Grim News For Those Paying Attention

Disturbing news all around where Iran is concerned. Although many people would prefer not to hear these things, the enemies we face didn't just go away now that Democrats have assumed some power.

In fact, they're getting a whole lot worse. But try and get through to the average Joe, and consider what we're facing.

Netanyahu: Ahmadinejad is preparing another Holocaust

LOS ANGELES - Drawing a direct analogy between Iran and Nazi Germany, Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu asserted Monday that the Iranian nuclear program posed a threat not only to Israel, but to the entire western world. There was "still time," however, to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons, he said.

"It's 1938 and Iran is Germany. And Iran is racing to arm itself with atomic bombs," Netanyahu told delegates to the annual United Jewish Communities General Assembly, repeating the line several times, like a chorus, during his address. "Believe him and stop him," the opposition leader said of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. "This is what we must do. Everything else pales before this."

While the Iranian president "denies the Holocaust," Netanyahu said, "he is preparing another Holocaust for the Jewish state"

"Ah, just some extremist rhetoric. C'mon, Dancing With the Stars is coming on. I have important things to worry about."

But what about the Plutonium Found in Iran Waste Facility?

VIENNA, Austria -- International Atomic Energy experts have found unexplained plutonium and highly enriched uranium traces in a nuclear waste facility in Iran and have asked Tehran for an explanation, an IAEA report said Tuesday.

"Please. Everyone likes us now, the Democrats are back. What do I have to worry about? Hold on, that's my cellhpone."

Still, doesn't news about Iran plotting to groom bin Laden's successor cause any concern?

Iran is trying to form an unholy alliance with al-Qa'eda by grooming a new generation of leaders to take over from Osama bin Laden, The Daily Telegraph can reveal.

Western intelligence officials say the Iranians are determined to take advantage of bin Laden's declining health to promote senior officials who are known to be friendly to Teheran.

"Hey, what time is Lost on?"

Oh, I think I'm feeling sick. Finally, they snap to it.

"Hey, great news. We're all going to get free healthcare!"

Clinton Outlines Legislative Priorities

In her remarks, Clinton outlined a range of challenges she said Democrats would tackle in the coming months, such as trimming the federal deficit, reducing dependence on foreign oil, and improving the image of the United States abroad.

She also said Democrats would focus on improving the quality and affordability of health care _ a touchy matter for the former first lady, who in 1993 led her husband's calamitous attempt to overhaul the nation's health care system. The failure of that effort helped Republicans win control of both the Senate and House the following year.

"Health care is coming back," Clinton warned, adding, "It may be a bad dream for some."

Nightmares all around.
