You didn't read any one of those articles did you?  If you had, you wouldn't 
have posted what you wrote.  Nope, you just clicked reply and posted your
little 
comment below.  You are the definition of ignorance.

The report you read was dated in '2000', they are ahead of schedule.  AND --
you 
aren't taking into consideration the possibility they could have purchased 
enriched uranium from the grey market.

January 7th, LAST year:
Iran General Claims Nuclear Capability
January 7, 2005 :: Geostrategy-Direct :: News 
One of Iran’s generals stated on December 28 that Iran has nuclear capability 
and threatened to use them against the United States if it is attacked, 
according to a news report by Geostrategy-Direct.
        General Qassem Shabani said during a speech at Qom University, that “At

present we have manufactured some weapons and acquired nuclear capabilities…In 
the event of war against America, we must resort to asymmetrical battles.ö


How about this one from November; 

Russians Said to Proliferate Stolen German Missile Tech to Syria, Iran
November 5, 2005 :: AFP :: News 
The German news magazine “Focusö reports on November 5 that the Berlin 
government has warned German defense industry that certain Russian criminals 
have been transferring German technology to Iran and Syria.
Apparently, high-quality technology, which is sold to Russian companies in good

faith, goes directly to Iranian or Syrian missile workshops.
Using Moscow as a hub, the Tehran regime, in particular, is increasingly 
purchasing German top products for the expansion of its arsenals of weapons of 
mass destruction. Measuring devices, as well as drive and control systems for 
the so-called Shahab-3 programme, are mostly made in Germany: the new missile, 
which is to be equipped with nuclear warheads, with an envisaged range of 3,500

km, could hit also European targets precisely.
The present “early warning letterö to the German industry, which is based
mainly 
on information from the Federal Intelligence Service [Bundesnachrichtendienst],

mentions 15 companies in Moscow, St Petersburg, and Samara that are regarded as

procurers for Iranian arms manufacturers. An institute at Moscow Technical 
University is also among the addresses that are used as cover.
Syria, also served via Russia, needs the German technology for its old Scud 
missiles, which are primarily aimed at Israel. At present, there is a high 
demand for systems to improve target accuracy.

Assuming you've read this far -- you need to go out to the net, newspapers, 
publications and actually do some reading.  

Simply wanting Iran to not have nuclear weapons doesn't make it so.  

Well, perhaps in "Pauls' World" everyone is a happy liberal socialist, picks 
their nose and smokes their excrement, but here in the "Real" world, countries 
like Iran will continue to obtain nuclear technology until they have it.  After

they have it, they will reach out and touch someone with it.

Or -- perhaps that doesn't bother you.  

Ya know, Haifa is nice this time of year, perhaps you should pay them a visit! 

Tell them you're Jewish and have a longer stay.

Cheers,
Shannon
