Thank you for stopping by the show. There is so much going on in the World today that if you don't have Christ as your guide you will get lost in the shuffle and loose hope quickly because it 'looks' like evil is going to prevail. Evil has but a short time and that is why the volume and the occurrences have increased. But praise be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! Glory! Again thank you for stopping by and for the information you are providing, it allows whosoever reads it to draw their own conclusion!

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Top U.S. officials say the underground nuclear facility that Iran revealed last week is illegal and likely intended for military purposes.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrives home Saturday after attending the U.N. General Assembly.
"I think that certainly the intelligence people have no doubt that ... this is an illicit nuclear facility, if only ... because the Iranians kept it a secret," Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
"If they wanted it for peaceful nuclear purposes, there's no reason to put it so deep underground, no reason to be deceptive about it, keep it a ... secret for a protracted period of time," Gates said.
In an interview broadcast Sunday on the CBS program "Face the Nation," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for the strongest possible sanctions if Iran can't prove a peaceful intent for the newly disclosed facility and its entire nuclear program.
"It would have been disclosed if it were for peaceful purposes," Clinton said, adding: "The Iranians keep insisting no, no, that's for peaceful purposes. That's fine. Prove it. Don't assert it. Prove it."
After the interview with Clinton took place on Friday, Iran announced it would allow international inspection of the plant and said it met international guidelines for disclosing such a facility. Iran also repeated its insistence that its nuclear program is for peaceful energy production.
However, Gates and members of Congress from both parties said Iran's history of dishonesty over its nuclear program and the belligerent pronouncements of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad raised questions about such promises. Watch Gates talk about secret Iranian nuclear facility »
"I've got one rule of thumb: If the president of a country denies the Holocaust, you should believe the worst," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, on the CBS show.
Graham said a military strike by the United States and its allies on Iranian nuclear facilities should be a last resort, to be used only if sanctions by the international community fail.
Gates, who was defense secretary under President George W. Bush and stayed on when President Obama took office in January, agreed that sanctions could bring the needed change in behavior.
"The reality is, there is no military option that does anything more than buy time," Gates said in the interview, conducted Friday. "The estimates are one to three years or so. And the only way you end up not having a nuclear-capable Iran is for the Iranian government to decide that their security is diminished by having those weapons, as opposed to strengthened. And so I think, as I say, while you don't take options off the table, I think there's still room left for diplomacy."
Gates said "a variety of options" remained available, including sanctions on banking and equipment and technology for Iran's oil and gas industry.
The Pentagon chief acknowledged that "China's participation is clearly important" in an effort to impose economic sanctions on Iran for flouting international rules for the development of nuclear enrichment facilities.
Gates and Clinton both said that upcoming October 1 talks among Iran, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia and China offered the group of six world powers the opportunity for some potential "leverage" over the Iranians.
"I think we are all sensitive to the possibility of the Iranians trying to run the clock out on us. ... So nobody thinks of this as an open-ended process," Gates said.
In her interview, Clinton acknowledged that current sanctions against Iran's nuclear program were "leaky." She said the international coalition meeting with Iran on October 1 could strengthen the sanctions effort, similar to the international backing for recent new sanctions against North Korea.
Clinton acknowledged that the United States knew of the previously undisclosed Iranian enrichment plant before Iran disclosed its existence to the International Atomic Energy Agency last week.
Senators on both sides of the aisle also expressed support for tough sanctions against Iran on Sunday.

Iran today claimed to have successfully tested short-range missiles and said it would repeat the process with longer range weapons tomorrow.
The English-language Press TV channel reported that solid-fuel Fateh-110, Tondar-69 and Zelzal missiles had been tested during drills by the country's elite Revolutionary Guard, but did not specify further details.
The weapons are short-range surface-to-surface missiles.
General Hossein Salami, the head of the Revolutionary Guard air force, said Iran had also tested a multiple missile launcher for the first time. Press TV showed pictures of at least two missiles being fired simultaneously.
Salami said the missile tests and military drills were intended to demonstrate Tehran's resolve to defend its national values.
A long-range missile, the surface to surface Shahab-3 – believed to be capable of hitting Israel and US bases in the Gulf – will be tested tomorrow, state radio said.
Last week, Iran said it was building a second uranium enrichment plant despite UN demands that it stops its development plans.
Tensions will increase this week when Iran's chief negotiator, Saeed Jalili, flies to Geneva for meetings with diplomats from the six countries that handle talks on the Iranian nuclear programme – the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany.
At the meeting, being held on Thursday, the US will demand access to the enrichment plant, near the holy city of Qom, within the next few days and to all other sites within three months, the New York Times reported.
The US president, Barack Obama, speaking at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh, warned that Iran would be on "a path that is going to lead to confrontation" if it did not stick to international rules.
Iran rejected western criticism over the construction of the plant, saying it was legal and open to inspections from the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Iranian state radio said the country's ambassador to the UN's nuclear agency watchdog, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, had criticised "fabricated western clamour" about the facility and warned it would have a negative impact on the talks.
Although western defence experts believe the Shabab-3 missile, first tested in July 2008, can only strike targets up to 1,300km away, Iran's claim that it can reach up to 2,000km may mean it has developed a newer model with a range of up to 2,500km.
Iran has had the solid-fuel Fateh missile, with a range of 170km, for several years. It also has the solid-fuel, Chinese-made CSS-8, also called the Tondar-69, which has a range of about 150km.

