If so, common sense tells you to take punitive military action against Iran.

And the group that is going to be in power in Iraq are - Iranian sympathizing Shiites! Have we just given Iran an ally?

So if the vehicle continuously (or frequently, say every second) throws a cloud of dust forward, or sprays a mist of dark paint on everything ahead of it, including the bomb IR sensor, the thing would have to go off prematurely, right?

If Iran is doing such, then they do indeed deserve punitive military action.

Or if the main vehicle was preceded by a little radio-controlled kiddie-car...

That border goes 2 ways. We should be stirring the sh#t on the Iranian side of the border. Must be some groups (disidents, Iranian Kurds, who could use some weapons and money.

RAF used this technique in the 70's for there most spectacular assassination, along with a home made shaped charge.

Solution to the problem, hunt the terrs down and remove sanctuaries so they no longer can hide.

Something we will never do cause it will upset the frogs and their future contracts with syria and iran.

We are well past the threshold of Iran triggering a massive US military response against targets all over Iran.

Bush is either biding his time to ensure Iraq is stabilized or they know something scary about Iran.

W needs to grow a pair. This PC BS is pathetic. I'd wring havock on these animals. My brother was a helo-evac pilot in 70-71 in Nam. He's going apesh!t with this current DC military strategy. Bill is not currently certified for an Apache, but if he were, he'd definately go for the ride!

And, oh BTW, screw the UN.

Again, when is W going to grow a pair?

WE certainly could turn that around on the iranians. set claymore mines along a corridor we believe the iranians are using to smuggle these weapons to iraq. Go back the next day, and military intellegence would have a gold mine of information laying all over the ground, and there would be NO dought as to who was smuggling weapons!

Lets get some!! Stop playing around with these chumps!

But...but...but...the "students who love us will rise up and overthrow the moolahs and hold hands across Iran and the world will by them a Coke and all will be well."


IF I HEAR, SEE, OR SMELL THAT LINE OF CRAP AGAIN I'LL PUKE.

Iran needs to have some of it's nuke sites missing.

SOON.

I'm thinking street sweeper - kicking up a big cloud of dust from those dry, dust choked streets in Iraq ... enough to cover the sensor (a sensor NOT that much unlike IR motion detectors I'm assuming).
