#4 U.S. officials said the missileâs range could be extended to 6,500 kilometers, which would enable any Taepo Dong-2 fired by North Korea to land in the United States.

A 6,500 km range from Iran would cover all of Europe, most of China, Russia and Africa, but falls short of the US. Think they'll notice? Nah.

Aaaah yes but the Mullahs can hit them pesky Jooooos. Of course that would be the last memory for the Ayatollahs before the found themselves "glowing" amongst the 72 vestial virgins. But, that is a minor detail.

#6 If a nuclear missile is headed for Tel Aviv, and the Israelis have some 200 nuclear missiles, what possible motive could they have for NOT wiping out every single Moslem nation on the planet?

Just based on the assumption that only a few Israeli Jews remain, and that the vast majority of the Jews left in the world live in the US, WHY NOT?

I'm just asking for a single reason.

#7 things are going to get dicey...if the mulla's get hold of inter-cont missles all bets are off..the US will have to take pre-emptive action..and not just regime change...but nuclear strikes..time is not on our side with this one..

the euros have failed miserably in regards to iran and we are now in a holding pattern till after the elections...

#8 Plutonium created by the Bushehr reactor makes very compact bombs easily lofted by missles, due to weight reduction. If the Iranians could get the plans from the Paks, all they need is the Plut. Either Israel or the US is going to have to take Bushehr out, as well as U235 centrifuges, election or no, or there will be hell to pay for everyone. Including the Black Turbans.

#9 N. Korea puts long-range missile on the market - why can't they do model change in August like civilized nations. If the North Koreans were members, our contractors would have recourse with the WTO. Also the Chinese could file a complaint about flooding the market with products produced with labor that is not being paid a âliving wageâ â¦literally.
