LONELY MAHMOUD:

North Korea deal 'a message to Iran' (Richard Spencer and Toby Harnden, 13/02/2007, Daily Telegraph)

America has described a dramatic deal aimed at reining in North Korea's nuclear ambitions as a "message to Iran" that the world would stand firm against atomic proliferation.

After marathon six-party talks in Beijing saw an agreement struck with the Pyongyang regime, America was quick to point to this as an example of what could be achieved with other rogue states. America has described a dramatic deal aimed at reining in North Korea's nuclear ambitions as a "message to Iran" that the world would stand firm against atomic proliferation.

Balony. The only message Mahmoud will get is from Kim saying all his nuc material is safely on it's way to him.

Every time a big bomb goes off in Iraq, we ought to set one off in Tehran. Every time an American is killed by a sniper in Iraq (with a Steyr-Mannlicher rifle sold to the Iranian National Police), we should kill a mullah in Iran. Tit for tat. Then see if Mahmoud keeps making public appearances.

Since they're mostly American weapons being use why not kill an American official in washington every time?

Steyr-Mannlicher is an Austrian company.

Most of Iran's old military equipment is American. The current stuff (explosives, guns, comm. gear, some aircraft, etc.) is Russian. The high-tech stuff is definitely Russian, or North Korean, or Chinese.

You have conflated love for the Shi'a with love for the monsters. How do you feel, knowing that your Shi'a are jiggy with the Sunni nutjobs in Iraq?

They are using American equipment by the ton and an Austrian rifle or two. You allow your hysteria to blind you to reality. The Iranians are our allies in Iraq.

Then tell them to start killing the right people.

As I read it, the foreigners in Iraq (the AQ types) and the Sunni nutjobs are attacked only by Americans. The Shi'a death squads kill Sunni residents and take over neighborhoods. They aren't trying to attack Sunni jihadists. If that is true, they aren't very good allies, eh?

We're their mercenary army. Why shouldn't they let us do their work if we refuse to leave?
