OK, this surprises who?

In other news, JFK's people supplied anti Castro guerilla forces (most of whom now own real estate in Miami) and the Reagan gang supplied arms to the Contras of Nicaragua. South Africa armed a number of sides in Mozambique and Angola, the Chinese and Russians the North Koreans, so how in the blazes would Iran not work through proxies in Iraq?

They are not stupid.

You mean the Badr Brigade wasn't indigenous?

That SCIRI has outside funding?

Hell's bells, man! Are you saying that Iran is working under-the-table to increase its influence in the region?

Well, at least Syria isn't doing that.


ETA: I'm not actually laughing at you firecoins. It's good at times to make the obvious obvious because it isn't always obvious. And I actually mean that in the way I worded it...

That last line, delivered in such fine deadpan style, caused a small spray of coffee to hit my keyboard.

Bastidge. :D

I don't think anything article called into question intelligence.

Yes we already knew this but now is proven, if the article is right.

Is that like Mel Gibson claiming dipsomaniac immunity for his outburst about Jews?

Of course Iran is shipping brand-new weapons to insurgents in Iraq. Iran is like the mob and President Jalal Talabani is the guy being shaken down by the mob.

When President Jalal Talabani when to see President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently he was looking for help, "protection" if you will. The guy offering the "protection" is really the guy sending brand-new weapons to insurgents in Iraq. It's the classic protection racket scenerio.

So that is why Amardijian(sp) is imitating Marlon Brando?

DRDon Ahmadinejad, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your home on the wedding day of your daughter. And may their first child be a masculine child. :D

I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishonor her family. She found a boyfriend; not an Italian. She went to the movies with him; she stayed out late. I didn't protest. Two months ago, he took her for a drive, with another boyfriend. They made her drink whiskey. And then they tried to take advantage of her. She resisted. She kept her honor. So they beat her, like an animal. When I went to the hospital, her nose was a'broken. Her jaw was a'shattered, held together by wire. She couldn't even weep because of the pain. But I wept. Why did I weep? She was the light of my life beautiful girl. Now she will never be beautiful again. I went to the police, like a good American. These two boys were brought to trial. The judge sentenced them to three years in prison - suspended sentence. Suspended sentence! They went free that very day! I stood in the courtroom like a fool. And those two bastards, they smiled at me. Then I said to my wife, for justice, we must go to Don Corleone.



There is a speech Amadijian salad dressing will never make.:rolleyes:
