#1 Iran is quietly building a stockpile of thousands of high-tech small arms and other military equipment â from armor-piercing snipers' rifles to night-vision goggles â through legal weapons deals and a U.N. anti-drug program, according to an internal U.N. document, arms dealers and Western diplomats.

This might sound harsh, but any drug problem in Iran is simply not worth Western involvement if any provided materials/equipment can be used for purposes other than combatting drug-running. And as long as the mullahs are still running the show, there is no question that some equipment is going to be used for something else other than its intended application.

#2 Iraq = Iran = North Korea = .... rogues in all preparing for preplanned guerilla.people's war against any US or US-led invasion. The collusory Failed/International Lefts want America's volunteer army to become bogged down in PC, LeftMedia-verified global "Quagmires" while MACKINDER'S WORLD iSLAND, AKA COMMUNIST ASIA, I.E. RUSSIA-CHINA, BUILD UP TO ATTACK NORAM DIRECTLY, and of course simul with the Clintons running for POTUS. By the time Chelsea runs for POTUS, America is intended to be either under anti-sovereign Socialism and OWG, read Commie World Order, or else militarily destroyed.Left- Alleged American"imperialism", like Radical Islam, is just PC diversion for the Commmies to gather the world community as cannon fodder for their "final struggle/conflict" against America and Western democracy, A Nation is not enough - the Failed/Angry Left wants Nations, Regions, TransNations, and Worlds, ...Universes just to counter American and Western firepower and influence. If America does not appease these anti-democractic nations and goivernments with myriad global concesssions, they will attack and destroy us - what do you expect of medieval Bandit- and Slaver armies, Predators, and Warlords!? Dubya and GMD > King's Army or the local Sheriff/Marshal - these Lefties may want you to think they're ROBIN HOOD, but they're NOT! We may have to fight Radical Islam, World Terror,Iran and North KOrea, etal. BUT THE REAL TARGET, THE BATTLEFRONT/BATTLEFIELD IS AMERICA ITSELF, AND CONTROL OF WASHINGTON - the Left is so Power-obsessed and DIalectically POliticized they prefer to enslave if not destroy the entire world, and prefer SOLYENT GREEN, i.e LEGAL PC CANNIBALISM/GENOCIDE, than to lose or share power, than the very Utopia they proclaim to be fighting for!?

#6 But have you seen "Alien vs. Predator?" It all makes sense to me!

But I could really use a good, stout, German beer right now too. ;)

#7 If I were 40 years younger I'd start a Bavarian Beer Brewery in the U.S.

#8 I've thought about it... my homebrew is going pretty well, but I need a bigger kitchen. The local microbreweries are very popular, but they can hardly keep up with the demand. The been you get there is so green you get a hangover *immediately* after having your second beer.
