#1 Panetta reiterated a 2007 National Intelligence Estimate which assessed that Iran had halted its active nuclear weaponization program in 2003..."The last thing we need in the Middle East is a nuclear arms race," he said.

He didn't get the memo on Syria and Libya? And he trusts Pakistan to secure the nukes? Wanna buy a bridge to nowhere?

#3 US government officials are confirming Iran just successfully test-fired a 1,200 mile range nuclear capable missile. It is a new version of the more-accurate solid fuel Sajjil, capable of reaching Israel and Europe.

#4 Between this and the "we don't know where all of Pak's nukes are" story I'm thinking ol' Leon oughta just keep his big mouth shut.

Once Barry has boinked it for the dems and a republican comeback is realized in 2010 and possibly 2012, I can easily see this becoming Alamo America. Mooslims take over the UK and the Euros. The ANC and the communists take Africa....we end up being the only island of freedom and democracy left standing.
