The ever-vigilant IAEA finally came around today to what many other intelligence agencies had already concluded - Iran is on the verge of getting an atomic bomb and a missile delivery system to boot. www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,551501,00.html The U.S. answered with its own robust response - it canceled the anti-missile system bases in Poland and the Czech Republic designed to shoot these very missiles down. news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090917/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_us_missile_defense_35 Both Poland and the Czechs have been strong supporters of the U.S. bases and had put their necks on the line with Russia over allowing these bases. Obama has graciously responded by tossing them to the Russian Bear. What a guy!
It is now apparent that the U.S. is going to do nothing about Iran. Vice President Biden was quoted today as saying that the anti-missile system was pulled because the Iranians don't pose a threat. Europe is doing nothing and in fact is selling Iran all kinds of high tech equipment that is probably being used to create the bombs and/or missiles. The ball is now solely in Israel's court and there isn't much doubt that they do feel threatened in a big way. As the song goes, this could be the start of something big.
