1. IAEA reports that Iran has 7,200 centrifuges ready for production, with 4,900 operating and 2,300 installed but inactive. This is enough, according to the report, to create enough weapons grade uranium for two nuclear weapons per year. 2. President Obama is reportedly nonetheless prepared to move ahead with talks with Iran "without preconditions," while others question the wisdom of such a move at this late stage in Iranian nuclear development. 3. Pentagon reports that Pakistan diverted massive funds intended for counterinsurgency capabilities against al-Qaeda and the Taliban, and instead used them for maintaining its conventional forces for defense against India. Not without irony, Pakistan has asked the US to forgive outstanding debts. 4. Palestinian news reported that Fatah says Hamas is preparing for a coup in the West Bank. 5. In Somalia, a Minnesota Somali youth has been reported killed fighting against government forces there, while top al-Qaeda linked insurgent leader, Sheikh Aweys, is believed to have been wounded but not killed.

Iran is on a fast track toward becoming a nuclear power. Obama will talk and say nice things about Islam and quote the Koran and say what a great religion Islam is, when the truth is something else. Obama will point his finger at Israel and tell them what they must do. And seek to tie a west bank solution to peace in our time. While all this is happening the Iranian bomb get closer and closer and Israels trigger finger gets more itchy. The onrushing events will soon over take Obama and his appeasement and the result will not be pretty---something he hasn't seen in his Utopian view of the world. Sands will melt in the desert and Obama will wring his hands and the dogs of war will be unleashed.
