France Tells the World to Prepare for War Against Iran: Believes Force Will Be Required to Stop Iran's Renegade Nuclear Program

France's foreign minister told the world that a war with Iran may be necessary to put a stop to Iran's nuclear program once and for all.

Oh, really?

And how many troops, aircraft and ships will France and the rest of the world be contributing toward fighting this war? And is France willing to duke it out with Russia and China in the U.N. Security Council? And how many minesweepers will it send to the Persian Gulf to help clear the minefields that Iran is sure to deploy if fighting does break out?

Let France and its allies lead the fight against Iran, and we'll support them for a change instead of us carrying the workload and begging the world for help. We have two wars to wrap up before we mix it up with Iran.

Bush Administration Chooses New Nuclear Warhead Design; Critics Charge Hypocrisy in Move As Negotiations With North Korea and Iran Continue

The Bush Administration has chosen a new nuclear warhead design to replace aging warheads sitting atop ICBMs for more than twenty years.

The move is to match Russia’s announced upgrading of their entire nuclear missile inventory back in December of last year. The timing of the U.S. announcement couldn’t have come at a worse time.

With nuclear negotiations ongoing with North Korea and Iran, the move will undoubtedly be seen as hypocrisy on the part of the U.S. in upgrading its nuclear arsenal while talking to other nations about not developing their own nuclear arms.

There is a very fine line that Washington needs to walk at this moment, and announcing a new nuclear warhead design and plans to replace obsolete ICBMs with state-of-the-art ones isn’t a real smart idea.

North Korea’s already screaming about it; how far behind can Iran be?
