"If you want on or off this Iran ping list, Freepmail DoctorZin”

fyi
Good to see our young adults paying attention to the world stage. Not all of them are glued to MTV.
Consider the source of this criticism. It comes from a 21 year old college student.
Bush will deal with Iran more firmly than Kerry would. But Bush knows he must also get elected.
So in the end, the right thing gets done, but not just the precise way to suit a college history major.
Sounds to me like it's time for another "Operation Diaper Change," this one in Iran. The BS must stop - one way or another.
Same deal they did years ago, with Iraq's reactor? I think you're spot on.
Bush has to win this election. He can't come across as beligerent-period.
If Bush wins and Iran later refuses to cooperate with a Security Council resolution asking for compliance, the US will bomb.

Whack 'em. Whack 'em good. Whack 'em real good.
the F-15 E strike eagles can take the iranian facilities out without refuelling.
they were bought by israel to take the paki facilities out, but have been just rusting all these years. It's been so long that most the pilots who trained for the mission might be in wheel chairs as well.
Besides refuelling would never be a problem, they could use US airbases in iraq.
• “the president is taking a deadly gamble with national security”
• “the alternative to Iran's current leadership is even more extreme”
• “Any element of liberal reform in the country would be crushed by the predominance of extremist Islamic militants ”
How can one person be this terminally stupid?

Oh, OK, now I see.

Iran is much larger, further away, with more intelligent leadership and the element of surprise is gone. It is beyond Israel's reach.
"It is beyond Israel's reach."
I wouldn't bet on that.
When and if Israel decides that this is a risk they cannot tolerate, they will do WHATEVER they need to do to eliminate it, including preemptive tactical nuclear strikes.
Unlike many other pantywaist governments overly concerned about "world opinion", they know they are in a fight for their survival.
They are resourceful, dedicated, and talented people
They would do the world a favor!
He does not have to win. He is also continuing to show firmness. If that is belligerence, let him keep on.
The kids at least looking for patterns. He just hasn't quite tied it all together yet.
Iranian oil has nothing to do with it. AFAIK, we don't use Iranian crude either directly or via middlemen.
Bush doesn't have anything at all to say regarding Iran....at this time.
BTW, it wasn't 4 battalions, the media translated it wrong.
Per DARPA:
London: Al-Sharq al-Awsat (Internet Version-WWW) in Arabic 15 Jun 04 [Unattributed Report: "Iran Deploys Four Military Divisions Near [Iraqi] Border"]
Â
London, Al-Sharq al-Awsat -- Reliable Iraqi sources have revealed that Iran moved part of its regular military forces toward the Iraqi border in the southern sector and also
infiltrated numerous military intelligence elements into Iraqi territory.
Â
The source told Al-Sharq al-Awsat that four Iranian Army divisions, including the Golden Division [al-firqah al-Dhahabiyah], are currently stationed near the Iraqi border in the
Al-Amarah and Al-Basrah sector and in the vicinity of Dezful in the Maysan sector and Shalamcheh in the Al-Basrah sector.
Â
The source pointed out that the Iranians might plan to enter Iraqi territory if the US forces withdraw [from Iraq] in order to exploit the security vacuum that could occur there,
relying on their intelligence elements that have been infiltrated into Iraq since the overthrow of the former regime over a year ago.

You bet. But which project is first, Saddam's nerve gas in Syria (the ennouncement will get ally G.W. re-elected) or the Iranian "alternative energy supply" (sarcasm).
But to be talented includes the ability to recognise what is possible and what is not. BTW, Jewish people failed in that aspect a number of crucial times - one was the uprisings against Romans.
