   The picture is faked, IRI showed it as a proof of american involvement. Now, tell me, how believable are other claims about the same terrorist attack when the main proof (i.e. photo) is faked?

   I think it’s cool we still make remote controls. Who knew?

   Vince,
   I am sure they were made in China! ;)

   Interesting article.
   But “anti-Iranian terrorist group”? I think someone is writing a new bestseller.

   I saw a show the BBC did on Iran.

   Let me say, that here in America , WE NEVER get this point of view. All we get are the dark, negative images of demostrations, etc. We’re told the Iranian people are not hostile to America and we believe that.. now I can see how that relates to real life.

   I wish the world isn’t the way it is. It’s really a tragedy.

   Bye the bye, Archer. As we’ve discussed before, I note that the CVA Stennis is now on station in Persian Gulf waters as of yesterday.

   Trainer-

   that makes three, right?

   All-

   Are you aware of the consensus among many Iraqis that Americans and British forge ’sectarian violence’ in Iraq. The most famous example cited is the Basra Sept. 2005 incident which John Pilger wrote about: http://www.newstatesman.com/200510030009

   I also think this article is relevant, the hi-light for me is the small percentage of Iranians involved in Iraq compared to other trouble-making foreign groups - prompting the question ‘why Iran?’

   Then we note that the war plans against Iran were drawn up *long* ago, before this chatter of Qods.

   I’m no authority, just a reader, so please tell me what you think of these articles.

    Keep in mind it’s not us (or US) that they’re trying to convince… this is the marketing war, not the one with bullets. Everything between now and then is about convincing mom, dad and little baby Irshad that your country is the biggest victim. And so far Iran is winning this particular war, even without having someone in Tehran who knows how to used PhotoShop.
    I don’t like self-promotion but I wrote this a while ago, you might it find interesting:

    Hope you don’t mind, Kamangir, but I used some of your information to make this poster:

    It’s not pretty.

    Ella: I think non-Iranian is a code word for Balouchestanes(sunnis near Pakistan border), Azarbijanese (the turks in the north), and Khuzestanis (arab-Iranians in the south near Iraq borders). The US is learning how to do a proxy war Iranain sytle.

    Trainer,
    You are joking, right?

    MASSIVE ATTACK ON IRAN ‘ANY DAY’
    US contingency plans for air strikes on Iran extend beyond nuclear sites and include most of the country’s military infrastructure, the BBC has learned according to New Statesman.

    Also on the way, or already there, is the strike group led by the assault ship USS Bataan. The Bataan, by the way, is part of a new class of ships designed to accomplish amphibious landings.
    Nor will these be the only ships available to the Admiral Fallon:

    Two carriers in the region, the USS John C Stennis and the USS Dwight D Eisenhower, could quickly be joined by three more now at sea: USS Ronald Reagan, USS Harry S Truman and USS Theodore Roosevelt, as well as by USS Nimitz. Each carrier force includes hundreds of cruise missiles…
    Today, marines have the USS Boxer and USS Bataan carrier forces in the Gulf and probably also the USS Kearsarge and USS Bonhomme Richard. Three others, the USS Peleliu, USS Wasp and USS Iwo Jima, are ready to join them. Earlier this year, HQ staff to manage these forces were moved from Virginia to Bahrain.

    American military operations for a major conventional war with Iran could be implemented any day. They extend far beyond targeting suspect WMD facilities and will enable President Bush to destroy Iran’s military, political and economic infrastructure overnight using conventional weapons.

    Paleo,
    Great job! Thanks!

    yes, you also you forgot Kurds in Kordestan, Kermanshah and West Azarbaijan. But if americans are learning proxy-war from Iran their present efforts are very amateurish compared with, say, Hizbullah. Also if they do that, they are backing very unreliable groups who can attack IRI but may at any time turn against US.
