"...When my friend talks about fissile material, they have to take this
highly enriched uranium, get it from 20 percent up, then they have to be
able to have something to put it in. There is no weapon that the Iranians
have at this point. Both the Israelis and we know -- we'll know if they
start the process of building a weapon."

"...Some who claim that even if Iran completes the enrichment process, even
if it crosses that red line that I just drew, our intelligence agencies will
know when and where Iran will make the fuse, assemble the bomb, and prepare
the warhead.

Look, no one appreciates our intelligence agencies more than the Prime
Minister of Israel. All these leading intelligence agencies are superb,
including ours. They've foiled many attacks.

They've saved many lives.

But they are not foolproof.

For over two years, our intelligence agencies didn't know that Iran was
building a huge nuclear enrichment plant under a mountain.

Do we want to risk the security of the world on the assumption that we would
find in time a small workshop in a country half the size of Europe?"
