According to CNN, uranium was seized in Turkey, just 155 miles from the Iraqi border. While it remains to be seen if this is weapons grade enriched uranium, it should send a clear message to the Democratic party and other peaceniks, that waiting around to deal with Iraq is not a good idea. Some experts estimate that once Iraq obtains weapons grade fissionable material, it will only take them 45 minutes to have nucular capability.

While they probably won't have an intercontinental delivery vehicle for quite some time, those SCUD missiles they have can reach into Israel and parts of Europe. Either way, waiting until after they have nucular power to do something just seems stupid. Hopefully this will send a message to the Democrats that their obstructionist and lolly-gagging behavior is not the right way to do business. The fact is that the threat is very real, and their inaction puts us all at risk.
