3113 Yes it is but lucky for me I have all these tasty meds to eat, and nutritious juices to drink, cranberry, orange. Ugh, if only I had something with booze in it.

3113 Well, if this is what the conversation pace is going to be I’m going to use the restroom.

Dude, you so didn’t need to post that. Your mum might be reading this.

Hey screw hole, my mum knows I need to use the restroom just like everyone else.

Fine but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

3113 Three times… Eh, I think you better stick with having your 13 year old friends throw you around.

Yeah, I will be attempting another go at quitting Lori. I really need to and this un-curable crud is helping out allot, I can’t really smoke at efficiency when my lungs explode with every drag, which ironically is a drag in itself.

3113 Again? Tell those lazy consumers in the U.K. to get of their asses and shop. Or better yet sit on their asses and shop on line.

3113 I think I am going to mosey on over to the smoke shack, and attempt to smoke. This will probably be painful, but I am feeling pretty punchy, so it is time to burn one. BRB BFF };-p

3113 yes... I have to stay up for 3 more hours.

Eh, No you don't. Go to sleep now, nobody will notice.

Umm, dude I definatly think someone would notice if I went to sleep.
Jun 30, 2008 02:33AM

3113 So. How you doing nick... Any new colors?

Nope.

Really not even one?

Eh uhuh.

Dude that sucks.

Yeah, tell me about it.
Jun 30, 2008 02:32AM

3113 I don't suggest doing nothing Heyley. That wouldn't solve anything. Waiting around for them to get strong enough to cause real damage is a bad idea. In my opinion.
Jun 30, 2008 02:20AM

3113 I didn't say anything about invading. We don't need to.
Jun 30, 2008 02:18AM

3113 Not to sound to dark or anything but I think brutality/violence is the universes catalyst for change.

Volcanoes create island and destroy entire civilizations.

Floods feed the ancient Egyptians but have killed millions in the same wave.

Space is a messy and dangerous place; if you are not pummeled to death by atomic partials moving at the speed of light then you are getting soaked with gamma radiation. Asteroids, meteors, comets, all flying to and fro knocking into shit. Entire galaxies knocking into each other.

Yes we all live in a very brutal reality.

3113 I feel your un-ease Lori.

Sorry Hayley didn’t mean to ramble on like that. It is kind of hard to capture the dynamics of a situation that complex without being long winded. I don't even think I articulated it very well. Was it at lest a little bit coherent?

3113 Lori: as to the points you have truthfully made, I would argue that things are as they are because of the way we have engaged in this fight. Much like in Korea, and Viet Nam. Politian’s seem incapable of understand once the military is activated a government needs to back off and let the commanders do their job. During the ongoing conflicts that you have mentioned we have;
a) Been bogged down by political squabbling
B) been un-able to take the fight to those that openly engage us in battle (thus losing the initive, and fighting a defensive war, our military is an offensive machine)
c) Allot of propaganda mudding the waters as to what the real situation is. No matter what stance you take your opinions have probably been touched by propaganda from one faction or the other.

All these things make it difficult to eliminate our enemies. Make no mistake about it, they are our enemies. I am not speaking of the common man, women, child in the ME, I am speaking of those with regional control. They do have some support… How much support do they have? I don’t know, enough to repress the honest life loving people. That isn’t an accurate gauge to how much support they truly wield though. I think it was Al Capone who said “You can get more with a kind word and a gun, then you can get with just a kind word.” I think that is exactly what is happening in the ME. From the experiences I have gained from my time there I can say that most of the people do not support these actions, but are powerless to do anything about it. Particularly when their religious leaders are pushing them to do it.

What do I think will happen with Iran? This is a complex question. I see a few ways this can unfold. These possible paths differ pending on why this story (however limited in its release) was released. What were the intentions of however leaked/released the story, what do they hope to gain.

I think this article is just what I said it was earlier. A warning to Iran that the clock for a peaceful resolution to the situation is winding down. A statement that we have the capacity to engage them in military action. We DO have the capacity to completely decimate their military, just as quickly as we did to Iraq. I think (with this path) we should target military infrastructure. Bases, barracks, anti-air facilities, their laughable navy, everything. Wipe their military off the planet completely; we could do this with airpower alone. Leave the government and civil sectors alone, with the exception of nuclear facilities, they must go. The only weapon the Iran would have left to it is its contingent of suicide bombers. We have been engaging these charming fellows for a few years now. Nothing new there. There is no need for us to open another ground war. Any operation into Iran can be done with air. Possibly some small incursions.

With this path taken I am sure there would be a lot of rhetoric and hyper jaw jacking by imadinnerjacket, but really that is all. Any nuclear technology that they had has already been dispersed to whomever they are allied with. There is no stopping that at this time anyway. The only thing that slows the spread of nuclear technology is the expense and time required to do it. Terrorist organizations need willing and able countries such as Iran to build their materials and weapons for them.

I predict that with the Iranian Military out of the way the people of Iran would have the breathing room, and ability to set some terms for the direction the country will go from there. It is loosely based on a supposedly elected government system. This is where the covert operations come into play in a major way. I am assuming that as we speak they are setting up networks of insiders to gauge the “real” pulse of the Iranian people. Possibly even to set op groups of supporters. If the waters are right and the people are ready to join the peaceful world this coup could happen with in 18 months. I would assume more like 2-3 years for an ideal friendly network. Realistically I think we have less then a year before an open conflict starts between the US Israel and Iran. Will the rest of the world participate… who knows?

I know this is not going to be a popular stance, but it is what I see coming down the pipe.

3113 Imadinnerjacket HA! that sounds so close to his name. HEHE!
Jun 29, 2008 10:39PM

3113 Well, I think it might be a "show of force" story. I haven't been able to find a complete story about it yet. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a “HEY! Hockmed, we see what your doing and we want you to know we know" thing.

I could be wrong. Perhaps it is a policy that is intended to force Iran’s hand. Telling them in a not so suddle way, that their time of un-checked aggression is coming to an end, and if they intend to stay out of the Frey they need to back off, and back off now.


But again I haven’t seen anything complete so I am just spit balling here. I’m still looking for the full story, not just a blurb.

Jun 29, 2008 08:06PM

3113 Yeah, it doesn't see the "diplomatic" route is getting anywhere.
Jun 29, 2008 07:59PM

3113 Well, I might have this wrong, but I thought they were saying that the U.S. congress approved a 400-500 million a year covert operation bill. Goals of the operation were stated to destabilize mullah support, and to establish human intelligent networks.
Jun 29, 2008 07:35PM

3113 I had just caught a glimpse of this today, but didn't really hear any details. Does anybody know the story? Any opinions?
Jun 29, 2008 07:25PM

3113 Pink… No no no no no. I don’t care if it’s dress up time or not. When it is time to look presentable a man simply knocks the mud off his shoes, rubs his hands in saw dust sprinkle a little water and everything is good. The only pink that should be on a man, is the tight pink skin of a scar.


Hehe I can think of some other pink that should be on a man too, but I will leave that unsaid :D

Jun 29, 2008 08:32AM

3113 Yeah a gay guy, no offence Ali.
what say you? (8 new)
Jun 29, 2008 02:10AM

3113 That may have been what they were going for Lori, but if it was then they missed the mark. If I had created that webpage it could be a good possibility that is was just poorly articulated. But these are supposed to be professionals so I don't buy it. IMO their intent is to warp the context of the story.
