Oil prices shot up to over $70 a barrel today as traders continued to weigh the implications of statements made by Iranian President Ahmadinejad. As Iran races toward producing nuclear weapons, Ahmadinejad warns that the West better not do anything to try to stop him, because Iran now claims to have 40,000 suicide bombers ready to strike the U.S., Israel and England. Meanwhile, new U.S. satellite imagery indicates Iran is reinforcing its nuclear facilities and burying them deeper underground to try to withstand any military attack. Over the weekend, the Iranian government announced it will also give the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority $50 million, and it continues to pour money into Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.

And that’s just the military front. On the spiritual front the evidence is quite clear that Ahmadinejad believes that he has been chosen by Allah to pave the way for the return of the so-called “12th Imam”� in the next 2 years, a “Messiah”� type figure who will destroy all the Christians and Jews.

The Bush White House is working diligently to come up with an answer to the Iranian threat. Meanwhile, liberal senators have no answers except to demand that Bush work harder on a diplomatic solution. How is one supposed to do that given that we are dealing with a delusional enemy? Most U.S. media remain obsessed over the concern about the growing power of America’s “Christian-right,”� while an Islamic fascist dreams of nuking Israel and watching America burn.
