TEHRAN, Iran – Iran test-fired a missile capable of striking Israel, U.S. Mideast bases and Europe on Wednesday — a show of strength touted by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as he battles for re-election next month against more moderate opponents.

Obama better hop on the next plane over to Iran so he can sit down and discuss this with Ahmadenejad. Then everything will be alright.

Isn't that the "change" he promised his voters? My guess is that that they'll be waiting a long time if they think that talking to Iran will scuttle nuclear intentions.

Israel is the timekeeper. Sit back and enjoy the show.

Iran is laughing at Obama.

Iran loves Obama as they continue their nuke program.

Default Question of when

Big Ben is in charge now,and he is not going to wait until Iran drops a nuke in his lap.If the Iranian election does not produce a policy change the Israelies will have no choice but to strike.The bad part is that Israel may get little or no support from the US.The new administration likely will force them to go it alone.After a strike on Iran the entire Muslim world will go bonkers,and then things will really heat up.

Looks like an Israeli issue not an American issue. Perhaps this should be posted on the Tel Aviv C-D board.

Nope. Hopefully we will get to see what those rockets can do real soon. I hope for the day that terrorist state is taken off the map.

Yes... preemptive strikes have been justified and worked incredibly well over the past several decades.

Israel is an independent nation. If Israel needs/wants to do this, that's Israel's business.

They're laughing at a lot of people and the laughter started well before Obama became President...

.If you're referring to Bush, I don't think that there is a dictator on the planet that for a minute doubted Bush's propensity to take the fight to their backyard. They certainly weren't laughing too hard because no one heard them. Can you really dispute that Bush didn't mean what he said when it comes to battling terrorist harboring nations?
