Default Iranian Missiles - Target America - 2015

There is no dearth of information and commentary on the Internet regarding a recently declassified Defense Department report acknowledging Iranian missiles could reach well into our borders by 2015. I randomly chose Reuters for a link.

Iran has worked with North Korea since the 1980's on missile delivery systems. They have also worked with China and Russia to enhance their missile arsenal and capabilities. At a 2005 Tehran conference entitled "World without Zionism", Ahmadinejad asked, "Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism?" The boogie man than added, "But you had best know that this slogan and this goal are attainable, and, surely can be achieved." In a chilling summary, Ahmadinejad concluded that Iran had a strategic, "war preparation plan" for what it called the "destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization". Hmmm....and just who does he mean by Anglo-Saxons? What exactly is there about those comments and Iran's obvious push for nuclear weapons and delivery systems that the Obama administration does not understand.

If my interpretation of recent current events is correct, Obama has been insulting our allies, most recently scolding President Karzai of Afghanistan, and Israel, our front line of defense in the Middle East. while bowing and flirting coyly with his best new friends and our avowed enemies.

The Really Scary Part - Further, incredibly and/or depending on your perspective...insidiously, the Obama administration quietly cancelled the Airborne Laser aircraft program. As knowledgeable, astute TOTV posters, you might ask, "What was that all about" and you would learn that the Airborne Laser program involved modified 747-F aircraft that fly off the Iranian coast and would have the capability of "vaporizing" and missile launch from Iran early in the launching phase. Google Airborne Laser for any additional reference you may need including its recent cancellation by the Obama administration.

What great Obama strategy in the interest of national security, is at work here? How does reducing and eliminating our Mideast missile defenses in the face of aggressive Iranian pursuit of nuclear weapons and delivery systems capable of reaching our shores make me sleep better at night. How does this "strategy" comfort my concerns for my children and grandchildren?
