#1 Dear Mr President:

I know you hate to be redundant, so excuse me if I point out that the "all cards are on the table" line was used before: during the run-up to Iraq.

Can't we say something different, like "eat some lead you stinkin' terists." Talk to Conan the Barbarian for some new lines.

#2 Why are the Iranians such comic-book villains? I mean, come on, chanting "Death to America!" is so... evil.

Captain America is going to HAVE to go and knock down their evil house before they get the power of the atom. Cap won't let us down.

#3 Aw common, lets nuke em. Ya know they'll never give up until we wipe em out, so what are we waiting for?
Besides, they deserve it for being uppity. What makes them think they can pull this shit all of a sudden, just because they have a few long range missiles? We have a few thousand rockets that make theirs look like bottle rockets.

#4 Strange, "W" bucking up in front of the Israeli media; Why didn't he want me to hear this fortitude on CNN or Fox? I don't want to be spoon fed baby food...throw me raw meat!!

#5 SMN

A couple points.

(1) W started pushing buttons on Iraq after he returned from his August vacation in 2002. His UN speech was in Sept '02

(2) The Israelis have got to be getting tense with the nuke seals being broken in Iran, so Bush is trying to convey a message of security

#7 In another development, top Iranian figure Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said Iran’s decision to resume sensitive nuclear work was “irreversible” and warned that Western opposition to Iran’s program will “cost them dearly.” During a Friday sermon, he said: “You could drag things on but Iran’s decision is irreversible,” drawing chants of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” from the faithful.

Let's get this show on the road. Faster, please...

#8 OK Captian America, how about this...

"Conan!, what is best in life?!"

"Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the women!"

I have this as my ringtone on my mobile :)

#9 You aren't real bright, are you smn? Or should I call you Butch, or perhaps Pat? To reveal my inner id slightly, I don't see this as a War On Terror, but a War Of Testicles! Remove the males "Herodize", remove the problem! The only female I even remotely hold responsible for these problems is Eve!

I think it would be safe to assume that "W" is aware that when he makes a very meaningful statement outside the US, that technology exists for it to be distributed worldwide. It's ok, don't feel bad, we understand your confusion. It's not like you have access to the internet or anything like that.

#13 Iran? I've been waiting 26 years for payback. Not holding my breath but then again, President Bush is a man of his words.

Still have that image of the remains -- a burnt foot to be graphic -- of a US soldier being held up to the cameras by a rag-headed Iranian mullah. He was killed during Carter's Operation Desert One in April 1980.

And then there's the October 23, 1983 massacre of 241 Marines in Lebanon.

The Grim Reaper has yet to collect on both those accounts.
