#2 and August 22 creeps closer and closer. All the toy soldiers of Allah nearly in place and all the MSM and western sentiment urging them on.

Who's bang and who's whimper?

#3 Almost all of the analysis and opinion I've read, all of the dire assessments and future terror scenarios ladled out, require the continued existence of the regime in Iran.

Hezbollah, Syria, et al - and there are likely tens if not hundreds of small unknown groups of fodder running around playing holy jihadi - all depend upon Iranian money, terror networks, state documents, and military assistance. Remove any of these essential assets and it all breaks down.

Without Iran, it basically dries up leaving only scattered cells of losers. Hezbollah, Syria, independent jihadis - they'd implode to a tiny fraction of their current numbers. And nukes wielded by Mad Mullahs? - down the well with their other dreams and myths. Shia ascendancy - dead.

It's as plain as can be. The Iranian regime must be destroyed and their remnant of empire dismantled into its constituent parts.

1500 aim points.

#4 Flyover, yea, that is clear. The question is who will do it?

#5 If that's clear, then why isn't the answer to your question equally clear?

The 1500 aim points were carefully collected by Pentagon planners, according to Gen McInerney. It wasn't idle activity, it was one of several war plans for Iran.

We, i.e. Bush, will have to do it. Who else?

#6 Don't forget the Saudi-Paki nexus. The plane bombing plot didn't involve any Shiites.

#7 There's no question who will do it, the only question is when?.

As for the Soddies, their turn will come...

excerpt:
Bernadette warns that a new, big war could break out at the turn of the Millennium. On the eve of the year 2000 a final clash between the followers of Mohammed and the Christian nations will happen. In a horrible battle, 5.650.451 soldiers will loose their life and a bomb with great impact will be thrown onto a city in Persia.

If the original text indeed says thrown onto, it would be a remarkable prediction; only since World War 2, bombs were thrown on cities. Air raids were completely unknown in Bernadette´s time. The great number of casualties leaves no doubt that she referred to a Nuclear bomb.

#11 In all seriousness in regards to the Cedar Revolution,

Good Christ...

I weep for not seeing what was right before my eyes...

So many opportunities lost are staring us in the face in such a stark manner today. We have screwed up royally and now we have to reap the whirlwind of the seeds that we have allowed to be sowed.

Brace yourselves, my friends...the days ahead I fear will be trying indeed...
