"It also seems obvious that Iran is using its so-called dialogue with the Europeans to win the time and diplomatic wriggle room"
Israel is planning a response to the Iran threat-we need to pubicly offer our support, diplomatic and military.
Duh. The EU doesn't seem to care about having a nuclear weapon equiped Islamofascist state within minutes of their borders, as the rocket flies.
They've chosen to align themselves with the enemies of freedom and democracy, for short term monetary gain.
Can anyone say "scumbags"? As far as I'm concerned, Iran is NEXT on the list...
The Iranian people had better understand that if they do not overthrow the mullahs and they(the mullahs) get the bomb, they will ALL be crispy critters.
Hey, anyone who knows me knows I'm as gungho as any keyboard warrior can be. And I am all for bringing down the mullahs at the earliest possible moment.
But before we go to war based on unimpeachable walk-in sources, I would like to see us produce a clearly written explanation of what, finally, in the end, happened with Saddam's WMDs. We know now that Tenet swore that they were there. While I no longer have much faith in either Tenet or his politicized CIA, I still believe they were there.
I just hope our information is better this time than last. If at least one of our purposes in going in is to seize Iran's weapons, we had bloody well better know where they are. I don't want to see us go in and find nothing but empty warehouses, while our spooks are wondering aloud if, maybe, they were in that convoy that scooted across the border right before the war.
Yellow cake is not uranium tetrafluoride (UF4), it is one of the uranium oxides (U3O8).
And one unverified "walk-in" source is evidence of nothing. Most of the information about Iraq's alleged WMD came from Mossad asset Ahmed Chalabi and was totally fabricated.
