We All Live In A Dolphin Submarine

For the first time in perhaps four years, Israel has sent a vessel through the Suez Canal; a Dolphin class submarine whose torpedo tubes can accomodate cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads. Since there is no way that Israel could send a submarine through the Suez without high level approval from Egypt, it is safe to say that this move is a reflection of the fact that Israel and Egypt are not waiting around for Marack's Iranian Nuclear Tea Party to serve the scones (throw Saudi Arabia into the mix as DEBKAfile confirms what I posted here a couple months ago; that Israel, Egypt, and the Saudis could not care less about Teh One's agenda and are actively moving to deal with Iran themselves).

Are you getting the message Marack? You are a failure, the principle players know it, and they are moving to handle this situation because you won't.

DEBKA also reports that Dolphins are stationed in the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean, in addition to the Mediterranean.

Also keep in mind that India successfully put the Israeli made RISAT-2 satellite in orbit this past spring which is giving these allies quite a nice view of Iran. I think Igogettajob has a booger sticking out of his nose. Someone give him a hanky.

While Israel, in conjunction with Egypt and Saudi Arabia, is dealing with the realities of a nuclear Iran, the newly elected head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Yukiya Amano, has gone out on a limb to declare that there is no evidence that Iran is attempting to produce nuclear weapons, at least the IAEA's documentation does not show him this.

"Uuuh...duh."

"I don't see any evidence in IAEA official documents about this."

And I can't see stars during the day, but I know they're there. Mr. Amano, I'm going to apply Occam's Razor to this. You let me know if this makes sense, okay?

Iran is testing ICBMs so that it can:

1. Send Europe FTD Tickler Bouquets...or
2. Put nuclear warheads on them.

Here's another thought. Perhaps IAEA documents fail to produce any evidence because the IAEA has not been able to fully inspect Iran's nuclear facilities, as it has no real authority to demand those inspections. I'm still trying to figure out what the IAEA is supposed to be doing, besides getting kicked out of countries that don't want a bunch of bureaucrats poking around in their countries.

Here's what the IAEA director had to say about how he will handle things vis a vis countries like Iran and Syria. Seriously, this is what he said. If you are feeling devoid of confidence right now, just wait 'til you read this...

"I'm not going to be a 'soft' director general or a 'tough' director general."

Amanosayswhat?

"I'm not going to be a 'soft' director general or a 'tough' director general."

One more time?

"I'm not going to be a 'soft' director general or a 'tough' director general."

This is shaping up to be yet another international case of the Stupid leading the Brain Dead.

Great.

Thank you Israel for moving to protect us from the Iranian nuclear threat. Lord knows the White House is doing jack squat. And I guess I would be remiss if I didn't thank Egypt for letting Israel use their cool pool. Ironic that Egypt won't recognize Israel as a Jewish state, but does seem to recognize her ability to save their asses.
