#1 I'm tempted to get my hopes up when I see an Iranian official go into bellicose mode like this -- are we really finding some chains to pull that have the mullahs sweating? -- but then I usually just chalk it up to routine Iranian unhinged truculence .....

#2 I don't think anything is yet going down via Iran. No facts, just intuition. But I think Iran is feeling paranoid. Like a criminal does. A snake slithers to a hiden place. Tastes the air.

#3 But, oh yeah, Thought about this all day. Russia should tell Iran, if the kids go, you go! See what kind of thingy that makes.

The perps could care less about themselves. They're dead. But they may have some sort of an associations. Make Iran that!

#5 Like Saddam Iran is a prolific sponsor of terror. It is in fear of it's existance with Afganistan on one side and Iraq on the other gone as buffers. If it comes down to it Turkey will go with the US as it doesn't need Iran for anything. I say make them sweat say stupid things and do stupid things. Between the Saudi princes and Iran they got the islamic terror market cornered.

#6 As far as I know Iran does not play any major role in the Chechen insurgency. The outside support mostly comes from the nexus of Saudi Arabia, other Gulf Emirates, and Jordan

#7 Intelligence Minister Ali Yunessi also warned the United States of an Iranian response to any attempt by it to destabilise the country, Iranâs State News Agency (IRNA) reported.

Big Allan spiders coming our way, eh? Does anyone have video of a really big spider (a'la Godzilla) attacking NYC?...look for it on Al-Jiz.

"The region is not safer than what it was before September 11. The Americans got rid of Saddam Hussein and the Taliban, but have expanded insecurity in the world. One of the aims of the US ... is Iran," he added.

Well, in an ironic way, he's right...it's not safer for IRAN! BTW, could someone get him to call the Demos and let them know also that Iran is next in our sights? They don't seem to realize it, ironically, like he does.

#9 BA, The Democrats are actually courting Iran to the extent one would think Iran had electorial votes comparable to Florida.

Iran's Mehr News Agency reports it has received an e-mail from the presidential campaign of Sen. John Kerry pitching the candidate as one who will "repair the damage done" to international relations by President Bush.

INSIGHTMAG 3/01/04 The Democratic Party's presidential front-runner, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), has pledged that if elected he will abandon the president's war on terror, begin a dialogue with terrorist regimes and apologize for three-and-one-half years of mistakes by the Bush administration http://www.insightmag.com/news/2004/03/16/Politics/Kerry.Will.Abandon.War.On.Terrorism-621288.shtml
Doesn't square with what sKerry told the Legionaires in Nashville yesterday does it?

#10 GK: No it doesn't square with what he told the AL in Nashville...of course, you probably are as SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell ya' that he "flip-flopped" on that too! And don't forget pretty boy Edwards saying that they'd allow Iran to keep the nuke plants, as long as they don't keep the rods/fuel to make bombs! Just like Clinton's (via Jimma Carter...sadly from my home state...compare him with Zell and you see the REAL GA) deal with the Norks, the mad mullahs will break any deal they make. The point I ALWAYS make re: Iran & nuke plants is this: they are sitting on some of the world's LARGEST oil reserves. Anyone who thinks they need nuclear plants for energy is either stupid or the most naive person i've met!

#11 Paul is one of those that follows the threads. I think he knows more than most here. But I still think that you "one up" on these assholes.
