Excellent, if you have a big ass-to-risk...

LOL!

"Bottom line: Iran would have to take their best shot, because they will not get a second one."

The only counter to a mass suicide attack would likely be mass extermination, like the island battles of WWII. Except you'd be fighting large population centers this time.

...Iran doesn't now have a nuclear weapon...

Do we know that for sure?......other than they haven't shot one at us yet?

The answer to your question is we don't know what we don't know and that comes straight from the top.

DNI Negroponte:The assessment has been somewhere at the beginning of the next decade, between 2010 (and) 2015. This remains the assessment. Intelligence that was obtained from Iran showed that they may have been trying to conceptualize how to adapt one of their missiles to a nuclear weapon. It is cause for concern.

Certainly, we know where the key installations are, the ones that have been monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency – Isfahan and Natanz. Are there others that we're not aware of at all? You don't know what you don't know.

I suppose you have seen the e-mail going around that misspells every word...the words start and end with the proper letter......the interior letters are jumbled. The point of the piece is that it don't make any difference if the words are spelled correctly...only that they contain the proper letters and they start and end with the proper letters.

BTW.....I don't hat speling police...somebodies got to do it....mights well be you...

The moslem fighters were so convinced of their supposed Mahdi's invincibility that they marched en masse across an open, flat plain into the artillery, machine gun, and repeating rifle fire of the British forces and were mowed down by the thousands.

I remember reading that, too. Thanks for posting this - it does show the essential weakness of their whole project.

However, as you point out, they have a lot more firepower now. And it's probably all directed at civilians, and I am sure they have also figured out plausible deniability, so it's not only going to be impossible for us to strike first, it's going to be enormously difficult even to respond. And that's what they're counting on.

Overconfidence is not a quality that we can afford to have at this point in the political 'game'. A positive outlook is fine, but don't make the mistake that the DemRats made in 2000, 2002 and 2004, of ASSuming they had it in the bag.

I don't put anything past the DemRats in their quest to regain power. The fake national guard memos, the fake torture scandal, the fake outting of Plame, the fake domestic spying scandal, trying to criminalize politics in their last ditch attempt to 'get Bush, Cheney and Rove'....all these DemRat ploys are childs-play compared to what they are probably plotting and planning.

Good caution...never assume or take anything for granted.

At the same time don't be caught and paralyzed like a deer in the headlights just because your enemies are threatening,especially if they are simply bluffing.

The Dems have totally pissed off the average decent American voter and no matter the chagrin with current events and present leaders they will never accept the Dems insanity. The Dems as we knew them once are in total disarray with no hope of recovery.

This upcoming election and '08 will see that unlike the "sophisticated Metro voter" the heartland is completely turned off to the idiocy of the Leftist/Liberal hatred and sedition of what's left of the Democrat Party.\

AmericaHate has had a major counter-reaction from loyal,clear thinking citizens and they will make their opposition clear at the ballot boxes.

As a student of history I certainly take this guy as a real threat.

No one but an idiot would dismiss what this mad man has in store for most of the world.

Yet the likes of Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosie and other Chamberlain types are critizing Bush for not negotiating.

I seem to remember Bill Clinton and Madam Albright negotiating with another mad man and you can see where that got us, no where.

This Iranian fiasco is a sound reason why we must not ever let someone of Hillary's ilk into power.

Well a lot can happen in three more years.

I would not doubt that we might even be in a greater war than the one in Iraq.

Could it be that Ahmadinejad is thinking about attacking across the border into Iraq.

Hitting the US Army with an ever decreasing strength in numbers.

I think Ahmadinejad reads our traitorous New York Times and the Washington Compost.

I think most other countries have learned not to mess, directly, with Isreal.
