He's probably keeping a jug handy, too. Bourbon 120 prf or whatever the muzzie drinks. Plus m.j.

Here's an awful thought, as if we didn't have enough: suppose this chatter about nukes, emp, missiles etc. was a cover for a different kind of attack right here at home? Bio, in various cities? (Hard to bring off AFAIK) Knocking out communications with civil disturbances, food/drink contaminations and on & on--all this simultaneous. Resulting chaos from these would be enough for the Diktator O to set Martial Law in place. Sure I'm locked & loaded so are my kids and the rest of us who have a grain of sense. But ....I'm going to shut up now. But why in all these years, have our leaders let this fester and grow? These 7thCentury devils should have been erased (as in HIT) years ago.

Thank you both for your posts. I’m waitin’ and watchin’ with you. It’s hard to believe that there isn’t a live thread for this potentially world changing event, or threat. God be with the Iranian opposition.

I’ve pondered that “punch” and it just doesn’t make sense to me that a punch to the West would be Nutjob killing thousands of Iranians. I’m certainly not an expert, but that threat to the West seemed to me a lot more threatening and personal, if you will.

It’s kind of odd to me that there doesn’t seem to be much interest here. I guess I expected several hundred posts by now as we wait and watch what Iran is going to do.

ePersian radio is broadcasting a live feed of greens chanting, apparently in Azadi sq!

I heard it. It was amazing. They are really yelling. There are a LOT of them yelling, not just a small crowd. Very hopeful.
