Report: Iran Less Than 10 Years Away From 2016

According to an alarming new Department of Defense report combining civilian, military, and calendric evidence, Iran may be as few as nine years away from the year 2016.

"Every day they get one day closer," Defense Secretary Robert Gates said during a White House press conference Tuesday. "At the rate they're going, they will reach 2016 at the same time as the United States—and given their geographic position relative to the international date line, possibly even sooner."

The report recommended that the U.S. engage in bellicose international posturing, careless brinksmanship, and an eventual overwhelming series of nuclear strikes in order to prevent Iran from reaching this milestone.

They will get to 2016 before the Iranians. This is foreboding. What sort of futuristic weapons will North Korea be able to offer Iran at that time?

This scares hell out of me. I'll have to get a more secure DayTimer.

even if Iran does acquire nuclear capability. What countries is the debris likely to land upon ?

That's one of the better Onion articles I've seen in awhile!
Maybe I should start reading it regularly again.

as it relates to Iran and nukes, if Iran actually FIRED a missile, just think of the ramifications should the missile's trajectory take it past the country's boundaries.
