Took ya long enough to figure that one out ... sheesh!
The fact that it takes Dems soooooooooo long to figure this stuff out truly amazes me. Of course, when you have your head buried in the sand, it does cut off any oxygen, so I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised, eh?
Morons.

Thoughts on Iran
I've been watching the goings on in Iran with some interest, and have been inspired by the way the Iranian people are standing up to the theocratic dictators as they demand their freedom. The reaction of the theocratic thugs has been predictable - beatings, using water cannons, arrests, and yes, even killings.
For years now, our government administration (both Democrat and Republican) has been urging the Iranian people to rise up, and now that they have, what is our current administration doing? Nothing. Apparently government run universal health care is more important at the moment, as Charles Krauthammer notes here. Iran is ripe for the plucking right now - the plucking from the hands of the dictators the fundamental individual rights of freedom for the Iranian people - and the idiot "in charge" here is in so far over his head that he has no idea what an opportunity for real "Hope and Change" is laid out before him. Disgusting.
As I've been watching what has been happening in Iran, one thing has struck me as quite amazing. The Iranian women. They are considered second class citizens in present Iranian culture (fostered and enforced by the theocratic thugs in power), and yet it is they who are, many times, in the forefront of the protests. Minus their hijabs (head coverings), I might add. They have the most to lose by putting themselves in the forefront, yet they also have the most to gain - their personal freedom from the tyranny of the theocratic thugs.
Let us hope that those who are rising up will prevail in their quest for freedom, and not the thugs who want to suppress them.

Tunneling Near Iranian Nuclear Site Stirs Worry
As reported here, [t]he sudden flurry of digging seen in recent satellite photos of a mountainside in central Iran might have passed for ordinary road tunneling. But the site is the back yard of Iran's most ambitious and controversial nuclear facility, leading U.S. officials and independent experts to reach another conclusion: It appears to be the start of a major tunnel complex inside the mountain.
The question is, why? Worries have been stoked by the presence nearby of fortified buildings where uranium is being processed. Those structures in turn are now being connected by roads to Iran's nuclear site at Natanz, where the country recently started production of enriched uranium in defiance of international protests.
The answer to that question is fairly simple and straightforward, and I've posted about this many times before - Iran's leaders want Iran to become a nuclear power, possessing nuclear weapons, so they can pursue their dream of recreating the Caliphate with them at it's head, on a world-wide basis. They want to Islamicise the entire world - whether anyone else wants them to or not - and to do this they feel that they need to have nuclear weapons, regardless of how many times they deny that they desire a source of nuclear energy, "for peaceful purposes", and not nuclear weapons.
If they do manage to produce nuclear weapons (through their own means and the ineptitude of the rest of the world), they will first bully their neighbors in the region to bow to their will under threat of nuclear holocaust, and then once they have consolidated their hold over the Middle East, they will then turn their eyes north to Europe and Russia, and east to China. Once they have Europe, Russia, and China under their influence, they will then look to the US, using resources they will be able to obtain from Europe, Russia and China (i.e. ICBM's), to try to make us bend to their will as well.
Will the world sit back and simply allow Iran's leaders see their plans come to fruition? I don't see much happening that will stop Iran's leaders at the present time. Hopefully, those in power now and those who will be in power in the near future will wake up, before it's too late.

Iran Nuclear Bomb Could Be Possible by 2009
As reported here, Iran has more than tripled its ability to produce enriched uranium in the last three months, adding some 1,000 centrifuges which are used to separate radioactive particles from the raw material.
The development means Iran could have enough material for a nuclear bomb by 2009, sources familiar with the dramatic upgrade tell ABC News.
These centrifuges, which are not as yet operational, are located at Natanz in a hardened facility, 70 feet underground. I've posted about this several times in the past, and I have one question for those who think Iran only wants to develop nuclear technology for "peaceful purposes".
Are you willing to bet, not your next paycheck, not your house, car or boat, but your life that Iran only wants to develop nuclear technology for "peaceful purposes"?
I'm not!
