Medvedev announces that Iran is close to bomb

Russian President Medvedev announced in Moscow on Monday that Iran was very close to the point where it could make a nuclear bomb. After years when the Russians prevented meaningful sanctions from being imposed against the Iranians, this statement needs to be understood in the proper context. The Russians are positioning themselves to be able to say how upset they are once the Iranians get the bomb even though Russian help got it for Iran. My guess is that the obamacrats will falll for this ruse. Obama has done everything else that the Russkies wanted so far in his presidency. Why not forgive them for setting Iran up to get nukes?
