Iran Test Fires Missle - Nukes in 1-3 Years

TEHRAN, Iran — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran test-fired a new advanced missile Wednesday with a range of about 1,200 miles, far enough to strike Israel and southeastern Europe.

The announcement will not reassure the U.S. government, coming just two days after President Barack Obama declared a readiness to seek deeper international sanctions against Iran if it shunned U.S. attempts to open negotiations on its nuclear program. Obama said he expected a positive response to his outreach for opening a dialogue with Iran by the end of the year.

"Defense Minister (Mostafa Mohammad Najjar) has informed me that the Sajjil-2 missile, which has very advanced technology, was launched from Semnan and it landed precisely on the target," state radio quoted Ahmadinejad as saying. He spoke during a visit to the city of Semnan, 125 miles east of the capital Tehran, where Iran's space program is centered. - FOX News Story

Obama's diplomacy is doing wonders with our enemies. His rhetoric about how wrong the Bush Administration was in the way it handled Iran, well I don't see the Obama Administration doing anything better.

Were is the great Leadership and the Diplomacy that Bush was so sorely missing? Obama had this all figured out.
