		<description>Obama&#039;s people may realize that Iran has been helping Sunnis of all stripes who are against the coalition. What they are presuming, probably correctly, is that the average Joe on the street has not picked up on this fact.

		<description>Come on now folks…

John changes his position after Joe squeezes his right elbow and looks slightly right and Joe speaks softly into to his only good ear…

”John, John…terrorists, terrorists…. not al-Qaeda.”

Check the video, Joe is definitely saying terrorist!

Let’s define John’s political g-spot here. Squeeze right elbow, whisper into right ear!

What the hell is that?</description>

		<description>Speaking of working together on a case-by-case, Markos Moulitsas and Juan Plantation McVano are pretty much in lock step on &quot;immigration&quot;.

&lt;i&gt;If McCain can keep the xenophobes in check, then he may still keep the Latino vote competitive this fall and in coming cycles.
- Markos Moulitsas &lt;/i&gt;

Iran supports Al Q and Markos Moulitsas supports Juan McCain!!!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;So much for the notion that radical Shi’ite and Sunni jihadists cannot work together. That myth got debunked almost four years ago&lt;/blockquote&gt;

There is no myth that &quot;radical&quot; Shiites and Sunni &quot;Jihadists&quot; can not work together. For something to be a myth it has to be popularly believed. It is not popularly believed that they &lt;b&gt;can not&lt;/b&gt; ever work together. Ed Morrissey could work together with Markos Moulitsas on something on a tactical case-by-case, but how often do they? If they did, would it be the rule or just the exception? 

The vast majority of Shiite Iran&#039;s support has gone to fellow &quot;radical&quot; Shiites, not Sunni &quot;Jihadists&quot; (AQ or AQI). Most support for Sunni &quot;Jihadists&quot; comes from the likes of Saudi Arabians, not Iranians.

This is all a lot like someone arguing that there is a lot of global warming because they can give an example of evidence that there is global warming at a certain couple of locations and just ignore everything else.</description>

2)Iran is making nukes: The ONLY reason for 3000 centrifuges is to enrich Uranium for bombs.
3)Iran has funded, harbored, and assisted terrorists/groups since 1979.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;When asked whom Iran supports, Mr. al Tamimi said, “Everybody — it works with the government, with the opponents of the government, with the opponents of the government’s opponents, with Al-Qaeda, with the enemies of Al-Qaeda, with the militias, with the enemies of the militias … Iran spreads its investments everywhere – with the Shiites, the Sunnis, and the Kurds,” &lt;/blockquote&gt;

..... and Obama and Hillary, not completely understanding this, is proof that they do not understand our enemy and what it will take to win this war.</description>

Be still my heart,  a BHO adviser is admitting that AQ is in Iraq, WOW.

Ok,  so since they agree that AQI exists, then there policy is to leave them to Iraq? What?</description>

		<description>&quot;The enemy of my enemy is my friend.&quot; That applies to Sunni and Shiite terrorists, as it does to Rev. Wright.

Osama Obama doesn&#039;t care. Anything that deflects scrutiny from his beliefs and lack of qualification to be president works for him.

It has worked for him so far. But the clay feet may at last be crumbling.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;John McCain immediately corrected an assertion that Iran trains al-Qaeda fighters, but he remains firm that Iran supports AQI cells in Iraq.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;It wouldn’t be the first cooperation between AQ and Iran, either. As the 9/11 Commission report makes clear on page 240 of its final report, Iran had attempted to work its way into AQ’s graces, but had been rejected out of concern for its Wahhabist supporters in Saudi Arabia&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Let&#039;s be clear, does anybody know the true relationship between Iran and Al-Qaeda?

Those who know and can prove it, please stand up.

The only people who can assert that relationship at this point in time are the Intelligence Community and the Military. 

The 9/11 Commission report is old.

I want to know what is happening on the ground &lt;strong&gt;right now&lt;/strong&gt;.

Will any of above-mentioned speak up?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;That myth got debunked almost four years ago, and yet people like Susan Rice and the Obama campaign continue to rely on it to shade their eyes to the intertwining of threatening terrorist networks.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

According to the left there is no threat from the religion of pieces, this whole thing was made up by the evil Bushitler/Darth Cheney regime to scare all of us into giving up more of our rights so they can enslave us and make more money...

Nothing to fear here, if Obama is elected POTUS he will &quot;talk&quot; with our enemies and all will be right in the world again...please!  Obama and Hillary must not be elected, if they are we will be led straight to the lions mouth, now that is frightening!</description>

		<description>Of course Iran is helping AQ in Iraq... its a no brainer.

One major component of modern warfare (which the Chinese are doing really well at) is economic warfare.

When a free capaitalist society is confronted by State run and funded &quot;Corporations&quot; they word at a political disadvantage.  State run corps will have political, not just business, objecitves... and can be helped by the overall political climate around them...

Chaos in the mideast and South America have driven oil prices to historic hights.  Anything which drives up oil prices helps to sustatin the Iranian economy (which is in horrible shape).  

Chaos in Iraq is in Iran&#039;s ECONOMIC best interests.  If Iraq stabilizes on EITHER side, world oil prices will drop, and Iran&#039;s economy will loose its life preserver.

Want Peace in Iraq? Drill in Anwar and start to make use of Tarsand and Oilshale Teck here in America...</description>

		<description>Didn&#039;t Susan Rice serve as Deputy Undersecretary of State for Doing Absolutely Nothing to Stop Genocide in Africa during the Clinton Administration?

She must be very proud of that part of her CV.</description>

		<description>&quot;This must be a dream. Hillary seems likeable and sane compared to Obama.&quot;

Shouldn&#039;t be a surprise.  Anyone even remotely associated with the Democrat Party is a complete moonbat freak.  

What was amazing about Obama was that he was able to hide this fact for so long.  

No longer.</description>

The Dhimms wish so desperately that 9/11 would just go away, they keep pretending there is no continuation, nothing to worry about &lt;em&gt;now&lt;/em&gt;.
I&#039;ve heard libs say 9/11 was a freak of success and it could never happen again.  What they refuse to believe is that our Republican government is doing all it can to prevent another attack.</description>
