I ain't feeling the love here...
Development of Iranian multiple-warhead missile worries, U.S.A., IsraelIran's push for nukes isn't a good sign. MIRV missiles aren't a good sign either. Put the two together, and you've got big trouble.. But - they might be lying. Check out the comments here.TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran's military said Friday it successfully test-fired a missile not detectable by radar that can use multiple warheads to hit several targets simultaneously, a development that raised concern in the United States and Israel.
The Fajr-3, which means "victory" in Farsi, can reach Israel and U.S. bases in the Middle East, Iranian news media indicated.
"I think it demonstrates that Iran has a very active and aggressive military program under way," U.S. State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said in Washington.
And let it not be said that the Democrats don't take security seriously.
CNN.com - McKinney: Race sparked tiff with police - Mar 31, 2006It may be true, but you'd better not say it. How dare we expect she actually go by the established security protocols. After all, she's 'special'.WASHINGTON (CNN) -- As U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Georgia, faces possible criminal charges for a Wednesday altercation with a Capitol Police officer, one of her lawyers said Friday that the real issues were "sex, race and Ms. McKinney's progressiveness."
In a news conference featuring actor Danny Glover and singer Harry Belafonte, McKinney said she would be exonerated and that "this whole incident was instigated by the inappropriate touching and stopping of me, a female, black congresswoman."
I hope like hell her 'progressive' attitude toward security isn't shared by the rest of the Democratic party. Frankly, her worst enemy stares out of her mirror in the morning.
And as long as we're speaking of the Democrats - after a panel of ex-FISA judges say that no laws were broken... Bloomberg.com: U.S.
March 31 (Bloomberg) -- Patrick Leahy, the senior Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he is ``inclined to believe'' it's appropriate to censure President George W. Bush over his eavesdropping authorization.
Leahy made his comments at a hearing today in Washington to consider a resolution by Senator Russell Feingold, a Wisconsin Democrat, chastising the president for ordering government monitoring without warrants of calls and e-mails between people in the U.S. and terrorism suspects Okay, that really shows they're serious about beating a dead horse. Censure him, but he didn't do anything wrong according to the FISA judges... that's about the level of sanity I expect from the Democratic Party these days.
Okay, I know I'm being picky here - but is it really expecting too much for the Dems to stop slavering over the possibility of getting Bush in trouble and for them to pay attention to what's going on regarding illegal aliens demonstrating, Iran getting froggy, and their own people acting in ways that (if they had an R for their party affiliation) would normally have them screaming bloody murder? It was one thing when it was just Iraq and the WoT - but Iran's hot pursuit of nukes and their ability to (apparently) field an operational stealthed MIRV, AND the real possibility of severe problems with illegal aliens should be getting their attention. If the Democratic party gets its way, they're going to be in power without a plan and without a clue - and trying to wing AFTER they get into power is going to be a complete and total disaster. I'm thinking Civil War style disaster here at home, with the occasional nuke somewhere in the ME or Europe for punctuation.
And I'm REALLY supposed to take them seriously when they say they can handle the job. Man, they're asking an awful lot. I'd feel better if I thought they actually had a clue about what the job entailed. Because from what I've seen, they don't. And they won't have time to get up to speed - they'll have to hit the ground running. If they get into power again, that is - and I consider it more likely that the party's going to implode first. Which won't do the country one bit of good.
Man, I hate living in interesting times.
