Iran

President Ahmadinijad has announced that in spite of UN demands that the Iranians stop processing weapons grade uranium, they are going full speed ahead. So much for the CIA assessment that Iran had ceased it's weapons program, something the Democrats controlling Congress had pointed to in accusing the Bush Administration of uncalled for saber-rattling regarding the belligerent Islamic Republic of Iran. This morning, the London Times reports that missile sites have been discovered. The picture above Mr. Chamberlain is the site.

These are the missiles that could reach Europe. Why does this feel like October 1962 all over again? Or do I mean 1938? "peace in our time..."

The most generous statement I can make about Obama's approach (Let's sit down and talk) is that it is naive. In fact, the Neville Chamberlain-like comparisons to the pre-WW II appeasement of Hitler is unfair...to Chamberlain. Hitler had not been proven to be a liar yet. Ahmadinijad has already given us plenty of grist, as shown by his flaunting of his new centrifuges; in direct violation of UN mandates. This sounds like Iraq, but in this case, we KNOW where his WMDs are...and he's in our face about it. Not gas, not just missiles...but NUKES. Once again, the politicians and the media in the past have let Bush know that if he acts against Iran, the impeachment proceedings will start the next morning.

I am working on a much more in depth post on Iran, but this news is so timely that I wanted to post it right away.

More later,
