Ron Kessler has an article in Newsmax quoting Senator Bond about what Iran is really up to. I respect and trust Senator Bond's judgement, certainly much more than I trust the Intelligence community.
This guy is too funny. He wants to observe because he doesn't think we will want to vote for President Bush again. I guess someone forgot to tell him that the President isn't running again.
A very thoughtful article about Iran. I think all Americans will agree that we need to move very slowly with this country.
So what else is new? This guy has been stonewalling everyone for years.
This certainly doesn't come as a surprise, but it could mean major trouble for the United States.
The President of Iran could get a job as a comedian in the United States.
Captain's Quarters has a good article about Iran and the lies they have told the rest of the world about their nuclear program.
President Bush met with French President Nicolas Sarkozy today and they agreed that Iran should not have nuclear weapons. Finally, a friend in France.
Iran dismissed the possibility of a U.S. military strike against the country Monday and said Tehran was ready to consider a new round of talks with Washington on security in Iraq.
Frank Rich has an interesting op-ed in the New York Times. I think he is on the money with his analysis. But only to the extent that the liberal Democrats will fall into the trap set by the much smarter Bush administration. Iran will become a big issue in the 2008 election, and if the Democrats react predictably, they could very well lose the White House.
Late Thursday night Barack Obama introduced a resolution that claims President Bush does not have the authority to use military force against Iran. I'm sure the terrorists love to read this kind of garbage.
Iran warned the United States it would find itself in a "quagmire deeper than Iraq" if it attacked the Islamic state. I think everyone in our country knows that the last thing we need is another war, but I seriously doubt that our military would be very frightened of Iran.
An Iranian naval commander said his forces are willing to carry out suicide missions when facing enemy forces in the Persian Gulf. That doesn't really surprise me.
general Petraeus says the biggest long term challenge for Iraq may be sectarian fighting among militias fueled by Iran.
Now this nut case says that the nuclear issue of Iran is now closed and Iran will disregard UN resolutions imposed and demanding suspension of its uranium enrichment. Surprise, Surprise!!
Ed Morrissey at Captains Quarters put this in perspective. A lot of us thought this would happen. Here is what the Iranian state news agency reported on Ahmadinejad's speech:
Despite entire US media objections, negative propagation and hue and cry in recent days over IRI President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's scheduled address at Colombia University, he gave his lecture and answered students questions here on Monday afternoon.
On second day of his entry in New York, and amid standing ovation of the audience had attended the hall where the Iranian President was to give his lecture as of early hours of the day, Ahmadinejad said that Iran is not going to attack any country in the world.
Before President Ahamadinejad's address, Colombia University Chancellor in a brief address told the audience that they would have the chance to hear Iran's stands as the Iranian President would put them forth.
He said that the Iranians are a peace loving nation, they hate war, and all types of aggression.
Referring to the technological achievements of the Iranian nation in the course of recent years, the president considered them as a sign for the Iranians' resolute will for achieving sustainable development and rapid advancement.
The audience on repeated occasion applauded Ahmadinejad when he touched on international crises.
At the end of his address President Ahmadinejad answered the student's questions on such issues as Israel, Palestine, Iran's nuclear program, the status of women in Iran and a number of other matters.
One of the most respected conservative columnists, Cal Thomas has an excellent article in Real Clear Politics about the sham presented yesterday at Columbia University. As Mr. Thomas said, he would not be as bothered by the Columbia Administration's action if they and other like minded universities had a consistent policy toward those they invited to speak. Mr. Thomas has it right.
Even the Washington Post, and Dana Milbank, one of the most liberal media types in Washington occasionally get a story corret. Milbank pointed out that Ahmadinejad said "for hundreds of years, we've lived in friendship and brotherhood with the people of Iraq." As Milbank says, that's true as long as they don't count the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s when a million people died. And of course there's the little matter of the 500 years of fighting during the Ottoman Empire. Milbank went on to point out some of the other ridiculous remarks made by Ahmadinejad regarding their treatment of women, and his claim that Iran doesn't have any homosexuals. Although I don't like to recommend to anyone that they read Milbank, who is a real hack, or the liberal WaPo, this article is the exception, and I recommend that you read it.
The Wall Street Journal has an excellent op-ed by Bret Stephens in which he deals with the arrogance and conceit of the Columbia Administration, specifically referring to the remarks of John Coatsworth, acting dean of Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, when the Dean said "if Hitler were in the United States and ...if he were willing to engage in a debate and a discussion to be challenged by Columbia students and faculty, we would certainly invite him." WOW!!! the sheer arrogance of that statement is almost overwhelming, especially if you watched the pitiful performance of the faculty of Columbia and the student body. They should be ashamed of themselves.
My good friend John LeBoutillier has another good article about the terrorist President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He correctly points out that no one, not the White House, not Congress, not the mainstream media, not talk radio, not even Fox News ever mentions that most of the remaining 52 American hostages from the 1979 crime against our embassy people in Iran are certain that Ahmadinejad was one of their captors. Read John's article at www.Newsmax.com. As always, he raises the issues that everyone else is afraid to talk about.
