US Military Option on Iran Is Back on the Table
2008-03-19
It is Debka & probably wishful thinking, yet
DEBKAfileÂ’s military, Washington and Gulf sources report that US V ice President Dick Cheney is again talking about possible US military action to shut down IranÂ’s covert nuclear program.

#15  FOX NEWS this AM > BREAKING - IIRC/IIHC, OSAMA BIN LADEN has reportedly just threatened? the Pope = Vatican over these Toons?

OSAMA, etc + Radical Islam may not had needed a de facto HIDDEN IMAM-MAHDI to initiate their Regional-Global Jihad, or start a War(s), BUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME TO STOP US = US-LED ENTRENCHMENT THEY'LL NEED AN IMAM-NAHDI TO SALVAGE THEIR IDEO + OWG AGENDA, AND TO KICK GLOBAL NON/ANTI-ISLAMIST = WESTERN HINIES.

Iff the above FOX NEWS report is true, it again tells me that my old/former Aghan War cohort OSAMA, etc REALIZES THE JIHAD IS REACHING A DECISIVE TURNING POINT-APEX = POINT OF NO RETURN, AS TO INEVITABLE VICTORY VERSUS INEVITABLE DEFEAT, TO INCLUDE THE POSSIB INVALIDATION OF ISLAM AS A DIVINE FAITH.

#14  I voted for Bush twice. I'd do it again were he facing the same challengers.

But he's not going to do anything to make the world safer. Its not in him. Iraq should have been a mere "staging area" to promote further restructuring of the Middle East. It didn't happen in 2003 and its not happening as he walks out the door.

#13  Braise in a red wine sauce... or white, depending on taste. ;-)

Mr. Wife had a colleague who always brought his scuba gear when he went to the plant in Saudi Arabia. Apparently the diving around there is incredible.

#12  I will NOT start commenting about how you can tenderize bitter, tough meat by simmering it in salted water for a while ....

#11  I sure am glad Cheney doesn't eat what he shots.

Yeah. Lawyers taste terrible.

#10  Cheney has been an outdoor sportsman for decades. ;-)

I guess it would depend on the species, but when I was growing up we ate what we caught. Or shot.

#8  Nah, just seems like a nice coincidence.

And no, I never fish, I could enjoy the zen-aspect of the experience, but, catching food and then setting it free again goes against everything I believe in ;)

#7  There is really good fishing in that area. Oman has a flourishing tourist industry based around that.

#6  And why would that surprise you - do people in the Netherlands never fish, 'COL'?

#4  When was the military option ever off the table?

#3  Why not 9/11/08?

The election will be in full swing until November.
Launch something in January and the dhimocrats won't even have time to ink anything resembling a complaint or an impeachment before the next guy is sworn in.

Kinda a "Ha-ha fuck you" type of action as you leave.
