They've known about the 60%. amount since last June since the IAEA reported it. What he doesn't know is whether any of that had been destroyed during the bombing last June and if the Iranians were lying about what they still had. He is incredibly pathetic. Full report: www.iaea.org/sites/defaul...

The idiots at Facebook are really brilliant. They tell you that they've permanently disabled your account and then suggest that you “Log into Facebook." You cannot make this shit up.
