The risk of Iranian non-conventional weapons being transferred to the Hizbullah [Hezbollah] "exists," in the same way the group was supplied with long-range rockets, a senior IDF intelligence official said in the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday.
The official, Brig.-Gen. Yossi Kupperwasser, said that Iran has resumed its work on nuclear centrifuges needed to make nuclear materials after releasing themselves from a commitment to Europe to halt efforts. He said the development is "worrisome."

The commission investigating the attacks will detail links between al-Qaida and Iran in its final report this week, raising new questions about why Bush turned his focus to Iraq after Sept. 11, 2001.

So why are we in Iraq? Because President Mission Accomplished is a bully and a coward. If he went into Iran or North Korea, we'd lose ten thousand troops, maybe more. Iraq was easy and Bush knew it. Or rather Cheney knew it and he told President C-student to do it.
