IRAN

Iran Leader: U.S. Should Give Up Nukes
By DIANA ELIAS Associated Press Writer

KUWAIT CITY (AP) -- Iran's president said Monday that his country supports calls for making the Middle East a nuclear arms-free zone, but he also urged the United States and Russia to give up all their atomic weapons as a threat to the region's stability.


Ok, and then next we will help Iran destroy Israel? I don't think our country is going to be taking orders from Iran anytime soon. But thanks for the suggestion President Ahmadinejad, we will not be taking it under advisement.

A little humor


“The picture shows that this soldier has been thru Survival School and learned his lessons well. He's giving the sign of "coercion" with his left hand. These hand signs are taught in survival school to be used by POW's as a method of posing messages back to our intelligence services who may view the photo or video. This guy was obviously being coerced into shaking hands with Hillary Clinton. It's ironic how little she knew that he would so inform us about the photo---perhaps because she's never understood our military to begin with.”

Just a funny email I received. No matter your political persuasion, you have to admit it is some “no-harm” humor.

Saddam is Smart... As he plays the Left like a fiddle.



We know you are “reporting for duty”, but the question to the Left is “Who is YOUR Commander-in-Chief”?


C.I.R. Press Editorial

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As new revelations come forward I know the left-wing will continue its denial of the entire danger called Iraq under the Saddam regime. Why is it so hard to understand that Saddam is smart, and of course I will be greeted with the quote of him saying “not from Iraq.” Of course not, the guy is psychotic but as I said smart. If he ordered forces of Iraq to attack the US, he is well aware that his country would be destroyed… Beyond recognition, and for the peace-nics, even more destroyed than it is now.

“If he had the WMDs why didn’t he use them?” If you think that question resolves any questions, and ends the debate, you are greatly mistaken. He speaks about the perfect set up would be: if attacked on the basis of WMDs that they would be hidden, then those against the war could be on his side. “The brave leader who was falsely attacked.” It was a very well played geo-political hand, but it only works because the Left and the media are unwilling to think that Saddam might have WMDs, and are unwilling to stand up behind words formed and signed in the United Nations. Either enforce it, or end it! The UN is a text book example of a SNAFU.

How many of you out there believe that the United States of America has nuclear weapons? How can you say that, I doubt you have ever seen a warhead with your own two eyes. You are willing to believe anything on the one side but when a country is violating UN #687 it is not possible and it is a fantasy of the right?

Saddam on Terrorism:
“what is it that we . . . consider this technique . . and use people involved with smuggling. . there were stories on smuggling.”

I will clear it up for you. Iraq sells or smuggles things to any given person in the world to attack US interests or the homeland. The job gets done, technically speaking not carried out by Saddam or his military. This sounds familiar. A lot like someone that enjoys telling people the best way to kill others, plans the event, but then sends others to do the real “work.” Why is it that people want to make this huge difference between Osama and Saddam. I am NOT saying they collaborated but I will not rule it out.

To top it off. Anyone that wishes to use Duelfer’s accounts of the SITREP in Iraq… When you make the argument there are no WMDs because he says so. Please include:

"A lot of materials left Iraq and went to Syria," Duelfer said. "There was certainly a lot of traffic across the border points. We've got a lot of data to support that, including people discussing it. But whether in fact in any of these trucks there was WMD-related materials, I cannot say."

I am sure they were just trucks of sand, oil, or … or …. or … COME ON! Wake up and smell the coffee.

In conclusion of this piece... I would agree with Saddam! He actually blows the lefts argument out of the water. Why is that? Because President Bush NEVER started this war (technically 41 did). For all those calling Bush a liar and saying he started an illegal war, he is only continuing the one started in early ‘90’s. Let Saddam tell you:

“So we have not lost the war. And we were not defeated. You know that the fighting that went on continued -- between us and Iran -- continued for eight years. Iran lost battles to us and we lost battles to them. But how do you calculate things? You measure things by the final results.”

President Bush did not start the war, he is finishing it. As the Right loves to say, the Left will be found on the wrong side of history.

N.S.A. (Never Screw Around)

C.I.R. URGENT UPDATE

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Finally a few Senators stood up and started to grasp the essence behind the intelligence community.

The non-sense of blasting everything all over the airwaves in hearings on the hill are gone. Congress is one of the biggest threats to national security. Not by intent, but as a system that must play politics to stay in place, many times they fall shy of taking a strong stand. Then there are those in Congress that do appear to have a hatred towards the intel community and military.

Senator Feingold, who takes great pride in having voted against the Patriot Act has continued to try and diminish the American fight against terrorism. He of course lost that fight. Lost the fight in trying to destroy progress made by the NSA, and now will lose the fight to stop the Patriot Act from being renewed.

Moral of the story, when the Democrats lose… America wins.

60 Minutes (is too long!)

C.I.R. Press Editorial

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Of course the lead in to the story involves “the many injured with head trauma, etc. like Woodruff.” Of course the journalist injured is the one to be the most concerned about. I only watched 60 minutes for this segment. I guess in general Wallace was pretty cordial to the guests, although his usual treatment might be frowned upon when used on disabled vets.

I am not going to drag this out, Wallace makes my point for me… Some simple facts of the segment: it involved 5 specific soldiers, 4 who support the war. (Spare me if you think that was unfair since they spend the rest of their time bashing the current administration.) I only did this with Tivo in my office so my timing very well may not be exact. As the story continued and spoke about what they wanted to do with their lives now, most spoke about helping disabled vets or people in general. Each supporting the war was given ~2 minutes time, the one against the war (whose goal was to fight the administration, and helped Cindy Sheehan) was interviewed last and given 4 minutes of time.

