WHILE Washington is looking for ways to adjust its strategy in Iraq, Tehran seems to be preparing to "settle scores" with it by preventing the emergence of a pro-American regime in Baghdad. The Iranian leadership appears confident about its chances to call the shots in Iraq. To test the waters, Iran on Wednesday dispatched its deputy foreign minister, Hussein Sadeqi, to Iraq with the mission to negotiate an end to the stand-off between the U.S.-led Coalition and gangs of Shiite rebels in Baghdad and Najaf.

"We have some scores with America that must be settled one day."

We have some scores with Iran, also.

Remember the hostages.

Their nuclear plants should have been wiped from the face of the Earth months ago.

What are we waiting for?

Ever since their buddy al Querry sent those emails to his buddies, the murdering mullahs of Iran, we have seen them get braver and bolder.

That email and only God knows what other treason by al al Querry has given the mass murdering mullahs of Iran the resolve to hold on.

If their buddy al Querry is elected, they can continue their two decade old war of terrorism against civilization, Israel, America and our our allies.

Tehran leaders believe that the U.S. defeat in Vietnam enabled China to establish itself as the rising power in Asia. They hope that a U.S. defeat in Iraq will give the Islamic Republic a similar opportunity to become what Rafsanjani calls "the regional superpower."

The enemy is becoming much clearer!

It must never be forgotten that, had the American President at the time of the Iranian hostage crisis treated it for what it was, an act of war, and taken the apropriate action, the entire Terror War we find ourselves in today might have been avoided.

The 9-11 Comission's search for someone "responsible" for that massacre has avoided the ONE American most culpable in starting the chain of events leading to it...James Carter.

That hapless fool is a living example of the folly of entrusting the defense of a nation to a feckless Leftist.

This goomba must do his political calculations with a crayon.

Apparently the moslems haven't learned much since their Sept. 11th plan to cause the United States to break-up was so successful

You are right on target with this statement: The 9-11 Comission's search for someone "responsible" for that massacre has avoided the ONE American most culpable in starting the chain of events leading to it...James Carter.

However, he is not a hapless fool. He was/is a highly intelligent Manchurian candidate for the Communists and Islamofascists. His first successor was the Clintoon, and the next Prince of Darkness is al Querry.

One can only wonder how much money the murdering mullahs have sent over to America to buy out politicians from Carter, to the Clintoons to al Querry.

We have some scores to settle too. ......scores which go back to 1979.

I do not believe that Iran is acting against us alone. I also believe Syria is acting against us.

The "targetted" responses are inadequate for fighting a mulitnational world war. We have our coalition... still. And they have theirs. Ours is public. Theirs is privately held. But surely WE should, as Americans know this. Our Commander-In-Cheif, SHOULD be making sure we are educated abou this. Name the foreign states with whom we are actually at war with. Syria, Iran, and I am guessing Saudi Arabia. More are against us... but these are the primary islamic nations involved.
