| #28 I must have missed the part where the British did anything attention worthy. Then you have missed the way the Scots Tony and George have destroyed the United Kingdom and "the Special Relationship." Britain is no longer a dependable ally but just another part of the EU. The only hope is a struggle for English independence, but there seems to be little chance of that. So America's attention should turn to that part of the world where the future lies and where it can find more dependable allies, the Pacific. |

| #25 "Bomb Qom" I think "Boom Qom" has a nice alliterative ring to it. |

| #24 New York Sun reports Achmadinutjob is coming to New York for a September 24 U.N. appearance. A protest is planned. Sure wish I could be there. I'd like to carry a big, old sign on the route of his motorcade that says "Bomb Qom". |

| #23 Debka's article on Iran's 600 missile comment said this regarding the Syria attack: According to US media, the Syrian missiles destroyed carried nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. Does than mean the 600 Iranian missiles are similarly equipped |

| #22 Having the French lead the war chants gives the action a diplomatic fig leaf. That's all. As usual, any real work will be done with US muscle. |

| #18 Don't mistake a change in French policy toward Iran and Islam as implying any change in its attitude toward the US. France does not have an attitude. Its ledadership has and this attitude changes when leaders change. It happens that Sarkozy (remember its ties to East Europe?) does not share the Louis XIV complex (ie dream of ruling teh world) of his predecesoors who led to confrontattion with the United States and still less Chirac's hate. Now you would be right in pointing that France is no long term ally since genarations of French minds have been poisoned towards antiamerricanism so it is highly likely that Sarkozy's successor will be hostile again. But please stop bashing France and a pay bit more attention to the British. |

| #16 I'd really really like to believe that with Sarkozy things have fundamentally changed in France towards the US and NATO. Don't mistake a change in French policy toward Iran and Islam as implying any change in its attitude toward the US. That we hay have a common enemy may make us appear to be temporary and tactical allies, but we are still permanent enemies. Have been since 1789. It won't change any time soon. See yesterday's Microsoft ruling by the EU (France's stooge front). |

| #15 Though it would be hilarious if after decades of dicking around from Reagan and Thatcher on down to the present day and if after a variety of bloodcurdling threats if it was the French and not, say, the Israelis who fixed the problem. I wonder how you say WTF? in Farsi... |

| #14 The top level has changed. I don't know how much the entrenched bureaucracy will go along with the change. Look at our own CIA and State Dept. Theirs may be doing to the same kind of back-stabbing. |

| #12 Iran is always in a state of anger. Must be the turbans are too tight and the religion too binding. |

| #11 Or pre-empting them for the glory of it all? Sigh. I'd really really like to believe that with Sarkozy things have fundamentally changed in France towards the US and NATO. But I don't. And won't without a lot more evidence. |

| #10 I sure hope that if France comes to the a$$-kickin' party that they coordinate with the other players for maximum effect. I would hate to have their stuff going off and neutralizing any surprises anyone else might have planned. |

| #6 ISRAEL > FORMER MOSSAD CHIEF > ONLY FORCE/MILITARY INTERVENTION CAN STOP IRAN FROM HAVING NUCLEAR WEAPONS. *IRAN > US, ISRAELI FLAGS TRAMPLED - used as doormats in Tehran. |

| #1 More for Tehran to be angry about. Kim Willsher in Paris Friday February 10, 2006 The Guardian France has secretly modified its nuclear arsenal to increase the strike range and accuracy of its weapons. The move comes weeks after President Jacques Chirac warned that states which threatened the country could face the "ultimate warning" of a nuclear retaliation. A military source quoted yesterday by the Libération newspaper claimed France had tinkered with its nuclear weapons to improve their strike capability and make this threat more credible. The source said there had been two major changes: the bombs can now be fired at high altitude to create an "electromagnetic impulsion" to destroy the enemy's computer and communications systems; and the number of nuclear warheads has been reduced to increase the missiles' range and precision. http://www.guardian.co.uk/france/story/0,,1706776,00.html |
