They are also attempting to negotiate with Russia for an alternate supply route. This after Taliban fighters blew up a bridge across the Khyber river gorge last week, which has the NATO forces now dependent on air supply only. The Iranians will open the route as it provides them with many advantages: 1. It gives them a lever over the US in any future disputes. 2. It allows (even encourages) the US to continue this idiotic campaign in Afghanistan, an irrelevant backwater if ever there was one. While allowing Iran to concentrate on the Arab states around the Gulf. 3. It provides much needed jobs for Iranians. in Iran unemployment is over 30%. Our enemies are playing chess, while US plays tiddlywinks.

To make itself dependent on a favor from Iran in order to carry on in Afghanistan - to no foreseeable end - is the height of folly. But what better could be expected from an Obama-Clinton administration? Yes, I see it the same way, r in f.

And besides Iran only wants the bomb for peaceful purposes contrary to the Israeli way of thinking.

And what might those peaceful purposes be, Nathan? Do you happen to know what a bomb is used for, especially the nuclear ones? “Wants the bomb for peaceful purposes?” And what might those peaceful purposes be, Nathan?
