US Nuclear Standoff with Iran?

Being the America-hating, liberal, commie fool that I am, I have a question or two. There is an article by the liberal mainstream press reporter DEB RIECHMANN called "Bush says diplomacy is 1st choice in Iran standoff". Here is the first sentence:
President Bush, in a fresh warning to Tehran, said Wednesday he favors a peaceful resolution to the nuclear standoff with Iran but has not ruled out the possible use of military force. [bold my emphasis]
Now the question. Just what precisely is this so-call "nuclear standoff" we are having with Iran. Do they have nuclear-tipped missiles aimed and ready for firing at the USA? Maybe they have nuclear armed drones they can use to bomb us. They could have gotten some of Saddam Hussein's drone aircraft.

Joking aside, is it accurate to say we are at a nuclear standoff with Iran. That seems like such a loaded phrase. One of those types of phrases that were used to convince us we needed to attack Iraq before they attacked us.

So how about asking a few questions. Just how close is Iran to refining enough uranium to make an atomic weapon? It's my understanding that building a uranium-based atomic bomb is pretty easy once you have enough uranium. But getting the uranium is the trick - it's really, really difficult.

Now that you've convinced me that they have the uranium or are close to getting it, just precisely where is this nuclear facility? Was it the one someone (USA or Israel or combination) destroyed a few months ago? And, by the way, just what was that all about? No one seems to want to discuss it, not even the liberal mainstream media.

Ok, so Iran has an idiot for a President (a few other countries do also)that claims they want to nuke Israel. But Iran's idiot president has no power, power is held by the mullahs. What is the policy of the mullahs? And why does Iran's president remind me so much of Ringo Starr? Do the Iranian people really support using a nuclear weapon against the USA or Israel? I've read that most Iranians are actually pretty politically moderate these days. We know that Israel has nuclear weapons already. Do the Iranians think Israel is going to sit back and let itself be nuked? Israelis are known to be militarily a quite feisty group of people.

Well, we invaded one country already to get rid of their weapons of mass destruction (which were not there). Now we are being told we are in a nuclear standoff and need to invade or bomb to the stone age another country in the middle east. I guess we can thank Shiva that our idiot only has 7 more months to reign.
