#1 I can almost see, in the near future, an intense aerial attack on Iran followed in a few hours by W going on national TV to disclose the extent of the war Iran has been waging against us in Iraq and the necessity to strike immediately, along with some kind of ultimatum. An intense effort against terrorism in Iraq would also have been going on for some time. I saw JFK on TV when he announced the beginning of the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. This time the shooting is likely to start before a Presidential message.

#2 We will shortly learn ~~(what we suspected all along)~~ more about the documents we found accompanying the high-level Iranian terrorist leader we briefly arrested in Hakims compound in Baghdad some days ago,

...that was phueching subsequently released due to "diplo-immunity." Thank you US State Dept and mindless Klingons.

It seems that our misnamed Intelligence Community had grossly underestimated the sophistication and the enormity of the Iranian war campaign.

Klingon denial and harboring of intelligence again? How can this be? Sounds like we need to relieve some US Army generals and put a Klingon in charge of DoD, oh it's already been done? .......sorry.

#3 Considering that every rantburg type in America - without any access to Intel - already knew the Iranians were involved in Iraq, I sure as hell hope the Intel community and the Whitehouse have known about Iranian involvement for years. If not, lets level the CIA building and put a playground in its place. We might as well let kids pretend to be secret agent man. Its a helluva lot cheaper then paying adults to do it.

#4 If oil drops below $50/brl look for rioting in the streets of Tehran.

#5 If we owned the Saudi oil fields, we could drive the price of oil down to $10/bbl. Hint hint.

#6 Any documents alleged to have been captured with the Iranians that might implicate Iran as engaging in acts of war against the US were no doubt fabricated and planted by the evil Chimpy Bushitler and his Halliburton minions to build support for his planned illegal invasion of peaceful Iran.
See, anybody can be a Kos Kid; it's easy and fun, and takes no thinking at all!

#8 Michael remains my candidate for a Medal of Freedom. Few have been more persistent and forward leaning in terms of liberty for Iranians.

#9 This is just the sort of thing that Reagan would have taken personally. I hope Bush can get a call through to Pelosi and get her to come over to the oval office, open her purse, take out his balls and let him borrow them for a few days.

#10 The West has to stop allowing Iranian and Saudi support of terror mosques in our countries. For one thing, there is no quid pro quo. Those terror states allow neither inducement of conversion to the Mohammadan cult nor construction of facilities for other faiths.

I recall an instance where Bush41 was in Saudi Arabia during Thanksgiving. In order to celebrate the holiday, the President had to be flown to a US military ship. He returned to the terrorist entity the next day.

#11 How did we come to this? We're POWERLESS(unless you good folks know anything that I don't know)

Sure...I have a medium-sized home/perimeter protective device collection arsenal to protect my family.

BUT, I NEVER would have thought (until recently), that the "...Beacon of Democracy and Freedom..."; would ever have rolled over and played dead in the face of islamO-facist coc#suc#ers. Thanks U.S. State Dept., DOJ, MSM, ACLU, ABA, etc. I hope that you all rot in hell.
