Ugh. I had heard a report that Iran is expert at hiding facilities deep underground and that the US and the Israelis are very concerned.

Another strike like the one in Iraq in 1981 may be in the offing.

If they can find the targets.

This is further proof that the UN is nothing but a paper tiger when it comes to settling dangerous world matters. The UN and the EU are as useless as.........(you know the rest).

The mullahs continue to behave in an utterly demented fashion.

I cannot imagine what advantage they find in these last few months of behavior, or to what audience they think they are playing to.

DUH! If "diplomatic efforts" and the "involvement
of allies" fail, guess what comes next!?

And no, it won't be a single, 12-plane raid.
Can you say "Surround & Pound"? I knew
you could.

Which of the words "Surround & Pound"
don't these idiots understand?

Iran says it will not use the centrifuges to enrich uranium --

We all know that they just need these to use as cream separators in their version of the "Baby Milk Factory."

The closer Iran gets to building a nuclear device the closer they come to their own destruction.

Here we have people who dont know when they are well off.

Fine, let Iran make it's bogus deals with the perpetual appeasers in the EU and UN.

The US should then in turn up it's support for the Iranian pro-Democracy movement and thus get new, rational Iranian leadership to deal with.

And if Iran continues it's support for terrorists, ALL bets are off. The US military will attack Iranian military hold-outs at the same time the pro-Democracy movement siezes power internally.

What happened to all the students who were starting to protest their own government in Iran? For a while there I thought we were banking on a popular uprising against them.

Good thing we have the EU on the case! If it wasn't for them, this might be a real problem. :^P

Someone wake me when we finally take Iran out behind the woodshed and beat them like a redheaded stepchild.

Those mullahs need to be rode hard and put away wet.

They got no meaningful support and were left to die on the vine...just like the pro-Democracy students in China were betrayed in 1989.

The problem with relying on any type of internal resistance is sorting out the real ones from the intelligence folks -- and many of the loudest ones are agents provocateurs. We don't have time to engage is such a time-consuming endeavor -- Iran will very soon have the bomb, and even if there were a significant real resistance, counting on it alone would be unwise. Rebellions are uncertain endeavors, at best, and we just don't have time to see how one might play out in Iran.

OK, ... U.S. will be exaggerating the aggreement so as not to get into an argument with the "e-3" (fr, gb, germany) for dropping the ball; Iran is downplaying it for the folks at home but...

why is iran being so vocal in its bragging, or, to quote #3,

Iran is looking for a beatin'

100 years from now everyone and his brother will have nuclear weapons. Kinda boggles the mind.

The first bomb Iran will drop will be on Israel, and then the western media will blame Bush, Israel etc, so on. Ie. "Naw, those Mullahs would never do a thing like that!"
