Cheerful Headline Of The Day...

...courtesy Joel Rosenberg's blog:

"Iran is now a 'nuclear state', President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced this morning," reports the London Daily Mail.

"He spoke as tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Tehran to mark the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution. There are fears of violence as opposition and pro-government supporters are expected to meet at rallies in a show of popular strength unmatched since the revolution itself. Today Ahmadinejad told scores of cheering Iranians that the Islamic Republic is capable of producing weapons-grade uranium….He spoke as tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Tehran to mark the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution. There are fears of violence as opposition and pro-government supporters are expected to meet at rallies in a show of popular strength unmatched since the revolution itself. Today Ahmadinejad told scores of cheering Iranians that the Islamic Republic is capable of producing weapons-grade uranium….

"'We have the capability to enrich uranium more than 20 percent or 80 percent (the level needed to create an atomic bomb),' he said in a speech broadcast live on state television.'"

Congratulations, Mr. President, your failure is complete.  Now the only question is how long it'll be until Iran makes a couple of nukes and hands them over to the likes of Al Qaeda to suicide detonate in Israel and the U.S.

Won't that be a cheerful headline, too?

Of course, I suspect Israel would launch an all-out war against Iran before that happens.  I also suspect Obama would do nothing of the sort.  Lucky us.

There's my two cents.
