Countdown To Midnight


Atlas is giving us the perspective from above on Iran this morning:


Ahmadinejad Prepares Country for a Rough Ride.

The New York Times reported that Ahmadinejad in a speech to tens of thousands of demonstrators he said: "I ask our dear people to prepare themselves for a great struggle." "Fasten your seat belts and pull up your sleeves."

Then he Ramps Up the War of Words on Israel.

Khaleej Times reported that the European Union condemned the latest remarks by Ahmadinejad about Israel, in which he said that the Palestinians and “other nations” would eventually remove the Jewish state.

Yahoo News reported that Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi, said: "The repressive actions of the Zionist regime against the Palestinians are worse than the Holocaust." Hat tip:Regime Change Iran

The puzzle. Look at the puzzle from a perch, not the ground.Why would Iran delay planned nuclear talks with Russia?

As if Ahmadinejad gives a damn about the West's condemnation.

Now, is he bluffing? Or does he already have the weaponry?

I have to wonder if he already has weapons he bought. But, at the same time, his delaying the Russian talks indicates he is close to finishing.

What do you think?

It could be both.
