#1 Perhaps more importantly, IIUC this REPORT urges POTUS-ELECT BARACK to take a strong Policy(s)stance = action ASAP vee IRAN, NORH KOREA, and SSSSHHHHHHHHHHH ALL-ROADS-INTERSECT-IN-PAKISTAN PAKISTAN, in order to preclude or prevent such an event.

WHile IRAN steadily nuclearizes, the Militants-Terrs hope that US-ASIAN GEOPOLITICS + CORRECTNESS, ETC. WILL INDUCE THE US TO CONTAIN ITSELF TO AFGHANISTAN-PAKISTAN, ESSENS LEAVING THE JIHAD [mostly] FREE TO ATTACK AND DESTABILIZE LARGE AREAS OF MAINLAND ASIA + OTHER, BUT ESPEC ASIA [Russia, China, India = NUC/WEAPTECHS, MANPOWER, SUPPOR].

#2 Mayans already have Congress beat by centuries. Dec. 21, 2012 game over, or they ran out of paper....

#3 "It is more likely than not that a weapon of mass destruction will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013," the report read.

Futurists, how they amaze me.

#4 We will know quickly afterwards when the Iranians have a nuke.
It will go off in some city in the US.
I hope the sissies and limp wrists in DOS eventually realize that you cannot negotiate for peace with people who want to die.
Every diplomat in the world who has a tuxedo and a martini shaker has been to Teheran and tried negotiating with Ahmendinutjob and they are still working on the freaking nuke. When do these morons that keep wanting to talk and make nice finally realize that Iran wants a nuke because their apocalyptic version of Islam wants a war?
I hate to say it but we will have a city somewhere in the US, Britain, Spain or Germany DISAPPEAR in the next TWO years if we don't turn those nuke sites in Iran into sheets of nuclear glass.

#5 It appears to me that this situation is almost the same as Chamberlain faced during 1936. Hitler made threats, and Chamberlain, remembering the horrors of WW1, would do almost anything to avoid that situation again.

Hitler knew this and gave Chamberlain a worthless piece of paper, and Chamberlain projected all his hope and change on it and declared the Munich Agreement a success.

Similarly, Dinnerjacket makes threats of nuclear war, building nukes, firing missiles, and gets the diplos on both sides of the pond in a tizzy. The only thing is that Dinnerjacket has no intention of making an agreement with the West. He plays the limp wristed diplos like a fish, while he buys time for U2235 enrichment and who knows what weapons development or plutonium process or acquisition to take place.

This is pure mass denial on the part of the West. The diplos and leaders all hope against all evidence that DJ won't get a nuke.

The US is in transition, and she is perceived as weak and preoccupied. DJ is in a good position, except that his pet project is costing lots, and he is running out of money.

I do hope that we and/or Israel have plans and assets in place to neutralize the threat. DJ may be full of threats and bluster, but if he is not total BS, he could also have a nuke. Saddam did not have a nuke, but it was not because he was not trying.

DJ has made public threats. The leaders in the West have not acted upon those threats, which is totally irresponsible.

#6 I predict that there will be 4-6 major terrorist incidents inside the US during Obama's term, including a Beslan type incident. And 1-2 of those will be WMD strikes.

In return, we will do much as Clinton did, lob protests and UN resolutions and maybe a few cruise missiles.

In response, I predict that mosque burning will be the new sport and the initial stages of Cowboy's and muslims. You will also see muslim enclaves in the inner cities growing much like they are in france with the same sorts of effects.

#7 "Were one to map terrorism and weapons of mass destruction today, all roads would intersect in Pakistan," the report added.

Congressional report writers must have been reading Rantburg posts.

#8 AP - another link is that the Iranians may be facing an economic meltdown at home (already starting without the deep resources of other countries to pull out of the spiral), and facing internal discord, may try that age-old "external enemies"tactic to distract. I see Iran lashing out more to keep internal control than jihad-exportation

#10 ION NEWSCIENTIST > [Scientists]MEGATHRUST EARTHQUAKE COULD HIT ASIA AT ANY TIME.

As times before, "CLIMATE/LAND CHANGES" = REGIONAL-GLOBAL DIASPORAS = induce or cause many people vee INDONESIA, EAST-SOUTH ASIA TO MIGRATE TO GUAM-WESTPAC IN SEARCH OF RECOVERY AND A NEW LIFE, AND EXCLUSIVE = NOT COUNTING THE ANTICIPATED US MARINE RELOCATION TO GUAM FROM OKINAWA OR OTHER LOCAL US MIL BUILDUP.

* FYI GUAM BUILDUP > JAPAN is refusing to fund the construx of a US-desired new airfield in suppor of the realignment of US forces in Japan, + JAPANESE LABOR UNION ON OKINAWA is now protesting the transfer of US Marines to Guam [want absolute assurances/guaranties on US $$$ benefits for MILBASE WORKERS, + right of curr Japanese Base employees to transfer and find Base(s)work on Guam and remit $$$ back to Japan-Okinawa].
