One comment on one of the articles, the "money trail" one. I don't find it plausible Kerry sets Iranian nuke policy in response to a handful of five figure donations. No, he is repeating the international left's party line on Iran. In particular, his "give 'em fuel" argument is exactly the Russian position on Iran, and was Clinton's on North Korea.
We're done:' Iran reactor ready despite 2-year delay claim
Nuclear weapons in the hands of Israel threaten no one but aggressors-- Nukes in Arab hands threaten everyone.
I understand if we are only talking about mullahs. But referring to Iran as an Arab country is giving misinformation. Not to mention pissing Persians off who will ultimately deliver mullahs heads and save Israel from remaining the destination of Iranian missiles. Iranians are indo European Arians and are Persians, not Arab.
Yer shootin at the wrong cowpoke ther tex!
No worries mate, shooting blanks at the sky. Just correcting a misperception.
Prepare yourself for the unthinkable: war against Iran may be a necessity

Bush: Iran Cannot Gain Nuclear Weapons
Iran Secretly Expanding Nuke Sites
According to a very disturbing report at the Telegraph, satellite images reveal secret expansion of Irans Natanz nuclear facility: Iran extends nuclear plant in secret. (Hat tip: Link Mecca.)
On their home page, GraphicLens currently features an interactive Flash graphic showing satellite photos of the construction at Natanz since August 2002. This ought to be read in conjuction with this huge story. A senior Pakistani source says that Iran was given uranium enriched enough to be used in nuclear weapons by Pakistan. Meanwhile, the Democrats whine on and on about 'the culture of corruption" and "filibuster" and "Bushitler" ad nauseum. Fiddling while Rome burns. Go to the Democratic websites - see for yourself this stuff isn't even on their radar screen.
There is no way they are going to "test" a nuclear weapon. If they have one, that maniac is going to vaporize whatever part of Israel he can reach. And here's another map I whipped up during a similar Iran nukes discussion,
showing the to-scale size of the 'zones of total devastation' from a variety of nuclear bomb yields, with a map of Israel.
Islam would still survive with a majority of its followers intact.
Unless Mecca and Medina are vaporized. That is the end of Islam. That black rock is the entire reason Islam exists. Cut the head off the snake and the snake dies.
"Peaceful Nuclear Armament"
Tonight on MEMRI TV, the chairman of the Union of Arab Lawyers comes out in favor of nuclear weapons for Iran, and all Arab countries:

Will Saudi Arabia Acquire Nuclear Weapons?
Amr Moussa, head of the Arab League, called on the Arab world today to get their nuclear programs going with all speed and momentum.
You know ... for peaceful purposes. Nudge. Wink. Just yesterday, Charles Krauthammer envisioned a nightmare future, not of nuclear proliferation but of hyperproliferation. link: 60 comments
"This just proves (for the what, one millionth time?) that people who put their faith in international agreements are idiots."
I'm seeing a near-term future of hoarding and fallout-shelter rebuilding. Today, the same people who advocated a unilateral nuclear freeze when the Soviets were bulking up think everyone should have nuclear weapons.
A new MAD doctrine must be developed. The basic premise of von Clausewitz and Sun Tzu still applies: seize or threaten something of immeasurable value to the enemy.If the ka'aba was to become One with the atmosphere it would no longer be possible to perform hajj. To which direction would a devout Muslim face five times a day for prayer?
