Oh no, I’ll totally wreck your threads, but some things are sacred; would never mess with the Pats. If the Jags only took it down because of fear of motivating the Pats, then they are quite silly wusses. The web page was all over ESPN this morning so the Pats already have the material if they are so inclined; now the Jags are backing down anyway. It was kind of humorous, they should have had the cojones to leave it up. I was joking about Bill Bell and the lawyer.

Glad you found a version with the asterisk–I thought you were pulling my leg, getting your revenge for baiting you and all.

Though I would imagine it might not have even gotten to Bill Bell. An asterisk like this is just the kind of slight that might, um, motivate the Pats.

Oops. I apologize for misspelling Senator Kyl’s name.

I’ve just been checking our list of what are called the “currently listed entities” (seriously: if you want to know who the CanGov considers terrorist organizations, you have to google “Canada listed entities”). The Iranian Revolutionary Guard isn’t there. Yet. I’m sure that our sycophant PM wants them there, so that’s a bit surprising. I’m not sure what is holding him up, but we take the small mercies where we can find them.

The stage has been set. It took five months before the Bush administration’s lies to congress about Iraq and their subsequent idiotic and bloody vote on the 2002 war resolution to be used to invade Iraq. Five months from the Kyl Lieberman amendment will be in late march.

They know they have until Bush is out of office to keep coming to the brink of an attack on the Revolutionary Guard. Hell if Clinton or McCain get in they will have a much longer time to implement those PNAC plans.

Yes and depends on Cheney’s pacemaker; in that respective order.

Am I right in believing that the Kyle-Lieberman amendment designated the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization? Does that mean that the gloves are off in any confrontation that occurs anywhere, any time?

I just ran across a CNN story from late November quoting Admiral Mullen that the Revolutionary Guard is responsible for patrolling the Persian Gulf while the regular Iranian Navy patrols the Straights of Hormuz? Isn’t the US claiming the Revolutionary Guard did this?

By the way, Glenn just posted on this topic and the discussion is lively.
