"Your mother was a (Syrian) hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!"

Iran was given a fortnight to agree to freeze its uranium enrichment programme yesterday or face further international isolation.
After a day of inconclusive talks in Geneva, a six-nation negotiating team warned the Iranian delegation that it had run out of patience and demanded a 'yes or no' answer to a proposal it put forward five weeks ago.

I keep saying the same thing. Russia will not sit idly by while Iran is attacked!
However, no one seems to be listening.
Russia is the key here. If you really want to know our intentions towards Iran then watch Russia.
When she starts putting her troops on alert and moving them south, while tightening her borders you will know we are moving against Iran.
“When she starts putting her troops on alert and moving them south, while tightening her borders you will know we are moving against Iran.”
There should be no US move against Iran. Israel has plenty of her own resources for dealing with them...permanently.
If this meeting was what it appears to be...i expect the next step is Sanctions, followed by startegic blaockaides and internal operations leading up to an Iranian offensive move that kicks off the mother of all battles...post november.
Magical Michief and Deo, please take the time to read the above links and pass it on to others. The Soldiers of Chosen Co. deserve to get their story out for the world to know what happened July 13, 2008. That was the day when Al Qaeda/Taliban learned no matter where, no matter how outnumbered, Americans will never never give in, will never never give up. (On that day between 200-500 Al Qaeda/Taliban attacked a small FOB consisting of 45 Airborne Soldiers of the 173rd Airborne and 25 ANA. We lost 9 wonderful Soldiers and suffered 15 wounded.) Below is a snippet of the first hand account.
“Two hours after the first shots were fired, Stafford made his way — with help — to the medevac helicopter that arrived.
“It was some of the bravest stuff I’ve ever seen in my life, and I will never see it again because those guys,” Stafford said, then paused. “Normal humans wouldn’t do that. You’re not supposed to do that — getting up and firing back when everything around you is popping and whizzing and trees, branches coming down and sandbags exploding and RPGs coming in over your head … It was a fistfight then, and those guys held ’ em off.”
Stafford offered a guess as to why his fellow soldiers fought so hard.
“Just hardcoreness I guess,” he said. “Just guys kicking ass, basically. Just making sure that we look scary enough that you don’t want to come in and try to get us.”
God Bless each and every one of our Soldiers! For those we lost RIP.
Now, The Magical Mischief and Deo, what exactly were you saying about the price of gas (rhetorical question)? Iran is now THE HUB of terrorist activity in the world. They are about to go nuclear. And you are worried about the price of gas? Just wait until Iran tests its first nuclear device. Then what?
Every American should be demanding from their Congressman/Senators the right to use our own Natural Resources so that we, the people, are not beholden to outside forces during dark times. It is a shame that we here at home do not have the will to challenge our own government for our own resources. Instead we just sit around whine about the price of gas while good men are dying for us in far off lands. We should be ashamed.
Up goes oil on Monday...
And the largest ground campaign since 1991 and possibly World War II.
I don't think so. We need to test our weapons and systems against what is there and have some target practice. And the F-22 needs some real combat testing :)
We all still need today’s equivalent to the late former General George S. Patton, just like we all also still need today’s equivalent to the late former President Ronald Reagan! Sadly, I truly don’t see anybody out there that meets these requirements.
What a joke.
“And the F-22 needs some real combat testing :)”
We could always declare war on China, that would give us much more realistic weapons training rather than wasting it on two-bit third-world nations. Waste of money to deal with Iran. Let Israel take care of it.
It’s not the negotiators who are fools. It’s us, the president and the UN and everyone else who listened to the Iranians since 1979.
And, in the end, it will be left to a ONE NATION, that being the United States of America, to do the will of all these other coward nations who refuse to do their part. And, the left and liberals in the USA will then blame the mean ole US military and Bush for starting all this trouble, EVEN THOUGH this whining six nations wanted it done.
I'm thinking that's one major reason the GW will let the Israelis do the dirty work instead of US forces being directly involved. The only question is WHEN?

Ooohh, I bet that put the fear of God into those wascally Iranians. They probably had to go back to their their room and change their underpants.
They have been told this is your last meeting. We are not doing this again. Go back to Tehran and you have a week or two at most to give a yes or no,' one official said.
"And if you give us another no we're going to close our eyes and stamp our feet really, REALLY hard this time."
You gotta admit, those Euroweenies are some mighty tough customers when they get all riled up. They may even go so far as to cut off some tourist flights to Tehran if the Iranians start lobbing missiles at them.
Thanks for the ping to your great post and this interesting thread.
...and the snake pit in Saudi Arabia?
