After reading Sec. of State Hillary Clinton's remarks from yesterday ..and something that I read from Wired I think it was wired ... anyway ... . I think you are absolutely right about this ... and yes, Iran's still there -- been a month or two now since the intel assessment was updated to indicate the critical point in time will come at some point next year -- my take remains the same; either Iran changes course, or it's gonna be our mission (not Israel's, their forces will be tasked with defense of Israel [{linked in} http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=81799809 and preceding {and any future following}]) ... it sure seems so. I wouldn't bet against it that's for sure. She even mentioned the leaders as you have mentioned them .. she put it of course in an excellent strong way ... that leaves you no doubt about it ... . !
