Hey TexKat!

If this is true it is about time, but probably too late.

How is your soldier doing?

[TADSLOS]

What a bunch of pathetic little cowards.

Thugs with a prayer mat.

Osama's son is living quietly in Iran.

Some speculate that Osama himself is in Western Iran.

[blade_tenner]

I'm all for this and a sustained bombing campaign against Iran, but who in the hell in their right mind would leak this if it was a clandestine directive?

Maybe to gauge the public reaction? Who knows, but I doubt that there are any real secrets in the ME..

A sustained attack against Iran may be a way to rally morale amongst the troops. I think we should have dealt with Iran two years ago. Saddam is dead, the Baathists are out of power, we need to focus on the real source of violence. If the admin. needs a legacy, this presents a real opportunity for them.

Sounds like the Iranians have been playing both sides up the middle.

He says that like we were the best of friends 'til now.

[TexKat]

Hi there Mad_as_he$$, thanks for asking he is presently in California training after which destination you know where.

I hope that you still have the candles burning!

I like that. Good one!

NYT, European desk. I'm saying, It's about time!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

It's a good thing.

[Reagan is King]

It has fuelled fears of direct armed clashes between US forces and Iranian operatives

The only people that would "fear" that are the Iranians and the NYT.

[sgtbono2002]

If the Iranian operatives are in Iraq why havent they been taken on before. They need killing.

I would say things are about to get bad for Iranians in Iraq, i fthey are smart they might start looking for a better vacation location.

Stick that in you ear Ahmapantsload.

[Historix]

This is true. But in addition to being a morale booster, a sustained air campaign against Iran would A) Stop and or prevent the flow of support for the insurgency from Iran and B) Destroy the infrastructure of the Iranian military and industry to eliminate their war-fighting capabilities for further conflicts that will likely occur otherwise. I was disappointed about sending a mere 20,000 troops at first but then again this was the MSM line and I had to dig to see that there were additional changes to our strategy. My hopes are up since the Iranian factor is now being seriously looked at. Unfortunately, this angle won't be discussed by the dinosaurs.

US forces turn on Iranians

There's nothing worse than a bunch of turned-on Iranians.

What a bunch of homos.

[Sen Jack S. Fogbound]

It is time we stop playing the "Patsy" with them. It is no great secret that Iran is behind much of the "insurgents" thru supplies, manpower, etc.

We shouldn't have to pretend to be dumb and blind! Who are we anyhow?

We may have the World's Most Powerful Army, and yet so politically inept in handling the result of use!

[Kimmers]

Could we just drop some really big bombs ?

[Beagle8U]

I have a nephew in the Marines. He also is in training somewhere in California. I'll add your solider to the prayers.

Here's another dee-bag.

"I have to say, Madam Secretary, that I think this speech given last night by this president represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam,"

Who else in DC is for the War on Terror besides Bush?
