You have to wonder whether the Israeli people are being told exactly what the ramifications of going to war with Iran are going to be? I mean, if they're being told that the tourist industry, which is big money there, will end and that the Iranians have much larger missiles than the piddly things that get tossed out of the occupied territories - if they're informed and still want to go thru with this then there really is no hope for them. I imagine the Armageddonists here are just frothing at the mouth - and getting ready for the Coming (that won't).

Yeah, and the possibility of Israel doing what the UN dictates is ... what?

And his kind of religious zealotry is no different...rest assured that IF he could have ever become President, he surely would nuke them...so, Rick, the difference between you and them is...?

No, Ricky, there is no difference...except...they don't have a suicidal tendency so they most likely would not use a nuke...but you still would, wouldn't you? That makes YOU the wacko, religious fanatic, not them. Friggin' idiot. And there are people out there who would willingly vote this clown into the White House.

Seriously, what give these people like Santorum and Bachmann and Newtie even the slightest idea that they might ever become President? Seriously. Maybe Santorum has been drinking the Fracking poisoned water in PA.

Sooooo, the US is in secret unilateral meetings with the Taliban without inviting Karzai...and now the US/NATO wants to reduce the size of the Afghan military... Hey Karzai, you got that warm fuzzy about this turn of events?

It used to be that Congressional committee hearings were used to seek and reveal the truth. Now, they only seem to be used to push an agenda of lies, innuendo, posturing and chest-thumping uninterested in even considering the truth.

As if there was ever any question as to the outcome of this farce. Don't expect there to be any revelations during the court-martial. The defendant will be found guilty regardless of what evidence is presented.

Good Ole Reuters...and I thought the AP was bad about "unnamed sources" but Herr Fredrik Dahl (and his editors Michael Roddy and Andrew Heavens) take the cake for incendiary statements without a name to tag it on. The whole issue revolved around the Iranians allowing a visit by the IAEA inspectors, at a later date, to Parchin, which as Jason points out is a designated non-nuclear site to which access is not required by treaty. Of course Herr Dahl neglected, for want of space, no doubt, to mention that - of course that would have changed the blatant message Herr Dahl (and his edotirs) was pushing.

"...when Israel stole the nuclear bomb secrets." I would not be surprised if they didn't steal the secrets but that the nuke plans were given to them by some "well meaning" American official (politician/military/scientist - or general functionary). There is a cancer on the American government in the form of many, many "well meaning" people who owe allegiance to more than one government.

One must especially be on the lookout for users who visit the Wikileaks site or mirrors. These people are extremely dangerous to governments who claim transparency but only if THEY reveal what it is THEY are doing out of the sight of the citizenry - which is not very often and when done one must wonder what the real motivation and goal is because it surely isn't what they're telling you it is...just sayin'.

You can smell it on them...
