#1 Yep, uhhuh, right. You want to see talk that people will pay attention too. Start low level notices to foreign governments with embassies in Tehran, that our government will not be responsible for their safety if they choose to remain there. Then watch the action.

#2 Remember Granada and Panama? The White House wasn't saying much, then President Reagan gave a brief clarifying speech, while US troops were doing the rest.

#3 So what does this mean?
a) I have a nuke and just dying to use it
b) I'm pretending I have a nuke and if Israel backs off I will claim victory
c) This kind of rhetoric worked for Saddam, didn't it?

#4 Just cross fingers, everybody, that we have a very dense, layered anti-missile shield around Iran and Syria.

#5 Otherwise Iran will be even more isolated.

#7 It's time for Israel to give the people of Iran a 48 hour notice that they can either overthrow their insane government or they can be the second country to experience nuclear war on their territory. 48 hours, and if the world doesn't see Iranians tearing Ahmedinejad and the Pasdaran limb from limb with their bare hands, Israel can legitimately assume the Iranian populace supports them--and can suffer the consequences right along with them. It's nut-cutting time now, and the mad mullahs need to be vaporized along with any who are in their vicinity. Sympathy for the Iranians? Just as much as I have for the Lebs. Both countries elected the bastards who put them in these situations. They can now reap the rewards.
