Just kidding. Or warning. "Iran Leader OKs Talks With U.S. on Iraq," from AP:
TEHRAN, Iran - Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tuesday that he approves of talks between U.S. and Iranian officials on Iraq, but warned that the United States must not try to "bully" Iran....His comments came hours after President Bush spoke in favor of such a meeting, saying American officials would show Iran "what's right or wrong in their activities inside of Iraq."
Khamenei said that "if the Iranian officials can make the U.S. understand some issues about Iraq, there is no problem with the negotiations."
"But if the talks mean opening a venue for bullying and imposition by the deceitful party (the Americans), then it will be forbidden," he said in a speech in the northeastern city of Mashhad, aired on state television.
In other words, don't bully us, but we'll do our best to bully you.
Actress, cum geopolitical analyst, Sharon Stone assures us, "peace is only a breath away. ...And it really is just a breath. It's just an agreement that's just a breath. We are not far apart. We can choose to have this alternative kind of growth that is a collective nuance of understanding."
Hilarious.
"Sharon Stone....'peace is only a breath away. ...And it really is just a breath. It's just an agreement that's just a breath. We are not far apart.'"
-- from a posting above
Lot of heavy breathing going on by Sharon Stone in her analysis. Here's a thought. If Sharon Stone were to revert, and find a few fellow-Muslims as backup, and then find those places in the Muslim world where she could present her music as "folk music" that could get a pass from the authorities who would just look the other way about that ban on music, and if the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't get her, she could, with that singing group, travel to those places in the Arab Muslim world where those confined at home, when home is a place like Saudi Arabia, go to relax and let off steam.
A six-month run at some hotel in the Gulf, the kind where the non-materialism of Islam, the unmaterialism of those famously spiritual Muslims is on display, that non-materialism that is such a contrast to Western materialism especially on display in gold souks, and the jewellery souks, and the malls, with the leather-goods, and the shoes, and the dresses, and the suits, and the other malls, with all the other stuff, and then more malls, for whatever they forgot to put in the first two kinds of malls, and then the hotels where suites run for up to $100,000 a night, in Bahrain, or Dubai, and where a smash act, of a group "Sharon Stone and the Magic Wonderstones," could do boffo, could really clean up.
Speaking of those Gulf hotels, here are pics of what is supposedly the only 7-star hotel in the world (in Dubai). Click on "here" in the first paragraph:

Hugh-Isn't Sharon Stone an actress, not a musician? Maybe you're thinking of Sheryl Crow.
Seams that the iranis sent into Iraq some palis who planted a bomb just outside the Mosque in Najfa Which was disarmmed and there holiday went on and the mosque is still intac.
Just a little sh-t coming out of Iran??

