All while Bush let's "his" State Dept. still treat the Iranian mullahs with respect and call them "moderates", etc.

David Frum says CIA and State is in open rebellion against Bush. That doesn't sound like leadership to me.

Fire Powell and Tenet and the top 100 bureaucrats from each agency and start over with men that have real testicles.

But I'm afraid Bushie has too many of daddy's old wussies around.

Iran and Syria are ripe for regime change and it won't take three divisions to do it. Their people are ready to explode already.

And it's time to tell the House of Saud where to stick it and quit playing nice with those monsters.

But alas, it won't happen. And we've only got until January 2009 to move on these fronts.

The MTV attention span of most idiots in America won't last to 2008 and they'll likely put a Democrat back in office like Hillary and then we can all put our head between our legs and kiss our rear ends goodbye for sure.

Unless anyone has a real viable alternative for the GOP in 2008. I don't see one on the horizon.

I don't know about Syria, in fact, i have lots of Syrian friends who're devout fans of Syrian government and say that the government approvals ratings are extremely high, there have been over 25 pro-democracy, pro-freedom demonstrations in Iran for the past year and half, and none in Syria.

Let's not fool ourselves and let's not downplay Iran's fredom movement as a universal movement against tyranny.

What Persians want is not necessarily what Arabs want.

Iran would most likely take care of it's mullahs on it's own.
