One Lump Or Two?

Could somebody please explain why we haven’t capped this guy yet? He’s been begging for it since day one. Also, please explain why this guy gets a lot of approval and GWB is attacked and vilified for far less? That’s a rhetorical question - no need to answer.
Let’s see; Aiding the destabilization of Iraq, by the murder of Iraqi citizens and American Military, with arms and men (check the latest announcement from Al Sadr, another argument for retroactive abortion), nuclear weapons program, kidnapping of British sailors, violations of the Geneva Convention after kidnapping said sailors - that’s just the legalistic high points from the last few years!
I actually feel sorry for the Iranian people who have to live with this a**hole (hmmmm, but then they did vote him into office) and who will then have to live with the aftermath of whichever country finally attacks Iran to take out Ahmawhackjob and the reigning Mullahs. Anyone been noticing the Mid East arms build up? This time, they don’t seem that interested in Israel.
I wonder how many of us would volunteer to make up an expeditionary force like the Rough Riders, if we were guaranteed a shot at this ass?
Since the US is held to the impossible standard of not going to war except in the case of a full frontal attack by conventional forces, we should borrow a page from Putin’s book and methodically wipe out our enemy one asshole at a time.
I hear Jimmy Carter is planning a hostage rescue…
I just blew some dust off my Stray cats LP,
(Storm The Embassy)
Fifteen man taken captive in a hostile foreign land
Scorchin’ sun beaming down onto miles and miles of sand
A mideast country being ruled
By a man who thinks it’s fun
To hold our people in return
For a sjah that’s on the runI think it’s funny
Freedom takes moneyIt’s a heartache and it’s hard luck
Well that’s tough shit
Man it’s no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shootin’ down you and meScourge of suits in control
Of the diplomaticness
While the nations of the world
Look on and they care less
The Soviet Union won’t agree
To an economic plan
And then they laugh and march their troops into AfghanistanOrders from Moscow
Invade Teheran nowIt’s a heartache and it’s hard luck
Well that’s tough shit
Man it’s no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shootin’ at you and meA nation worries and reads the papers
Hoping that no-one has died
Hearin’ rumours that the hostages
Will soon be tried as spies
Demonstrations on the street
Saying that the end is near
The man from New York Times on vacation
Wants to know what happened hereAgressive acts now
We want the best now
Fifteen moms crying
Is my son dying ?It’s a heartache and it’s hard luck
Well that’s tough shit
Man it’s no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shootin’ at you and mean old song ringing true now A. what a bunch of assholes, oh, and thanks europe for your support. the iranian cab driver was told to go spin tonight, will i get a visit from the human rights lot? who fucking cares.
When I was in GB, I knew some SAS types. Those guys are really, really GOOD at what they do. So...why not let them earn their paycheck? And if Tehran complains? Heh.
Don’t let Mr. Dinnerjacket get ahold of any ”Nuke Boost”....
From the country that gave the world Nelson, Wellington, Churchill et al what do we have now? Neville Chamberlain I suspect. Whatever became of “Heart of Oak?”
Come cheer up, my lads,
‘tis to glory we steer,
To add something more
To this wonderful year,
To honour we call you,
Not press you like slaves,
For who are so free
As the sons of the waves?Chorus:
Heart of oak are our ships,
Jolly tars are our men,
We always are ready,
Steady, boys, steady,
We’ll fight and we’ll conquer
Again and again. :|We ne’er see our foes
But we wish them to stay,
They never see us
But they wish us away,
If they run, why we follow,
And run them ashore,
And if they won’t fight us,
We cannot do more.
Chorus:They swear they’ll invade us,
These terrible foes,
They frighten our women,
Our children and beaus,
But should their flat bottoms
In darkness get o’er,
Still Britons they’ll find
To receive them on shore.
Chorus:Our worthy forefathers,
Let’s give them a cheer,
To climates unknown,
Did courageously steer.
Through oceans to deserts,
For freedom they came,
And dying, bequeathed us
Their freedom and fame.
Dr. Jeff - your statement (they voted for him) goes to the primary issue of the real foreign policy issue - perhaps they voted for him as he was the lesser of two evils. That is what appears to becoming the political ‘problem’ world wide. One of the screeds from the left is that ‘the US supported Saddam and now they want him out, hypocrisy’, no actually it is stupidity on your part. Taking 2000 era results and applying the 1970s politics and policies does not work. In Iraqs case, perhaps Saddam was the lesser of the evils possible. In Irans case, in the 70s, yes some could have predicted what happened and most were against what happened, but ever the champion of human rights, President Carter went ahead. And look, now 30 years later, Iran is trying to meddle in all of the interactions in the Middle East and now the World wants everyone to keep out of it?
What a crock, if Iran isn’t stopped - this will be a World War. Whether the anti-American warmongers, leftists and pc whinners agree or not. . .and then where will they be - gunless, gutless and as usual, on the wrong side?
LyndonB ,Did you say the same thing when the Falklands kicked off? and from a country that is fighting in Iraq and afgan and doing a fucking fantastic job, 100% behind the Yanks with our full force, not just putting up some tents (10 guys europe) that buy the way will clame all the glorey after we have bashed these fuckers into the 21 centery.
when it comes to iran tb,s bollocks are smaller than M thatchers,LyndonB, when are you leaving this wonderfull land? i just wish you would hurry up and go.
The heart of oak is still here
cmblake6, they ernt there pay checks back in the 80s not one living iranian came out of the buliding.
Bulldog. Is English your first language?
Score one for LyndonB!
You two guys ought to take this comedy show on the road. You could make a killing on stage and in movies.
I see it now. The first movie will be Lyndon and Bulldog in “Road To Teheran”, co-starring Sean Penn as President Ahmawackjob and Fred Thompson as George Bush and Benny Hill as Tony Blair.
Setting aside the Lyndon-Bulldog double act, I must remind everyone that those sailors and marines were intercepting cargo ships at the behest of the Useless Nitwits. Thus they were bound by the Useless Nitwits’ Rules of Engagement, which means they cannot open fire until fired upon. This rendered them unable to defend themselves against 4 Iranian clerical soldiers armed with a peashooter.
These soldiers needed to have called the Iranian soldiers’ bluff, and totally ignored them, until one of them opened fire. Then the RN would have been totally justified in wiping out the Iranian patrol boat. Hanging their remains from the deck rail of the frigate would have been an elegant statement.
Thus they were bound by the Useless Nitwits’ Rules of Engagement, which means they cannot open fire until fired upon.
You know what? Fuck that. THEY KNEW! They knew what would happen, and (ahem), the winner writes the history books. Anybody ever heard that one?
