Do you think it just began?

Actually, I think it began when the Lord threw Luicifer out of Heaven. It's coming to a rumbling close now.

Everywhere I look, I can see Biblical prophesy being fulfilled. RAPTURE READY?

I really wish I was a better person. All I have is my belief in Christ..even though I don't always walk in lockstep (as I should) with HIM. I truly believe we will face the scenario posed by the fiction books Left Behind within the next twenty five years at the very outside. Maybe I'll make it that far.

I agree. Park the anti Bush Bot crap, most of us are hard corps conservatives and don't want to see our country slide any further into the cesspool that's it headed. If I question Bush it's because he does not appear to be strong enough, vocal enough and God forbid, he may be supporting a plan to bring 100 million legal immigrants from the third world into our country. If even half of these immigrants are unskilled we are gonna' be in deep sh@X! Given the permissive nature of our society, liberally sprinkled with P/C surely anyone can see where that might lead us.

Aman without public confidence can't lead a nation. It's not a matter of permission, it's about consensus.

He's trying to please his conservative base in the midst of his screwup policy on immigration.

Problem is, it took almost a year before we could get parts from Sweden to make our cruise missles operable..

Is THAT what Tenet was talking about when he said 'we're not in a position to do anything about it just right now', that Woodward quoted?

"Minor quibble - this would be World War IV. Historians are finally starting to call the Cold War by its proper name, World War III.

Ronald Reagan won that war for us."

I guess we could get into specific definitions according to the dictionary or what not, but a struggle with the Soviets is not a World War to me, nor is our current struggle with the Islamic fascists. The combination of Russia/Chinese/Islamic alliance sets the stage for a true global conflict potentially involving hundreds of nations. Agreed, Reagan won the Cold War. I wish we had him around today. I felt safe as a teenager even under the threat of nuclear annihalation as I knew he had balls.

"Why would it necessarily have to be a missile? How about putting one on a passenger jet (whether the passengers know or not), flying over Tel Aviv, set for landing, and KABOOM! Quick decapitation of Israel's government and military structure.

Then what, tough guy?"

Almost all Western governments to the one have contigency plans and chain of command if the primary existing president, general or what not are taken out. What would happen is that Israeli jets stationed throughout the country would take off and launch nuclear armed missles at Iran. The country would more or less cease to exist. Every major military installation and city in Iran would be hit. The Iranian casualties would be in the tens of millions with many millions more perishing from lack of civilian necessities such as food/water and medicine, plus radiation casualties. The dilluded Iranian mullahs may indeed do this one day thinking allah will save them, when in fact this will be their final death sentence.

"A nuclear launch is an easy scenario. What happens if a weapon get carried in by truck with no easily descernable point of origin?
What are you going to do then?"

The origin of source for the nuclear material can be traced and do have spies in almost every nation on the globe. However, the difficult part of who to punish in the event of a terrorist nuclear attack is that this could come from Ukraine or other former Soviet states that sold nuclear material on the black market.

Ukraine itself made an unprecedented statement that 12 of it's ICBM's were 'unnacounted for'which wound up in Iran. I would assume nuclear material from Ukraine and other Soviet states (raw uranium & plutonium) have also got into the wrong hands.

"Russia I don't think we'd have an issue with.. China on the oter hand..."

Russia has cranked up it's proxy war against us, this time using Iran. This is a dangerous game because if we have a nuclear attack from terrorists here in America, Russia would also likely have some blamed assigned to it. If the uranium or plutonium came from Russia or from the reactors that Russia is helping Iran build, then we would likely send Russia a nuclear response similar to our own destruction.

"Iran because they been calling for the destruction of Israel and the US. Then we watch china and russia to see if they launch a counter attack,if they do then we have a full scale nuclear war. Thats what will happen. We wont sit on our ass and take nuclear damage even if we have to nuke the wrong nation. It will be Iran,russia, or china that will be behind said nuclear devices."

Exactly. As I posted to someone else here that thinks Russia is not a problem, we would know the nuclear material came from Russia through black-market with Russian government approval or through Russia supplying the part and training for Iran's reactors to produce the bomb. We would likely hit three or four Russian cities for their involvement which would certainly cause a full-scale response/counter response etc.
