Powell Says Iran Is Pursuing Bomb

SANTIAGO, Chile, Nov. 17 -- The United States has intelligence that Iran is working to adapt missiles to deliver a nuclear weapon, further evidence that the Islamic republic is determined to acquire a nuclear bomb, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said Wednesday.

<snip>

"I have seen some information that would suggest that they have been actively working on delivery systems. . . . You don't have a weapon until you put it in something that can deliver a weapon," Powell told reporters traveling with him to Chile for an Asia-Pacific economic summit. "I'm not talking about uranium or fissile material or the warhead; I'm talking about what one does with a warhead."

2. Sad part is
nobody is listening. It looks like the only people who are worried about the statements Powell is making about Iran are those of us who are worried about a draft. I would bet the farm (if I had one) by the end of Jan, we will see Rice making the case to invade Iran. So what will happen to Iraq? Well, what is happening with that first county we attacked and that guy we were suppose to go after, it just seems soooo long ago? :o
