Striking Iran

 Son of Deepthroat

Since E.D.Hill left Fox and Friends I've been searching for a wake-up audio.  Recently I chose Jim Quinn's morning XM broadcast (also available on AM in some areas, and on the internet).  I've listened to Quinn for 10 years off and on, and like his style.  Anyway, Quinn has a source he calls "Son of Deepthroat," who basically supplies White House gossip. Of course you never know how valid these sources are, but at least in one recent situation throat appears to have been spot on.

Two weeks ago I used his basic tip to do a Schlongalysis about the decision to strike Iran having been made.  Today I learned that several other talk show hosts were privy to this info, but sworn to secrecy.  Because Quinn was not there, he had no idea about how sensitive this was, and went with it.  When word spread that Quinn had gone with a supposedly embargoed story,  the White House was bombarded with complaints from those who'd remained silent.  

The White House was not upset, but rather viewed a leak from a second tier talk show as a good trial balloon.  Given Bush's fanatical attitude about leaks, however, I'd of thought that a search for Deepthroat's identity would be full blown and underway, but throat is still submitting as of today.   Bottom line,  the Administration has now assigned two people to listen to Quinn's show.  I loved his response-  "Gah! I've created two government jobs!  I want to  kill myself!

Moving on ... at the time Quinn said to watch the media. for a sudden ratcheting up of anti-Iran talk.  So, of course, this was a very interesting development, eh wot?

France's Sarkozy raises prospect of Iran airstrikes

I'd say the fireworks are about to begin.

Good. It's in our best interests and it's the only way to keep Israel safe.

Have you seen this gem yet?
Ahmadinnerjacket is ready to have Iran "step in" in Iraq as the American effort is failing. I sometimes wonder if the whole Iraq deal was a big setup by the star and crescent crowd to get us mired in an out and out confrontation with them, knowing full well the concequences around the globe. Nah, I don't think they have the intelligence to do that, do you?

I think he's going to be too busy picking up what's left of his country to mess in Iraq.

Is that you Goth?

I can see it now. Aircraft with French markings flatten Iran's military and nuclear bases. Nobody believes them. "French aircraft attacked you? Riiiiggghhhtttt. And did bunny rabbits follow up with commando strikes?"

The only problem will be getting American pilots to put French markings on their planes.

They don't have to turn Iran into glass, as pleasing and 28 years overdue as that thought is. Just a few well-placed JDAMS in certian experimental facilities. This does several things:
1. Put the brakes on the nuke development,
2. let the hot air out of Dinnerjacket's rhetoric,
3. show 'em we're serious and give him a taste of what he'll get if sets foot in Iraq.

Pesonally, I think Iran should get the same treatment as DPRNK: a nuclear "accident" at one of their facilities. Then we scold them and say "See, you didn't know what you were playing with. Now play nice." Of course they will say we did it, but if they had a real accident they would still blame it on us. Give 'em one.
