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

"When they wear this scarf they told me it means: I am ready, I am purified, I am militarily trained, I am Islamically pure to commit a suicide attack right now…

..and if they wear a cap with a spinner on it, it means "I'm,a bigger idiot than the guy next to me, for I know better but wanna go faster"

Why are we all so certain that this letter was a provacation?

I fear that we are dismissing out of hand a sincere and important appeal for peace, understanding and dialogue.

I think Ahmenejad's invitation to Bush to join Islam was touching. What could be more friendly and genuine than asking someone to join you in peaceful worship? And he even said sweet things about Jesus Christ! Doesn't this show that Islam is a religion of tolerance?

If President Bush truly wanted peace and not just to grab more oil, he would designate Jimmy Carter as a special envoy and send him to meet with Ahmenejad and the Ayatollah Khameini.

Who in the US has more experience in getting hosed in the rump by Jihadists?

"teach the American Army a lesson they will never forget," which will eclipse anything they experienced in Afghanistan or Iraq."

Iranians better work on their analogies, because the American military has kicked butt in both places.

"Indicators observed by independent Iran watchers during the past week are raising the question that nuclear-seeking Iran is not merely playing a serious game of brinkmanship, but is actually preparing to strike at Israel, European and US interests."
Thanks to late Jim Kelly...

The really sad part about all this is that it is apparent that the first strike MUST be made by iran just to prove that the U.S. "is not like them". P.C. run amok.

I suppose a nuclear strike against "the West" killing hundreds of thousands or a million, more or less, of us would be enough "provication" to cause our leaders to finally wage a devistating war on radical islam.

I for one, however, am not going to hold my breath.

I would have thought that 3000 dead in one attack would have done the trick and this problem would have been totally solved by now.

So, it is now down to a waiting game to find out just how many Americans and Isralies must be vaproized before the U.S. does something to solve the problem.

We can only hope and pray that when the bomb goes off, it is not in our neighborhood.

[BadAndy]

I hope Israel has their nukes in separate and secure locations so they all can't be taken out by a single hit.

Thomas also reported that 52,000 people are believed to have joined a new Iranian organization called the "Lovers of Martyrdom" whose goal is to place a "suicide" bomber unit into every division of the Iranian army.

When the iranian troops begin amassing on the Iraqi border, it will be popcorn time for us who watch. I just wonder what massive and interesting mix of weaponry the U.S., Brits, and Iraqis will brings against that wall of iranian suicidists pozed to enter the Iraqi nation.

The problem with a "nut"like Ahmadiejad is you never know if he's simply trying to whip up the faithfull or he really plans on a first strike against Israel.Israel has more than enough nukes to turn Iran into a wasteland.

"We were at this parade, and in all his statements he tells his people: 'Prepare in your hearts for the return of the Mahdi...' Speaking to his troops he actually said: 'You are the men who have been commissioned to usher in the return of the Mahdi.'"

Responding, Robertson described Ahmadinejad as "nuts … out of his mind."

Pat Robertson may want to refer back to the Bible for an eye opener...Ahmanutjob in my view is right on the money on this one...

Maybe it's about time that Israel cut itself loose to do what they decide to do. That means, be understood, that they do it without any support from us and be solely responsible for their own future. If you act alone, you live alone.

"Thomas also reported that 52,000 people are believed to have joined a new Iranian organization called the "Lovers of Martyrdom" whose goal is to place a "suicide" bomber unit into every division of the Iranian army."

Cluster bombs will make hamburger of these 52,000.

I saw one of those 'disaster' documentaries about a month ago that dealt specifically (some solar thing) with the disater that struck Canada a few years back and 'fried' a lot of their electrical infastructure.

Anyway, the program went on to state that there are six strategic points in the US that could 'knock-out' all the electrical power to the whole US if those six points were destroyed. Fortunately, the program didn't say specifically where those six points were.

What do you think about this one?

"When they wear this scarf they told me it means: I am ready, I am purified, I am militarily trained, I am Islamically pure to commit a suicide attack right now…"

Faulty translation. It really means, "Hey, look at me -- I'm a self-designated target!"

IMO, any middle easterner wearing one of those "scarves" -- or appearing in public with his face covered -- should be the immediate recipient of a .308 (or larger) sniper round.

Ishaq:208

“When Allah gave permission to his Apostle to fight, the second Aqaba contained conditions involving war which were not in the first act of submission. Now we bound themselves to war against all mankind for Allah and His Apostle.

He promised us a reward in Paradise for faithful service. We pledged ourselves to war in complete obedience to Muhammad no matter how evil the circumstances.”
