If the Israelis also got lucky and effectively decapitated Syrian leadership by catching the Basher and company at the site that would make the Osirak operation look like like a high school field trip.

I wonder if they sold that stuff on credit.

My guess is that it was cash-n-carry.

[SE Mom]

Yep- particularly in light of MadMood’s rhetoric this week. AND- guess who he’s visiting now? The Citgo guy..funloving Hugo Chavez.

All Syria and Iran would have to do is wake up and start acting like members of the 21st Century, not the 12th, and their nations would do a lot better.

Way too rational, D.O. :-))

At this point both are change nations, not status quo. If Iran can get nukes, it becomes the dominant power in the middle east, with strong allied militias in Lebanon, Iraq and the Pali territories. Syria still wants a Greater Syria, i.e. Lebanon, Jordan, Golan and as much of Israel/Palestine as it can get. An alliance with a nuclear Iran could get them most of it.

The only way to avoid an attack on Iran, IMHO, is if there is actual regime change in Iran, not a "reformer" replacing Nutjob, but the mullets out too. The West has let the mullets get too close to their goal for them to give it up now.

“Iran is no more than a proxy of Russia.”

Keep an open mind, but a loaded weapon. Russia sold Iran down the river before, the last time it was via oil.

Plausible, isn’t it ...

[Little Ray]

First, we should have give the Kurds independence (to heck with Turkey).
Then we should have picked a side in the Iraqi civil war (preferablly the Shiites) and helped them to exterminate the other side (preferably the Sunnis).
That completed, we should have provoked ANOTHER civil war (say between pro- and anti-Iran Shiites) and taken sides. We help “our” side exterminate the loser.
THEN we should have formed a government of the survivors...

But who is Jack Wheeler?

Jack Wheeler was "The real Indiana Jones." before other people were.

You're welcome!

Most of the time I get beat out by someone else posting the good ones!

[Grams A]

No more popcorn. Our government has determined that it is not safe and causes some kind of cancer or something! But rest is a go.

Dr. Jack Wheeler, what a mensch!

Thanks, Salem!

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[petercooper]

Using the term ‘diaperheads’ is not helpful.

Ahmadinejad isn’t back home, he is visiting with our good buddy Chavez. Oh to be a fly on the wall.

[McGruff]

Not to worry comrads. You stil have those GPS Guidance Jammers that the Russians sold you don't you? (He, he, he).

[DoughtyOne]

Those are valid arguments to be sure.

Thanks.
