Iran helped us during the Afghanistan war by supplying arms, supplies and other materials to the Northern Allianc – AT OUR REQUEST. They also allowed us to overfly their airspace with our bombers, and transport ground vehicles through their country.

Ahmedinajad sent a letter to Bush saying that if WE would just talk to them, he was ready to remove all his objections to our ‘preconditions’ and put everything on the table for discussion. Bush ignored the letter (did not respond except with more sabre-rattling) and then called the Swiss ambassador on the carpet to beat him up for ‘interfering’ and even delivering the letter.

Iran has also been very helpful in Iraq when we have asked for help. Most recently, after al-Maliki attacked al-Sadr (dumb move) and was losing – WE asked the head of Quds (the organization we have officially declared as a terrorist organization – but which is part of Iran’s standing army) to mediate. Which he did.

And at the same time while they are HELPING US – we are busy calling them names, threatening them with all kinds of dire consequences, putting and advocating for more harsh sanctions, and criticizing their every move. We cut off diplomatic relations years ago.

All of you who are so worried about Iran have bought into the rhetoric of Bushco and need to take a deep breath and quit worrying about Iran and start worrying about Bush and Cheney. Once they are gone I believe firmly that the whole issue of Iran will be mostly taken care of.

If we can just get to January 20 without Buscho doing something absolutely stupid that is.

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun;
Here they come zooming to meet our thunder,
At ‘em boys, Give ‘er the gun! (Give ‘er the gun hey!)
Down we dive, spouting our flame from under,
Off with one hell of a roar!*
We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey!
Nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!

How would YOU remove a ##### safely and smoothly under certain known circumstances?

I’ll await yer answer.

“Ok, this morning y’all will have to do a ten-mile run before you’ll be allowed breakfast.”

“And this afternoon, we’ll continue in your training for the Iron-Man Triathlon…”
