#1 Acting prime minister Ehud Olmert must take into account that a ruling party which allows an Iranian nuclear explosion to take place six days before the poll would draw painful punishment from the voter.

Starting to look like a strategy. Booom a country at election time and watch the populace tumble to the left at the polls. Watch the lefties's run screaming to get out of the "War on Terror" once their hit and watch the new government do just that.

Worked in Spain and in France. Some success in Britain...

The EU certainly tumbles left. Somewhere over the mid-Atlantic though, things change. I'd suspect a sharp tumble back right with a hit in North America. Same goes for Israel.

Interesting tactic.

#4 The stage Iran has reached is comparable to Pakistanâs when it conducted its first nuclear tests in the nineties and North Koreaâs in 2001

I don't recall the NKs actually testing a nuke.....?

#5 That's because it didn't happen, Frank.

Let Iran have a test -- it's that much less uranium to worry about.

#6 The missile units were told to change positions âin a radius of 30-35 kilometersâ and only at night.

Virtually no effect on targeting, thank you.

#7 If they move the missiles there will be heat emissions from the trucks pulling them, right? And our satellites can see in the infrared? So we'll know where the things have been moved from and to. Thanks ever so much for being so sharp you cut yourself, Mullah-mad idiots!

#9 If they do test - then they better have 50 or so of the same design already on missiles.
