What Is This World Coming To?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad jarred the world’s nuclear experts with his recent admission that Iran has more than 7,000 working centrifuges, instead of the 3,000 the West was basing all its ‘point of no return’ calculations on.

“We don’t know what to believe about the Iranian program. We’ve heard many different assessments and claims over a number of years,” said Clinton of Iran’s latest claims.

“We do not attribute any particular meaning, with respect to the range of issues that we are looking to address with the Iranians, from this particular statement.”

Given that Iran is now believed to have the capability  to mount a nuclear warhead on missiles capable of reaching all the major capitals of Europe, possibly the east coast of the United States and definitely all of Israel,  an admission that the US doesn’t know what to believe is troubling, to say the least.
