Iran tested 2nd nucleur bomb (Marshall law ?)
Iran is said to have two nucleur tipped ballistic missles ready to use against Israel in the coming months. Since America controls Iraq airspace Israel needs to cross to take Irans sites down so they can not build more nucleur tipped missles. However given Iran was fully willing to blow up that tanker with radioactive sand a massive dirty bomb that would of killed massive Israelie including palestinians civilians how can Israel and the civilized world not see this as an declaration of war against Israel by Iran.
Shirat Devorah
Now with atomic weapons missles capable of reaching Israel and america. Will America be taken out before the elections are ratified? China and North Korea are being given credit for accelerating the building of those warheads seems like its all about Israel and prophecy. Not sure about America but Israel has divine protection yet 2/3rds of Israelie citizens are said will be killed before the coming apocolypse is completed.
P.S. It took the supreme court to get George into the highest office of the land will it take one to allow George to leave the highest office of the land if George has to declare marshall law like if the elections are contested and Iran starts launching those missles tipped nukes and one explodes over america.
It would only take one nuke according to congressional fears to take out all communications over america and its all heating up at this very moment. Marshall law delaying the changing of the guard?
People Power Granny: Will Martial Law delay US elections in November?
P.S. Its like America controls the Iraq airspace at the moment so any attack on Iran would be considered sanctioned by America. Yet George only has control of the reigns for 2 more months will Russia get involved. If George allows it to happen (Iran is one of the axis of evil) life soon could be like it was back in the 18th century, etc...That is for those that don't freeze to death cause your furnaces don't work, starve to death because your gas stoves need electricity, no communications to call police, guess it could be like the looting after Katrina, no drinkable water, etc....
If the police would have no cars no communication it sure sounds like Marshall law would have to be declared in a situation where nucleur missles were launched and the only ones able to communicate are the military, etc... And to think it was Bill Clinton that gave China hardened chip technology yet all of americans are threatened by just one nucleur bomb the Iran credits North Korea and China in building an advance bomb by their own words. This means likely Irans bomb has hardened chip technology to prevent being taken out by a electro magnetic nucleur pulse. If so it would take a direct hit to take out just one Iranian missle launched from who knows where because Iran has submarines, ships, etc... I mean they could build it in america and launch it right from american soil given how easy it is to smuggle drug, etc into our country.
==================================================================
Iran says it tested nuclear bomb
An senior Iranian source has told Israel Insider that a weekend earthquake in Iran measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale was actually an underground nuclear bomb test
He said that China and North Korea have helped Iran accelerate its nuclear program far beyond where Western powers believe it stands.
The source went on to reveal that Iran now has two nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles ready for use against Israel, possibly in the coming months.

No doubt. But lets not cherry pick. There are also media venues that are biased towards the right wing of the political spectrum (FOX comes to mind). The overall media though seems prety even handed to me.

Anyway, speaking as a disgruntled Clinton supporter, I'm sitting out of this election.
Will you also be taking your ball and going home?

The republican 'king makers' don't want a maverick.
McCain is not a maverick. He is a dyed-in-the-wool conservative. The idea that he is somehow willing to take on his own party is nothing more than a story told by the media due to the fact that they like him. If you look at his voting record, it is clear that he is more conservative than the average Republican officeholder.
He talks a good game to the press, but speeches aren't votes. He can talk about being moderate when it comes to question of abortion, for example, but his voting record shows that he has never voted for anything except to outlaw it.
quote:
And they particularly don't want a president who isn't a dogmatic Reaganite. So McCain was pretty much left to twist in the wind.
Except that McCain is precisely that: A dogmatic Reaganite.

Yeah...MSNBC has a liberal bias. There are two (count 'em!) liberal voices on the network with a combined total of two hours of programming. Therefore, it's a "liberal" network. Nevermind that Scarborough has three hours...the fact that there are two hours of "liberal" programming in a day means it's a "liberal" network.
What liberal media? If the media were truly liberal across so much of the spectrum, how on earth does a conservative ever get elected?

It's nearly midnight in California and it looks like Modulous is the closest one. Currently, Obama has over 340 (much more than most predicted) and McCain won't break 200.
Will those who predicted McCain or even had it close consider this to be a sign that their ability to analyze the pulse of the nation is not quite up to par?
