Q Thank you, Dana. Two questions. The Islamic Republic News Agency reported that Iran conducted its first successful space rocket launch with President Ahmadinejad on hand to order the takeoff and inaugurate the space center. And my question: Does the President believe that this has nothing to do with Ahmadinejad's repeated threats to destroy Israel?
MS. PERINO: Well, let's take that in pieces. What we commented on yesterday is that the actions that he took regarding the so-called space program is also the same type of technology you need to deliver a nuclear weapon on a ballistic missile. Now, we are concerned about that, and we think that those actions only further isolate Iran.
