Yea? Well, someone needs to kick that iron sooner rather than later. We can't find Osama, but we defintely know where this guys is. I'll donate a few $ to the effort to take him out. Maybe these guys can do the deed (tounge planted firmly in cheek): http://hitman.us/

Iron Balls perhaps. But a we learn in the sacred texts of Neil Young, "Rust never sleeps."

It is times like these when I am eternally greatful to President Bush and his administration for giving those who believe in him and his administration the confident knowledge that the United States will not be swayed by temerarious demands and that radical despots like Ahmadinejad will be put firmly into their place.

In my humble opinion about 9 stragecially placed atomic bombs from one corner of Iran to another and in between would be a good first installment payment.

Sorry, folks. We lose. Too much time has passed. Was a time when we could have done something about Ahmedinnerjacket and the Moooooolahs without resorting to nukes. Now we have two alternatives both of which suck really bad. (1) We can do nothing about these thugs and live with the consequences of a nuclear Iran dominating the region and possibly providing al-Qaeda et. al with bombs; or (2) we resort to continuous day and night strategic bombing, reducing their military assets to dust and inflame the rest of the world. Along with the destruction of most of their nuclear program will be piles of civilian dead. Can you imagine how that would play on al-Jazeera? The Eurabians would of course condemn us to keep their seething Muslim masses from torching half of Europe. How do we deal with this, folks? Ideas? Sleep well.
