Column: Time's up on Iran | Columnists | Jerusalem Post

Moreover, as a recent study by Israeli missile expert Uzi Rubin shows, Iran already has several delivery options for its burgeoning nuclear arsenal. In a report published by The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Rubin, who has been awarded the Israel Defense Prize and oversaw the development of Israel's Arrow missile defense system, concludes that Iran today has the capacity to develop solid-fuel-based intermediate ballistic missiles with a range of 3,600 kilometers. That is, today, Iran has the capacity to attack not only Israel and other states in the Middle East. Since its successful test of its solid-fuel based Sejil missile in May, it has the demonstrated capacity to attack Europe as well.

So, in the NeoConfused dictionary, the "capacity to develop" is the equivalent of the "capacity to attack"?

By that logic an acorn can be cut into board feet of oak lumber

The US "needs" an ogre for their "whack a mole" fear machine. Kim Jong ? Castro ? Iran ? Any others I left out ? Come on. They have to be "over there" you know, with water in between, so the ships get a good photo op.
