    They have them. But just because they have them, that doesn't mean they have the ability to send a missle halfway around the world. Developing nuclear weapons is a process. 1st you need to know what you are doing then you need to have the supplies. Even then, just because you have both doesn't mean it's something that can necessarily be accomplished. They aren't using them because no one is stupid enough to believe that they would survive should they even try it.




    Nations that are known or believed to possess nuclear weapons are sometimes referred to as the nuclear club. There are currently nine states that have successfully detonated nuclear weapons. Five are considered to be "nuclear weapons states", an internationally recognized status conferred by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). In order of acquisition of nuclear weapons these are: the United States, Russia (successor state to the Soviet Union), the United Kingdom, France, and China.

    Since the NPT entered into force in 1970, three states that were not parties to the Treaty have conducted nuclear tests, namely India, Pakistan, and North Korea. North Korea had been a party to the NPT but withdrew in 2003.

    Pictures of the site from which North Korea plans to launch a suspected rocket have emerged as Japan ordered its military to prepare to intercept any dangerous debris should the launch go wrong.

    A November 2007 United States National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) judged that Iran halted an active nuclear weapons program in fall 2003 and that it remained halted as of mid-2007. The estimate further judged that US intelligence did not know whether Iran intended "to develop nuclear weapons," but that "Iran probably would be technically capable of producing enough HEU [highly enriched uranium] for a weapon sometime during the 2010-2015 time frame" if it chose to do so.[4]

    and i don't believe everything from A left wing blog either..
    i do my own research,And i did see the cnn clip and yes,u could tell she is one who is frustrated by the clueless ideas of those who were involved..

    most,if not all of the people who did participate in the tea party,are getting tax cuts..and they are singing that they don't want tax cuts,with the wrong choir..the choir of millionaires,sean hannity,rush,and others whom got tax cuts under gw bush..and now that their not getting one and they have to pay more taxes,they are brainwashing the dumb into going out into the streets,radioland,tvland,and just in general talking others and saying,they don't want a tax cut,while your fox friends got theirs and are upset that they won't be getting one under the new president..OH WELL...

    but this cnn reporter was biased,but,i see bias all the time on fox..
    ALL THE TIME...
    so,where is the outrage about fox doing it??
    People expect it,and its no secret they are a republican tool....

    as for the speeches..
    i go by the guy whom al sharpton had on his show in march who is a writer for president obama,and i forgot his name,and i will not quote Anyone anymore without a link,but,he is one of president obama speechwriters,and he said that all of the presidents major speeches are written by the president..

    And he along with another speechwriter, only write short speeches if president obama requested it on outlining,the ceremony of a bill being signed by the president, government summits,press conferences,or major meetings,which is usually 2-4 paragraphs,if its that long.. and,he repeated that twice during the interview that this president writes his own speeches..

    and,i would believe what he says more than anyone,for one fact is that this president was once the editor of the havard law review,and he knows his grammer,unlike me,and has an extensive vocabulary...
    Now I think I would believe Fox News before I would believe some guest on an Al Sharpton show. I wasn't even aware that Sharpton had a TV show.
    I think you should realize that Bill O'Reilly is very well educated and does present both sides of an issue. Sean Hannity is very good to and you can really trust him. I have been shocked by the way NBC and some of the other networks tell their side of the news. The media lied and journalism died.

    LOL Al Sharpton was the one who said the Somalia Pirates refer to themselves as the volunteer Coast Guard lol

    I think they do, but I found it so funny that anyone would give that statement the time of day.

    Bill O'Reilly does have a college degree; Hannity and Beck graduated high school. O'Reilly has a habit of presenting some of the facts, but, rarely tells the whole story. Hannity and Beck fabricate their stories.

    I don't get my news off television. It's useless. That became apparent in all that was left out in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq. Bush lied and the networks, including cable news, repeated those lies.

    I thought that Conservatives had great disdain for education.

    See...no one can answer my question.

    No one knows by what standard we measure the greatness of this country...nor what level of excellence we are trying to get back to.

    News organizatiosn are in th eye of the beholder.

    I watched FOX for a couple of months and it was like watching a George Bush orgy. (if you can envision that)

    Then CNN (who tries hard to be everything it was meant to be) gets caught up in the sensationalizm of the news.

    It's like each one holds a part of the truth and we have to figure out what it is.

    Of course I would have more respect for both if they didn't have people like Al Sharpton or Anne Coulter on. All that does is pander to the FAR left and FAR right. Both are obscene people who make a living at how horrible of a person they can be.

    They must have sold thier souls to the devil or something because no amount of money could make me want to be as egotistical as either one of them.

    And it's a shame that people listen to them...yet want to bridge a gap between the two sides. They feed into the hatred...and make hate mongers out of all of you.

    I have answered the question. Our greatness lies within our Constitution. The more we stray from what the founding fathers set forth, the faster this nation declines.

    I disagree. i think our greatness lies in our people. Unfortunately, we have become a nation of lemings. We just go along with the crowd. Those of us who are strong and independant minded will weather the storms ahead.

    I will agree with the part of us becoming a nation of lemmings, but how does that make the people the greatness of our nation? Really, if the people are going to do nothing but follow the lip service then that just proves how ignorant they are. This is what happens in underdeveloped countries and shouldn't be happening in this country. If all we do is listen to the lip service and not take the time to actually find out the truth, that does not make us great. It makes us stupid.

    Our Constitution is what makes this country great and without it we are nothing more than countries like Venezuela. The people of that country continued to elect greedy and power hungry individuals into their government and paved the path for a lunatic like Crazy Chavez to waltz in and take over. All because the people listened to the empty promises.

    Once our Rights are taken away, there will be nothing great about this country.

    We were the greatest nation at one time. We are becoming/have become lemmings, so to speak, and as such have lost our greatness as a whole. Though there are many of us who are not lemmings and it will be those of us who rise up and take our nation back. back to being great, doing what is right for rights sake, helping those less fortunate, working hard and being productive.We have become a nation of entitlements. Like the MP said, we cannot continue to squeeze the productive members of society to care for the unproductive members.

    This is exactly what I'm talking about. You said, and it's said many times. Okay...so when WERE we great? Cause (if I'm reading tngirl right) it hasn't been since 1776. At some point in time this country was great (one people want to get back too) when was that? That is my question. I know we're great over all because of the constitutin and it's people. But what is the greatness people pine for?
