So, our "friends" the Russians have sold Iran, "NOT OUR FRIENDS" something around $18 billion dollars worth of short range missiles. From the reports I have read, they did not list how short range these missiles could travel. Though, I strongly suspect that they could be used against Americans in Iraq or against our true friends the Israelis or any other American interest in the region. The Jerusalem Post reported that the IAEA's Muhamed el-Baradei claims Iran is only months away from a atomic bomb. (As I tried to open the link I emailed, I got an error so I apologize for not linking to the article). Then in Wednesday's Jerusalem Post, el-Baradei claims that the IAEA has found no "smoking gun" that Iran is manufacturing nuclear weapons. Of course the article states that the IAEA failed to detect Iran's undisclosed nuclear program for 18 YEARS! Doesn't the fact the IAEA head tells us Iran could develop weapons in months and now no "smoking gun" raise an alarm? It scares me to death. Iran is so secretive and unpredictable. Even more disturbing is the fact the IAEA missed Iran's activity for 18 YEARS....
Any event, Iran should be near the top of U.S Foreign policy. An attack or development of weapons in the region can ruin all the progress made in Iraq, Afghanistan and Israel/Palestinian conflict.
