#1 Good thing we have nothing at all to worry about from the Iranians for at least 10 years. I don't know about the rest of you but I'll sure sleep better at night after hearing about that new national intelligence estimate.

#3 They are threatening to send Iran the Belgian Army's much feared 1st hairdresser brigade.

Or worse still ask the security council for the dreaded strongly worded resolution.

Be afraid! be very afraid, Mad Mullahs!

#4 Belgian 1st hairdresser Brigade: aka 'The Big gay ones" (1) then there is the 101th: "Screaming scissors". That will make Mullahs shake in their boots.

(1) I don't know in America but in France the profession is reputed to have a high proportion of gays.

#7 Appears they're tone deaf.
Send a squadron of Tornadoes breaking the sound barrier at treetop down the middle of Ayatollah Khomeini Boulevard during morning rush hour. That might wake them up.
Because they're laughing at you right now...

#8 France, Britain and Germany hardened their tone toward Iran on Tuesday, warning that Tehran risked triggering an international crisis and could face U.N. sanctions if it follows through with a threat to resume its nuclear program.

Yep, the tone was "toughened". Juuuust a little, to be sure.

#14 the European Union was prepared to offer extensive economic incentives to Iran,

Um, I'm running a nuclear program too, in my backyard. It's for peaceful purposes, rest assured. I want to get off the grid and produce my own electricity. Honestly. Now, can I have some money from you guys? I'll take 1/100th of what you're offering those Iranian guys. Maybe even less if the negotiations don't go right. Ok, I'll settle for a brand new Softail Springer Classic. How about it?

#15 "This Iranian affair is very serious," said French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy. "It could be the beginning of a major international crisis."
