Somehow I think that Iran was less than impressed with these latest utterances from JOHN F'IN KERRY's FORMER FOREIGN POLICY ADVISOR!

With the Saudis, Kuwaitis and others all looking at war with Iran, of course they would back a military strike on Iran.
These are the very same people who coined he expression "The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend".
This would be a friendship of convenience. The instant after the bombing they would be condemning us again.

It is permissible to lie to the infidel during jihad. Especially when they will kill the Shia.

"Without question, we need to disarm Ahmadinejad. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction... So the threat of Ahmadinejad with weapons of mass
destruction is real..."

- Sen. John F. Kerry

Iranian Shia are a threat to all neighboring Sunni countries, not just little and large Satan.
Time for some serious target practice in Iran.

How does the issuance of a paper by a guy name CHRISTIAN Koch become the voice of the Gulf States all of whom are Moslem?

I wonder if J F** Kerry and Joe Biden have had a discussion on the topic of what to do about Iran....?

Senators to Bush: Stay out of Iran

*********************************EXCERPT ******************************8

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush's warnings to Iran and Syria to not interfere in Iraq and the arrest of six Iranians in Iraq by U.S. troops raised eyebrows Thursday on Capitol Hill, where senators warned Bush against widening the nearly four-year-old war.

Sen. Joseph Biden, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, warned Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that Bush did not have the authority to send U.S. troops on cross-border raids.

nothing wrong with that, it is realpolitik, and the way countries behave (the only way they can if they want to survive.) Countries don't have friends, period.

From Google search...good get on this guy: "Mr. (Nicholas) Burn's....influence is also seen in the Bush administration's close relationship with Saudi Arabia and the deference with which it treats Yasser Arafat's longtime sidekick, Mahmoud Abbas. Mr. Burns has impeccable credentials for a Kerry administration official. He studied in France, earning the Certificat Pratique de Langue Francaise from the Sorbonne, and speaks French, Arabic, and Greek. He did a stint as spokesman for President Clinton's first-term secretary of state, Warren Christopher, where his service included criticizing Mayor Giuliani for kicking Yasser Arafat out of a concert at Lincoln Center, saying that Mr. Arafat deserved to be treated with "respect, dignity, and hospitality." Mr. Holbrooke's praises of Mr. Burns as being among a group of diplomats who are "centrists" and "non-ideological" are no doubt spot on. He's just not what the American people voted for, and when Mr. Bush returns from his gallivanting overseas the best thing he can do to redeem his commitment to voters is to do something about it.

ARE you sh*tin' me with that quote? Tell me that John F'in Kerry was holding court after a Terrrazah festival of gin-soaked raisins when he spewed that jewel?

He made that statement last April Fools' Day didn't he?

(shaking head, I don't believe it...lol)

It appears that the Arab Gulf States have more sense then the Dems when it comes to stopping Iran.

Wouldn't take much sense to out-sense the Democrat party.

The events in Iraq are being upstaged. The gang war in Baghdad is about to be replaced by a real war.

We will take on Syria, Iran, Venezuela and Cuba.

Israel will get a free Lebanon and crippled Syria. The Gulf States will get a free Iraq member and a crippled Iran.

Venezuela will get a new leader and Miami will get Cuba.
