- - - - - Iran, Nukes, and Missiles - - - - -
According to The Mullahs of Iran, Iran seeks only Peace and Enlightenment, and to use nuclear power for the generation of electricity for peaceful purposes.
Then, comes THIS.
There's only one reason for The Mullahs to have both weapons-grade uranium AND missiles.
Now, there's only one question. Should we let the Israelis take it out, or should we do it ourselves?
Now, imagine my surprise when I stumble across THIS ONE. (Note: poxy registration required. It's free, but it's a PITA)
Extract:
U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama suggested Friday that the United States one day might have to launch surgical missile strikes into Iran and Pakistan to keep extremists from getting control of nuclear bombs. ...
Obama said the United States must first address Iran’s attempt to gain nuclear capabilities by going before the United Nations Security Council and lobbying the international community to apply more pressure on Iran to cease nuclear activities. That pressure should come in the form of economic sanctions, he said.
But if those measures fall short, the United States should not rule out military strikes to destroy nuclear production sites in Iran, Obama said.
“The big question is going to be, if Iran is resistant to these pressures, including economic sanctions, which I hope will be imposed if they do not cooperate, at what point are we going to, if any, are we going to take military action?” Obama asked. |
Cripes! A Democrat who talks about defense in sensible terms?
Wow. I really AM impressed. A Truman-type Democrat, in this day and age?
