Confidential intelligence documents obtained by The Times show that Iran is working on testing a key final component of a nuclear bomb.

So much for that Nov 2007 NIE that mislead the country with claims that Iran had given up their nuclear program. The Iranians must have been laughing their asses off.

If we went into A-Stan with Saddam left to his own devices Iraq would have most definitely provided monetary and materiel support to the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Much like he provided support to suicide bombers in Israel. If we tried to take on non-state actors like the Taliban and Al Qaeda with Saddam still in power we'd have a very different situation to deal with. Revisionists don't ever address that since it's in their interest to ignore history.

Israel is on the record as being very concerned about this, for obvious reasons.
