WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An Iranian opposition group with sources inside Iran's military is making public a list of the senior military personnel and military units it says are involved in Iran's secret nuclear weapons programs.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) says in a summary of its findings that Iran is rushing to complete a first nuclear bomb in "between one and two years."

The opposition group says the nuclear weapons effort by a special military unit functioning secretly outside the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization is under the personal supervision of the Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran's supreme ruler.

Is Iran being prepped in the American mind as another potential 'mushroom cloud' threat? PNAC-Paranoid minds want to know.

2. Tenet says it's a slam dunk

8. And who's word do we have on that particular "quote" from Tenet...

...when it's been reported on a repeated basis that Tenet advised strongly that Junior not to use the "16 words" in his State of the Union Address, and that Powell not use the Iraqi WMD "evidence" that he used in his speech to the UN.

From whom did Woodward get that quote, and how reliable is it coming from NeoCons that have tried repeatedly to get Tenet out of his position since the day the NeoCons engineered their coup?

3. Sharon and his Likudnuts have been shaking the trees daily,

calling for action against Iran. And of course, Sharon's allies in PNAC (Libby, Wolfowitz, Perle, Abrams, Feith, et al), are echoing his call, like good little dual-loyalty soldiers would. For all we know, this entire news release is 100% horsecrap. And if true, at this point, who could blame them, knowing the U.S. is being led my a PNAC controlled dictator?

Oh, and what about Israel's nuclear arsenal? Will someone call for its removal too? No? Thought so....

5. Israel is a secondary issue if this story is accurate

N Korea taught Iran what it needs to know about not being attacked by this cabal...if you get on our 'bad side' and have nukes, we will negotiate - if you don't have nukes you are history.

9. Based on the track record of the NeoCon Junta, the safe bet...

...is not believing anything they say.

10. I believe some of what they say. I do think *'s dog died....

.........I do, however, question 'HOW':evilgrin:

4. Rummy says "you can take it to the bank"

Once Powell weighs in with a Powerpoint presentation, you can be sure it's a big lie.

7. any country the bushgang has a hard-on against

is undoubtedly on a crash "nukuler" development course.

11. If I was in charge of Iran...

And I saw what happened to Iraq (which had no WMDs) and
what happened to North Korea (which likely has nukes), then
I would be derelict in not building a nuke (or 5) as quickly
as I could, before the imperialists next door take aim
at my country.
