What is Sal drinking?
I'm going to be spending some quality time with the list of Southern cocktails from Garden & Gun through the new year.

Somebody's growing teeth, it just isn't us.
Too true, sadly.
I am so tired of this game. If Iran manages to develop and build nuclear weapons, then the whole world is at risk of conflagration. That new self-appointed Xerxes, Ahmadinnijad, is determined to bring on Armaggedon. He has said so time and time again. If he gets his hands on these weapons, he WILL use them, and the hands of our national leaders will be just as bloody in this as those in Iran who wished for this event.
Our lack of resolve makes us just as culpable in the coming disaster because we have dithered and posed and done nothing to actually force the issue.
This is, in effect, no different that American leadership covering up news of the Holocaust and turning away ships full of Jewish refugees before and during WWII.
I prefer to look at this as "defanged" (as in the Western world)
You could also include a brain in the glass...'cause nobody in this administration is using theirs; there ought to be plenty available. Small specimens, but nonetheless avaialable. The approaches to both N. Korea and Iran are insanity - we keep doing the same things over and over and over again expecting a different result. This is the problem with eggheads running the show.

Sanctions work only against governments interested in economy of their nations, sadly most rogue regimes dont give a damn about it as long as they can finance their military and security...
Saudis turning a blind eye to Israeli airstrike can be possibly the real deal. Hitler managed to make allies of Churchill and Stalin...
I wonder if the politicians of the 1930's who minimized Hitler's threat, refused to take him seriously and didn't read his book were as smug as the ones today who minimize the Islamist threat, refuse to take it seriously and haven't read their book.
Yep. Just about the same.
"And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, with terror and slaughter return."
on the bright side, Iran is not Germany of the both word wars fitness...
Really? Oppresive regimes? Check. War crimes? Check. Want's to eliminate an entire class of people? Check.
There's differences, but about as much as one skunk smells a hair different than another.
I think they were. And Winston Churchill was despised and branded a warmonger from 1935 or so. Sounds familiar, huh?
Ayep. Sounds familiar indeed. BTW Guest, the Kaiser's Germany was just another European nation when it came to individual rights.
Iran gives the Third Reich a run for its money. If they were as technologically innovative as the damned Germans, they would be worse.
The difference is that Germany tried to hide the fact they were killing all the Jews. Iran is threatening to do it in the open. One has shame, the other none. Religion of peace and all.
It was me as guest - and I was meaning military prowess not political awfulness - I doubt there are any Guderians, Mansteins, Priens, or Wittmans in the Revolutionary Guard. I am sure theres lot of wannabe Sonederkommando operators.
Remember, Iran was incapable of finishing Iraq for 8 years. US took it out in 2 weeks.
On a lesser scale we might yet see Arabian-Israeli alliance to defeat Iran. War makes for very strange bedfellows...
Strange bedfellows indeed!
You are right regarding Iran militarily. Unless they get some usable warheads and sufficiently accurate ICBMs and the AAA to effectively guard them. All of which they are working on.
Thats why BMD becomes very important mission, and thats why Russians seem suddenly to postpone S-300 delivery ad calendas graecas... BTW Iranian ICBM would be likely equivalent of first soviet SS-7/8s at best, long to load fuel and big target... and there is no known AAA to stop B-2 from dropping a nuke on top of the said ICBM :)
Final undoing of such madmen is striking before really ready to fight. I fully expect Ahmanedijad to launch very first constructed nuke at Israel, doing untold damage but survivable due to Israeli good civil defence - and then getting his country thrown back a few centuries with Israeli fire from the sky.
