#1 Hey, Mottaki.

We won't start it, you did back in '79. But we darned well will finish it.

#2 owever, we are in a positon to rapidly END a war with Iran. Lots and lots of targets there in the civil infrastructure. No need to put a single boot on the ground.

Let the Mullahs figure out how to run a county of 75 million with 9th centruy technology, no roads, bridges, telecom, electricity, sewage, potable water... And no modern military to back them up (take out the logistics centers and C3I).

Give us 240 hours of continuous GPS guided strkes, and Iran will be the 9th century playground the Mullahs have always wanted.

#3 Cheney should go directly to the triple dog dare.

#4 No? One top class US nuclear sub is capable of destroying over 200 large cities. However, all that is needed to stomp the Ayatollahs, is the destruction of the nuke sites and Qom. And the loss of the Khomeini Monument in Teheran would cause Iranians to turn on the clerics. Military professionals in Iran - and they exist - are not to happy with the Ayatollah's looting of the national treasury. The general public gets nothing from the Islamofascist state.

#5 I think we have shown considerable restraint with the mad mullahs and the smart ass lil nazi sumbitch. The trouble is they believe their own bullshit.

#6 Suppose we aren't. OK. We can sure as hell start one! And there won't be much left to hit back when we're done!

#7 I think this is what guys like Cheney would call a miscalculation.

#8 Wonder if Mottaki also whistles when he walks past the cemetery late at night?

#9 I love the way that the same bitches that scream bloody murder at our "unilateralism" are the same ones that scream when we let the "allies" undertake to lead the diplomacy for 5 years.

What's the matter? France, Germany and the UK aren't worthy of our confidence in this area; but they are in anything else?

Richardson and all the rest are a bunch of bullshit artists.

#10 ...a county of 75 million with 9th centruy technology, no roads, bridges, telecom, electricity, sewage, potable water...

Golly, sounds like an Islamic paradise. There's none of that infidel polio vaccine, is there? OK, just checking. Sign me up!

#13 Expect another fake muslim street blowup like the Danish cartoons shortly. Iran will try again to deflect the world's attention through Muslim Victimhood.
