Just a couple.
Fear mongering huh???
Yeah, ok.
Every one of those links is pure hearsay, NO FACTS AT ALL.
You have an agenda of fear mongering based on rumors and lies.
I did not realize Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had an account here on ATS.
Further more, let me say this, and I hope you can hear me as you are very high up on your horse there.
I never said Iran was going to. I said that it looks like they have the ability to do so.
You really need to learn how to read before infecting ATS with your bitter crap.

What personal attack? No name calling.
Is that really all you have? Play the victim? Pull out the personal attack card?
I bet you are thinking of a way to turn this to a race issue.
No constructive thinking at all. What a shame. I hang my head very low for you and your train of thought.
During the Bush administration years, Hersh was widely criticized by White House officials for his exposés on the torture at Abu Ghraib, secret U.S. operations overseas, and U.S. policy in Iran.
Now it is the Obama White House upset with an article from Hersh.
Earlier this week, The New Yorker magazine published his latest investigation titled "Iran and the Bomb: How Real is the Threat?"
Hersh writes, quote, "There is a large body of evidence, however, including some of America’s most highly classified intelligence assessments, suggesting that the United States could be in danger of repeating a mistake similar to the one made with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq eight years ago—allowing anxieties about the policies of a tyrannical regime to distort our estimations of the state’s military capacities and intentions."
Alternet Interview with Hersh
Well, very simply, you could argue it’s 2003 all over again. Remember WMD, mushroom clouds.
There’s just no serious evidence inside that Iran is actually doing anything to make a nuclear weapon. You know, making a weapon is a big deal. You have to have fabrication facilities. You have to convert a very toxic gas into a metal and then mold it into a core. It’s big stuff, and there’s no sign of any of it.
Cheney was convinced, Dick Cheney, the former vice president, there was a secret facility à la what we probably saw in the movie Bananas. Remember Woody Allen’s movie, the little robots running underground? He was convinced there was an underground facility somewhere.
And we had special forces units in there since '04, really, perhaps as late as ’05, maybe, looking.
We've been paying off people—the Kurds, the Azeris, the opposition groups.
We’ve been giving a lot of money to various defectors. We’ve been looking with satellites for telltale signs, air holes, air vents, somewhere in the desert or somewhere in an arid area.
And we’ve found nothing, not for lack of trying.
We looked very hard.
And there’s just no evidence on the inside.
Fool me once ... and ... erg.... fool me two times and er... um...

Completely off topic, thread derailing.
Iran has no nuclear capability and is no overt military threat to Israel or the US.
Iran has insane leaders, but not insane enough to start a war that would get their
country vaporized.
Enjoy your agenda of fear mongering and name calling, I don't need to say anymore.

According to reports from Iran, two missile warheads with nuclear capability have been delivered to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Based on reports received by the Green Experts of Iran, the range of the missiles, produced by the Ministry of Defense Industries, has also been boosted and can now travel a distance of 2,000 miles. Simultaneously, a joint military-industrial project with Iran, Pakistan, China and the Ukraine has begun to produce nuclear warheads, including the first manufactured nuclear-capable warheads.
