Now that Bush is out of office, the UN can safely admit this:

Iran has built up a stockpile of enough enriched uranium for one nuclear bomb, United Nations officials acknowledged on Thursday.

In a development that comes as the Obama administration is drawing up its policy on negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear programme, UN officials said Iran had produced more nuclear material than previously thought.

If such a quantity were further enriched it could produce more than 20kg of fissile material – enough for a bomb.

“It appears that Iran has walked right up to the threshold of having enough low enriched uranium to provide enough raw material for a single bomb,” said Peter Zimmerman, a former chief scientist of the US Arms Control and Disarmament Agency

The new figures come in a report from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN’s nuclear watchdog, released on Thursday. This revealed that Iran’s production of low enriched uranium had previously been underestimated.

You know, isn’t it odd how many things Bush has been proven correct on recently? The Gitmo detainees are suddenly too dangerous to be released, there is a need for secrecy in government, etc., and now this. And all it took was a change in administration for the left to realize this stuff. Amazing isn’t the word, is it?

Of course, the libs have their talking points ready to go.
