#1 This will be debunked pretty quickly. Nukes have a different wave profile than earthquakes.

#3 "If the report is correct, it would belie previous speculation that Iran would not begin nuclear testing until it had more nuclear-bomb production capability."

Flawed statement, because it relies on estimations of Iranian production capability. If they were indeed tests, then the assumption must be that the Iranians have long had production capability.

And that, in turn, means that they got uranium or plutonium from North Korea.

#5 "How long does it take to build a naval base?"
TW, we already have 11 of them, complete with air wings, that can be there in about 3 weeks or less.
Stationary ones take a bit longer, and don't turn into the wind.

#9 ION CHINESE MILITRYA FORUM > INDIA, MALAYSIA, AND THAILAND AT HIGHEST POLITICAL AND SOCIAL RISK IN ASIA, mainly due to INTERNAL UNREST AND INSTABILITIES. CHINA at lower - better threat ranking, but is also expected to have difficulties in 2009; + IHT > INDIA'S STRUGGLE TO FIND ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE. India slowly becoming more and more STRATIFIED = VIOLENTLY ANTI-DEMOCRATIC DESPITE ITS SEEMINGLY PLURALIST MULTI-ETHNIC/RELIGIOUS DEMOCRACY, as due to PAN-SECTAARIANIST MILITANTS' STRUGGLE FOR RIGHTS + IDENTITY.
