File under: Govt of Iran

#1 I wonder who would be supplying Iranian militants with things like EFPs if the US went in for round 2.

#3 Burns is showing his true colors. I wonder if Manhattan DA Morgenthau's testimony to Congress yesterday will get their attention. He has uncovered a "stripping" scheme for Iranian banks to hide transactions using British and US banks and told them they have seriously underestimated Iran's "deadly serious" threat to the US. Also indicted a Chinese businessman for supplying dual use tech for their nuclear program. He has jurisdiction because as long as the dollar remains the standard currency, all transactions pass through NY. Probably why they all want to move to a global currency, btw.

#4 "We're going to stop fighting you, so you have to stop fighting us! Ow! Quit hitting us! Ow! Ow! Can't you see I'm not fighting...Ow! Cut it out! Ow! Hey, no fair! Ow! Stop doing that...Ow! Hey, we're offering to stop...Ow! C'mon, pretty please? Ow! Ow! Ow!," etc., ad nauseum.

Luser, Rinse and Repeat.

#6 Burns rejected the notion of a military attack on Iran, saying that Washington has learned the hard way that war has "unintended consequences".

Instapundit now advises Israel to go rogue, as under President Obama the U.S. is more generous to enemies than allies. Others now suggest Israel inform of decisions being acted upon, rather than ask permission.

#8 saying that Washington has learned the hard way that war has "unintended consequences".

At least to the Democrats there is the "unintended consequences" -- like winning.

#10 It's very difficult to know what fits into President Obama's evolving world-view, Paul2.
