Remember the National Intelligence Estimate from December of last year? The one that stated that Iran's nuclear weapons program was halted in 2003, and that "We judge with high confidence that Iran will not be technically capable of producing and reprocessing enough plutonium for a weapon before about 2015." Call it the "let's keep the cowboy from getting tough with Iran" report.
Well, now :
The head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency said Iran could create a nuclear weapon in six months.
IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei spoke on Al-Arabiya television on June 20, discussing Iran's nuclear program, and the potential for the Middle Eastern country to produce a nuclear weapon.
ElBaradei says that the IAEA inspectors would have to be kicked out first, but I'm not so sure. Is the IAEA sure there are no clandestine facilities in operation?
