Are you feeling safe yet?

While Iran tests nuclear missiles capable of hitting Israel and parts of Europe (a purely peaceful exercise), Obama dashes off to Copenhagen to plead for Chicago Olympics. Oh yes, and our military in Afghanistan is vulnerable because of his inaction. He's just too busy to think about or talk to McChrystal. Remember? That's the war he wanted us to fight! When he was campaigning.

"Locked in a deepening dispute with the United States and its allies over its nuclear program, Iran was reported Monday to have test-fired long-range missiles capable of striking Israel and American bases in the Persian Gulf in what seemed a show of force," reports the New York Times' Alan Cowell.

"The reported tests of the Shahab-3 and Sejil missiles by the Revolutionary Guards were not the first conducted by Iran, but they came at a time of high tension, days after President Obama and the leaders of France and Britain used the disclosure of a previously secret nuclear plant in Iran to threaten Tehran with a stronger response, including harsher economic sanctions.

"Iran says it wants to develop a nuclear capacity for peaceful purposes but many in the west say it is seeking to create a nuclear weapons capability. Tehran says its missile tests have been planned for some time and are not linked to the nuclear dispute." NYT

Of course he's not thumbing his nose at Obama. That would be racist.
