Playing Dead Man's Bluff... for Real!

The following article is from the ICEJ in Jerusalem.  It is simply one more bit of evidence that probably won't matter to the sleeping masses who are watching interest rates and unemployment figures more than prophetic markers.

But, for the few of you who care...

Carefully notice the words in BOLD at the end of the article.

IAEA has evidence Iran tested nuclear warhead device

The International Atomic Energy Agency has asked Iran to explain evidence that Iranian engineers have built an experimental version of a simple-to-use "two-point implosion" nuclear device, The Guardian (UK) newspaper reported on Friday.

According to the IAEA dossier, Iranian scientists may have tested high-explosive components of a "two-point implosion" device which allows for the production of smaller warheads, making it easier to put a nuclear warhead on a missile. "It is breathtaking that Iran could be working on this sort of material," said a European government adviser on nuclear issues.

The British paper noted the Agency’s documents would seem to contradict previous IAEA findings that Iran does not have an active program to develop atomic weapons.

Meanwhile, outgoing IAEA head Mohamed ElBaradei told The New York Times on Thursday that his agency had found "nothing to be worried about" in its initial inspection of the recently disclosed secret nuclear site carved into a mountain range near the holy city of Qom. "The idea was to use it as a bunker under the mountain to protect things… It's a hole in a mountain," ElBaradei shrugged.

The IAEA inspection came as Iran asked the West this week to modify its proposal for the Islamic republic to hand over most of its uranium stockpile to Russia and France for conversion into nuclear fuel. US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, however, insisted on Monday that Teheran should fully accept the offer, "because we are not altering it."

Commenting on the stalled talks today, Israel’s deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon told Sky News that Tehran’s "intentions are only to buy time and procrastinate," while adding that Israel is not bluffing when it warns that it may attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.

"The one who's bluffing is Iran, which is trying to play with cards they don't have," Ayalon said. "All the bravado that we see and the testing and the very dangerous and harsh rhetoric is hiding a lot of weaknesses."

What we need are words to Iran like this...

Or better yet, how about this...
