Ominous War Drums Sound Again In The Middle East

WTF is wrong with Iran? Every year, they and North Korea play some insane game of Armageddon chicken that's getting increasingly old. Sooner or later, we're not going to be able to swerve in time. Recently, North Korea played a deadly round of this crap that killed dozens of innocent people and nearly led to a new war. Now comes Iran screaming like a child having a tantrum that they want nukes and that's that.

On Tuesday, June 7, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad termed Iran's nuclear program "a train with no brakes or reverse gear" after Tehran announced the deployment of submarines in the Red Sea. Wednesday, Iran's vice president and atomic chief Fereydoon Abbasi Davani said Iran's 20-percent uranium enrichment work would be transferred from Natanz to Fordo this summer. Enrichment would be tripled, he said, by improved centrifuges.

Let that last paragraph sink in for a minute. Iran just said "We're getting nukes and there's nothing you can do about it Israel. ;-P MMMMMMMLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAA. Oh and by the way everyone, we're sending in our new subs to the Red Sea that we've secretly built and whose specs are largely unknown just to really stick it in."

I'm pretty sure, the Israelis are not going to like that one bit. A nuclear armed Iran would be very, very bad. Their response may happen sooner than later and a pre nuclear strike of Iran is not totally out of the question in this new scenario.

The funny thing about all this is, we've known about this facility being built in Frodo since 2009. Obama and Sarkozy went on television and announced their findings of this new facility in Frodo and demanded access. They were granted immediate access to which three UN teams found no evidence of nuclear facilities. Yet, here we are two years later and we find out from Iran that Frodo is indeed a nuclear facility. How does one get a job in IEAE? A brain does not seem to be one of them and these idiots are as reliable as the Army Corp of Engineers or the FBI in doing anything correct. Check out their success record? They did the same thing in North Korea and Pakistan. They couldn't find a radioactive source if they drank it themselves.

Iran just accused the US and Isreal of provoking war with them which as far as I can tell seems to be from us doing absolutley nothing. It's actually shocking how little we are actually doing. This is a common feint in war where you blame the enemy for aggression, like Hitler and the Japanese in WW2 who both used this trick.

So the war drums beat once again. Like they do every year. Only this time we keep hearing about nukes. And that is new. And frightening.
