Fakhravar believes dialogue with Iran is useless. “The regime wants to have a nuclear bomb so it can wipe out a country it doesn’t like,” he said. “We don’t understand why the rest of the world doesn’t understand this.”
pong
War with Iran is inevitable, if not already openly declared by Ahmadinejad. The only question is whether we want to engage him militarily before or after he has nukes.

Talk about selfishness! It's almost complete arrogance to say that the IAF is "inferior" to the USAF
Somebody in the Pentagon just doesn't want the surrounding Arab nations to get all steamed up over an Israeli show of firworks.
I 100% approve of our Iraq policy, but in this case, wouldn't it be interesting to go to the UN and say, "You know, just this once, why don't YOU handle this, you humanitarians who are always bitching about human rights?"
And then watch the rush to actually DO something rather than just talk. Yeah, right.
Amazing article. After hearing about this white torture business the panties on the head and nude pyramid scheme seem like child's play.
Thanks for posting.
I feel sorry for the guy, but before we get our asses stuck in Iran, I would like to see a favorable sign. A popular revolt would be nice for starters. Show me a couple of pipelines blown up, or their parliament building set on fire. (Not a good one, it was done before, somewhere else. They blamed the Jooooz then too.)Its all talk and no action coming out of Iran. If they can smuggle explosives into Iraq it should work the other way too. Actions speak louder than words.
Call me cynical,
but I wouldn't buy a bridge
from this gentleman . . .
Well, we probably have more heavy combat experience than the Israelis now...when was the last time they were engaged in heavy air-to-ground against any defenses?
Hm. I suppose you could say the same about the USA, after the way we made mincemeat of the Iraqi air defenses.
Nice story. It is hard to know how big the Iranian dissident movement is, but it is at least a sizeable and well-spoken minority. If they ever did win a democratic government, though, they'd be plagued by the madness of their fundamentalists. Islamofascism will at best be reduced to the organized crime--the Murder, Inc.--of the Middle East.
I also think it is safe to say Iraq and the US would be having fewer problems today if Iran were democratic.
"Call me cynical"
Okay, you're cynical.
This is not the first time Iranians inside Iran have said this. Right after the Iraq invasion, there were a number of reports coming out of Iran, of ordinary people wondering when "the President Boosh" would come to liberate them too.
Sorry, but it has nothing to do with arrogance, it has to do with logistics. IAF cant get there and back, much less with sufficient sorties to do the job that will need to be done. The US can. That's not saying anything bad about the capabilities that the IAF does have.
"I also think it is safe to say Iraq and the US would be having fewer problems today if Iran were democratic."
I don't think anyone doubts that.
There are Iraqis
who call us liberators.
But that's like saying
there are professors
at US colleges who
are conservatives . . .
(Let's be rational --
It's the number of people
who believe that count.)
Talk about selfishness! It's almost complete arrogance to say that the IAF is "inferior" to the USAF
Even if it's true?
I do see your point in that logistically and geographically, we are better set for fixed-wing strikes against the Iranian nuclear plants.
But even still, I'd sure like to see some Stars of David melting some glass over Iran.
I agree. We should wash our hands of the matter. They are years from developing a working nuclear bomb. Until they actually perform a test and have a missile capable of hitting the United States, it's not our problem.
Iran knows that attacking the U.S. with a nuke is suicide. Not even this madman will do it. Clearly Iran has one goal- build a bomb and drop it on Israel. So let Israel deal with this.
Preferably, before. When he gets them, by his own admission, he will use them, and that is the egg. If a nuclear exchange is inevitable, he who strikes first, strikes last. I see no reason why we should not crack the egg and scramble it before it hatches. The spew coming out of the mouth of that crazy is warning enough. Kill the sumbitch where he sleeps before he plunges the world into the abyss.
He has sent us a nice, polite warning. 'Submit or else!' In very real terms, that is a declaration of war and an act of aggression. Time to not throw down the gauntlet, but to draw the sword and cut off the hand that would press the button. Time's a'waistin'. No first strike on Israel or America. No such power in the hands of an idiot who doesn't care what the difference is between a light switch and bomb button.