American and Israeli military planners have been examining options for an attack on Iran for almost three decades. There is no shortage of possible targets: Iran has dozens of nuclear-related sites that are known to western officials.
Yet military experts in Washington and Tel Aviv acknowledge that a surprise airstrike would be likely to succeed only in delaying Iran’s development of nuclear weapons. It would also present daunting logistical and political challenges with no guarantee that even a sustained assault on known facilities would eradicate Tehran’s nuclear threat.
With President Barack Obama committed to diplomatic pressure, the most likely military scenarios involve Israeli airstrikes that would require mid-air refuelling and long flights through potentially hostile Arab air space. “Anyone who meets regularly with senior Israeli officials knows that Israel is considering military options ... with an understanding that they pose serious problems and risks,” said Anthony Cordesman, a former Pentagon planner.
The three likeliest targets for an Israeli attack are reactors at Bushehr and Arak and a centrifuge production facility at Natanz. All are 1,000 miles or more from Israel, at the outer operating margins of Israeli air force bombers.
The Bushehr light water reactor is being built and fuelled by Russia and is not yet operational. Any attack on it would be certain to infuriate Moscow and might provoke the Russians into supplying Iran with more advanced anti-aircraft defences.
The heavy water reactor at Arak has been at least partially sheltered from air attack and is not expected to be completed for several years.
The Natanz facilities have also been sheltered underground and are defended by short-range Russian TOR-M surfaceto-air missiles.
The Israeli air force is equipped with US-supplied GBU-28 earth-penetrating bombs designed to destroy underground targets. Israel may also have developed its own variant of a nuclear-tipped bunker-busting bomb.
Yet the real problem for military planners is that no outside agency has a clear idea of where else Iran may have hidden its weapons-related technologies, notably the long-range missiles that might one day deliver nuclear warheads.
“It is doubtful that even the US knows all the potential targets,” said Cordesman. “They may now be in too many places for an Israeli strike to destroy Iran’s capabilities.”
US experts believe that while Israel unquestionably has the military capability — and may have the political will — to mount a long-range attack, it could not sustain the kind of long-term barrage that Washington launched against Baghdad in the early phases of two Gulf wars.
The diplomatic uproar that would be certain to follow any Israeli attack might limit Tel Aviv to a one-off operation that it could never hope to repeat. “That would not be on the scale required to do more than delay parts of the Iranian programme,” said Cordesman.
Only if America joined in would Iran have reason to worry. There is no immediate likelihood of a US military strike; but there are still some in Tel Aviv who believe that an Israeli raid might force Obama’s hand and persuade the Pentagon to join the attack.

It’s a shocking scene that wouldn’t have looked out of place on the streets of Nazi Germany or Maoist China in humanity’s darkest historical period – a protester is shoved into an unmarked car by military thugs and driven away to whatever Godforsaken fate awaits him. And yet this is America in 2009, where the First Amendment is now officially a criminal offense and people who dare exercise it are attacked and abducted by military police in broad daylight.

