Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Jan. 20, 2010 When American diplomats sat down for the first in a series of face-to-face talks with their Iranian counterparts last October in Geneva, few would have predicted that what began as a negotiation over Tehran's nuclear programs would wind up in a stunning demand by the Security Council that Israel give up its atomic weapons. Yet that's just what the U.N. body did this morning, in a resolution that was as striking for the way member states voted as it was for its substance. All 10 nonpermanent members voted for the resolution, along with permanent members Russia, China and the United Kingdom. France and the United States abstained. By U.N. rules, that means the resolution passes.
The U.S. abstention is sending shock waves through the international community, which has long been accustomed to the U.S. acting as Israel's de facto protector on the Council. It also appears to reverse a decades-old understanding between Washington and Tel Aviv that the U.S. would acquiesce in Israel's nuclear arsenal as long as that arsenal remained undeclared.

How can we get news from a future date? Perhaps my brain cells are a little frazzled. Please help me out.
Well, I warned my liberal Jewsih acquaintances Obama was no friend to Israel, but they loved liberalism more than Israel, or America.
sorry for Israel, of course, and America, but it serves the jewish-american community right.
So, let me get this straight. This is a warning of what MAY happen in the future rather than a real news item?
World just got a whole lot more dangerous.
Whoops, missed the date. I think Jan next year is right on target for this to happen.
This is biblical...
How?
Nail, meet hammer.

Israel: “Come get some”
Fiction is often interesting, but this is more phantasy.
The author evidently did not understand “Never Again” and how much the Israelis mean it.
...a stunning demand by the Security Council that Israel give up its atomic weapons. Yet that's just what the U.N. body did this morning, in a resolution that was as striking for the way member states voted as it was for its substance. All 10 nonpermanent members voted for the resolution, along with permanent members Russia, China and the United Kingdom. France and the United States abstained. By U.N. rules, that means the resolution passes. The U.S. abstention is sending shock waves through the international community......but not, oddly, through the FReeper community. We've all expected this for some time now.
Some people have an allegiance to nothing but money. It will be interesting to see if Israel capitulates. I say they will not.

Thx.
