 IDF's Gen. Kaplinsky says Iran training Hamas fighters

NEW YORK (Press Release)—
The Israeli army’s deputy chief of staff said that the terrorist group Hamas has sent hundreds of its fighters abroad for military training, most of them to Iran, The New York Times reported.

Maj. Gen. Moshe Kaplinsky also said Hamas was constructing fortifications in Gaza and smuggling advanced weaponry via tunnels under the Egyptian border.

Kaplinsky added that the longer Hamas continues its military buildup, the greater the challenge of confronting them will be.

Discussing the possibility of a major IDF incursion into Gaza, he warned that “given the way Hamas fights, we’ll hurt a lot of civilians, and we don’t want to do it.”

 IAEA says Iran expanding its efforts
 to enrich uranium to weapons grade

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Press Release)—The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Thursday said that Iran is expanding its efforts to enrich uranium - a key step toward producing nuclear weapons, The New York Times reported. The IAEA report comes as Tehran has promised to answer questions about an array of suspicious nuclear activities in the past.

“There is no partial credit here,” said State Department spokesman Tom Casey. “Iran has refused to comply with its international obligations, and as a result of that the international community is going to continue to ratchet up the pressure.” Gregory Schulte, U.S. Ambassador to the IAEA, added: “For the most part, Iran has only made promises.” Tehran has rebuffed multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions demanding that it end its illicit nuclear program and faces more stringent sanctions as a result of its non-compliance.

Congresswoman Susan Davis runs
Iraq survey on her House website

WASHINGTON (Press Release)—U.S. Rep. Susan Davis (Democrat, California) has a four-question survey on her website concerning continued U.S. participation in the Iraq War.

Here are the questions:
 

1. Should the United States set a specific timeline to bring our troops home?

2. Should the United States keep its military forces in Iraq until civil order is restored there, even if that means continued U.S. military casualties and billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars per month?

3. Should the United States withdraw its military forces from Iraq, even if that means civil order is not restored and continuing instability in the region might increase?

4. Do you believe that Congress should vote to deauthorize the Iraq war?

Underscored is the link to the website page bearing the automated survey by the congresswoman who chairs the House Armed Services Personnel subcommittee and represents a San Diego district:
