That would have been the all time stupidest moment to perform a nuclear test. Not even the Iranians could be THAT incomprehensibly stupid.

There's been stupider. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the US fired a test ICBM from Vandenberg, and the Soviets conducted a high altitude nuke test.

A 5.0 at a depth of 18 miles. I don’t think so.

Cant blame the Joos for wanting to strike first especially with nukes.

Is that the “sea of glass” mentioned in Bible, (kidding)

Hey Dutch Boy,
Would you bet the farm that obamma lamma ding dong wasn’t already in on any Iranian plot?

Maybe the 12th Imam has gas, but that’s a pretty deep well.

If you were going to bomb them, then why not do it now before the election.

"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. ... Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.

"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate. ... And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you ... to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right. ... Gird your loins. We're gonna win with your help, God willing, we're gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride....

"This guy has it. But he's gonna need your help. Because I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, 'Oh, my God, why are they there in the polls? Why is the polling so down? Why is this thing so tough?' We're gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I'm asking you now ... be prepared to stick with us. ... There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, 'Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don't know about that decision.' Because if you think the decision is sound when they're made ... they're not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they're popular, they're probably not sound....

"I probably shouldn't have said all this because it dawned on me that the press is here."

- Joe Biden, Obama's VP candidate

That was also 45 years ago before instant satellite communications. I don’t generally believe in conspiracies because incompetence is so much more common. But If the Iranians really tested a nuke before this election even I would believe that John McCain probably had something to do with it.

“This is the set up for the Israelis to bomb the crap out of Iran. You just watch.”

My first reaction is that it may be Israel’s way of putting security and terrorism back on the front burner just in time for this election.

Bravo! It SHOULD be a paramount issue - more so than the economy.

While nuclear detonations are certainly seismically measurable they leave a distinct “fingerprint”. If this was a nuke then everyone would know about it.

This is impossible because the CIA assured us the Iranians had stopped work on nuclear bombs.

Israel must hit Iran soon.

To understand the grave and imminent threat posed by the little nutjob, one must understand his theology, which is easy enough to do since he talks openly about it. He believes with every scintilla of his being that it is his holy mission to pave the way for the 12th imam, the Islamic “messiah.” And he believes the way to do that is to launch a massive conflagration aimed at Christians and Jews.

Nukes are not defensive for him, nor are they intended as deterrents. As soon as he has a viable and dependable weapon and means to deliver it, he will use it, definitely against Israel and IMHO there’s a 75% chance he’ll simultaneously launch against us, as well.

The world, especially us, better wake up and realize that the above scenario is not some Hollywoodesque tale of international fiction, but hard reality that is about to come true.

Jim Jones killed on 900 people. Given half a chance, how many will Obama kill?

His buddy, Bill Ayers, is on the record as having a goal to kill 25 million Americans.

I wouldn’t put it past many in the democrat leadership to be in on the plot. If they acknowledged that Iran was close to the bomb they would be saying Bush was right. They can’t do that under any circumstances. They are just dumb enough to think that if they are nice to Iran, they will be left alone. Just watch how they act.

I believe that nuclear event will be on Israel. bin biden said that the American public would not agree with it initially, but would have to support and it will be welcome in the long run.

Once Israel is neutralized, the Arab states will be more open and welcome to the US. That’s my guess on bin biden’s comment.
