Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!![]() Subscribe![]() CategoriesPagesTagsacademy

If international relations were poker, that would be the tell from hell.
In the words of Ms Bette Davis: “Fasten your seat belt,….”
Yeah, it pays to get your story straight so that after you drop the hammer everyone speaks with one voice. It’s too bad the Obama Administration is not onboard because they will need the most hand holding after the smoke clears, you know because “talking” is such a more affective method to get Iran to come in line.
BT: Jimmy T sends.
It’s coming. The Israelis can’t afford to gamble that Iran won’t do anything dog-butt crazy if/when they get a functioning nuke. The mullahs’ cheese has slid too far off their collective cracker.
Let’s just hope that when the clock ticks Noon, WunWhoWon stays consistent and votes ‘Present’. His casting a ‘Nay’ vote against an Israeli agenda item would prove somewhat problematic on any number of levels.
Yup. We absolutely have the wrong man in the White House this time around. POTUS is so focused on what’s going on INSIDE the house, that he hasn’t noticed the great storm brewing OUTSIDE.
Let’s pray the rest of us can keep damage to a minimum.
Yup+
Eisenhower could afford to tell the French and British to knock it off in their invasion of Egypt–and have both nations listen and take him seriously–because he was the man who defeated Nazi Germany. Obama? Well my God….
Whilst I concur that this reeks of a serious pre-op brief, one has to wonder about the other message it sends; namely “listen you Iranians a$$holes, fire and brimstone is heading your way”. But nothing like advertising the first strike to ensure you get the warm reception desired. Can the russkies get the s-400 Triumf on site in time?
Maybe Obama can give one of is stirring, eloquent speeches and the Israeli’s will miraculously see the light.
Or the Iranians will see a light of a different kind, courtesy of the Israeli’s.
Bets?
I know which way you’re betting, and I’ll cover it.
How are the Iranians on gun control? Can we send ‘em any? For to encourage les autres… and to interest them in our 2nd amendment rights, per chance?
