All empirical data points to Iran not having nuclear weapons; but the US government treats them as if they are more than a moderate regional power...what is that!?!? So strange that 6 years ago they were willing to dump the entire nuclear program for a simple promise that we would not invade their country next, and yet now Rober Gates has to explain his statements that any retaliation will be within theaters that US troops are already committed. Anyways, that's how I see that shit!
