[...] I called this one, sort of. This was one of two ‘toons that I posted in late August as noteworthy among the several hundred I looked at. I’m surprised it won, though; there’s no vampire with a hook nose biting the neck of any Palestinian children. That’s practically a requirement for this garbage. Maybe they wanted something more, ah, subtle. [...]

It is a very easy matter to cause the kind of chaos that’s necessary.
It doesn’t require an expensive missle or anything like that. Iran has a very severe and readily exploitable achilles. It’s there if you look.
It does depend on the will of the american leadership to exploit it.

Right the F%^& on, NOW, we have this. Okay. Well. Obviously the Rooskies are helping out now.

Time for the Tridents, Dang!

That sub could perceivably sneak up to one of our seabords and launch the missle from there. It’s go time now. Crap.

Entelechy, HA! what jokes. They would flip flop daily until NY was a nuclear waste dump. It’s pretty easy for the likes of those jerks to claim they’d have it all under control if only they were in power, from the safety of their cush Senate seats. We saw how decisive Kerry was during his run for pres.
And Pelosi, she needs to go back to the East coast and quit ruining California! She seems so highly medicated…what a nightmare if she gets speaker.

sometimes i wish i was the president. straight forward, do what i say i will, without all the bullsh@t. that’s what you would get from me if i was the president. Iran would be rubble by now.

i mean come on, when the leader of a country is openly making statements about wanting to wipe the country of israel off the world map, and is obviously directing his country’s resources towards the developement of nuclear weapons, when do you start to take him seriously? it’s like we are dealing with another hitler, and just like in the time of the WWII generation, nobody took hitler seriously as he rose to power until it was too late.

and another thing, i’m sick of our country sending our tax dollars in foreign aid to countries that educate their children to hate us (*cough* saudi arabia *cough*) as well as countries that harbor terrorist organizations or equip them. spend all that money on the military and make our country STRONG.

speak your truth sincerly, respectfully and gently, but carry a very BIG stick.

NTWR, “this would have never happened in my administration; President Bush is weak on negotiations” –John Kerry

What the West needs is to unite. The UN has proven its own ineffectiveness time and time again. Western countries that agree that Iran cannot develop a nuclear weapon should unite and work with eachother to stop Iran from doing so, if necessary with an…

And I must be double-dumb, because while I can sort of blindly grope at the meaning intended by the first cartoon, I really have no idea about the second.

The pretext of prevention of a future Holocaust as the cover under whick the evil Zionists oppress the brave and noble muslim. Either I just nailed it, or the cartoon was some sort of sick Rorshcach and I’ve inavertently outed my deep-seated antisemitism and Jihad sympathies. (I’m George Galloway, biyatch!)

Russia is hinting it’ll veto Security Council sanctions on Iran — so Bush is moving to plan B. An interesting dilemma for the nutroots: if Bush actually can put together a coalition of western European nations to impose their own sanctions, is it a victory for diplomacy?

I must be dumb. Sanctions are evil because they hurt only “the people.” Force is evil, always, period.

Is there a third option that will eliminate the threat of Iran launching something at Israel or us? If so I wish some lefty would explain it to me. Without using the words “poverty,” “diplomacy,” or “table.”

As I said here:

I really don't see an unsolvable problem here. Step 1 is for George Bush to grow a pair. Step 2 is even more obvious. So, what are we waiting for?

“Obviously, we don’t want Iran to have nuclear weapons and I don’t know if they’re developing them, but if they’re not developing them, they’re crazy.”

Well, unless the risk of regime change brought on by the pursuit of nuclear weapons is greater than the risk of regime change in having to fight a war without nuclear weapons. Then, not so much.

I thought that summed it up nicely. (all emphasis mine).

Surprise! Iran opens heavy-water production plant

Update: Israel opens bomb-bay doors.

Update: U.S. and Britain, following tradition, backs Israel.

Update: The U.N. and the Resto\ of the World, also following tradition, goes “bolistic” (pun intended).

Or is it as simple as Bush being wrong no matter what move he makes?

You bet!

Right about now, Iran is like that old creepy dude you see trolling parks with a trench coat. You know he’s going to flash, it’s a matter of when, and what will he try after the fact. So, this surprise is really no surprise, nor will their announcement of “nuclear birth”, whenever it is they get around to opening the trench coat.
