"The bombers are directed by the British. Britain is the main culprit behind the blasts. The British government offers financial and material support to these terrorists," he told The Associated Press.

Iran, as I understand it, has always had a thing about the British. They worry more about what England is up to than they worry about us.

The president had been expected to meet his Cabinet in the city on Tuesday but canceled the visit.

Chicken sh*t!

So the president cancels an appearance because of forecasted rain on the day of the explosions, and it takes the official news agency no time at all to blame the British for the bombing. I dunno...it all seems way to convenient to me.

well, we know it wasn't Israel. The mossad would have had better intel. I'm not even sure I believe there was a bombing. But, in the words of Ronaldus Maximus, "I've given the order to drop the bomb within five minutes". Mike check.

Hey... they forgot us.

I'm damn sure we have a few 'friends' of ourselves in-country... espically at this point.

The current idea is to give Bush a 30day plan to take Iran, 2 weeks to get to Tehran. Airial bomb the sites.

Hold outside the city and send spec-ops to assasinate leadership and other targets while 'defending' against attack outside the city.

But the current plan is NOT to stay, not to 'occupy' Iran.

In other words, we are working with the FUTURE Iranian gov't now. Talking to people, having them talk to friends and allies. Trying to get things started and formed, so they can step up as we take out the current leadership.

Anyway... not sure if 'our guys' are gunning for the pres now or just getting ready for after WE have to go in. Safe bet would be we are working that track, while the Brits try to avoid going in at all by taking out the pres with 'their guys'

From the much earlier Reuters release linked above:

Iranian authorities are particularly sensitive about protests and discontent in Khuzestan because the region sits on most of the Islamic Republic's crude reserves, the second biggest in the world.

"Arabs make up less than 3 percent of Iran's population, and most live in Khuzestan."

And three percent of approx 65 million = 1.95 million Khuzestani who, not only sit on the most valuable asset Iran has, but don't follow the crazy 12th Imam living down a well story...with a little help from their friends...

Very interesting,.....Oil to Tehran could be shut off pretty easily based on that pipeline map.

Khuzestan looks like its set to become the second wealthiest arab nation in the Middle east.
