#1 Of course they're defeated.

They aren't even anywhere close to Baghdad.

#2 DRUDGEREPORT/TOPIX > IRAN CLERIC SAYS IRAN MUST BECOME A MILITARY SUPERPOWER TO DEFEND ISLAM. The death of the USA-Israel is at hand.

Who knew?

* DEBKA > AL QAEDA is reportedly prepping a new Euro campaign.

*RIAN > IS IRAN A NUCLEAR POWER?

Again IMO, RUSSIA-CHIN + CENASIA/ASIA NOW, REST AFTER - both IRAN + RADICAL ISLAM includ AQ need potent MIL NUKE-WMD ARSENALS ASAP AMAP NLT 2010 or 2012 [Net article > hint of 2013?]. IFF THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ALREADY VIA "BLACK MARKETS/MAFIAS" AS PER PRE 9-11 + POST 9-11 NET REPORTS, THE MOST EXPEDITIOUS OR CONVENIENT WAY WOULD BE FROM UNSECURE COLD WAR SOVIET BASES-STOCKS, + BLACK MARKETS-MAFIAS, ETC. AGAIN.

#3 IRNA > OFFICIAL: IRAN AN IMPORTANT TRADE PARTNERS OF TAIJIKISTAN. One of Taijikistan's Big Five of global 75 trading nations; + IRAN, INDIA STRESS REGIONAL COOPERATION TO RESOLVE CRISIS IN AFGHANISTAN + TOPIX > INDIA'S MUSLIMS DEMAND MORE RIGHTS, AUTONOMY.

And EUROPE it is - again, IMO the Net evidence taken collectively indics that Iran's + Radical Islam's strategic focii is RUSS-CHIN + CENASIA [former SSR's?], at least for the time being as they dev nuke weapons capabilities. IRAQ, ISrael, ME, AFRICA, and areas in Euro are HOLDING/DIVERSIONARY/SECONDARY FRONTS, AT BEST ARE "PREPPING THE BATTLEFIELD" FOR FOLLOW-ON, POST-RUSS/ASIA NEW JIHAD.

WHAT WILL DUBYA-USA DO VV IRAN AS PER MIL ACTION, AS CLEARLY BOTH IRAN + ISLMAISTS ARE COUNTING ON DUBYA-USA NOT TAKING ANY MIL ACTION AT ALL AND ON DUBYA BEING A "LAME DUCK" FOR REST OF 2008???
