[...] perhaps that should have been taken into account pre-invasion, and (2) the fact is there are a few Mandelas still left in Iraq. They just can’t get political [...]

Haven’t the Iraq Parliamentarians (and everyone else in power) stolen enough of the “missing billions” of US loot not to need extra Iranian shekels?

Or is their greed as bottomless as their heads are brainless?

Follow the money, like always.

The whole middle east is sliding away from sanity more and more. It’s only a matter of time before somebody taps off a nuke. I wonder if they’ll nuke there own first or try for Israel. I think we’re headed for a body count that might equal WWII except we’ll get it in minutes rather than years.

Didn’t Clinton’s people try this, only to have Russian advisors find the bug and fix it?

Yeah, no. In no way fits their profile.

P.S. I say leak some nuke tech to the Iranians, only disinformationish that will cause a melt down. Not only will this set them back, but other Mid East countries will be less inclinded to follow suit.

This would all stop if we just invaded Iran.
No more Iranian influence in Iraq–they’d be too busy ducking.

“I said, ‘You cannot yet attack London or New York with the atom bomb you build, but I am your neighbor. You could attack us.’”…

Wow, logic over greed.

Why would Iran care about small potatoes like al-Alusi? The only answer I can think of is that they want him as a trophy. They know he’s famously pro-western, so to have him flip would be a finger in Bush’s eye and hugely demoralizing for the cause of political progress.

Well it could be that or this just goes to show that they are bribing anyone they can talk too. Kind of like owning a town by paying off everyone including the dog catcher.

As for Condi, she would have been better in Rummy’s old job. I curious if she’s such into diplomacy over action because it’s her job and she’s an over-achiever (obviously).

Ya’know, this would just be a another Iraqi dog bites man story if not for Al-Alusi. Its a shame there are so few Al-Alusis there. We could probably be largely outta there if there were.
