What Did I Just Say?
God, I’m good. I believe it was just yesterday I said of Iran that whoever had the most guns would win.
Bang-bang, you’re dead (or will be, soon enough):
The top leaders of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard publicly acknowledged they had taken over the nation’s security and warned late Sunday that there was no middle ground in the ongoing dispute over the reelection of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a threat against a reformist wave led by Mir-Hossein Mousavi.
Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander of the elite military branch, said the Guard’s takeover of the country had led to “a revival of the revolution and clarification of the value positions of the establishment at home and abroad.”
Now, maybe the ayatollahs in Qum are going to give hell to these young whippersnappers, but I still bet on the AK-47 over the Koran.
[O]pposition figures and protesters are preparing for massive nationwide rallies called for Thursday, the 10th anniversary of a 1999 attack by pro-government militiamen on the dormitories of Tehran University that led to weeks of political unrest.
As the Los Angeles Times reports, they won’t be alone, either. The Muslim scholars from which Ali Khamenei and the Guardian Council draw their religious legitimacy have called the election “illegitimate” over the weekend. That puts the IRGC on a collision course with the Qum masters and a religious scholarship set up my Ruhollah Khomeini himself.
If the Qum community backs the protests on Thursday, that could lead to an irreparable split between Khamenei and his religious allies. It would force Khamenei to put aside his claims of divine authority and rule as a military dictator, backed by the muscular IRGC.
With respect to the inestimable Ed Morrissey, it’s not about religion. I’m not sure it ever was, and certainly not for a long, long time. Iran is a police state. Maybe Sharia provides the legal code, but fascism is the method by which it is enforced.
If there were any homosexuals there, you could ask them—if the rope around their neck isn’t too tight.

Lets see how good you really are ,predict when the Israelis will attack Iran ?
I personally think that they are waiting for North Korea to attack the South (or Japan) then Iran will seem like a side show. The next prediction I would like to see is the response…………..Gas missiles on Tel Aviv? a general raining down of missiles from Lebanon and Iran ? blocking the Straits of Hormuz? In any event I think buying up gold and fuel NOW would be prudent.

Joe, I’ve been waiting for that day for so long, I’m way past predicting when it will arrive (though I did note that both Joe Biden and some sheikh in Araby made encouraging noises to Israel).
Now that you’ve damned me to hell for all eternity for the sin of idolotry, Elixir, perhaps you can tell me what the punishment is for HUMORLESSNESS and MISSING THE POINT. Cause you got both bad.
Peace out.

I had no quarrel with your CONTENT, Liberal; I never argued with your facts or your conclusions!
My objection was to the self-congratulatory, back-patting humbug in which you chose to couch it!
Nobody likes a showoff, and it’s particularly obnoxious when that show off is right; but do let the rightness speak, my old cock, rather than self- worshipping at your own plinth!
I’m a gambler, but nobody ever hears me boasting about when I lose. I only shout it about when I win, and so do you! Why not tell us about all the times you’ve been wrong: Or have you ever been wrong!
In both cases it’s execrable, but I just brag about my profit, while you brag that you ARE a prophet!
Read my original post again, and then tell me: who’s lost his sense of humour then? And who missed the point?

“Who’s lost his sense of humour then? And who missed the point?”
What did I just say? Looks like I was right again, “my old cock”.

Oh! yeah! You’re never ever ever ever wrong!
And your sense of humour has them screeching in the cemetery!

Elixelx,
There’s probably no point in trying to explain this, but I’ve known BTL since he was… let’s just say much younger. He is a quiet, courteous, pleasant sort. Likes children, dogs, he’s good to the neighbors. So, whatever your fantasy is of his character… boastful or arrogant let’s say… is way off-base. He’s kind of shy, actually.

“He is a quiet, courteous, pleasant sort. Likes children, dogs, he’s good to the neighbors….”
So BLOODYTHIRSTY LIBERAL is just a nom de guerre, a pseudonym, a way to hide his inner self while showing his buddies that “quiet, courteous” self?
“Quiet, courteous, pleasant sort”! By a sheer coincidence those are exactly the same words used by his neighbours to describe FRINKL (?) the Austrian monster,,,Not to mention Mohammed Atta, John Gacy and Clive Barrow all described by friends and neighbours in approximately similar terms..”unassuming, helpful…”
I am reliably informed that Jeffrey Dahmer was so so so shy that he could barely look anyone in the eye, unless he was about to eat it!
Finally, a sure sign of a sociopath is one who refers to him/herself in the THIRD PERSON. So which are you, interlocutor mine, “BloodThirsty Liberal” or “Aggie” since the thread above indicates that yo post under both name. What’s the matter…one personality not good enough, you need to split it into TWO? Why not 100, and then you can create blogs and have the other you-personas reply to you, because you won’t have me beating up on you anymore!

Phew! and double Phew! So did I!
Nevertheless, having answered the fool according his folly, in the vain hope that a keyboard lashing might help him straigten up, I see that my best intentions have been all for naught.
There should be three monkeys in your logo, BTL–BTL, AGGIE and BAGGIE the schizo monkey–refusing to see, hear, or speak unless it’s self-aggrandizing, wow-look-at-me gibberish! Maybe one of them will write one word of non-self-centred truth if they keep pounding that keyboard for the next three hundred years or so!
Damn, when it comes to kicking TOCHUS, I’m absolutely the BEST!
Bye now; blog unhappily ever after you three!
