On the recordApril 21, 2010
Yesterday the Department of Defense released the Military Power Report on Iran. The report is designed to provide Congress and the White House with an assessment of Iran's current military capabilities and the regime's future military strategy. The report served as a stark reminder of the military and nuclear realities in the region. Sadly, it is incomplete because it lacked information about funding provided by Iran's military branches and also information about military doctrine. The information that the report does include confirms Iran's efforts to hide its nuclear infrastructure, their support of nuclear terrorist surrogates, and the terrifying investment in a missile that could hit America in less than 5 years. Now is the time for the administration and Congress to put forward an effective strategy to deal with Iran. It is imperative that both parties work vigilantly with our allies around the world to ensure Iran does not continue down this dangerous road. In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
