*cough* North Korea *cough*
You know ole Mahmoud is cruisin' for a bruisin', but that's what he wants. He seriously believes he's the Second Coming. He could give a rats a$$ if a million people were killed. He just sees hinself as the leader of a new Islamic order. That's what's scary.
How much land have those that support the Palestinians in Tehran given them? If they think they owe them something, give them some of your land.
They couldn't beat Iraq.
He, and all the bad guys, lnow that as a result of Dubya's missteps and ineptness since last summer, he is too politically weak to do anything about Iran, now.
I think the american public, already weary about Iraq, isn't about to back Bush & The Boys on another adventure in the Mid East.
Having an unpopular president in this dangerous world is terrible.
'I just kidding! Call off bombers! See! Hands up! Me make joke. Funny, no? Hahaha'
Then he'll have a halo.
Everytime I hear Iran talk about how its going to defeat America, destroy Israel and build a Nuke, I get this vivid picture of Slim Pickens riding that Nuclear Bomb just a hootin and a hollerin all the way down to the target. For those that don't know, the movie was Dr. Stangelove.
Now if someone could photoshop that with Iran as the target.
Just look at the EVIL in every part of his body, in this picture, of this man. Sad; Is it not?
Buy a clue, Mohammed.
You only see what we want you to see.
When that no longer serves our purpose, we'll poke your eyes out with a stick.
And there ain't a thing you will be able to do about it.
Several of my previous replys said flatly a long time ago that we should have gone after both of them at the same time and if we had we would have caught them flat footed back on their heels. Back then we had three Battle groups in the Persian Gulf poised for action that would have ended this mess once and for All!
"Start a war"? Only an idiot would think it hasn't been on for several years now.
Been reading the NY Times or watching the Today Show too much.
This raghead POS general has forgotten about our massive USAF back here in the USA that is just waiting to take a giant shi$t on him and his terrorist ilk.
Semper Fi'
Jarhead
I hope he's ready for us, because Israel could take Iran without our help.
Excerpts;
Mr. Talbott jump-started his career after a brief stay in Moscow in the summer of 1969, where he had gone with his Oxford roommate Bill Clinton, and met up with a well-known KGB asset named Victor Louis.
Strobe Talbott and the Shahab missile
I have testified in various committees on Iran's Shahab and Kosar missile programs, which would not exist without direct assistance from the government of Russia. The Shahab-3 missile in particular, which is now deployed in southwestern Iran and is capable of targeting Israel with nuclear, chemical, or biological warheads, should in my view have Strobe Talbott's name written all over it.
Mr. Talbott's consistent refusal to confront the Russians over their missile technology transfers toIran illustrates once again a series of opportunities we missed to prevent post-Cold War Russia from going down the dark paths where we encounter her today.
The warnings were visible early on, and they were ignored. Initial information on Russian assistance to the Shahab missile programs in Iran came from Israeli agents in Russia in 1995 and 1996. The Israelis felt confident enough of their information to present a detailed briefing to Mr. Talbott in Washington in September or October of 1996. According to one of the Israelis who took part in the briefing, whom I interviewed in Tel Aviv the following year for Reader's Digest, Mr. Talbott told them not to worry: he had the situation with Russia "under control."
Strobe Talbot again...
OCTOBER SURPRISE, Part 6 Iran's hidden U.S. cash stash $2 billion in military spare parts could cover terror victims' losses
excerpts;
At the time, Talbott was toying with the notion of a "grand strategic bargain" with Iran of Kissingerian proportions. Talbott's partners in the scheme were Vice President Al Gore and National Security Advisor Tony Lake.
To woo Iran away from buying nuclear technology from Russia that could advance Iran's clandestine nuclear weapons program, the U.S. would offer to resume diplomatic and full trade relations, while sweetening the pot with the return of Iran's frozen assets in the U.S.
Never mind that Rafsanjani quoted a figure -- $17 billion -- that was a good $6 billion higher than any previous Iranian government estimate of the monies frozen in the United States since the time of the shah. It was a negotiating position. And more importantly, it was a reply to Talbott's question: What would it take to get the ball rolling?
At the end of the shah's reign, in January 1979, Iran had $12 billion worth of weapons orders in the pipeline. Iran had a positive balance of $400 million in the FMS account when President Carter froze Iran's assets in November 1979.
OCTOBER SURPRISE, Part 4
Clinton shields Iran from U.S. justice Blocks restitution to families of victims murdered by state-sponsored terrorists
excerpt;
In an extraordinary move, Clinton exercised that waiver on Oct. 21, 1998, in Presidential Determination No. 99-1, "Determination to Waive Requirements Related to Blocked Property of Terrorist-List States."
In that document, President Clinton acknowledged for the first time in writing that his administration was engaged in a secret diplomatic overture to the Islamic Republic of Iran, which required him to protect Iran's assets in the United States.
Thank you Jimmy Carter.
My take on all his daily ranting is that he is is deathly afraid of something. His irrational outbursts are deflecting something perceived as painful or dangerous or both.
