What is Iran Planning for Thursday (ledeen) |
2010-02-10 |
Khamenei, whose public statements should be taken seriously, is promising some sort of devastating "punch" against the West on Thursday the 11th...Some think he's preparing some kind of attack against Israel...The other obvious possibility is that he's ordered a massive, Chinese-style crackdown on the opposition... or they might announce they have a new weapon or that they have discovered a domestic source of Uranium or that he is going to host a late night comedy/variety show to compete with Leno beginning Mar 1 |

#15 Joking aside, I think Den Beste is betting on the wrong horse. If they have a nuclear test, the planes will be striking within 48 hours. I don't believe even the mullahs are that stupid to have a test without others mated to an offensive launch system. |

#8 Does Steven Den Beste still do commentary/geopolitical blogging? Sadly, no. He quit due to health and idiotic feedback problems, though he does comment on blogs sporadically. He does still blog on anime here. |

#7 Does Steven Den Beste still do commentary/geopolitical blogging? His stuff on Walter Russell Mead and Jacksonian Democrats was very interesting back in the day. |
