I caught your earlier article and agreed completly. I have been deeply puzzled about the gales of silence emanating from Tehran.

Methinks that the intel community has been quietly fomenting the "revolution" in Iran and that is why it hasn't been played up br the Bush Administration. But now, it would appear that the last vestiges of the Taliban are beginning to appear in Iran, there is concern. While there is inter-necine wafare between Islamic sects, the desire for the world-wide caliphate trumps them all.

You are an excellent writer, If I can be of assistance Freepmail me for direct contact info.

Semper Fi

Call me when Neil takes quarter million dollar loans from communists and reveals to them classified documents.

Other than that, you're making a mountain out of a convenient and utterly paranoid molehill.

"It’s a damn good thing I’m not president because if I was, I would slit the throats of every terrorist and their ENTIRE family"

Unbelievably, your statement is very rational. When we have that attitude, we will begin to win the war on terror.

I remember seeing OBLs son getting married and thinking - why is that whole family alive to spawn more bombs on my son and future sons and daughters. They should be taken out dispassionately.

Wouldn't it be funny if we amassed all of our troops in Kuwait and then when the invasion begins we move all of our troops into IRAN.

I have met a lot of wonderful Iranians living over here after Jimmy Carter sold them out to the murdering mullahs.

The last one was a young mother with a child the age of our grand daughter this past summer. At a park, her daughter and my grand daughter started playing together and had a great time.

My wife and I started talking to her, and very shortly into the conversation, I asked if she was Iranian. She got scared, and I told her not to be scared.

She said that she was Iranian and had fled. She and her husband while she was still pregnant got into Turkey somehow and ended up over here. They were terrified at the thought of bringing up their baby in Iran.

They loved America, but they will go back in a moment if their friends back in Iran overthrow the murdering mullahs.

When I asked her when the overthrow would happen, she said shortly after Saddam died, was killed or lost power. She said that the people in Iran feared Saddam more than the murdering mullahs. They tolerated the mullahs because they felt that they would offer some protection against Saddam. When he was gone, they would no longer tolerate the mullahs.

"The possibility that we are being set up in Iraq has occurred to me..."

Well, it obviously also occured to Bush. The world responded with a collective "Huh?" when Dubya named Iraq, N. Korea and IRAN the "Axis of Evil". Dubya plays chess well.

It all started when Jimmy Carter refused to do anything when they took over our embassy and did the Shah in. Of course Jimmy got paid well for this after he left office.

Yep. I agree.

Jimmy Carter's foreign inexpertise has caused many heartbreaks and trouble throughout the world. He seems to have an image of himself as a resurrected Ghandi. He has done so much to hurt our world thru his idiotic decisions and weak diplomatic stances that pages upon pages could be written about it..

And now, we have that worm of a failed ex-president, who is still not allowed to practice his profession of law (how shameful is THAT for an ex-president, forever a proven liar thru his perjurious statements) actually making speeches around our nation saying that 'the US should not go into Iraq without UN approval'

I cannot imagine any ex-president doing more to undermine, demoralize, hurt and slap his own nation across the bow.

I am so angry at him I could spit nails. Truly.

He is, imho, a traitor. So unstatesmanlike, so out of control, so stupid and insidious in his classical MO that it defies words to describe the horror that is this subhuman freak.

The edotirs of the Washington Compost need some heavy meds.

They're rabidly into the protesting of peace, i.e.: the organized peace protestors, but here they are saying Binny's boy is active in Iran, which is part of the Axis of Evil, thus giving us more reason to continue the war on terror.

So which is it, Compost?? True peace, which may not be achievable without war...or the continuing policy of covering the protestors of peace (Binny's and buddies useful idiots)??

"I think that when Iraq falls, Iran will be right behind them- only it will come from within."

Exactly. We don't have to liberate Iran- we just need to provide cover for their own people.

....plus Iraq is a perfect launch pad for an attack on Iran. The domino theory works this way too!

They have the most pro-American populace in the Arab world

Hmm, they are not in the Arab world. They are Persians not Arabs.

"Saddam is VERY secular. UBL sees that Saddam is ousted (Go US!) then the resulting chaos is prime for the positioning of key figures in the replacement government that could be swayed to the islamic cause."

Don't underestimate the ties of tribalism. Saddam may be an agnostic or athiest, but he's still *one* of them. The only ones who are truly so extreme as all Islamists seem are the cannon and bomb fodder. Their leaders just talk the talk to recruit more. Religion is their excuse and the snake oil they sell in exchange for personal power. In truth, they're just Nazi socialists as Saddam (who was a member of the Nazi party) is.

They'll leave Saddam alone. Socialists of a feather stick together.

The money connections between Carter and the Islamofacists go way back.

Carter never met a communist mass murdering leader nor an Islamofacist Killer Head Thug, he didn't love and adore.

He was all most a one man wrecking company for our country as president. After RR defeated him, he has worked covertly a man of peace to harm this nation.

Is he selling secrets? What exactly do you think he's doing that's illegal? He appears to be looking for investors from many countries that are NOT Muslim.

I truly believe that he is either stupid (and I know his background) in his lack of vision or he is a communist, a true communist. I truly believe this man is sick. And I don't know about you, but I sense an anger in Carter-a real deep anger-against President Bush.

She's absolutely right. The mad mullahs in Iran are well aware of this too. Another politics-of-personal-power-reason that the 'evil' Coalition of the Willing should never oust Saddam.
