This Is What You Get
March 26th, 2007 at 11:30 am by CrankyWhen you reflexively choose “peace” over force or the threat of force you get this:
Carter’s resolve not to do anything sent a clear message to Iran: It’s party time with American prestige and power in the world. The 53 hostages came home alive, and thousands of people have died since as a direct result of Iran’s boldness and deceit, including hundreds of Americans murdered in cold blood. Iran did not get the Shah, the original object of the hostage seizure, but it got the gift that just keeps giving. The knowledge it can flaunt international law and push around opponents well over its weight. It has been spreading terrorism throughout the Middle East ever since, sparking and fanning the flames of war.
Since Crittenden puts it better than I could, I’ll just have you follow the links. What else can I add except that Carter still sucks?

To me, this is the money shot:
“You’ve had your fun. If they are not free in two days, we will blockade your country. Nothing gets in or out. Two days after that, we will destroy your oil-producing infrastructure. We then have a very long list of your military, political and civilian infrastructure that supports your terrorist and nuclear ambitions that we will begin destroying. We do not intend to invade you. We have no need nor interest in doing so.”
Simply put, let’s quick dicking around with these a-holes. Let the moonbats scream…Blair should declare war and Bush has the authority to join him.
And the next time Ahmedinejad speaks in front of his raving loon countrymen, launch a cruise missle at the podium and take him out.

“What else can I add except that Carter still sucks?”
Some bolding of text at the end of that sentence?
