillary, Graham, and Kerry.
It's easy enough to point out Netanyahu's record as the boy who has cried wolf too many times. Even so, the tens of thousands of Iranian centrifuges most certainly are not needed for a peaceful nuclear program. Over a dozen nations have substantial nuclear power generation programs -- such as Iran claims it wants -- but have no centrifuges at all.
Even older news......
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
The US and Israel have degraded Aryan...I mean Iran's nuclear program since the beginning of it. We infected their system with a virus, Israel bombed them and the West has kept sanctions in place to force them into compliance. A nuclear Iran, is a deadly nation. They would then have the means, motive and opportunity to begin wholesale annihilation of their enemies. Their bulls eye includes the US Israel and of course members of "peaceful sects of Islam, Christians, and secular people.
And we've been too stupid to listen for 25 years.

Back in April 1984, West German intelligence reported that Iran might have a nuclear bomb within two years with uranium from Pakistan.
