Does the President of the United States of America not understand that we have been at war with Iran since November 4, 1979?

Quick, someone find Cheney, tell him to put the Darth Vader helmet back on, and clue Lil' Bush in.

The Sun in the UK is reporting that the Iranians are shuttling Iranian troops into Iraq to attack the Brits.

This follows the illegal seizure of British marines in international waters a couple of months ago, attempts to do the same to some Aussie sailors before that, new evidence of complicity in the Gaza takeover by Hamas, General Petraeus shouting from the rooftops about Iranian arming of AQI (Al Qaeda in Iraq), and, oh, the Iranian nuclear (nucular for those of you from Midland, TX, Lil' Bush) program.

When will Lil' Bush and Condi and Bobby "I had no idea Saddam would invade Kuwait" Gates stop smoking the Humboldt and playing Ina Gada Davida on the Situation Room hi-fi and man up?  Did they cut your cajones off in November when you fired Rummy, Mr. President?

Iran has been at war with us for almost 28 years.  And they are gearing up for round seven or eight right now.  They are pushing through the Levant, they killing our guys in Iraq AND Afghanistan, and they are flipping the bird to you right now.  (Trust me... tell the National Reconaissance Office to switch satellite to KH-125 to geo-orbit 12, and dial down the small aperture lens.  It's the dial on the panel right above the "Listen to Hillary yet at Bill" button.  There is an Iranian standing in the courtyard of the old embassy -- he's holding his hand up.  Yup, that is his middle finger.  And -- it is the one on his LEFT hand.  That is even worse. Note:  Muslims think the left hand is dirty, because they only use their left hand to wipe their rears.)

Give the Iranians a couple Chinese diesel-electric subs, and pretty soon, you are looking at the bad version of a JAG Episode.

We can begin fixing this problem.  It's not hard.  It turns out that the Iranians sit on a pool of oil, but they can't refine it. So let's do the following:

  1. Bomb the crap out of their Kharg Island terminal. No more gasoline.
  2. Blockade the crap out of outgoing petroleum.  Seize any we want. (Hey, if we are going to be accused of spilling blood for oil, let's at least get some oil!)
  3. Let's pull the USS New Jersey out of mothballs, load up the magazines, and park that old battlewagon right on the Iranian coast, and lob a few VW bugs into Qom.

We don't need to invade.  Let's just send the country into chaos.  We are good at that.  Let's do what we are good at. After all-- how worse can the situation really get?  They have been killing Americans for almost thirty years.   Isn't it time we stopped them?

And then what?!
First of all, as a people, they have been "at war" with us since we overthrew their democratically elected leader in 1953 and reinstalled the Shah to do our (well - our oil companies') bidding. Without that slick move, and Carter's half-assed offer of asylum to his ailing highness in 1979, we wouldn't be have to be staring them down in the manner we are just now.
That said, if we're going to stick it out for another couple of years in Iraq while Lil Bush tries to save face, we are compelled to respond to Iranian meddling in Iraq's affairs.
What will come of it is a burden we should not have had to bear, but we will, and the results may do more to illustrate the folly of our Middle Eastern policies, especially since the 1967 Arab Isreali war, than it will to resolve any of these issues.
I'd rather it be otherwise, but my prediction - if we move on Iran, things will only get worse.
