#5 Hmph. Rage and fury erupts when you confuse the Persians with the Arabs, but from listening to them, you couldn't tell any difference.

#6 Then what do you need nuclear power for? If you can already beat us on $50 or so billion dollars a year. You know, half a day income for us.

#7 The sequel insults that was inevitable when Dhimmi Carter took the "Great Satan", supine. Them mullahs seize the slightest sign of weakness for escalating their farts from the anal end.

#10 That comment comes via Istanbul, FWIW.

But in response - maybe because Israel has never threatened to kill all the Muslims, whereas more than one Muslim has threatened to kill all the Jews.

I'm neither Jewish nor Muslim, but Israel has my support on this one.

#11 Good to know there's Republicans in Istanbul. I, too, am bullish about the fall elections. But I don't think McKinney will lose.

#12 "why are they refusing to us while Israel has it without investigation...?"

For exactly the same reason we don't permit little children to run around the house with sharp objects.

#13 I suspect that the Iranians have committed a bunch of resources forward in expectation of an immediate US attack, and that the *expenses* of those resources are starting to increase. Not just monetary expense, either.

For example, they have had a heavy Corps on the Iraqi border now for months. Their combat effectiveness must be degrading rapidly at this point. Big jumps in the need for refined fuel, spare parts, and all the logistics needed to keep them there start to add up. Desertions must be sky high.

Their military might be sending a message to the Mullahs that if they don't get into a fight and quick, their units are going to have to retire and spend months reconstituting in the rear. Of course, that would be the best time for the US to do its thing.

#14 Iran is whistling past the graveyard.

The real answer is Isreal is not a signatory to the NNPT. Iran is a signatory to the NNPT. Iran is out of compliance. Iran knows what the ramafications of it's violations of the treaty entail. Iran signed the treaty of it's own free will. I agreed to abide by the treaty. It is now in violation of the same. This is not "double secret probation."

The solution to Iran's problems are simple. Iran must get back in compliance with the NNPT and give the IAEA full, free and unfetered access to any site which the IAEA suspects is being used for any nuclear research, work, storage, processing or other activities.

It's not about Isreal or India. It's about Iran. Iran need to focus on it's problems and STFU.

#15 There's also the whole "Muslims must rule, by force if necessary, and non-Muslims must submit" bit. Not too popular in some parts, know what I mean?

#16 And Pakistan has the bomb and we've not tried to take it from them. Though I'll bet we could in a pinch.

#18 We've 'safeguarded' Pakistan's nuclear weapons, or so we've been told.

#20 from Jihad Watch:

Tehran, Iran, Apr. 15 – A top Iranian military commander said on Friday that the Islamic Republic’s Army and Revolutionary Guards “are today in a situation to make the Oppressor World [the United States and its allies] feel the great powers that are at Iran’s disposal”, the state-run news agency Mehr reported.

Brigadier General Mohammad-Hossein Dadras, commander of the regular Iranian army’s ground forces, said Iran’s military has identified “the enemies’ weak spots” in the region and its missile capabilities would guarantee Iran’s “national interests”.

“We have identified and studied the enemies’ strong and weak spots in the region regarding ground, sea, and air forces”, Dadras said at the Friday prayers ceremony in Tehran.

“Today, we have in the country that which is adequate to face threats. Right now, we have that thing which, when required, will land on the enemy’s weak spot. The enemies know this”, Dadras said.

“We do not need foreign support. We have an adequate missile capability which can guarantee our national interests”, he said.

“Iran’s capability is such that no one dares to come near it. If they do they will return with no success”....

“We are very capable in dealing with the enemy in a military confrontation. We have never been so strong as we are today”, General Dadras told the Friday prayers congregation over a chorus of “Death to America”.
