I am not surprised. Iran has been at war with us for 28 years. Maybe one day we will fight back.

Yes, the world will be a very dangerous place until these demons are purged from it. I'm convinced they've become even more bold and sure of themselves lately, and much of our political establishment has given them that confidence in its unrelenting undermining of the Iraq mission and its insistence that Iraq is another defeat like Vietnam.

A fine list of who is inspiring Iran to feel confident that they can kill Americans with the confidence that they'll have supporters in America to keep them safe.

How many times
Must the Tehran regime
laugh in the US's face?
Yes and how many times
Must Iran attack
Without paying the slightest price?
The answer, my friend,
The answer ... is taking too damn long to get here so can we hurry up and bomb those suckers already?

Good point. They're not interested in this case for obvious reasons. They don't want to appear fair and nonbiased.

The articles a mixed bag, but it gives some idea when the NYT has to report it (like CNN and NBC) that sources far and wide are aware the military believes Iran is the culprit. Otherwise, NYT would spike this story. They just had to try to find a spin that'd work for them.

It is not a peace movement. It is an anti-American war movement. The protesters are decidedly pro-Palestinian war.
When terrorists commit war crimes it is because we deserved it. We are all Little Eichmanns. < /s >

It's time to fight back.
If they don't see a border, neither do I.
After all, it is an imaginary line.

We could at least support publicly those fighting for freedom in Iran. And we could covertly turn the tables on Iran and support its disgruntled citizens who are willing to take up arms. But better yet, we could destroy its entire military infrastructure with air power so that its powers of coercion (police and army) have to be busy at home and not supporting terrorism in Lebanon, the West Bank, Argentina and Iraq.

Iran
may have done this?! And it really drives me nuts that all Bush has to say about it is that they better stop or we're gonna start getting upset. Nothing makes a point like firebombing a few dozen border towns that are being used as staging areas for terrorists.
With our reconnaissance jets and satellites that can see a mouse burp from space, am I supposed to believe that this is some kind of new revelation and the administration is shocked by this? Until we summon up the courage to confront Iran, they're going to continue to propagate terrorism while laughing at our weakness.
To: elhombrelibre
And members of Congress don't want us to go after Iran
