The ultimatum is 30 days, which puts the refusal on April 3. So the clock should be reset to four weeks from its present three weeks.

You got that right! It sounds like you've already read John Haggee's, "Jerusalem Countdown". Available under $9 at your nearest Costco store. If not, make the investment. You won't be able to put it down.

All they need to do is pull the trigger.

The only way Israel has the ability to shut down Iranian Nuke sites is to use Nukes of their own.
Israel won't do that unless the intel shows such an attack on themselves is imminent.

Two words: muslims lie. All you need to remember.

The implication being Christians don't?

Interesting article. Some of it is correct, some isn't.

>>>It's starting to look like Iran's strategy is to stall and outlast the Bush Administration, then hope the next President is weaker... <<<

I believe I read, or heard, that President Bush has explicitly stated he will not pass the problem of a potential nuclear Iran on to the succeeding administration.

At any rate - this problem will not wait - certainly not until Nov. 2008. Israel will act before then - way before then - in my estimation.

The implication being that Christians do not give credibility to a book which calls upon its believers to lie and tells them how, when and to whom to lie.

Their unholy book directs them to lie to Infidels, and then kill them

Is that before or after they try to convert them to islam?

I'll grant you that. Still it's all relative...you and me grew up in a predominately Christian society. I believe we must understand the Muslims in order to live harmoniously with them. If not, well, I guess we'll continue to fight until one or the other are wiped off the planet. Not a good future for our children.

Good summary. Amazing how history repeats itself. Iran is hoping for some Neville Chamberlain type to appear in the US, who will lower the pressure and allow them to dominate the ME. Worst case scenario in following that path will eventually lead to the destruction of Israel, the emergence of an axis counter weight to the west, of Iran, China, Russia and other rouge states.

The Dems have no choice but to go along. If they're going to play the "we're tough on defense" shtick, this is their chance to play the roll or fall back to being wimps again.

But Israel is not constrained to this 30-day timeline.

Why is it not possible? This is not the first time I've heard this. I understand we've got that capability ourselves.
