Brett LoGiurato / BusinessInsider.com
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulled out this chart to describe the threat of a nuclear Iran during his speech to the UN General Assembly:
 C-Span |
Netanyahu explained that Iran is in the second stage — near 90 percent — of becoming nuclear capable. The red line in this next picture (via BuzzFeed’s Zeke Miller) is where he says it needs to stop — the “final stage.”
“The hour is getting late,” he said. “Very late.”
“We must face the truth,” he added. Economic sanctions, he said, are not enough to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions. He said “a clear red line on Iran’s nuclear weapons program” needs to be established.
Here’s the red line:

So far, there have been mixed reactions to the chart.
The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg tweeted that it “turned a serious issue into a joke:”

I thought Netanyahu did a great job explaining why Iran and it’s terrorist “mid evil” proxies must be stopped. The image of the bomb got my attention and made very clear where the red line stands.
Yes, I thought so too, Anonymous. NetanYahu had to make it like a clear cartoon for the stupid and ignorant (brainwashed, indoctrinated) MASSES…that level of induced ignorance made the fool-proof simplicity of his diagram NECESSARY! HE DID NOT CREATE OUR STUPIDITY, OUR GOVERNMENT MANDATED SCHOOLS AND INDOCTRINATION MACHINE DID.
Given everything the man did a superb speech in an extremely hostile forum, bless him, without insulting anyone’s intelligence. The ‘cartoon’ was unfortunately the only thing that the masses could understand. Now they know without a doubt the seriousness of Iran’s nuclear stage and they know the basic information of Islam’s goal for the world: COMPLETE DOMINATION BEGINNING WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL AND THE US. Followed by the rest of the infidel world.
NetanYahu is our honest hero. He is super-intelligent and subtle yet speaks the truth clearly. This is a complicated situation made so by the willing obtuseness of the world’s leaders who are against freedom and peace. period.
USA will pay for her choices in leaders for the past … yes since Kennedy’s assasination. Big-time payups happening soon. Don’t cry, just stiffen upper lips when the destruction comes and remember that we asked for it.
In the form of earthquakes, terrorist strikes, rioting and other destruction.
Netanyahu made his point clearly.
Yeah, he did. and elegantly. And succinctly. The drawing of this bomb threat to us was succinct.
I love NetanYahu. If all men were like him and Geert Wilders and Alan West and Herman Cain…we would all be so happy.