Ok, I admit you can say I am nit-picking. Say what you want, it spoke volumes to me. But what really hit me was Mr. Wallace’s question to a female who lived in a coma for months and with half her skull removed. As she spoke about helping others the conversation ended with:

“I’m still a soldier at heart”

“You’re still a what,” demanded Wallace!?!

“I’m still a soldier”, Jessica responded in a strong tone demanding respect.

Instead she was greeted with an astonished “you must be bullshitting me” look from Wallace. Just another time I saw a liberal, who has been part of the media for years, amazed that someone doesn’t give up on their leaders when faced with difficulty. God bless you Jessica!

Castro and His 2nd Cold War.

C.I.R. Press Editorial

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- There is a new Cold War and, what good Cold War doesn't involve a missile crisis? Of course like any good show the second one has to be better. The first Cold War involved 2 countries, the missile crisis introduced a 3rd party player for a short time. I now introduce the players.

Nothing better than to pick up where we left off. Russia, land of well, snow. They spent many years toe-to-toe with us and now plan to again. I understand the people out there saying "no...no" you are being over-dramatic! Am I?

"President Vladimir Putin boasted Tuesday that Russia has
new missiles capable of penetrating any missile defense system and said he had briefed the French president on their capabilities."

So glad that Russia and France are becoming good buddies. I guess it fits since "
France secretly upgrades capacity of nuclear arsenal" as I suppose they want some way to be able to puff their tiny little chest out. But as Russia has continued over the past months to talk about the new amazing missiles they have created, what is the one fact always included in the statements? The new ability to pierce any anti-missile system. Now I ask you to stop reading for a moment and think, how many countries around the world have even mentioned, much less actually have a missile defense system? Only the good old US of A. So Putin is proud of a missile that may or may not carry nuclear weapons and is able to violate US airspace.

Russia is developing a missile to hit the United States homeland.

Well it has been established that there is little chance of a major power using an ICBM. So the end result is a situation that is not great but containable, Putin is a sane man. So I thought until I ran across "Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday
he intended to invite to Moscow the leaders of the Islamic militant group Hamas, which won Palestinian elections last month."

The man developing missiles to strike CONUS, has decided it would be dandy to establish a good relationship with Hamas. Of course, why not that is good. I like my nuclear powers hanging out with terrorist organizations.

As not to confuse all, let's stay on RED. China comes in to the picture, this is a short segment since I tell you this technology is unlikely to be up and running next week, if at all. It is not so much the idea that it will be running next week, or at all. It is the simple fact that Red China is thinking about the idea of blowing our satellites out of "the sky."

Then we have our cherry on top so to speak.

We have our lunatic new President of Iran, as we all now know that the Holocaust never happened, and his right to have nuclear weapons. Which would make sense, for that would make it much easier for him to destroy Israel.

People like him you just wish he would stick where he is and we could contain him, but to bring the whole story full circle...

Drum roll please!



"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has reportedly accepted an invitation to visit Cuba from President Fidel Castro, in gratitude for Cuba's support of Iran's nuclear program."

Ahh back to the sunny paradise 90 miles south of the Keys, where the most intense standoff of the Cold War I took place. And no better reason for Castro to support him, not because of a communist connection, not becuase he "hates Bush", but because of his support of a nuclear program.

In conclusion, am I saying there will be Russian missiles, with nuclear tips from Iran, smuggled unseen because China will have blinded our satellites? No. But the problem exists that there are many problems that need to be covered.

Many of these problems will not be resolved with words in the United Nations, they will be resolved just like they were in the Cold War... We are bigger than you! We can destroy you quicker than you can us. If anything the fact that Russia in some form is involved is a nice aspect, you can deal with a country that cares about itself, like Russia, more than one like Iran that is willing to make all people of Iran suicide bombers by using a nuclear weapon knowing they will be blown off the face of the earth.

Two words for you...

Filthy Morons.

Yes, murder is a crime.
However, war is: "a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations."



So let me get this right, on top of burning a flag (which pisses me off to the n'th degree), you have altered the flag which is illegal. Granted it was probably never an actual US flag. But by burning it and the symbols found in the "union" you hate the USA. Why are you still here?

The people shown want nothing to do with the following:

CBS, Playboy, Coca-Cola, ABC, Camel, Microsoft, Sprint, (forget), Apple, Nike, ATT, (unkown), Warner Brothers, (unknown), (unknown), Intel, Pizza-Hut, McDonalds, Xerox, Adobe, IBM, General Electric, Microsoft (again), Bell, Shell, (unknown), NBC, Pepsi, Compaq

No computers, no soda, no shoes, no electricity, no phone, no movies, no TV. These people would fit in great with the Taliban!


I doubt he cares one bit about how many limbs are missing, he just hates POTUS. As for why he (POTUS) has not attended a funeral is because it takes away from the fallen soldier. I would ask this man how many funerals has he been to?

Joint Chiefs Send Rare Protest Letter

Credit: The Washington Post/TOLES 2006
I beg for someone to defend this cartoon, and say that the Joint Chiefs of Staff did not have a right, if not duty, to stand up for those uder their command. Things like this are legal and people are free to do so... Just because one is free to do something does not mean they should. It is this type of thing that is just sick, I am speechless... Is this really the Government trying to censor?
