* DEFENCE FORUM INDIA > NETANYAHU TELLS AMERICA ITS NOW OR NEVER, to stop Iran's Nucprog.

US must either attack Iran ASAP in 2013, or else accept an inevitably Nuke-Armed Iran + by extens Radical Islamist Militant-Terror Groups. US WILL NOT HAVE THE WILL TO ATTACK IRAN, OR ELSE NOT BE ABLE TO ATTACK IRAN WIDOUT HIGH RISK OF SUFFERING MAJOR CASUALTIES VEE ANTI-US NUCLEAR COMBAT/INSURGENCY.

* SAME > IRAN MAY BE CLOSE TO PLUTONIUM BOMB, GERMAN DEFENSE EXPERTS WARN.

We may find out soon enuff as per NOKOR's upcoming, possibly multiple NucTest(s)???

* SAME > URANIUM [+ possibly Plutonium, other]NUCLEAR MATERIALS FROM BOMBED SYRIAN REACTOR [2007] ARRIVES IN IRAN THROUGH IRAQ.

versus

* WAFF > LE MONDE:THIRD WORLD WAR MAY START IN TURKEY.

IIUC, may start indirectly vee increasingly violent competition for national power between rigidly Ultra-Conservative or Traditionalist Turkic Muslims whom seek Western approval by espousing or adopting seemingly "Western" values, versus "Liberal" or pro-Modernist/Reform Secular Muslims whom seek newfound domestic political-n-influence power by espousing or adopting Ultra-Conservative or Traditionalist, ANTI-WESTERN ANTI-MODERNIST VALUES.

OH THE HOOKAH-MANITY - TALK ABOUT "WAVY-GRAVY", TOPSY-TURVY, "YANG-YIN", INVERSE OF THE CONVERSE OF THE PRO-VERSE ... @ETC. FICKLE/FINNICKY RELATIONSHIPS.

BAD GUYS ARE THE GOOD GUYS WHILE THE GOOD GUYS ARE THE BAD GUYS????

D ***NG IT, HOW CAN WE WIN THE WAR!?
