#1 If Iran is so confident, why are they spouting this stuff about revenge, Islamic time bombs, 600 missiles, Israel as a hostage, etc.?

About the only thing I hear the US saying is "Keep that $hi+ up and we're gonna kick your a$$ hard!"

#5 Despite blunt French talk of possible war with Iran, the United States may for the moment be too entangled in Iraq to turn from diplomatic to military action to curb Tehran's nuclear and regional ambitions.

The USN and USAF seem to have some time on their hands. Hell, why not ask the French along for some bombing runs? It would sure as heck confuse the Persians if some Thespians turned up to help out Sparta.

#6 The merit of the Thespians is that unlike the Spartans they could have returned to Thespia without being ashamed/outlawed/executed for it. But they freely decided to stay.

#7 Breaking News: (on the radio right now)

Ahmadinijad is in discussions with Mayor Bloomberg to arrange for a guided tour of Ground Zero next week when he comes to the UN.

(Perhaps Bloomberg can arrange for a guided tour hosted by Ahmadinijad of the marine barracks from 1983 in Lebanon).

Spit.
