#1 I am sure that the US and Israel have made plans for a raid on the Iranian nuclear facilities. Waiting still increases my anxiety level, though. I worry especially about the Black Turbans giving enriched U235, either raw, or or in the form of a device to proxies for their use in blackmail.

#2 Possibly, more than any single issue, Iran serves as the perfect bellwether for Europe's complete inability to act in their own interest. This crippling degree of inaction in the face of a massive threat mandates unilateral action by those with detectable blood concentrations of testosterone.

#3 Iran also serves as a truth test for Kerry.

He ignored it in his acceptance speech. Can he address the Iran issue credibly or even coherently when he's asked about it?

#4 I know everyone says that we can't bomb all the nuclear targets in Iran -- too many of them, too dispersed, too well guarded by defense systems, buried too well into civilian areas. Nope, nope, can't be done.

Sounds like a challenge for some Tomahawks and VERY precision guided weapons. Lots of them. Which we happen to have. Hmmmm ......
