Iran’s nuclear and political ambitions

According to an article this evening that appeared in WorldNetDaily.Com (WND),Tanzanian customs officials have uncovered an Iranian smuggling operation. It appears that Iran is transporting large quantities of bomb-making uranium from the mines in the Congo.

These mines provided the nuclear material for the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima sixty-one years ago.

"The smuggled uranium discovered by Tanzanian customs agents was hidden in [a] shipment of coltan, a rare mineral used to make chips in mobile telephones. According to the manifest, the coltan was to be smelted in the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan after being shipped to Bandar Abbas, Iran’s largest port."

Perhaps it is time to recognized the threat. Liberals stand by. Nuclear weapons and missiles do not differentiate liberal from conservative, Jew from Christian, or any [other] ethnic, social or sexual persuasion. We are in "deep kimchee" and those on the left along with their political pundits do not realize it.
