Not just Israel's problem
I continue to be swamped with work and will once again try to post shorter clips and have you click through today.The Wall Street Journal warns against what a nuclear Iran might do (full text here for those who don't have access to the Journal's website).
The Iranians can’t be that crazy?Indeed.
Well, yes, they can be, at least according to President Obama’s top intelligence adviser. In testimony yesterday to the Senate Intelligence Committee, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper warned that Iran’s leadership, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, “have changed their calculus and are now more willing to conduct an attack in the United States as a response to real or perceived actions that threaten the regime.”
Translation: Not only is Iran prepared to use terrorism in retaliation for any military strikes against it, they’re also prepared to get their retaliation in first. “There is more to unfold here,” he said. “They’re trying to penetrate and engage in this hemisphere.”
...
Mr. Clapper’s testimony comes as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is warning that Iran is about a year away from having a nuclear bomb. So here’s a question to those who oppose military strikes on Iran: If the regime is prepared to stage terrorist strikes in America when they don’t have a bomb, what will they be capable of when they do have one?
