It really is appalling that our raving lunatic may actually be worse than their raving lunatic. Keep in mind that their raving lunatic has such gems as denying the Holocaust, but ours still may be worse. :smack: ---

Even that stalwart purveyor of pre-war hysteria, the Washington Post, acknowledges that there is a problem this time around: [Skepticism Over Iraq Haunts U.S. Iran Policy](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/14/AR2007021401819.html) > [@](#): > > “In the old days, if the U.S. government had come out and said, ‘We’ve got this, here’s our assessment,’ reasonable people would have taken it at face value,” the official said of the Baghdad briefing. “That’s never going to happen again.” Mainstream knows that they can’t deny the color of the sky and expect to retain credibilty. ---

This time we should just declare victory before the actual invasion. Hang “Mission Accomplished” banners all over, write fawning accounts of the Bush Administration’s amazingly successful liberation of Iran, give Halliburton a big blank check for no reason. Who knows, it may well confuse Bush into totally forgetting about any real military action. ---

There’s a large gulf between “Ahmadinejad has the upper hand” and “The Pres’s got Iran by the short ‘n’ curlies”. The truth, I suspect, lies in between these two possibilities, try as you might to exclude the middle into the fifth dimension. ---

There’s no equivocation in my query, in fact, I think we’ve actually got him by the balls at this point. I was just trying to understand BG’s cryptic quip. ---

An interesting conclusion, given GWB’s assessment that US troops are daily being eviscerated by Iranian weaponry, and that Iraq is allegedly riddled with Iranian agents. In what possible way does the US have Ahmadinejad “by the balls”? What will the US be able to persuade Iran to do - stop oppressing women? Abandon nuclear power? Disband the army? Sing Kumbaya? ---

> [@jjimm](#): > > In what possible way does the US have Ahmadinejad “by the balls”? Since I posted my original statement about “shorthairs,” something big has happened in Iraq. Before we proceed, two things I need to understand from you: 1. Yesterday’s bombing. Do you doubt the MEK was connected to it? 2. Do you think Iran wants an Iraq-style invasion and/or occupation? ---

Do you think Iran wants an Iraq-style invasion and/or occupation? I think Iran would not desire this, but would remain confident of its ability to defend with a land army, given the US’s overstretch either side of Iran’s landmass. IOW, it’s still airstrikes on the table. Unless the US is sponsoring terrorism. Which, of course, it wouldn’t. :eek: I still don’t think this constitutes “by the short and curlies”. ---

> [@](#): > > 1. Do you think Iran wants an Iraq-style invasion and/or occupation? More to the point, WE do not want an Iraq-style invasion and/or occupation. Nor could we reasonably sustain one. I’m mystified as to why you continue to insist we are capable of doing so. Especially in light of [information that billions of dollars](http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2007/02/15/national/w100653S49.DTL) (that’s billions with a “B” kids) are being squandered in the current clusterfuck. Could we bomb them into next year? Certainly. Is it all that good of an idea? Fuck, no.
