Iran able to enrich Uranium up to 20% grade? If so a bleak milestone has been reached.

If Iran has reached the ability to produce a 20% grade of Uranium,
then nukes are not very far down the road. The worst part of this
entire nightmare is that Israel has not attacked Iran when they had
the chance(numerous opportunities), and that Washington has
wasted how many years in 'negotiating' with a crackpot regime, run
by extremeist hard line mullahs. The meddling of foreign powers into
Israel's future may have dire consequences of untold magnitude.
The fact that Ahmadinejad has been able to continually snooker the
'big six powers' is almost laughable if the stakes were not so high,
the region such a tinderbox, waiting for that one spark to ignite the
Middle East into Armaggedon. Once upon a time, not to far in the
distant past, Israel would have already leveled any and all Iranian
nuclear facilities, conducting global damage control AFTER the threat
had been neutralized. The world community would openly condemn
such actions, but in reality the world would breathe a huge sigh of relief.

The Iranian president's enrichment announcement at a time that the Obama administration is pondering tough sanctions against the Revolutionary Guards was part of this policy; so were the Syrian and Hizballah declarations of military preparedness for a purported Israeli attack last week, taking advantage of an IDF war game to raise the alarm.
