FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Well, we got up this morning and we're breathing, and we're happy. That in and of itself is evil enough for those nutjobs usually, isn't it?!

He really does sound like he wants a war and wants us to strike first.

"Enrichment above 5 percent is not on Iran's agenda," Aghazadeh told the students' ISNA news agency.

Bullsh*t. It's probably already happened.

Iran doesn't need us to attack them in order to justify in the extremist's minds an attack on Israel..they already believe that Israel should not exist. The level of air bombardment and/or invasion needed to take out Iran's capability will make it harder to attack Israel, not easier.

I don't understand his game.

Yep, and if we do strike first we should do so in a fashion that ensures that there will no longer be an Iran to strike back.

Iran threatened on Tuesday to attack Israel in response to any "evil" act by the United States and said it had enriched uranium to a level close to the maximum compatible with civilian use in power stations.

In further "Breaking News", the U.S. announced that it had placed Iran on "Double Secret Probation"!!!

"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for the Jewish state to be "wiped off the map."

This reminds me of the 10 commandments movie when Pharoah
brought down the wrath on his own son by declaring all 1st born Israel would die.

I have not seen an estimate below 1000 sorties and to do that you've got to take out all their air defenses, command and control and retaliation capacity. All that is gonna make them less able to strike at Israel or anybody else.

and frankly to be really sure we'll need boots on the ground. So this guy is acting in a way that doesn't make sense.

Yeah. I showed up to post that. This is sounding more and more like he wants to be hit.

Hm. Maybe their nuclear program isn't as far along as we think. Or maybe they have something ghastly already in place and they're looking for a justification to let it loose. Or maybe he is just a psycho.

I'd give a lot to know.

'I don't understand his game."

I do. He's dying of cancer. He's a member of a sub-cult of Islamist who want an apocalypse. He wants to bring about said apocalypse.

Pretty much Jim Jones with nukes.

This is a 3,000 year old country with a long history of science and learning. And the President isn't really in charge - and he is actually more moderate than many his competitors.

If the realy rulers are allowing him to invite a war then there is a reason. They expect to profit in some fashion. I just don't know what it could be.

The "profit" they have in mind is after everyone is dead.

I' ve wondered if maybe they have not aquired a bomb or two from the ex-soviets or Pakistan and maybe their internal program isn't going so well.... But they ought to be able to see what happened to Saddam.

And they know President Bush can't be reelected the next President could be a Democrat - why push for us to attack them faster?
