Sorry.
He's not a WAR-MONGERING teabagging racist necon rethuglican Halibburton zionist.
He's a Finnish career UN IAEA scientist and resident expert on Iran:
In unusual public remarks about Iran's disputed nuclear program, Olli Heinonen, the former chief of UN nuclear inspections worldwide, told the French Le Monde newspaper that Iran's uranium reserve still represented a "threat."
Until he stepped down earlier this month for personal reasons, Heinonen was deputy director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency and head of its nuclear safeguards department, which verifies that countries' nuclear programs are not being diverted for military use.
A no-nonsense Finn, Heinonen was one of the UN agency's leading experts on Iran...In the interview published on Thursday, Heinonen said the Islamic Republic now possessed three tons of low-enriched uranium, material which can be used to fuel nuclear power plants, or form the core of a bomb if refined much further.
"In theory, it is enough to make one or two nuclear arms. But to reach the final step, when one only has just enough material for two weapons, does not make sense," Heinonen said in the interview just before he left office.
In comments translated from English to French, he suggested this was not sufficient to constitute a serious bargaining chip in any negotiations with the United States, the Islamic Republic's old adversary.
"But this constitutes a ... threat," he said, apparently referring to Iran's LEU stockpile.
THE LONGER WE WAIT, THE WORSE THE THREAT BECOMES AND THE MORE TERRIBLE THE PRICE WE PAY FOR ENDING THE THREAT.
WE SHOULD ATTACK ASAP.
