#1 If the U.S. doesn't have the stones to carry out the end of the Islamo-Fascist regime in Iran, it is nice to know that Israel does and will reduce the Persian Empire into a glowing ashcan.

Remember when President Bush called Iran part of the Axis of Evil and our Left-liberals laughed? Who is laughing now, Murtha, Kerry, Clinton, Kennedy and all you other insufferable asshats?

#2 If this worries you, read the story on Rafsanjani saying the Islamic world could nuke Israel and basically get away with it. Then you'll really be worried about these assholes. When is the world going to aknowledge that they are going fully full-on for a nuke, and they won't hesitate to use it when it's done. And all the U.N. can do is threaten them with sanctions?? The U.N. is right, they really need a new building.

#3 There have been some extremely interesting developments in the US-Israel relationship. I wonder whether the strategy has been, all along, for us to establish a Mid-East Beachhead in Iraq and allow Israel to attack Iran from behind our shield. Meanwhile, Israel and the US have shown their willingness to compromise with the Gaza withdrawal and the statement by the president promising help to a Palestinian state.

Indeed, this heightened rhetoric by Iran may be in reaction to their inability to harness outrage over the Palestinian cause to justify their terror. Considering this, I would consider the Iranian rhetoric as a sign of weakness and desperation. At least they are showing their true colors at heightened volume, loud enough that our "allies" cannot pretend that the motives of Iran are opaque and unknowable.

2006 may be the turning point when we suppurate the wound of the Middle East.

#6 You forgot to mention that Rafsanjani is a moderate.

LOL!

#7 I assume (based on reported threats during the Cold War) that the footprint of Israeli weapons would be at least as far as Moscow. That puts all the mid-east and most muslim lands within range of missile attach.
