#1 Yes those mullahs are geniuses. They managed to install two pro-American governments backed by the most powerful military on the planet on either side of them.

#2 Those weren't wars. They were campaigns in a war. The War goes on and Iran is right up to their eyeballs in it.

#3 in the next phase of the WOT Bush should stop going to the UN and go straigt the US Congress ...and request a declaraion of war agaisnt iran..
this would leave only the no-war, peace and love to they brother crowd as the the only critics...and if congress turns down the request and we are hit hard there would be no excuses from the teddies out there...
and by going straigt after iran we could marginalize syria - she would have no choice but to get on the bandwagon and tear up her defense pact recently signed with iran.. i believe this pact was created with iran believing syria would be next..if we declare war on iran and leave syria out what would or could she do?

#4 "Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him."

"If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant."
