Experts at the IAEA, the world’s top atomic watchdog, agree that Iran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb right now. Iran is also on the way to developing a missile system fully able to carry an atomic warhead, according to the AP.

The IAEA officials said in a leaked document that Iran has “sufficient information” to build a bomb, and is likely to “overcome problems” on developing a delivery system for them. The document, titled “Possible Military Dimension of Iran’s Nuclear Program,” appears to be the so-called “secret annex” on Iran’s nuclear program the U.S. has believed is being withheld by the IAEA’s chief.

Meanwhile, either due to stunningly bad timing or a just don’t give a crap attitude — Barack Obama just hung Europe, particularly our staunch allies Poland and Czechoslovakia, out to dry. (He didn’t do us any favors either. He’s made a downright dangerous change in policy– to take a proven missile defense system away from Eastern Europe, and put a lesser, mobile system in. In typical outrageous fashion, Obama made the announcement on the anniversary of Poland being invaded.

Russia has placed enormous negative pressure on the U.S. because of the European missile defense shield. (All while they sell arms to our enemies.) Obama, of course, says he didn’t cave to any Rusky pressure, and that it didn’t influence his decision. Yes, he actually said that. The New York Times, incidentally, reported in March that Obama cut a secret deal with the Russians about just this type of scenario. So who is telling the truth?

The new system is being touted as being more effective against short to medium range missiles. So, if another European country decides to lob one into Poland, perhaps there will be some protection for our friends. Good luck defending against the bigger boys.
