blow up all the bridges
blow up the one refinery
blow up all the oil wells
blow up all the dams
blow up the water ports
sink the navy (again)
blow up every piece of military equipment that exists in Iran

Okay, now you Iranians can use your money for something other than murdering innocent people throughout the world. Now you can use it to rebuild your country over the next 50 years.

No troops on the ground, just H-E.

But Iran is not the only country that needs new refineries–how about the good old US of A? What will McCain do about that?

Given things that he has since said and associations that he has kept, I would say that he fibbed again.

Given that Barry O fully intends to sell America to the highest bidder for the greater good(TM) of the State, I’ll take my chances on McAmnesty.

We KNOW John McCain. Barack Obama is so mind-numbingly ignorant, stupid, cowardly, and pathetic that there is no telling what he could do. So utterly inept is Barack Obama that he could singlehandedly destroy half the world through sheer incompetence alone, never-mind that the destabalization of Western society is actually one of his goals!

John McCain at least inspires me from time to time, and I know he has served his country honorably and continues to honor the men and women who fight for this country.

Obama is just a shiny black token for the Democrats to raise up. As Thomas Sowell made so readily clear: Obama is just a mascot.

McCain afterwards acknowledged that the overwhelming public pressure brought to bear had informed him that Americans completely disagreed with the plan, and that he would no longer support it, as a result.

This speech is a clear example of how the the “flock” follow the herder.

Foremost in all our minds is the threat posed by the regime in Tehran. The Iranian president has called for Israel to be “wiped off the map” and suggested that Israel’s Jewish population should return to Europe.

He can blather on all he wants. He has no power to initiate military action, he does not control foreign policy, he does not control nuclear policy. McCain is misleading the American people by trying to convince them that Ahmadinejad has the power to make good on his threats. He has no such power.

If Israel thought they was a legitimate threat, they’d take action (and they might). But Israel’s security concerns are not our security concerns. Israel is an independent country, and we need to stop trying to pull its strings and stop taking their struggles on as our struggles. Let’s talk about the threat that Iran poses to the United States of America. That’s the only thing that is our concern.

That’s what the Democrat constituencies of blacks, Hispanics and white women are doing. With a black man and a white woman going down to the wire in the Donk contest, how can it be otherwise? You have the black Democrats,…

How about something to “reassure” the pro-American “lobby”. You know the one that does not want tens of millions of people illegally in America with all the damage that is doing. How ’bout that?

This speech seals my vote for McAmnesty as well (agreeing with Limerick), despite my wrenching discomfort over his illegal immigrant positions. HOWEVER – I remember well last year when the massive grass-roots’ fax/email/phonecall campaign stopped the “comprehensive amnesty” plan in its tracks, not just once, but several times.

McCain afterwards acknowledged that the overwhelming public pressure brought to bear had informed him that Americans completely disagreed with the plan, and that he would no longer support it, as a result.

I read that as a wise man who has shown willingness to change his mind, when he hears from enough of us en masse. As long as we take our grass-roots responsibilities seriously during a McCain presidency and ACT when necessary, I believe we can prevail, even on amnesty.

McCain’s speech today was perfect. His history with Israel goes back to 1979.

I have the impression that Barry O does not like to travel overseas!

June 2nd

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted on Monday that Muslims would uproot “satanic powers” and repeated his controversial belief that Israel will soon disappear, the Mehr news agency reported.

“I must announce that the Zionist regime (Israel), with a 60-year record of genocide, plunder, invasion and betrayal is about to die and will soon be erased from the geographical scene,” he said.

“Today, the time for the fall of the satanic power of the United States has come and the countdown to the annihilation of the emperor of power and wealth has started.”

Since taking the presidency in August 2005, Ahmadinejad has repeatedly provoked international outrage by predicting Israel is doomed to disappear.

“I tell you that with the unity and awareness of all the Islamic countries all the satanic powers will soon be destroyed,” he said to a group of foreign visitors ahead of the 19th anniversary of the death of revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Ahmadinejad also again expressed his apocalyptic vision that tyranny in the world be abolished by the return to earth of the Mahdi, the 12th imam of Shiite Islam, alongside great religious figures including Jesus Christ.

“With the appearance of the promised saviour… and his companions such as Jesus Christ, tyranny will be soon be eradicated in the world.”

Ahmadinejad has always been a devotee of the Mahdi, who Shiites believe disappeared more than a thousand years ago and who will return one day to usher in a new era of peace and harmony.

His emphasis on the Mahdi has been a cause of controversy inside Iran with critics saying he would be better solving bread-and-butter domestic problems rather than talking about Iran’s divine responsibility.

Maybe Ahmadinejad believes that Obama is the Mahdi…

Sealed my vote.

Limerick on June 2, 2008 at 10:31 AM

Yeah. Just read it again and it’s even better the second time.

His speech will reassure the pro-Israeli lobby

Love that song, Obama not so much.

I would also like Obama to explain his rhetoric about defunding future military weapon systems, the same technology which is helping to win the wars, much of it borrowed from, or shared by, Israel.

Obama has it in his head that he can use the same tactics with Iran that have worked for him in Chicago: bribery and under the table dealing. The man is a fool.

Bishop on June 2, 2008 at 11:17 AM

Obama was obviously not able to accomplish much in the world of Chicago politics beyond getting himself elected. Of course, that appears to be his entire raison d etre, so perhaps he has been ultimately successful.

may have misspelled the french…srry

McCain on Iran: Obama still doesn’t know the history

Well now that may be, but McCain doesn’t seen to even know the present, as he just recently said that we were down to pre-surge troop levels in Iraq, when in fact we are still well above those levels.

I dunno, either way, Obama or McCain, we’re just so damned scroomed.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

Any which way you turn this empty suit, disaster falls out.

Thanks my friend.

With all the controversy’s surrounding Obama’s advisers and his hidden Marxist agenda, maybe the mainstream media will allow the vetting process to finally begin.

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: John McCain will address AIPAC’s Policy Conference today, speaking on the subjects of Israel, Iran, and Iraq, and laying out his views on the most critical foreign-policy issues facing the next administration. Catch McCains en…
