Iran Willing to Attack on U.S. Soil

BREAKING NEWS:  Clapper recently said in testimony that IRAN has capacity today to build nuclear bomb if they decide to.  So decision is in their hands.

U.S. intelligence agencies believe that Iran is prepared to launch terrorist attacks inside the United States in response to perceived threats from America and its allies, the U.S. spy chief said Tuesday.

Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. said in prepared testimony that an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington that was uncovered last year reflects an aggressive new willingness within the upper ranks of the Islamist republic to authorize attacks against the United States.

That plot “shows that some Iranian officials — probably including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — have changed their calculus and are now more willing to conduct an attack in the United States in response to real or perceived U.S. actions that threaten the regime,” Clapper said in the testimony, which was submitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee in advance of a threat assessment hearing Tuesday. “We are also concerned about Iranian plotting against U.S. or allied interests overseas.”

The assessment signals a potentially dire new direction in the adversarial relationship between the United States and Iran, at a time when there are indications that a covert campaign is already underway to thwart Iran’s alleged ambition to develop a nuclear weapon.

Yes...this assessment DOES signal a dire new direction in the USA's adversarial relationship with Persia...now known as Iran.

Isn't it funny/interesting how 8-10 years ago, President Bush dared to stand behind the bully pulpit and proclaim that Iran, Iraq and North Korea were all evil empires?  Remember the trouble that got him in for using the word "evil"?  The liberals went insane with rage!! 

And now here we are.
