LOL!
Preparing began a while ago.
"In war, truth is the first casualty"
Aeschylus
We’re trusting the word of a anti- US man named Mohommad.
This really is Jimmy Carter Part II.
Total fools are running our government.
I know. I was commenting on commenting about Condi's commenting.
Actually I was corroborating you, but now I’ve a question.
You said, “And, as another benefit, saying that we are not
getting ready for “war” might spur a little more anxiety
among the Iranian students’ movement, leading them to think
that their inaction may not be productive.”
Why do that? Every delay hurts them.
Every taunt has hurt them. Key locations in
Iran should have been whacked yesterday for many reasons.
I certainly hope that is disinformation.
It’s not. Iranian engineers have also been in N. Korea for tests.
Yes, that's the way I took it.
Why do that? Every delay hurts them. Every taunt has hurt them.
Here, I am not sure if we are talking about the same thing.
Some people, like Michael Ledeen, believe that Iranian students' movement can somehow overthrow or bring down the mullahs' regime, given our (unspecified) support. I don't subscribe to his view, because I believe it would have happened by now. But it seems to me that they could be more helpful or more proactive if they don't think they can rely on us to do it... or, entirely contrary to that, if they could expect that our (or Israel's) delayed military reaction could prove too destructive. So this may just be another hint, incentive for them to become more active (even if in clandestine sense).

Secretary Rice said before that she would not negotiate with the Iranian leadership, unless Iran stopped its nuclear development. Recently, she negotiated with Iranians in Baghdad...

You still have a plan.
You always have a plan.
I used to like Dr. Rice.
And then she joined State Dept.
I think that Condi Rice is a very intelligent, gracious, attractive lady. She would have made a good VEEP for someone but her undying loyalty to the disappointing failure, Dubya, has tainted her prospects for any further involvement in politics after Jorge leaves office.
I think Secretaries Rice and Gates are well-informed and have the US’s best interests in mind.
I’m relieved at the news.
Thanks Cindy. Here’s another one.
