News-worthy?

So Drudge posted a story this morning that Iran is now a nuclear power. Oh, and that "the US, Britain, and the Zionist regime will vanish" (just another rambling by Ahmadinejad). Why isn't this news? It's not on any big news websites: CNN, ABC, Fox News, etc., nor on the top-of-the-hour news updates on talk radio. Nor did the press ask President Bush about it this morning during his news conference (but Scooter Libby's trial is still a big deal).

My whacko theory (more like hope and prayer): the media is actually cooperating with the government keeping the country preoccupied with news about troop numbers in Iraq, the economy, etc., so we can have an edge, giving the Islamofascists the impression that we're unprepared and apathetic to the danger we're really in, and, of course, keep spending all our money on useless Christmas presents and other creature comforts to keep the economy rolling; also, avoid mass chaos as everyone flocks to Aldi's and Super Walmarts for canned goods and bottled water. Meanwhile, somewhere, somehow, there is a plan to defeat this threat and keep America safe. Plausible theory? Or should I return the Superman toothbushes, pencils, and coloring book stocking-stuffers for Del Monte and Dinty Moore?
