#1 So in the end it comes down to two big Axis of Evil players---Saudi Arabia and Iran. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, at least for now. It is inevitable that the West will have a showdown with these clowns. They are flush with petrodollars and Euros. They are about to get nuclear weapons. They think that they are in the catbird's seat with the EU's appeasement.

If Iraq is cleaned out of terrorists enough for the country to start turning around, then Iran is doomed. If Iraq is maintained in a destabilized state through Iranian and Saudi (with Syrian proxies, too) resources, then Iraq is doomed and we have one hell of a situation on our hands.

Failure in Iraq is not an option. We need a successful Iraq. And then we need to dismantle Iran and Saudi, one way or another. What makes this war tough is that we are fighting against our own money, so to speak.

#3 "And we are then agreed. There shall no more be any mention of that unfortunate goat incident." (Ha, by the hairs on my mother's nose, you eater of dogs and infidel dweller of a dung heap, to the twelfth generation of your idiot offspring.)

#4 Good fun, A-moose, heh!

This clearly demonstrates the Muslims First Rule... It's funny as hell, but also an amazingly transparent object lesson regards Islam. Keep this unthinkable (a mere 2 or 3 yrs ago) meeting in mind when someone begins blathering about Mythical Moderate Muslims or pretends to understand how to play the Shi'a off the Sunni in a triangulation ploy. Beware - quicksands ahead.
