#1 It looks like Iran is the next target on the WOT, or chess move if you like. If weapons are being smuggled into Gaza through Egypt, then Egypt has some 'splaining to do, too. For terrorist money, we have Iran and we have Saudi. Pakistan is getting some $$ from the US, but military aid, etc. is coming from the Saudi Bankroll. After the fall of Iraq, that source dried up. Saudi is on the defensive, but Iran is feeling frisky, especially with construction of Nukes well under way, with both options: U235 and Pu239 options.

#2 Hamas and Islamic Jihad are also expecting large-scale deliveries of weapons smuggled through tunnels across the border with Egypt, the sources said.

Didn't our girl, Saint Flatbabe, die to protect some of these tunnels?
Bitch looks stupider every day.

#3 Yeah, isn't it sweet? Now we're down to 2 Rich Uncles left in Arabia. And the Black Hats certainly lack the Saudis' understanding of America and are, consequently, fucking up big-time. And soon there will be only one...

Where the Saudis have been playing us like a violin for 50+ years, the Iranian Mullahs have been ham-handed and dumb as bricks. Hard to imagine that they could be less adroit than demonstrated thus far. They really do need to invest in some Madison Ave assistance. Phools.

So I guess, with the El Lay Times spilling the beans publicly about the advanced state of Iran's Nuke Pgm, the Shihab-3 (?) missile that can reach Israel being distributed to "front-line" units, funding the shitheads this openly, and their general ranting and raving, they have managed to make themselves the most obvious next step. I had thought, prior to the nuke revelations, that SyrLeb would be the obvious next step. But following & stopping the money that runs it will be more effective, anyway.

I guess being the squeakiest wheel, discounting the ravings of the NorKs, is just too attractive to the terminally stupid. Okay, we see you. You've managed to put yourself at the top of the list. Congrats. Condolences to Little Mo's "bloodline."

#4 Excellent analysis, .com.

PS Why'd you change your handle? What'd I miss?
