"Iran would need another three to eight years to make a nuclear bomb, the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog said in an interview published on Monday, warning against any rush to use force to curb its nuclear ambitions.

Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told France's Le Monde newspaper there was plenty of time for diplomacy, sanctions, dialogue and incentives to bear fruit.

Vice President Dick Cheney said on Sunday the world would not stand by and let Iran develop a nuclear weapon, and Washington has not ruled out an attack. Iran says its nuclear plans are peaceful and denies it wants to make an atomic bomb.

"I cannot judge their intentions, but supposing that Iran does intend to acquire a nuclear bomb, it would need between another three and eight years to succeed," ElBaradei told Le Monde. "All the intelligence services agree on that.

"I want to get people away from the idea that Iran will be a threat from tomorrow, and that we are faced right now with the issue of whether Iran should be bombed or allowed to have the bomb," the Nobel peace prize winner said..."

Right now, that figure stands one hour lower than it was just one hour ago. Clearly we need action immediately.

We don't have nearly as much time as it doesn't seem we have.

Congress need to find their voices now, not a few years down the road :(

Emergency! Emergency! Buy Duct Tape now! Plastic! Batteries! Oh shit where are the batteries! Fires? What Fires? Iran could have a nuke in 3 to 8 years, I don't have time to worry about any damn fires!
