Iran Could Test A-Bomb in Six Months

Countdown to Conflict....

Diplomats say Iran will be capable of testing a nuclear device in six months. But the Islamist nation is not likely to cross that threshold, they add. Click here for the story.

China Confidential analysts agree--and disagree. 

Iran is within a half-year from being able to produce atomic arms, they say. But the analysts assert that the turbaned tyranny will test a weapon as soon as possible in order to deter the United States from attacking it or cooperating in any way with an Israeli attack.

Indonesian Terror Seen as Test for Obama

IBD comments on the Islamist terror bombings in President Obama's "hometown." 

Indonesians were shocked and angry to wake to a terror attack on the J.W. Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton Friday morning, two fancy hotels at the glamorous center of the sprawling capital.

It wasn't the first time the Marriott had been struck. Radical Islamists linked to al-Qaida, known as Jemaah Islamiah, had hit the hotel before, in 2003, leaving 12 dead. But Indonesians had hoped that, after a three-year lull, the war on terror was over.

But the war on terror is not won, the terrorists are still plotting, and there are strong signs the latest attack may be a test for the new U.S. president, who's shown signs of wavering.

Some Indonesians, such as President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, suggest the attack may have been related to the July 8 presidential election, which is still being tallied, but he is believed to have won. After all, Bambang's campaign ran on an anti-terror theme.

That said, the bulk of evidence still points to a test for the U.S., and it should be taken as just that.
