Iran’s nuclear program has suffered a recent setback, with major technical problems forcing the temporary shutdown of thousands of centrifuges enriching uranium, diplomats told The Associated Press on Monday. The diplomats said they had no specifics on the nature of the problem that in recent months led Iranian experts to briefly power down the machines they use for enrichment — a nuclear technology that has both civilian and military uses. … There have been hints that the program is beset by technical problems. Even a brief shutdown of the... [This is no joke but it sounds like it is. And the writer doesn't even mention the peace process or the apology tour.] By Michael Filozof, AMERICAN THINKER American foreign policy is in a state of total disarray. I don’t think that our foreign policy has been in straits this dire since the early 1960s, when we rushed headlong from the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis straight into Vietnam. At least then our foreign policy was consistent in its anti-communism. Today’s is incoherent, counterproductive, and sometimes downright idiotic (e.g., when Hillary Clinton went to Russia to push the “reset button”). The Obama administration is either doing nothing to preempt the coming disasters or actually making them worse. It’s time for a full-blown, radical reevaluation of our foreign policy. Let’s look around the world at several case studies to see just how much trouble we could be in for: Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.” — Genesis 25:34 One can’t help but think of the Biblical story of Esau and the way he cavalierly dispensed with his birthright after the slew of reports regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent decision to support an extension of the settlement ‘freeze’ for another 90 days “in exchange for a package of incentives from Washington.” Instead of lentil soup, it’s a “honey trap”, to quote Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya’alon, one “that will plunge us into another crisis with the Americans in the future, in three months or maybe even before then.” The honey, in this case, consists of 20 U.S. stealth fighters, $3 billion in military hardware and a promise from the U.S. to veto anti-Israel resolutions brought to the UN Security Council. Laura: One TSA horror story after another piles up. Innocent Americans are being harrassed and humiliated because our insane government refuses to profile MUSLIMS in airports, the people who are actually a terrorist threat. It’s deemed wrong to humiliate muslims by pulling them aside, however humiliating cancer patients is ok. Enough of this crap already. There needs to be a massive revolt. This administration is a nightmare on every level. Man’s urostomy bag damaged during TSA pat-down; forced to fly with urine on him Marc Schenker, Examiner Man’s urostomy bag damaged during invasive TSA pat-down; forced to fly with urine all over him. A survivor of bladder cancer had his urostomy bag mishandled so badly during an inconsiderate TSA agent’s pat-down that it was unplugged, leaving him with urine trickling down his legs and his clothes soaked with urine. This incident of massive, government invasiveness occurred on November 7 as the man, retired teacher Thomas Sawyer,... By Ted Belman Except for the NYT and some other rags, who continue to support the “peace process” no matter what, many voices in the US are being raised which see through the spin and false hopes. Cal Thomas, TownHall, in Diminished Capacity, sees the situation clearly. “Any negotiation that does not lead to the weakening of Israel on the road to its eventual annihilation is of no interest to the Palestinian leadership”. “There can be no “peace negotiations” unless the Palestinian side is prepared to compromise on its demands. But since those demands include the acquisition of all the land — including those 1949 boundaries that in today’s world would be indefensible against Israel’s numerous enemies — the very word “negotiate” is meaningless. By Ted Belman This is great news. To be sure Livni is against it because it undermines the Knesset as the decider. Afterall, they know better. Erakat is against it as it “makes a mockery of international law”. What? The Bill provides that if any agreement reached by the government which gives away part of Jerusalem or the Golan, it must be approved by a super majority of 72 votes. If it is approved by a simple majority only, it must be put to a referendum. My only complaint is that the referendum should also require a super majority (60%) to approve it. When Quebec had a referendum on whether to secede, I argued that a super majority should be reuired. When the Knesset voted in favour of Oslo, I similarly argued that a super majority should be necessary for such dramatic change. So once again, I argue that the referendum should require a super majority. Laura: Barack Hussein Obama just snuck by the biggest arms deal ever to the hideous saudi regime which continues to fund mosques and madrassas that teach muslim children to hate and kill Christians and Jews. Pam Geller, Atlas Shrugs This best illustrates the danger inherent in madrassas. Here in America, the expansion of the Islamic Saudi Academy (whose valedictorian is serving a life sentence for a plot to assassinate the President) has met fierce opposition, and rightly so. Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved the hate academy’s plan to expand. The Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA), is founded, funded, and controlled by the Saudi Government.

Sweet: Stuxnet worm forces Iran to shut centrifuges
Although the Iranians are denying it, numerous reports indicate that hundreds of Iranian centrifuges have been shut down as a result of problems caused by the Stuxnet worm.
But suspicions focused on the Stuxnet worm, the computer virus thought to be aimed at Iran’s nuclear program, which experts last week identified as being calibrated to destroy centrifuges by sending them spinning out of control.Has U.S. Foreign Policy Ever Been This Screwed Up?
