AND NOW BACK TO THE ADULT WORLD - AT 8:53 A.M. ET: Among the issues that Nobel peace laureate Barack Hussein Obama Jr. will have to deal with on his way to Oslo to pick up the award:
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - A top official with Iran's most powerful military force—the Revolutionary Guard—says Tehran will "blow up the heart of Israel" if the Jewish state or the United States attacked Iran.
Cleric Mojtaba Zolnour, the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's representative in the Guard, says that if a single U.S. or Israeli missile lands in Iran, Iranian missiles will hit Israel before the dust settles.
Zolnour's remarks were carried Friday by the state IRNA news agency.
Anti-Israeli stance is common for the hardline Guard, and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has often called for Israel's destruction.
But Zolnour appears to be ratcheting up the rhetoric ahead of the next round of talks with the West this month over Iran's controversial uranium enrichment.
COMMENT: But wait. All Obama will have to do is wave that Nobel Peace Prize certificate in front of this guy, and peace will come to the region.
I can't wait to hear what songs are shoved down the throats of some American school children, now that The One has been made king of the world.
