FEEDING CROCODILES.....

"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last" - so said Sir Winston Churchill. It remains as true today as when he made this famous observation.

Today, the appeasers within the current US Administration sit down around the table with the delegates of the Iranian Mad Mullahs with the surreal aim of "winning regional support for efforts to stabilise the situation in Iraq."

Given that Iran (and its client state Syria) is dedicated to ensuring continued instability in the Middle East, and that the Mullahs will view this sitting down with them as evidence that their strategy is working, I can think of no more dangerous message to be sending at this time. And yet the MSM hail this as a courageous step forward. Over the cliff.

I think you have the read on this all wrong. I think this is is exactly just the opposit.

The U.S. has no direct formal communication with Iran This provides us the opportunity to deliver a message to them face to face.

Now lets look at what that message is. We now have two full carrier groups parked off the coast we have quick strike spec ops teams in 2 of Irans bordering countries. We have been capturing and killing Iranian Rev Guard in Iraq for last 6mths. Mookti has fled back to his puppet masters in Iran, the head of the Iranian funded Islamic State of Iraq has been captured, the master planner of Hezbooha has defected, and never ever underestimate american weapons and spy technology. We know where the nuclear facilities are in Iran and I can gurantee that we can hit them and destroy them with out using tactical nukes. We planned numerous strikes on soviet hardened facilities for decades and thats who built theirs.

What this opportunity is the chance to tell the Iranians face to face that a) We will strike if we think it is neccesary and b) no matter which party is in control of the political process in the U.S. we are not going anywhere.

Iran has ALLWAYS been the main objective of the war on terror in the Middle East

Where's daytripper when we need him .

Troll here's a nibble:

Why not just nuke 'em and get it done with?

You KNOW you want to!

But I think Troll is frustrated because he doesn't actually know (despite the bluster above) what his govt. is really saying to Iran.

[The Troll]

No No No there is no need to nuke the mad little persian. If you want to do the most damage to the country you don't even go after the nukes.

Iran has 1 I repeat 1 oil refinery, it's economy is bassed on selling crude. The first strike from the carrier groups should be a simultainius hit of both the refinery and the oil fields. That has a beutiful twofold effect it cripples their only internal source of fuel and rheir only source of revenue...

and tell me the two of you, Do you actualy believe we are there to ask the Iranians for help with Iraq...LOL

[Colm]

Come on Troll, admit it. You have absolutely no idea what your government officials said to the Iranians at the conference today.

i can see youre quite the master strategist. ever wondered what would happen to the world economy if you took out their refinery? it also worth reminiding you that saudi arabia functions essentially on one large refinery too, so an all out counter assault on that site would further exacerbate a global economic crisis.

the ultimate winners of such an exchange would be nations who have plenty of domestic supply. so expect russia to sit tight in troll world and laugh.

ive been in frankfurt for a long weekend colm. otherwise i may have bitten earlier. :)
