m1911,
Each of those stories refers to specific claims that once Iran reaches whatever point they were discussing, nuclear weapons would be inevitable.
They are quite clear in their warnings-bomb Iran now, or Iran will be at a point where it can get nuclear weapons and can't be stopped.
Iran had enrichment capability back when most of these articles were posted too. Again, the claims were specifically that Iran would be at the stage of making nuclear weapons.
To further prove the point, I already quoted exactly that language for you in each of the articles. Let me repost some of it, in choice parts, to show that it is not a warning of "different milestones":
Iran was less than two years away from reaching the point where it could enrich uranium, what she, and others, have termed "the point of no return"
If that's true, I guess there's no point doing anything now, because Iran is past the point of no return?
Oh wait, warnings continue to roll out....
Iran will reach "the point of no return" within the next 12 months
What is unambiguous about "point of no return" there?
Within three months Iran will reach a point of no return
Yet another specific (and spectacularly incorrect) prediction.
If these newspaper predictions are right on the money, Iran is already an irrevocably nuclear power.
Or does "point of no return" actually mean "point at which we can still reverse the program because there actually is a return"?
