#1 did someone say we wanted "relations?" I sure as hell didn't and don't expect my government to seek any "engagement" these people are openly at war with us.

#2 John Kerry warned us this would happen. Now there will be hell to pay.

#3 Damn camel jocks, you have "relations" whether you plan to or not. In Iran's case, our "relations" with them will eventually go boom.

#4 Relations with Iran?
OK, but only when the American Embassy in Teheran is completely rehabbed, painted, re-furnished and scrubbed clean, and a committee of former militants goes around to each of the former hostages and apologizes deeply and sincerely for their captivity.
And not a moment before.

#5 It would be pretty bad if the selfproclaimed purest of the faithful were willingly having relations and talking to the "great satan." Memo to magic mullahs: If you choose to make a thing ugly well then it's surely going to get really ugly.

#6 I suspect that in time the Iranians will find themselves grabbing their ankles while engaged in relations with the IAF and/or the USAF.

#7 This eliminates the need to evac nationals when the Ohio class SSBN unloads its tubes in the Indian Ocean.

#9 "new government of ultra-conservative Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

It's really disconserting that the press uses the word "conservative," when describing these terrorists. Everytime the subject of Iran is brought up in the MSM, they go out their way to report a subsequent story with GOP subject matter. Since the word "conservative" is used in both stories, the uninformed public equates terrorists with the GOP.

#10 No, no, no PR - they elected an ultra-conservative"!

Where's Barry Goldwater when you need him?
