Who let the dogs out? I know who can put’em up. Bring it on. Lame duck Bush will strike & bring Repubs back in style. Who wants Dems in charge who agree with AlQaeda that we are losing in Iraq? Bring it on!

Let me rephrase this...

Is there nothing the West can give Iran to precipitate an
internal breakdown? Why aren’t we?.

Perhaps documenting the Mullah’s multimillion dollar Swiss bank accounts?

Amadinejads porn tapes? Come on Help me now!

This article is interesting. I read the author’s writings from time to time. Often he’s a bit kooky, I think. Even if he’s right abut how screwed up Iran is, we probably cannot wait until it’s implosion makes the world a safer place.

I do hope you’re right, but he will grow even more in the country’s esteem if he were to veto this upcoming immigration bill. Iran can always be dealt with (our Armed Forces are that good), but by signing the bill the US will become irreversibly just another turd world nation.
