Any news on what the SSMs being moved nightly are tipped with? Iran was rumored to have bought tac nukes from the Central Asian Muslim states in the early 90s.

That's great! We have some tests of our own we've been needing to conduct.

I am not convinced that Iran hasn't had a weapon for some time now.

That would explain their recent inexplicable yapping.

No, but it would explain Jacque Chirac's sudden attack of balls. Condi or someone similar clued him in that Iran actually has a nuke.

Bush is just ironing out contingency plans before taking them out...

...err, that's Iran I mean, not France ;-)

Cheers!

Years away? lol No freakin way.

Iran has the links to get nukes. It is just a matter of whether or not someone gave them the weapons.

I am sure Iran already has some sort of weapon...whether a full nuke or not is the question.

I agree with that assessment. I think the problem with the MAD Iranians is that they are not sure what to do with it and they are afraid to try to set it off without Western (traitorious) assistance.

"I know the CIA says publicly they are years away...but you have to wonder what they REALLY think."

There seems to be an assumption being made by many media analysts - and the media that parrots what they think - that Iran is several years away from producing a nuclear weapon. What they repeatedly fail to take into account is the high probability that the Paki guy (whose name I forget at the moment) gave/sold the necessary technology/material to the Mullahs to "kick start" their program. In other words, Iran could very well be only months away from going nuclear.

My own guess is that the clock is quickly approching midnight faster than the public is being led to believe. The recent actions and rhetoric out of the Europeans of all people help to reinforce this theory.

Then maybe it's time to teach them what a full nuclear weapon will do.

Man, Israel doesn't 'bait' very well. They tend to consider things quite seriously.

“Oh rats. We're too late. No need for air strikes. Too dangerous - too late. Iran might get mad. I guess we're supposed to be shakin' in our boots?

If I had a little less conviction that the Iranians would use them or a bit more that we would, this statement wouldn’t bother me.
