"This was aimed at America, not us," Ya'alon said of the missile development.

They don’t need nukes. Imagine how fast Obama would turn French if one of those things dropped in the middle of Manhattan.

Because if she said otherwise, it would be the truth, and she is psychologically incapable of telling the truth.

Iran has enough enriched uranium for 4 atom bombs.

My guess? Iran's plan will use two nukes to wipe out most of Israel - one to take out Tampa and the fourth to blackmail Washington - saying a suicide nut has the fourth in DC - ready and waiting if Obama resists. Four bombs in the hands of the crazies - many, many deaths.

Maybe if they fired the missile north over the north pole they could hit the USA or Canada. I don’t have a globe with me to check it out.

I’m safe but if the Moose Limbs get anywhere close to Memphis, the diversity will riot and go into anarchy and destroy the city themselves.

Here's another map, generated by http://www.wm7d.net/azproj.shtml. The yellow circle is a radius of 10,000 km from Tehran.
