Between four and ten years from doom
Good to hear US intelligence supremo and former scourge of the Sandinistas (back in the day when the Left kicked rather than kissed American foreign policy arse), John “Death Squad” Negroponte, being interviewed (RealPlayer required) on Radio 4’s Today programme this morning.
Afterwards, to fully enjoy the 1980s vibe he’d conjured, I skipped round the house to “Lucky Star” by Madonna while doing a Rubik’s Cube and machine-gunning some nurses and teachers.
I was particularly struck by his views on Iran getting The Bomb…
We don’t have a clear-cut knowledge, but the estimate we have made is [that] some time between the beginning of the next decade and the middle of the next decade they might be in a position to have a nuclear weapon, which is a cause of great concern.
…which struck me as very similar to Dr Fox’s authoritative statements about paedophiles on the Brass Eye Paedophilia Special:
Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me. Now that is scientific fact. There’s no real “evidence” for it but it is scientific fact.
Not quite “45 Minutes From Doom” but good enough for a slow Friday.

And when was that, then?
Here’s one example.
