#1 I don't think that there is a question whether Iran will gain nuclear weapons. I don't think there is a question that the world will do nothing once Iran gains the weapons (Israel and the US are handcuffed. Nobody else has the guts.) I think the question remains what the US and Israel will be allowed to do once Iran, North Korea or Pakistan attacks another country with nuclear weapons.

#2 Iran will use the nuclear option once it gets it. They will not be guided by environmental issues, human rights issues, humanitarian concerns, or any of the other issues that Western civilization ~~has handcuffed itself with~~ is guided by.

#4 DEM CANDIDATE OBAMA > has said he will withdraw = seriously redux US milfors in Iraq, albeit "measured/calculated", and send them to Afghanistan-Paki where Osama + Taliban, etc. are. PAKISTAN for its part is still RESISTING US EFFORTS TO SEND TROOPS INTO ITS NW FRONTIER + REFUSES TO STOP ARMED ISLAMIST MILITANTS FROM CROSSING INTO AFGHANI TO FIGHT THE US-NATO + LOCAL GOVT.

Read - YOOHOO, RUSSIA-CHINA, US-NATO IN YOUR BACKYARD.

POTUS OBAMA > presuming that Barack makes good on his agenda, IRAN WILL HAVE AT LEAST THRU YEAR 2010 TO WORK ON ITS NUCDEV PROGS + LIKELY THRU 2012 [beyond?] as well. IOW, ODDS ARE VERY GOOD THAT ISLAMIST IRAN WILL GET NOT ONLY URANIUM BOMB TECH BUT ALSO PLUTONIUM BOMB TECH, besides ADVANC MISSLE TECHS + for other WMDS.

US REDIRECT TO AFGHANI-PAKISTAN > besides US-NATO vz. RUSS-CHIN politix, OSAMA + RADICAL ISLAM WILL LIKELY CHOOSE TO RELOC ITS CENTRE AND INTENSIFY ITS JIHAD THROUGHOUT ASIA [already active].

The RUSH LIMBAUGH histoire questionnez of the day is whether the US-NATO believe RUSSIA, CHINA, INDIA, SOUTH-SOUTHEAST ASIA, AUSTRALESIA, etc. CAN SUCCESSFULLY FIGHT INTENSIVE ISLAMIST INSURGENCIES WIDOUT US-NATO SUPPORT???

SHHHHHHHHH, GUAM-WESTPAC, YOOHOO, THIS MEANS YOU!
