The top U.S. military officer says there is a narrow window of time in which to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and also to avoid a military strike on its nuclear facilities. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Navy Admiral Michael Mullen, said in Washington Tuesday dialogue is crucial but that time is running out.

Admiral Mullen said he is very concerned about a state sponsor of terrorist groups, such as Iran, acquiring nuclear weapons. He said it would be "incredibly destabilizing" and could cause a regional arms race.

Once the “Norkohms” get the missile finally properly engineered, which won’t be long, it will be too late.

[TADSLOS]

Couple this with the Saudis announcement last week saying they would allow the IAF overflight rights.

You're right.

[KoRn]

Meanwhile we rush to disarm...

[HiTech RedNeck]

The Saudis are getting nervous about Iran to buddy up to Israel like this. And you know what? Israel will hug the Saudis like they were old friends, they are so desperate for peace. They will probably even offer to cover Saudi Arabia with their own nuclear umbrella.

[Blood of Tyrants]

If there is any window for action at all, you can count on the zero to do nothing.

I observe viable yet less that verifiable threats now in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela’s Russian infested buildups there, surface and subsurface delivery. Then and only then do we address the IND’s....aka Improvised Nuclear Devices.

The question are these smokers and roman candle paperweights or .......not.

Even if they predict a 6kt warhead and it’s fooked in it’s assembly and design it could still produce a lower yield of say .6kt.......that would even leave a mark .

Just an opinion of course.....:o)

I think it's too late.

I think Iran is just waiting for Israel to attack.

Now that they have an ally in the White House, Iran is free to nuke Jerusalem and blame it on being provoked for no reason.

0bama is siding with Chavez regarding Honduras. Siding with Iran over Israel will come as no surprise.

Siding with Iran over Israel will come as no surprise.

If he did that, the Crooked Party would probably run Hillary against him in 2012, just for some insurance.
