And since time can be measured as granular as you like, Iran has been 6 months away from the bomb an infinite number of times.

Israel has been using this for the same amount of time.

Hot air by Ahmadinejad and the clerics is all it is, yet they try to keep us afraid for their existence.

I call for the destruction of Iran every day and it does not happen.
