[The Great RJ]

While this bomb smuggling scenario is possible, it isn't necessary for Iran to meet its goals. All Iran has to do is demonstrate with a test that it in fact has the bomb. The Arab street will rejoice, Israel will be checkmated and the US will be humiliated in Arab eyes because the Great Satan could do nothing to stop the children of Allah from achieving this wonderful thing. The UN will do nothing other than pass a few more worthless resolutions.

With their status now assured in the Middle East, Iran now waits for the appeasers on the left to take over Congress and the Presidency to complete their humiliation of the US. The McGovernites will use an Iranian bomb to castigate Bush for not negotiating with the mullahs ....if we had only let Jimmy Carter give us peace in our time etc.

All the Iranians need to do is explode one crude bomb ...my bet is before the end of 2007.

The Muzzies, and interestingly, the NKs, like to tie their surprises to historical events. I look for something around election week in the US.
