After a talk with Quinn

Schlongalysis

Time Line July 30  Brit PM Gordon Brown stuns leftists expecting him to tell President Bush the Brits are out of Iraq, and instead says "U.S. is Britain's 'most important' ally." ” Aug 1 Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Rahm Emanuel reportedly holds conclave with selected democrats and lays out strategy of distancing the party from the Reid-Pelosi leadership disaster. Aug 14 The White House decides to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (Qods) as a terrorist group. This, a calculated move that tells the mostly pro-US Iranian population that it is Ahmadinejad, not they, whom we are about to smite. Schlongalysis Bush laid out for Brown a point by point analysis of the "surge policy's" effectiveness.  Brown was convinced.  At the same time Brown is advised that the US  has decided to hit targets in Iran, and Brown signs on .  Later, French president Nicolas Sarkozy gets the same briefing and he too enlists, as does Israel. Designating Qods as terrorists is final notice to Iran to back off  now or face the consequences. Targets in Iran have been identified, and the only thing that can stop the attacks is Ahmadinejad's acquiescence, which seems quite unlikely. Emanuel's democrats will also be on board because it gives Donks the opportunity to say, "See, we're not a party of cheese eating surrender monkeys," -- a huge lift going into the '08 elections.
