How about since Iran has been a military dictatorship and quasi-governmental movement since 1979, hiding behind a fake religion, the head line should read…

Clinton has finally realized Iran is a Military Dictatorship!

Quote: “The admiral also noted that the U.S. has taken steps to protect several countries in the region from Iranian threats, and mentioned that Patriot air defense missiles had been deployed in the United Arab Emirates. Mullen added that all measures are defensive.”

The economy of Dubai might collapse so far before the Iranians ever strike it would be to the benefit of both the UAE and Iranian investors who own the deeds to the empty hulks of skyscrapers throughout the city. Western insurance companies would be the only losers.

Iran is already a military dictatorship. The mullahcracy was the larva.

And with her words, the O administration is paving the way to bomb Iran.

Nothing is more dangerous than a tyrant who is dropping in the polls.

You couldn't be more right. Because of his lack of experience, he is subject to all kinds of pressure from some ambitious political Wesley Clark type who longs for the cameras and the reflected glow.

I'm not saying we should preclude hitting Iran, but it has to be a sober decision based on the best possible data, rather than a wag the dog thing.

I think that is what’s called a “Hello, McFly!” moment or any other description proving a broken clock is on time twice a day. Sheesh!

Those ‘no pre-conditional talks’ have worked wonders, haven’t they, Clinton?

I agree. I think Obama is going to try to use this as a distraction. The only thing that might possibly keep him from doing so is that he is basically sympathetic to Ahmadinejad and his objectives.

Talk about coming late to the party! Where has this ditz been for the past 31 years? Did she think the mullahs were keeping the people at bay all this time simply through sweetness and charm?

The Dragon Lady and her boss, Super Fly, have no inkling of what is really going on in the world. Guess Super Fly will have to flit back over to the Mid East again to give a speech on how evil America and Israel are and kowtow to the Islamic fruitcakes.

That's the upside to this "caliph mentality" the tyrants have over there (and here?)

They all fight amongst themselves, and still have time to hate the jews and attack the persians.

Obama is no different. Just because he hates America, it doesn't mean he's a pacifist.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday the Obama administration believes Iran is becoming a military dictatorship.

Another epiphany brought to you by the folks from "Fatty Bottom".
