I can't look at that....been reading the Ezekial Option novel....

[M. Espinola]

On page 333 of The Ezekiel Option, for example, a fictional Iranian leader calls for the annihilation of Israel, saying, "The world must understand—the Zionists must be humbled. Death to Israel". Sounds extremely familiar.

On page 74 of the novel, a fictional character warns that the Iranians "have been buying the latest weaponry from Moscow" and that "it is only a matter of time before they strike" Israel. On page 140, a fictional senior adviser to the President of Russia meets with the Iranian Ayatollah and the new president of Iran "to formalize the military alliance that had been developing between Russia and Iran" and "to show the Americans that a new global superpower was on the rise."

Putin is making the brutal Iranian régime's dreams come true .

• Iran and Russia in $1 Billion Arms Deal—Aljazeera.Net (12/2/05)
• Moscow Inks Arms Deal with Tehran—Moscow Times (12/5/05)
• Russia Agrees to Sell Missiles to Iran—Associated Press (12/5/05)

And that was a portion of last year's Russian arms sales to Iran.

Taint a pretty picture by any means. Guess we need more LUKOIL gas stations across the United States to help finance their missle programs.
