#1 But the Americans should know that they will carry all hope of dominating Iran and causing insecurity in Iran to their graves

Yo, General..Ask the Z-man how it feels to have the Devil Dogs biting your butt.

#3 If we aren't, that explains a lot about the ~~firings~~ resignings ~~ass-kickings~~ from the CIA Covert Ops section. WTF have they been up to if not this type of operation??

#4 Yeah, what Frank G. said.

If we in fact haven't been helping the Iranian democratic resistance groups, that omission is perhaps the single greatest failure of the Administration's post-9/11 national security policy. Rantburgers will probably remember hearing (via alternate channels such as the Blogosphere - the MSM virtually embargoed this) about huge pro-American demonstrations and candlelight vigils in Iranian cities after 9/11.

Even Nick Kristof (NYT) traveled to Iran recently and reported to his readers that young Iranians are still favorably disposed to us, hate the mullahcracy (mullah-ocracy?), and hope our forces do well against the Islamofascist insurgents in Iraq (BTW, I'd have LOVED to see how much hatemail he got from his LLL readers on that one).

If we've been doing stuff behind the scenes, great. But I'm afraid that Powell and his deputy, Mr. "Iran Is A Democracy" Armitage represent the true thrust of American policy to date. This is almost treasonably stupid, and if the Dems had been savvy enough to nominate someone from the party's Rational Adult wing *cough* Lieberman* cough*, they could have used this issue, along with numerous others, to club GWB on national security from the right flank.
