#2 IRAN'S influential former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani says the Islamic republic's Gulf neighbours will not support any United States assault on his country over its nuclear program.

"We are certain that Gulf countries will not back the United States in waging an attack on Iran," Mr Rafsanjani said on the second day of a visit to Kuwait aimed at allaying fears in the region over Iran's nuclear activities.

"Or else" he muttered off-camera.

#4 The one BIG mistake that Rumsfeld and Bush made in dealing with Iraq was NOT using an ARCLIGHT strike on Tikrit. It would have sent so many useful messages to so many people. I would have preferred a 30-ship cell, pickling at 1/2-second intervals in a 6-wide front, with waves 5 minutes apart. We wouldn't be having any problems with the Sunnis, Iran, Syria, or Saudi Arabia after that. Nor would we have any problem with Tikrit - it would have ceased to exist, both politically and physically.