Saddam's WMD and terrorist connections all proven in one document!!!
IZSP-2003-00003336
The Arabic original shows the Falcon emblem of the Iraq Intelligence Service. A translation is provided if you scroll down. I highlight the key wording but there is more:
March 11, 2003
The al-Quds liberation army division supplied us with information....as follows.
1. The Iraqi government will distribute the same leaflets that the American forces are distributing but it will contain anthrax.
2. Iraq imports uniforms resembling American forces uniforms for the purpose of killing Iraqi citizens....
3. Dig trenches around Baghdad...oil...burning...cause mayhem
Now this letter is from al-Quds, a Jihad organization that supports the Palestinians. Saddam was the patriarch and Iraq officers worked closely with them.
IZSP-2003-00000859 also talks about the al-Quds Basra division. This is a a letter from a paramilitary organization INSIDE Iraq and not from Palestinian territories. The al-Quds in Iraq are Palestinians who live in Iraq and also are involved in Palestinian activities. They fought for Saddam because Saddam supported them in Palestine. The officers were Iraqi.
The al-Quds are covering their own butts by telling the IIS what they have been ordered to do or even trying to get them to stop Saddam since the war is immanent. If Saddam wanted to kill Iraqis with anthrax to make it look like the U.S. did it, it would be wise for him to use Palestinians instead of Iraqis. Therefor, it makes sense that he ordered the al-Quds to do it.
Iraqis might not carry out the order.
They also would talk to their communities. the Palestinians would naturally be in more segregated ethic areas of Iraq, thus better security. Perhaps they would go back to the Palestinian territories when finished.
If Iraqis were caught by U.S. forces with the anthrax, then Saddam is caught. If the Palestinians were caught, he could deny it. See the post below on how he never admitted to using chemicals on the Iranians.
So these guys get this order and report it to the IIS to make clear it is not their idea.
The wording "the Iraqi Government" seems to indicate that they are clarifying that when they do this it will not be a Palestinian attack on the Iraqis but under the orders of Saddam. They also avoid saying "we will do it" in case things don't go Saddam's way. They don't want that in a record.
They don't want anybody at the IIS coming after them. They also realize Saddam might be setting them up to take the fall if it all goes bad. The IIS may not know about it.
It wouldn't take "stockpiles" of anthrax to do it, a few vials would be plenty.
This is the only logical reason why al-Quds would be telling the Iraq Intelligence Service what the Iraqi Government is going to do instead of the other way around.
When you think about it, it's very clever. Half the Arabs in the world would be all too eager to believe we used anthrax on Iraq. And the method of transmission would link it straight to us. The Jihad fighters we are facing now would be many times greater, enough to possibly save Saddam's regime.
It also would explain where some of that 17 tons of growth medium went as talked about in a post below.
Unless we see a translation that is different I think we have this:
Proof that Saddam had small amounts of anthrax.
Proof that Saddam would use non Iraqi terrorists to carry out a biological attack.
This is exactly the scenario that President Bush warned about, Saddam giving WMD to terrorists. This is the Mother of all Smoking Guns.
Update: Many of the new documents (released 3/20/2006) are marked PIR, Priority Information Request. Fedeyen Saddam was a PIR item in 2003, so many of them deal with that organization. It would seem Negroponte has switched from his plan to release the junk NIV and is now releasing the most important documents. Good for him!

Prospects of Terror: An Inquiry into Jihadi Alternatives (I)
The first campaigns of the Long War are drawing to a close. The Jihadis have lost the opening rounds. What next?
LONG WINDED BUT SOME GOOD READING!!
Catherine: 2+2=5 for very large values of "2."
Interesting observation about the "coincidental" reemergence of North Korea. The missiles they tested a few weeks back are said to be a "quantum leap" ahead of what they previously had, which raises the question of where the technology came from.

Hard to say if they're creating a strategic distraction for Iran, or if the "Dear Leader" is just jealous of another rogue state being showered with all that attention... ;)
there is a saying, about keeping your friends close and your enemies even closer.. that is what the US is doing with Iran..
YES 2=2 STILL =S 4

Oct.29,1956
In the meantime . . .
WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST!
Unfortunately for Hungary, the SUEZ CRISIS diverted the world's attention away from Hungary.
Egypt had nationalized the Suez Canal, and
the British, French, and Israelis were determined to keep their "oil lifeline," so Israel invaded Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
Oct.31,1956
Nov.5-6,1956
Britain and France bombed Egypt by air.
They sent in their land forces
NOW WHAT WAS THAT THE FRENCH PRESIDENT SAID ABOUT NUCKING SOMEONE AND AGAIN THE MULSUMS ROIT OVER JOBS IN FRANE OR IS IT IRAN AND TRYING TO UPSET THE FRENCH TO PUSH THEM INTO DIMMITUDE???
The real Q? should be what did egypt do to get the French so pissed in 1956??

Guess the Iranians need a little more time to build their arsenal (nuclear).
You'd think Bush would realise that the Japanese did this to his own country in "Peace talks" back in 1941 when they were talking "Peace" on one hand and preparing to bomb the crap out of Pearl Harbor on the other?????
If only the Japanese had oil money with which to "grease" congress/parliment......
Surely Bush can't be that dumb? Let alone his generals and advisors???
Hugh - she is a blonde. Wouldn't it be better if she "spread for peace" as one of those sex slaves that the Saudi's like to enjoy (and still raid Europe/Euro desendant countries for)????
Hugh, I'm sure she'd fit right in Hamas controlled territory . . . maybe lounging around in her Basic Instinc garb. I'm sure Hamas would like that a lot.
Let's face it, Robert needs to branch out.
It could be a 1914 warning. What about a 1452 warning? Too obscure? Perhaps a 1680ish, followed by a Seventh Century sneaking suspicion.
