According to several recent reports, the Obama administration is now considering more forceful action against Iran in Iraq. This is as understandable as it was inevitable; as I wrote many months before the invasion of Iraq, it is folly to expect to maintain decent security there so long as the current regime remains in power in Tehran. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his henchmen cannot tolerate the existence of a free, stable democratic society in its Shi’ite neighbor to the West, nor in Afghanistan to the East.
The Iranian tyrant is threatened by an ongoing mass uprising by his own people, and he desperately wants to demonstrate that the Islamic Republic can destroy and eventually dominate any would-be free state in the region. No surprise, then, that just as Iran arms, funds, indoctrinates and trains its proxies in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is providing all manner of assistance to Bashar al Assad in Syria to crush the insurrection there, and is supporting Islamist forces in other Arab countries, notably Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, to wrest control of the evolving governments from the hands of the freedom-seeking people who were in the front lines of the successful revolutions.
President Obama’s search for an effective strategy to thwart Iran’s murderous activity is driven by two developments: the mounting tempo of violence against American and allied troops and civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the failure of his “outreach” to the mullahs. After two and a half years, the president has apparently realized that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei will not clasp our outstretched hand; he wants to kill, kidnap and humiliate Americans whenever and wherever possible.

“The kind of covert action reportedly under White House consideration will not defuse the Iranian time bomb. Only regime change can accomplish that. No matter how many Iranian terror masters and their Arab and Afghan proxies we may kill or capture, the Iranians will continue their war against us; “death to America” is their motto and their mission.
We know how to bring down totalitarian regimes like Khamenei’s and Assad’s. We should do to them what we did to Gorbachev: build a strike fund for Syrian and Iranian workers, demand the release of political prisoners (by name), broadcast the real news about their countries to the people, get communications technology and—if they need it—funding to the dissidents. It doesn’t require bombs or bullets, just the will to bring down the tyrants and a combination of common sense and wit.”
A combination of Common sense and wit...from THIS administration!?!?!?
And the purpose of posting this is...?
you don’t see any difference in posting hateful, racist ranting, idiotic bs and an editorial by Michael Ledeen?
LOL. You're the idiot. Deciding what I can and cannot read is not your decision.
You posted two threads today... This one which got three replies (two are from you)...the other thread you posted was a triplicate and locked by the moderator.
I suggest you spend a little more time policing yourself at let other people post what they desire.
You're trying to censor!!
JimRob has moderators who police the threads, they don't need you...you're the one caught by them today.
Quit whining and trying to disrupt threads that you don't care for...just ignore them as (apparently) people have done today to your uninteresting threads.
#1. I asked a question which the poster of the thread never answered.
#2, I didn’t say he couldn’t post what he did.
#3. You can read whatever you want.
#4. You are posting across threads
btw - This Ledeen piece wasn’t posted today. And I don’t post threads to count the replies. The majority of people who read threads, DON’T reply.
Just replying to your weird accusatory post.

I’m sure you’re proud, but this really isn’t news. How about chat forum

Wrong. I’m not telling them “what they ought to post”. I’m suggesting the proper forum for it. They can post what they want & you are free to read it.
How about not telling them anything...you have your hands full getting your own threads correct.
And, I'm just suggesting that you stay out of other peoples posts unless you have something to contribute.
You're disruptive and that's your intent.
If you find something you don't like, just disrupt it, huh?
I think you’re disruptive - we’re even.
And it sounds to me as if you’re the one trying to give orders and tell another FReeper what & when they can post.
I hope I've irritated you enough that you'll be a little more polite and mannerly on future threads, that's all.
Have a nice evening.
