Iran and Nukes

Submitted by PM (United States), Jun 4, 2006 at 17:41

Iran reportedly purchased four nuclear weapns from the Russians in 1991 according to a book by Yossef Bodansky. I do not know if this claim is true or not, but would not doubt it either. If we give the Iranians the benefit of the doubt regarding this issue, make no mistake that the US will respond in kind if the US (Israel as well) is struck by a tactical nuclear device from Iran or that originated in Iran. It is the Iranians and other Islamic extremists that advocate the destruction of Israel and its allies (aka: the US). Make no mistake, the US public is only so soft and will become very hard and determined if struck again even if a liberal takes the White House in a couple years.
