The US military ran several war games against Iran and didn't get the result they wanted. That usually means "defeat" by another name.
Iran is no pushover. An air force with 300+ combat aircraft and F-14s is formidable.

Old Capitol Steps ditty (from ca. 1984 -- I remember it was on the same record (an LP!) as a bunch of Mondale jabs):
Don't build the bomb, Argentina
If you build it, you might explode it
If you show ill will,
You know Brazil will
While you are waiting, deliberating.
Don't steal the bomb, North Dakota,
To use against South Dakota
Or Minnesota,
Or Manitoba,
Just let it lie low, inside its silo.
Those are alliterations, not neologisms. They seem quite witty! I would say pessemist has a greater than average IQ, especially since intelligent people, in general, possess the creativity to use words in novel and amusing ways.
Schizophrenia? Not even close.
Posted by phidipides at September 23, 2004 10:46 PMHello Shotzie! Sorry, your polls are still wrong. Kerry now has the lead in W VA! I tell my pal in Corporate ACC about you, and he rolls!
Okay Shotzie. Here's the tough part. You republi-cons and neo-cant’s have had both houses, the judiciary, and the presidency for some time now. What are your accomplishments? Remember, you can't blame anything on Democrats because it's all been you guyses deal-eeo. You are the majority!
Let me see, what have you done:
Bailed on Afghanistan to go to Iraq letting Old Sammy escape...and he's the guy who wants nukes! You fucks set us up to get nuked!
You will not deal with terrorists...unless it’s North Korea. And they have nukes! You fucks are setting us up to get nuked by a second source!
You are fiscal conservatives so we get 2 trillion (That’s $2,000,000,000,000.00) in deficit spending. You are pillaging the country!
You are compassionate...so veterans, soldiers, women, children, the aged, students, and poor get services cut, and then you tax the poor to feed the rich. I know I will burn in hell, but if there is a God, when I peer at my feet being held over the charcoal brazier you bastards will be peering back at me from the coals.
Posted by phidipides at September 23, 2004 10:48 PMBrazil? Saber rattling against Lula would make overthrowing Chavez a bit easier. Always had trouble with the fourth in my Four More Wars slogan - and never considered Brazil, but unless they can manage a coup, they will simply not have the troops necessary to fight all these wars. And those idiots who believe GWB is making them safer will quickly change their tune as soon as they realize that GWB expects them to put their butts on the line for him.
