#2 Not that declaring he'd nuke Israel the instant he had the means was insufficient, but this pretty much closes the book on Rafsanjani: he's simply insane. None of this makes any freakin' sense whatsoever. Thus it is perfect for PakiWaki & Arab consumption, of course.

#3 But influential former Iranian president Akbar Hasemi Rafsanjani warned that Washington may not accept Iraq becoming a country that is âfree and independent and that does not stand next to America and Israel.â

That doesn't matter. We removed a potential threat, set the Iraqis free from tyranny, and started them on their way to whatever awaits them, the only desire being that they not be a member of Terrorists Inc. That's all.

If Rafsanjani isn't careful, he might find himself the next one in the crosshairs.

#5 "Rafsanjani said the United States 'could either rig the results of the elections,' or otherwise stage a coup dâetat..."
After all, that's what he would do.

#6 Boyo! What are the arabs going to say now? We have once again defied the sentiment of the UN and Europe and went ahead with successful and relatively calm Elections. Again the US has done the right thing in contrast to the views of the rest of the World. How can the arab press be critical of a process they long to have in their own countries? Mullah Ras is tinkling in his turban over the fact the success next door could happen at home and so is Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan etc. etc. My father told me Bush was a dreamer and a visionary - I didn't see it now it's glaringly apparent.
