Iranian militants in power stir fears

The rise of militants to power positions in Iran is raising new worries about Iranian military forces' deploying new weapons that threaten oil supplies or future long-range nuclear or chemical missile strikes.

Military specialists say the Islamist regime in Tehran has not invested heavily in the past decade in new tanks, armored vehicles or warplanes, but instead focused defense spending on "asymmetric" warfare capabilities. These include Iran's covert nuclear program and new Shahab-3 and older Scud missiles that could deliver nuclear, chemical and biological weapons hundreds of miles away.

So why would anyone be surprised by this? Islamofascist jihadi states will act like...Islamofascist jihadi states. That's what they do.

Just like the Nazi plan was written in Mein Kampf, the ideological framework of the Islamofascist jihad is written in THEIR book - The Koran.

More information on Miers - and it's not anything that is reassuring at all.

There's a lot of information on the SCOTUS confirmation on this site - it's definitely worth checking out.

H/T for this one to Laura Ingraham's site - which also has even more on the nomination.

Meanwhile, Ann Coulter also continues to be unimpressed with the Miers appointment in this post, and others.

There's a lot of other stuff out there on the problems with the nomination, ranging from Rush, to National Review Online, to Savage.

Enough already! The Chief has learned enough - what's needed at this point is a better appointment to the court. The short and long of it is that while Ms. Miers is an exemplary person in many ways - NOT for the SCOTUS. Best would be a new nomination, before Ms Miers and the President further embarrass themselves any further by pursuing this one.

Well, could it be because language like this isn't conducive to any sort of positive political discourse?Former Vice President Al Gore said Wednesday he had no intention of ever running for president again, but he said the United States would...
