File under: Govt of Iran

#1 Important note: There are two ways they could approach Iran in this way, taking the fight to Tehran and the leaders; or destabilizing the minority regions.

If they are concentrating on the minority lands, then perhaps it is a signal of our intent to partition Iran.

#2 The US government is hardly going to support the MeK. They would be more likely to support unions. The Ayatollahs routinely use Basij Nazis to break strikes. Iranians resent the millions that the clerics have taken in sweetheart contracts with family firms. The current regime has no future.

#3 Iff Radical Islam = Iran is indeed on a drive 2008-2012/13 to procure strategic weapons + strategic retaliatory capabilities, to include ISLAMIST = PERSO-ASIAN EMPIRE/BLOC IN CENTRAL ASIA, THEN TO PRECLUDE NUCLEAR TERROR + NUCLEAR IRAN DUBYA-US WILL HAVE TO EITHER INVADE OR INDUCE REGIME CHANGE REGARDLESS OF GEOPOL CONSEQUENCES, i.e. REGARDLESS OF ANY POTENTIAL = RISK OF "GREAT POWERS" CONFRONTATION OVER US ACTIONS.

*Iran + OSAMA + Islamists know it, as does RUSSIA-CHINA, etc.

AND, lest we fergit, Radical Islamism's + Iran's drive for strategic capablities is PC SEPARATE UNIQUE OR EXCLUSIVE FROM RUSSIA-CHINA'S "WAR NOT ONLY POSSIBLE BUT DESIRED" ANTI-US WAR 2014 - 2018 [NLT 2022].

Again, the MOST DANGEROUS PHASE-PERIOD of this WOT nominally lies ahead of us, NOT behind us.

#8 "Six weeks ago, President Bush signed a secret finding"

... and then immediately telephoned Andrew with the news so he would get the exclusive scoop ahead of everyone else.

"Petraeus has made little effort to seal the Iran-Iraq border"

... so as to enable Iran to kill more of the soldiers in his charge which will act to enrage the American people who will then allow him to fulfill his megalomaniacal dream of a much larger slaughter. .... riiiiiiiiiight

#10 As I understand it, his name is pronounced "coe burn". Or at least that is how people with that name would like it pronounced.

#11 yeah, and I'd like my last name to be pronounced as "he's extremely hung". My ex-partners beg to differ

#12 IRANIAN.WS > THE FIRST IRANIAN SATRAPS [Provinces]. Articles describes Persian Histry, but which I deemed as indir appropriate given the brouhaha now going on in Beruit, and given that artic should rightly had been titled or denoted as "PERSIAN" SATRAPS, NOT IRANIAN AS IRAN WAS PERSIA IN THE ARTIC'S OWN TIME FRAME OF HISTOIRE'.
