#1 "I never thought the Americans would be so unmerciful."

No, no, no, Mr. Ehab. We're just doing a little nation building here. Merciless is Plan B. You don't wanna see Plan B.

#2 Actually, I think "nation building" -- bringing civilization where it wasn't before -- is part of Plan B, too. Ask the Japanese and Germans how it was to be on the receiving end of Plan B before the "nation building" began.

#3 I'm sure the countdown for the invasion of Syria is well-advanced. After that, it's turning south toward the source of all the money, Saudi Arabia. Once the money's dried up, we can start "negotiating" with Iran. My favorite negotiating tool is 300kt nukes at 700 miles.

#4 Old Patriot,
I think you have mastered the basics of negotiating with Arabs (even though, strictly speaking, Iranians are not true Arabs).
BIG STICK... tiny carrot

#5 Oh REALLY, I feel sooooo bad for them. Can't take a play out of the Kerry campaign playbook and have it both ways. Asshats!

Should've backed the Pitbulls, instead you backed the chickens.
