Well I said last night in a private journal how if we killed al-Qaeda operatives; that I supported the fast action on behalf of US intelligence to strike near the Afghan-Pakistani border, even if we didn’t get the #2. And it appears we were successful in at least some of those facets of intelligence!

Bravo everybody!

I’ve said before; not here, but elsewhere, that cover action would be the best way to deal with Iran. We don’t want an overt military conflict, and diplomacy is failing. So what do we do? Put those paramilitary units in the CIA to good work (I’d like to take this moment to say how much I support the men and women in the CIA– you get pushed around, smeared, and bullied in the press, but I thank you for your hard work on behalf of this country!). Now read what the WSJ had to say on it and tell me what you think.

I think that covert action is a dead-on policy and kudos to those who would carry it out.

There is some great discussion going on here in the comments section of the Belmont Club. I think most of the commenters all have good points and ideas, the important thing is the right combinations of all of the good points. I might explicate this further later.

Here’s some ‘future shock’ -esque predictions on what may occur these few years. If military action on Iran or by Israel against Iran would happen anywhere in 2008 I would laugh because I have a role-play character who predicted to her fiance on New Year’s of ‘08 that there would be action in a year– and bet him 20 galleons on it. ~_^

We’re loosing the war in Iraq, alright. Such a quagmire. Hell, this was reported by the LA Times!

Counterterrorism Blog has interesting stuff on the Saudis. They’re not our friends! Haven’t I said this enough?! BTW, this is must-read blog everyone! Should be one your daily reads list!

Well that’s all for now…

Someone remind me of why Iran’s pursuits of nuclear capabilities are not for arms, and are “peaceful“. If they were peaceful, Iran would say this why?

The situation in Iran is snowballing like no other. The Anti-Semitism and threats towards Israel are spilling hard and fast. The European community is talking big(ger) and carrying a rather small stick. And now, the regime is pulling off the IAEA seals from their Natanz plant. Two years I ago, I predicted that by 2008-2009, that we would have some kind of confrontation with Iran. I see that rapidly coming into the picture now. There are daily developments. And seeing the situation as it is, I am saying: we need a pre-emptive air strike. They’re not going to stop. Let’s move on now.

I bet my brother on new years that by the time the year was out, that Iran would either have a nuke or be extremely close to procuring one. I also predicted that there would be some kind of military conflict with Israel. Let’s see how that pans out. And let’s haul ass to get an internal revolution working on the inside.
