London, Mar. 17 - Not since the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has the United States national security strategy focused on a country more than it is now doing on Iran. The proof comes in a 49-page report just released by the White House.
"The National Security Strategy of the United States of America" describes Iran as the greatest challenge to the U.S. national security, and makes it clear that the Bush administration is prepared to resort to military action, if that's what it takes to stop Iran's theocracy from arming itself with nuclear weapons.
"We may face no greater challenge from a single country than from Iran", the report, which carried the seal of U.S. President George W. Bush, said.
The document, which maps out the threats to the United States and the way President Bush intends to tackle them, said that the international standoff over Tehran's suspected nuclear weapons program and its support for terrorism in the Middle East could ultimately be resolved "only if the Iranian regime makes the strategic decision to change these policies, open up its political system, and afford freedom to its people. This is the ultimate goal of U.S. policy".
"Our strategy is to block the threats posed by the regime while expanding our engagement and outreach to the people the regime is oppressing", Bush said.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
