I know the US Intel agencies don't have a real sterling rep, but every signal coming out of Iran is bad, bad, bad. These guys have the will, the money, and the means to make not just one but several nukes in a startingly short period of time. Worse yet, they've all but announced publicly in neon lights over Tehran that they'll use 'em soon as they have 'em.
The only thing Eurabia is saying is "Stop, or we'll say stop again." Even Britain is twitchy. Jack Straw said 'no military option' just the other day.
One things for sure, the Israelis aren't going to let this bunch of islamofascists get their fingers on a nuclear trigger pointed right at their cities. That ain't gonna happen. Once Iran crosses the uranium rubicon the gloves are gonna come off. I for one wouldn't blame the Israelis if they turned Tehran and Qom in craters in that situation.
The sabers aren't just rattling here Luis, they're being pulled from their scabbards while the whole worlds watching. Once they come out, the only way to survive will be to blast every single one of those Iranian nuclear installations out of existence by any and all means necessary.
Liebermans from what's left of the 'saner' parts of the Dem party. Granted, they have no power and they're completely overshadowed by the whacko brigades that have taken it over in the last 20 years, but they're still there. I think of Joe Lieberman as Zell Miller, but without the testicular fortitude.
So, while he may be 'paying bills', he is probably the last man in the Dem party that's worth paying any attention to at all.

The most effective way to send out the announcement that an attack on Israel would be considered a danger to the national security of the US, and that we would retaliate is for Joe to do it.
And frankly, it's Joe's obligation to do it...dance with the ones that brung you.
The American Jewish support for the DNC is important, and Joe's obvious choice to rattle the sabers for the left.
If we were talking about Cuba instead of Iran, the saber rattling would come from Ros-Lethinen, the Diaz-Balart brothers and the rest of the Cuban contingency in DC.
There's a couple of them actually.
