[Revolting cat!]

It's time for...

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[BenLurkin]

Thank you President Hussein.

Thank you DNC.

Thank you traitorous media.

Thank you gullible voters.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

It’s probably nothing one of our missile frigates couldn’t correct in a few minutes.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Bibi is about seven weeks from nuking Tehran.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Will Israel do what must be done now?

[Maine Mariner]

Iran, six weeks away from being bombed by the Israeli airforce?

[Cementjungle]

It’s probably nothing one of our missile frigates couldn’t correct in a few minutes

Except our CIC happens to be on the side of the Muzzies.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks neverdem. So, what are they seven or fewer weeks from?

[null and void]

The Obama Administration either believes there is no looming nuclear threat, or that it's willing to live with it.

Or it is in and of itself, islamist.

[Michael Barnes]

I don't think nuke's are his style.
My money is on determent already underway. Stuxnet was the warm up; the main course is being delivered and will arrive just about the time surgical/conventional strikes arrive.
Most likely "in the nick of time" as is Israel's style.

[rdcbn]

This is absolutely correct. It's a done deal.

The UN IAEA finally just admitted that Iran has a weapons program after covering for them for the last 10 years.

They are trying to get out in front of the problem before Iran announces a test so they can try to maintain credibility for their next sabotage mission.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

My money is on determent already underway. Stuxnet was the warm up; the main course is being delivered and will arrive just about the time surgical/conventional strikes arrive.

An "accidental discharge" would be nice.

[SERKIT]

Does this mean Iran may be on the business end of an Israeli bomb in 7 weeks?

[Mariner]

While there is legitimate concern and serious threat of an Iranian nuke, it's a long ways from 80lbs of fuel to an effective trigger and an effective delivery mechanism.

Yes, they must be stopped at all costs.

I hope the Mullahs are dumb enough to light one in a test BEFORE Nov, 2012.

The USA can not tolerate a nuclear Iran. And, Israel will not...using whatever means is necessary to stop the threat.

Is Israel willing to kill 40mil people in order to protect their existence and lives?

Probably yes.

Is the USA? Probably no.

[Michael Barnes]

An "accidental discharge" would be nice.

Speaking of, wasn't it during the Regan Administration that our intel (believe it was CIA) blew the crap out of a USSR oil pipeline via computer networks?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Siberian pipeline sabotage

[Michael Barnes]

A Gentleman and a scholar.

/gracias.

According to James Risen of The NYT, the Iranians have the warhead design thanks to Clinton and Operation Merlin. Their current Shahab missiles have the range to cover all of the Middle East and parts of southern Europe and Asia. Seems like all they need now is the weapons grade nuclear material.
