Fox News 2006 Predictions Breaking News!

There’s pertinent information to report! Let’s quickly review Charles Krauthammer’s 2006 Prediction #2:

“2. Iran announces intention to acquire nukes. Security Council does nothing.”

While Iran insists it’s only interested in nuclear technology for non-military purposes, let’s be real - any theocracy whose president has publicly announced a desire to have Israel “wiped off the map” probably shouldn’t be taken at their word. Iran has now broken United Nations seals and forced negotiations with the EU to crumble. The EU leadership now seems willing to dump the problem in the Security Council’s lap.

For scoring purposes, Krauthammer can only score a point IF:

1. Iran specifically announces its intention to acquire nukes.

AND…

2. The Security Council does nothing.

Since this is my game, I will decide what exactly “nothing” entails. I have a sneaking suspicion that anything short of full-scale war would constitute “nothing” in Krauthammer’s eyes, so I’ll do what I can to make my own fair and balanced judgement.

Stay tuned, kids!
