I believe we're going to war. I'd been thinking Syria OR Iran, it's been looking like Syria, and I'd wondered how we could afford to leave Iran alone. Now it's looking like it's going to be BOTH. A hefty mouthful, but with strategic application of air power it should be doable.
Blair, while We are sure he IS angry, would not have spoken out like that out of anger. If he said that, then he and the President have been in close communication, and we are ready to roll. Molon Labe. Our guess is Defcon 4. The Buffalos are gassed up and ready to rotate off and wheels up.
Demonstrations in Tehran are like a war dance. They must be taken seriously. Our bet is that Ahmedinejad is bluffing. He is holding no cards, or nothing more than a pair. But the worst case is that he holds aces -- his own nukes. I would call his bluff.
The world watches with bated breath.
I would like to agree with you, but I am not convinced this Administration still has the stomach for another military fight and propaganda fight against World Opinion. Too bad, both are fights we need to have, ASAP, IMHO.
I wasn't the people of Iran that voted for this guy. The vote was fixed by the Mullahs to put a hardliner in charge since they are starting to feel the heat from the masses and wanted a crack down. THe mullahs would let over 80% of the people who wanted to run in elections. The fix was in.
I feel sorry for the majority of Iranians who have to live under such an evil, demented government bent on distabalizing the world.
I have a feeling the reason Iran is soo been banging the sword soo much lately is Russia has been telling them to go for it and "we got your back" and how Syria who's been their proxy for fighting the Israelis is about to get bitchslapped.
What the hell is Iran going to do when they can't pay someone else to fight their wars for them? (Syria, Hizbollah, etc...) Their own military is more hopeless than Saddam's was.
LOCK AND LOAD...

4? Got a ways to go then. Buffalos? Brewster ones.
