US military chief in Iran warning

Iran has enough nuclear material to build a bomb, the US' most senior military commander has said.

"We think they do, quite frankly," Adm Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, told CNN.

"And Iran having a nuclear weapon, I've believed for a long time, is a very, very bad outcome for the region and for the world," he said.

Iran says its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful, but the West suspects it is seeking nuclear weapons.

WILL OBAMA TAKE ACTION OR TALK?

• HILLARY THREATENED TO ANNIHILATE IRAN IF THEY USED A BOMB.
• BUT THAT'S TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.
• THE WEST MUST ACT PREEMPTIVELY.
• THAT MEANS BEFORE THEY HAVE A BOMB.
• IMHO, OBAMA WILL FAIL: HE DOESN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO TO THE RIGHT THING, AND BELIEVES THAT A NUCLEAR IRAN IS NOT A CATEGORICALLY UNACCEPTABLE THREAT.

• BASED ON HOW HE HANDLED THE WRIGHT CRISIS AND THE BURRIS CRISIS AND DASCHLE/GEITHNER ET AL THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE HE WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND DO THE RIGHT THING:
  
• HE SWORE HE COULDN'T DUMP WRIGHT ANYMORE THAN DUMP HIS TYPICAL WHITE GRANDMA - BUT THEN DUMPED HIM A FEW WEEKS LATER.
  
• THIS SHOWS A LACK OF PRINCIPLE AND A LACK OF MORAL COURAGE.
  
• IT TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF BOTH TO BE AN EFFECTIVE POTUS.
• BUSH DEMONSTRATED BOTH WITH THE SURGE - WHICH OBAMA AND BIDEN AND REID AND PELOSI ALL OPPOSED.

BOTTOM-LINE: AS OBAMA RUINS THE ECONOMY OF THE USA (WITH HIS PORK AND TAX INCREASES) - AND HENCE RUINS THE WORLD'S ECONOMY, OBAMA WILL ALSO WEAKEN THE FREE WORLD'S SECURITY (BY APPEASING OUR FOES AND CUTTING DEFENSE BUDGET) AND BY DOING NOTHING TO STOP IRAN FROM GETTING THE BOMB.

OBAMA UNCHECKED WILL THEREBY SOON BRING ABOUT AN UNPRECEDENTED CALAMITY.

WE MUST STOP HIM, OR BRACE OURSELVES FOR UNIMAGINABLE HORROR.
