Iran has been in a defacto state of war with us since 1979, by their own admission. As Steven Emerson and others have documented, there are already Hezbollah cells here in America…If Iranis successful in acquiring nuclear weapons, do anyof you have any doubts that Iran will pass nukes on to them as soon as they’re able?

As for AQ `slapping Iran around’…why would they do that when Iran is allowing al Qaeda functionaries like Imad Mugniyeh free range of the country and helping supply them and the Taliban with arms and IEDs to use in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Feel free to ostrich out as much as you like. That’s pretty much what president Bush, with his lips firmly glued to the posterior of the Saudis and the wahabist institutions in America wants.

But war IS coming, whether you want to acknowledge it or not. And right now, Iran would be fairly easy to stop.

We’re not `at war with al-Qaeda’. They were always just subcontractors and shock troops to use against the West. The real game involves confronting, one way or another,the nation-states that fund, harbor and support jihad against the west.

Just because we got sidetracked into Iraq to protect the Saudis doesn’t change that reality.

What I like about Giuliani’s team is that it’s filled with people that appear to understand exactly the type of war we’re in.

Like your freedom? Be prepared to fight for it.

Sooooo, I see no solutions mentioned here. Prehaps one of you would like to go over and have a chat with whats-his-name of Iran?

Personally, I’d rather a fat little EMP exploded over Iran, that would set them back a few decades. Probably wouldn’t kill anyone (other than the odd vehicular accident.) And they’d be where they want to be, in the 3rd Century. Presto! Poof! ya ha allah and allathatshit.

Getting even crazier isn’t it? If AQ goes after Iran what does Bush do then?

Um, the fact that not a single assertion in it is supported by anything even remotely resembling logic, reason, or fact? That it’s nothing but wild speculation? That it ignores the consequences of an attack? That it ignores the history of the past four years? That it overstates Ahmadinejad’s authority and ignores his problems? That’ll do for a start.

Poor, lazy Kilo.

Go back to the Alexander thread. Your loopy reasoning has been highlighted for all to see.

Just what we need, another freaking idiot being led by another freaking idiot.

Gee I can’t help but wonder if this will encourage more people here to vote for Rudy next year.

Because, you know, zero people would have yesterday so the only real point must be to improve than number.

Meanwhile the policies of the Democrat candidates take a back seat to everything right-wing. I guess your readers will have to go to a right-wing blog to hear about those and make a decision about who they should vote for.

I wish you a speedy recovery from your current state of mental illness.

May God bless you.

Satan has your seat reserved.

And don’t forget……Rudee has better legs and looks better in a dress than Hill, so that might be worth 20% of the trolls votes.

I read it and Poddy comes out as a bit coocoo. There are no arguments, because the antecendents are wrong. It starts off with “We are in World War 4, PHEAR!11!!” and it does not get better.

Some examples:

- Norm thinks that Ahmadinejad has some kind of real power in Iran?
- Norm thinks that the citiation of “wipe Israel off the map (with nukes)” is actually correct?
- Norm thinks that Reagan and “dissidents behind the Iron Curtain” won “World War 3″?
- Norm thinks that “Finlandization” is somehow relevant to Middle East politics?
- Norm thinks that it is 100% clear that Iran is capable of acquiring nuclear weapons, make them work, be able to make them small enough to put on ballistic missiles (still to be developed) in a resonable timeframe? Cite: ” In early April, at Iran’s Nuclear Day festivities, Ahmadinejad announced that the point of no return in the nuclearization process had been reached. If this is true, it means that Iran is only a small step away from producing nuclear weapons.” He must be smoking something fierce.
- Norm thinks that Iran acquiring nuclear weapons is such a clear and present danger that “kill them now instead of kill them later and damn the consequences” is somehow a good idea?
- Norm thinks that ignoring the nulcear tipped elephant in the room – Israel – is appropriate?
- Norm paints Iran as the big soon-to-ownZor-everyone bully while ignoring generally terror-powered but otherwise reasonable behaviour over the last 50 years? (unlike terror-powered unreasonable behaviour of other nations…cough)
- Norm does not give any reasonable timeframe of development of nukes, cost/benefit analysis of attacking, risk analysis or anything? Just vague fearmongering? Norm is channeling the Führerbunker!
- Norm has not learned ANYTHING from the mess in Iraq (and Iraq did not even have tradition of sponsoring terrorism, unlike Iran)? Norm does not introspect? Norm does not reflect?
