And just in case a brutal reminder that nothing is solved in Europe is not enough, here comes Iran: IRAN MP SAYS MILITARY TO PRACTISE CLOSING STRAIT OF HORMUZ TO SHIPPING; IRANIAN MILITARY DECLINES TO COMMENT - RTRS More as we see it.

Rjazz117 Posts: 17803 Incept: 2007-09-11	This'll get good now, with them practicing shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. I wonder what we'll be doing while this practice is occurring. ---------- “To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” Thomas Jefferson 2011-12-12 08:23:53 Permalink

Jhpigott Posts: 748 Incept: 2008-06-06	Another "mysterious" explosion hits an Iranian steel plant that may be connected to its missile/nuclear program - Did Iran blast target steel needed for nuke program? Iranians need maraging steel to produce new uranium enrichment centrifuges and exhaust systems for missile engines. Was explosion at steel factory connected to nuclear program? Ron Ben-Yishai Published: 12.12.11, 16:06 / Israel News Does the mysterious blast in Iran's steel factory have any connection to attempts to sabotage the Iranian nuclear program? Foreign reports suggesting Iran received North Korean steel used for uranium enrichment and the production of exhaust systems of missile engines may indicate that there is such a connection. Initially, the Iranians claimed that the cause for Sunday's blast was the penetration of water into the steel's melting pot but later said that ammunition brought to the factory had exploded. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...1.... 2011-12-12 10:39:09 Permalink

Landotfree Posts: 68 Incept: 2010-06-23 N.C. Banned	TK, Actually, I never even watched the video, I used the link for the article. To be honest, I am surprised we haven't started dropping nukes over the kite landing in someone else's backyard. Kidding or not, I think it shows incredible balls.