PITTSBURGH – Backed by other world powers, President Barack Obama declared Friday that Iran is speeding down a path to confrontation and demanded that Tehran quickly "come clean" on all nuclear efforts and open a newly revealed secret site for close international inspection. He said he would not rule out military action if the Iranians refuse.
Obama joined the leaders of Britain and France in accusing the Islamic republic of clandestinely building an underground plant to make nuclear fuel that could be used to build an atomic bomb. Iranian officials acknowledged the facility but insisted it had been reported to nuclear authorities as required.
"Iran's action raised grave doubts" about its promise to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes only, Obama told a news conference at the conclusion of a G-20 summit whose focus on world economic recovery was overshadowed by disclosure of the Iranian plant.
Obama said a telling moment could come next week when Iran meets with U.S. and other major nations to discuss the nuclear issue.
"Iran is on notice that when we meet with them on Oct. 1 they are going to have to come clean and they are going to have to make a choice" between international isolation and giving up any aspirations to becoming a nuclear power, he said. If they refuse to give ground, they will stay on "a path that is going to lead to confrontation."
In a dramatic, early morning announcement about the secret Iranian facility, Obama said, "Iran is breaking rules that all nations must follow. The size and configuration of this facility is inconsistent with a peaceful program."
Unbowed, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said his country had done nothing wrong and Obama would regret his accusations.
At a news conference in New York, Ahmadinejad said the plant wouldn't be operational for 18 months but sidestepped a question about whether Iran had sufficient enriched uranium to manufacture a nuclear weapon. Still, he said such armaments "are against humanity, they are inhumane," and he said anyone who pursues them "is retarded politically."
The head of Iran's nuclear program suggested U.N. inspectors would be allowed to visit the site. Ali Akbar Salehi called the facility "a semi-industrial plant for enriching nuclear fuel" that is not yet complete, but he gave no other details, according to the state news agency IRNA.
The plant, near the holy city of Qom southwest of Tehran, would be about the right size to enrich enough uranium to produce one or two bombs a year, but inspectors must get inside to know what is actually going on, one U.S. official said.
At his Pittsburgh news conference, Obama appeared to hold out limited hope for the Oct. 1 meeting, which will be the first of its kind in more than a year. Iran has said its nuclear program should not be on the agenda.
"When we find that diplomacy does not work, we will be in a much stronger position to, for example, apply sanctions that have bite," Obama said. "That's not the preferred course of action. I would love nothing more than to see Iran choose the responsible path."
He said he was confident in the reliability of the intelligence information about Iran's secret nuclear facilities.
"This was the work product of three intelligence agencies, not just one," Obama said. "They checked over this work in a painstaking fashion."
Obama said he was especially pleased that Russia and China agreed with him that Iran must live up to its obligations under international rules on nuclear activities. The leaders of Britain and France joined Obama at his morning announcement.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, at his own news conference in Pittsburgh, urged Iran to cooperate and "demonstrate its good intentions" at the Oct. 1 meeting and in allowing inspections. "We call on Iran to show maximum cooperation with the IAEA on this issue," he said, a reference to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Beyond tougher economic sanctions, options for acting against Iran are limited and perilous.
Military action by the United States or an ally such as Israel could set off a dangerous chain of events in the Islamic world. In addition, Iran's facilities are spread around the country and well hidden, making an effective military response difficult.
Asked about the prospect of using military force to stop Iran from getting the bomb, Obama said, "With respect to the military, I've always said that we do not rule out any options when it comes to U.S. security interests, but I will also re-emphasize that my preferred course of action is to resolve this in a diplomatic fashion. It's up to the Iranians to respond."
Defense Secretary Robert Gates, speaking Friday on CNN's "State of the Union," said it would be a mistake to rule out military action, but he also said there was still room to pursue diplomacy.
"The reality is, there is no military option that does anything more than buy time," Gates said, adding that the U.S. believes Iran could have a nuclear weapons within one to three years. "And the only way you end up not having a nuclear-capable Iran is for the Iranian government to decide that their security is diminished by having those weapons, as opposed to strengthened."
Obama's European partners talked tough, too.
"We will not let this matter rest," said British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who accused Iran of "serial deception."
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Iran has until December to comply with demands for a fuller accounting of its program or face tough new sanctions.
On Capitol Hill, three senators — Democrat Evan Bayh of Indiana, Republican Jon Kyl of Arizona and Independent Joe Lieberman of Connecticut — issued a joint statement condemning Iran.
"Given Iran's consistent pattern of deceit, concealment and bad faith, the only way to force Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions is to make absolutely clear to the regime in Tehran that its current course will carry catastrophic consequences," the senators said. "We must leave no doubt that we are prepared to do whatever it takes to stop Iran's nuclear breakout."
Iran had previously acknowledged having only the one uranium enrichment plant, under international monitoring, and had denied allegations of undeclared nuclear activities.
James Acton, a nuclear expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said a consensus has developed that if Iran were to decide to manufacture nuclear weapons the key material probably would be produced in a clandestine facility.
"This should persuade any doubters that Iran's program is not for peaceful purposes," Acton said.
