Iran Refutes

No bias? Iran didn't refute anything, Iran claimed that what Cheney said was not true.

It sounds like Iran is suggesting that we agree to terms of surrender. I'm sure, and he is sure, that the Dems are willing to comply.

Looks like Iran and the Democrats will use the "cost to taxpayers" trick.

Did Iran release these comments in coordination with the DNC?
Same message, different source, all enemies of the USA.

We have had 4 years to replenish our aerial arsenal it's just that in Iran's case we shouldn't rebuild them after we destroy them.

I'd tell them one was a democrat and one was a republican but they both understood the calculus of survival.

Once a generation the US should take one of these countries, like Iran, and utterly destroy them until there is no structure bigger than a baseball just as a reminder. If you are a peaceful country history shows that as a nation we can be good partners. We need to remind the ones that aren't why they should be.

The weapons needed to put an end to all this are already bought and paid for.They presently sit in the launch tubes of Ohio class submarines.

Our military is not in position? Oh, right. Our forces are way over Afghanistan and Iraq. And, we just moved two carrier groups way over to the Persian Gulf.

All this, plus our soldiers are preoccupied dealing with the threats form Iranian backed insurgents.

So, we have neither the position, nor the motive to attack Iran.

(Stick around for the show folks... Fireworks to follow.)

The Iranians do not understand the electoral process. President Bush does not have to run for reelection.
