Blix: Iran Years Away From Nuke Weapons

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Former chief U.N. weapons inspector Hans Blix said Thursday it would take many years for Iran to achieve the capability to produce highly enriched uranium needed for an atomic bomb.

Blix also dismissed worries about a new nuclear reactor being built in Iran, saying it was not suitable to produce weapons-grade material.

"They have many years to go before they will be able to produce highly enriched uranium for a bomb and I believe there is plenty of room for negotiations," Blix said in an interview with Swedish Radio.

2. Well, the Bushlings didn't listen to Blix before invading Iraq.

Can't think they'll pay him any attention now. Though obviously they should.

3. I hope he's right.

When it comes to WMD, I don't know who to trust. However, I definitely know who NOT to trust. :freak:

Peace.

8. I hear that

Only thing I know to do is whatever Bush and his gang says is to turn it around backwards.

6. Thank you, Dr. Blix.

I've been assuming that was about the stage the Iran nuclear program was at, but there was no way to check that assumption before. If Hans Blix says it, I'll take it to the bank.
