It is 5 minutes to midnight according to the doomsday clock, but it seems to rank climate change and carbon footprints right up there with a nuclear Iran. When Algore runs the doomsday clock, it begins to lose its meaning.

This week Iran tested its first nuclear-capable, long-range missile and moved the hands of the Doomsday Clock a little closer to disaster.

If Obama gets elected, it'll move even closer to disaster. 11:04:08 -- hey, that IS pretty close to midnight! Lol

Remember the days when these sorts of things were presumed to have integrity?

These days people are willing to boldly and obviously lie about the color of the sky if it suits their agenda.

Bulletin of Atomic Scientists

These are not Atomic Scientists and should be ignored.

We’re not dealing with rational people.
Iran is a problem that needs to be eliminated-asap.I’m inclined to believe if they acquire or are able to develop their own nukes-they’ll use them.I don’t think they appreciate the concept of “mutually assured destruction”.

The Doomsday Scenario – A Nuclear Iran?

Doomsday for Iran, perhaps.
