They're not very well informed, are they? Iran already cracks down on democratic movements as best it can, and already is openly aligned and giving material support to terrorists.
The primary goal is to eliminate the threat, which is the regime and their armaments. Once the regime is gone, what do you think the Iranians are going to do... reject what they've been working to achieve all these years? I doubt it.
I don't think those journalists have any comprehension of the capabilities of the US military. They probably think a war would look something like the Iran-Iraq clusterf$ck of the 1980s.
Exactly. Decapitate the regime is all we need to do, and let the people of Iran take it from there.
Nothing other than the usual bluster, I'm sure.
Help Persian people and they will finish the job
Bump!
The oppressive mullahocracy is so despised internally and so dangerous externally it will go down this year.
Ceaucescu II: Shock and Awe coming soon.
Some Persian radio talk show hosts usually work for Rafsenjani.
The CIA had reportedly concluded, based on computer simulation and war games, that attacking Iran would not work, putting the agency out of step with the Bush administration. The administration attacked Hersh's story as inaccurate but did not deny the existence of a strike plan.
And I thought there are computer simulations and war games on possible targets in even friendly nations.
It maybe true that US does not yet have a sensible Iran plan. With respect to Mr. Powel, maybe 4 years of his hesitation made it appear obvious, that he did not believe wholeheartedly as the president did in implementing terrorist policy and especially towards Iran. But Ms. Rice was firm and refreshing last week in contrast. I think just a little coordination between armed Iranian resistance and minimum external support can bring the rest of Iranian people out to finish the job, AS THEY SHOULD.
Thanks for the ping.
