If anything, Iran will be the piece de resistance for the US President in late 2004-early 2005 --be it Bush or Kerry:

Iran 'bought foreign nuke parts'

Monday, February 23, 2004 Posted: 12:11 PM EST

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- As part of its nuclear program, Iran received parts from other countries, according to a spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry.

The official made the comment amid increasing scrutiny on Tehran's secret nuclear program.

Hamid Reza Assefi would not say from what country the parts came, nor would he disclose what type of parts were brought in.

"We purchased some parts from some dealers, but we don't know what was the source or which country they came from," he said Sunday. "It happened that some of the dealers were from some subcontinent countries."

That comment matched those of his boss, Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazzi, who told CNN last month that Tehran dealt with the black market for its nuclear equipment.

"We don't know where they (parts) come from. That is the nature of black market," he told CNN Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour. "Those middlemen when they furnish with some spare parts, they don't know, they don't declare where those spare parts have come from."

Now, the way I see it is that the reelection of Bush would give a much-needed boost to the Judeofascists' agenda since US policymakers and the Judeocons will obviously hail the reelection as the endorsement by the American people to proceed with the war on terror --and extend it to Iran....

On the other hand, if Kerry beats Bush then the whole war on terror risks an anticlimax of sorts, and the momentum to take on Iran as the next target will be broken... Hence a Democratic victory in November 2004 will likely spur the Judeofascists into scheming a SECOND 911 as devastating as the first one --just to keep the war on terror rolling....

As I said, it's gonna be a Pyrrhic victory for the Dems if Kerry cracks the jackpot in November.... His Pentagon appropriations voting record is too soft --it won't be long before the Zionist/Judeofascist lobby put him "back on track."

Kerry opposed key weapons

By Charles Hurt
THE WASHINGTON TIMES


Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry has opposed some of the most effective - and publicly popular - military weapons in the U.S. arsenal during the past 15 years.

The Massachusetts senator voted against defense appropriations bills that included money for weapons such as the Patriot missile, the Tomahawk cruise missile and the B-2 stealth bomber - all of which military leaders say have become integral to the U.S. force and were crucial to winning the 1991 Gulf war and last year's war in Iraq.

According to voting records, Mr. Kerry also favored cutting or canceling spending on the Apache helicopter, the M-1 Abrams tank and a wide range of fighter jets.

A skirmish over the issue broke out this weekend between Mr. Kerry and President Bush, with supporters of Mr. Bush accusing Mr. Kerry of being "weak on defense." In a letter to Mr. Bush, Mr. Kerry wrote that he didn't want the "debate to be distorted through your $100 million campaign fund" and challenged the president to a face-to-face debate.

"That's the game they play," Mr. Kerry told reporters yesterday while campaigning in New York. "They haven't come to you and said we need this [weapons] system and John Kerry voted against the system. They're saying he voted against defense ... and I'm not going to let them nickel-and-dime us on one system or another that was an individual vote."

But for the most part, Mr. Kerry has failed to address many of his Senate votes on defense and intelligence matters.
