#1 WTF? IRAN is lecturing others about observing proper diplomatic protocol?

We have yet to properly settle the score for Tehran 1979-80.

My thoughts: Find a deep well, and drop them in, one at a time - to go search for the Mahdi (12th Imam).

#2 We haven't had diplomatic relations with the Mad Mullahs since April of 1980. The Swiss act as our representatives in Tehran.

My guess is that we screwed-up their watches when they were being waterboarded. Most watches are good up to 100 meters. Iranians were always good about keeping receipts and demanding warranty work.

#5 I can hear the Swiss now. "Yes, we have been in communication with the Americans about this matter. Their response was a bit undiplomatic. To, ummm, to quote directly, their reply was "Suck it, mullahs!"

#7 Interesting that this is being made public. If more Iranian involvement is highlighted with like press then we may be seeing the run-up to a confrontation with Iran.

Public displays of Iranian complicity in the murder of American soldiers cuts off diplomatic retreat on issues like nuke negotiations. We'll see if Iran blinks.
