#1 All that hot air and a couple of jolts of heroin won't help you against napalm, cluster munitions, and nukes, ass-hat. We won't be "nation-building" this time, just clearning the real estate for others to move in. "Keep ~~honking~~talking, I'm reloading" could well become our national mantra.

#2 Jazayeri said if Americans were made aware of the numerous US attempts to topple Iran's government and meddle in the country's internal affairs, they would demand their government to adopt new policies.

More effective ones.

#4 One of their leaders spoke of America having "200 points of vulnerability" that could be attacked at any time. Iran's biggest military assets are : American Muslims and the American media. Members of the latter are fanatic believers in the lie that jihad means: personal struggle. The former know the truth of Muslim jihad obligations to work until "allah alone" is worshipped by mankind. Those are huge assets.

#5 Well, now a days, Americans are all divided and the media is in a full court press to keep us that way, especially in the present farce called the Presidential Elections.

However, a real serious attack on our so-called f*cked up country by Iran or some proxies would unleash a counterattack so brutal that there would be nothing left of Gen. Jazayen's assets. Or his a$$. If he wants to fight us, he better stick to the thousand cuts routine if he expects a favorable outcome.

#6 I really don't think a cloud of vapor will make any noise a microphone can pickup.

#7 . . . a frail and shaky structure from a 'torn to shreds' America.

Our confetti machines are in disrepair? Who knew?

#8 I think what Gen. Jazayeri is saying is that 2/3 of the Ameican public is currently "against" the war in Iraq. He makes the assumption (reasonably) that an American attack on Iran would be even more divisive. Given what would happen to the price of oil, I think he might be right.

What Gen. Jazayeri fails to appreciate is that the USA will rebound from the ensuing economic storm (percipitated by war) within a decade of an attack on Iran by the USA. In contrast, by the middle of the 21st century Iran will look back and consider the 16th century to be the good old days.

Just saying....

#9 We've seen this picture before. Not very effective when dealing with this one. Do not mix the two. Very unstable.

#10 Two more points to be made:

(1) IIRC, at the outset of war for independence with GB, only about 1/3 of all colonists were on the side of liberty (pro war). The rest didn't want war and could've live with the status quo. Meaning 2/3's of the American public had to be pulled kicking and screaming to freedom. Not much has changed.

(2) Speaking of Iran, the lady models used to advertise the "iranian.com personals" here at RB are hot. I espcially like the one featured often where God sayeth: "I will give you a GREAT body and lovely face, but you'll need a nose job to be a 10." The men here know who I mean.....

#11 They need to realize one effect of their effrots in Iraq:

We have learned out lesson: We will not invade and reconstruct.

We will simply destroy their military and government in place, and leave them to sort the mess out while we seal the borders. And if we destroye civil infrastructure in the process, oh well, thems the breaks. Starve.

Hey Iran, if you ask really nicely, the Iraqis might lend you a hand rebuilding, and the Kurds will take over the north for you, and the Gulf States will settle and control the parts near Hormuz, and the Afghan government might help the areas on thier border. Oh, and the Shia sites will be well managed by Sistani and the Iraqi elders, who run Shia's most holy sites.

The central persian parts can go to hell, and most certainly will.

We are not interested in conquest at all, just destruction of the Islamist regime and its military lackeys. Once that's gone you're on your own in the 12th century whre you wanted to be. F**k You. The only blood shed will be Persian.

#14 NOSTRADAMUS [paraph] > None shall see the Powers of Asia destroyed until SEVEN = the SEVENTH holds the line.

DRUDGEREPORT today > BIBLICAL STONE[prior discovered] CAUSES STIR - TABLET IGNITES DEBATE ON MESSIAH AND RESURRECTION.

By one Pert's interpretation, TABLET > alludes to a possible historical figure named SIMON??? whom, as per the Historian JOSEPHUS, was killed by a Commander in the Herodian Army, and whom was intructed/commanded by the ArchAngel GABRIEL to wake up from death after three days.

* GUNS-N-ROSES "DON'T CRY" > JAMES, JOSEPH, + BATTLESHIPS OKLAHOMA/ARIZONA. She falls in love wid a dead man walking out of the sea.

#15 WAFF.com Thread > WILL MUSLIMS DOMINATE THE WORLD BY Year 2500? More and more...

However, as per TOPIX + WORLD NEWS, etc. > the ISLAMIST THREAT TO ASIA IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR LONG TIME = DECADES YET, and is already causing proto EMIGRATION WAVES + PRESSURE in SOUTH-SE ASIA + AUSTRALESIA/ASTRALONESIA as Emigres move to escape growing Islamist pressures in South Asia.
