In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.
Countrymen,
ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT
It puzzles me that Iran is said — which is to say publicly, which always lags IC awareness and products — to be developing nuclear weapons for well over a decade and they still have — which is to say publicly, a significant caveat — no weapon much less a deliverable one. USA went from decision to use in far less time. This puzzles me. Why cannot Iranians get the job just done? PAK and NORK — which means China (and here) — as well as Germany, current USA admin and Russia — and who knows, the CIA too? — help them. Why have they not gotten the job done? Or, have they in fact?
On the one hand, I recognize that public info lags reality, often by years. The usual reason, at least privately, is unwillingness to alarm civilians. Same reason any attack is instantly, officially labeled not-terrorist-related, even before EMR, law enforcement and investigators arrive at the carnage. Legions of official clairvoyants have we? On the other hand, I wonder what kind of dim wits Iranians really might be. Persians I know are fine, brilliant — and comely — people. Of course these are the ones who had to leave, whose relatives were massacred by the mullahs.
My suspicion is the mullahs have had the bomb and a delivery system for years and they and enemy governments are playing kabuki to civilians for some reason I cannot see. I find it difficult to believe Iranians, even under psychopaths — mullahs — have not by now got what they want. If they have, and have not used it, especially at Israel, then that suggests to me that mullahs fear something tangible, and I doubt that would be so-called sanctions, which sound to me like more kabuki to entertain civilians. And if mullahs fear something tangible, they are not really wanting to breach the gates of heaven or bring down the 12th imam in sheets of primordial fire. They are quite content being the current mullahs and ayatollahs living high off their slaves’ labor, thank you very much. And if all of that is accurate, then the poor dumb bastards can be had. They are hook-able because they have body-consciousness, attachment to the bag of urine and feces they inhabit. They are not adept as Ravana. They are pussies.
Update 1: Former Obama Intel Chief: Administration’s Iran Policy Is Willful Ignorance
Update 2: Senator Tom Cotton on Iran.
Related: PL has two mentions in Tom’s Wikipedia bio. And he’s a knuckle-dragger. The Times letter may have caused his move from line to staff and then out. Something got him out early after a fast rise in the line, consignment to staff and a short time in reserves. I’d say the Times letter signaled political aspirations and counter-signaled mil career, another reason for an early out for a rising OBC line officer.
PL featured the Times letter, as I recall. It would be a rare serving officer, especially a junior, who would address the Times without command prior-approval and expect a mil career afterwards. Maybe the Harvard Man Syndrome punched through to dominance for that incident. The military is not a democracy.
Update 3: John Hinderaker of Power Line on the deal with Iran.

Update 6: Southern Poverty Communist Law Center put ten American women on its hit list.
Update 7: Goodnight Vienna.
Update 8: Michael J. Totten really does not get Iran, but this of his is worthy of the exercise of criticizing and useful for historical content none-the-less.
Update 9: Jim DeMint on the deadly deal with Iran.
Update 10: Charles Hill On The Iran Deal
Update 11: The Fraud’s Scheme To Pass The Iran Nuke Deal
Update 12: Michael Ledeen: How To Defeat The Grand Bargain With Iran
Update 13: Is there a socialist/fascist government that has ceased to exist and been replaced with humane government of some sort without the application, from external source(s), of diplomatic, financial and/or military warfare? Fascist propaganda has made Americans allergic to just the thought of war … all the better for fascists to rule them. Perhaps it’s time to treat that thought as the pathogen it is.
Update 14: Sultan Knish: No More Mr. Nice Conservative

Update 18: Iran Silly Games
Update 19: A side-point on this post: is it really true that Iran is the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, aka global Islamic hegemony by every means available? This statement is repeated again and again, seemingly everywhere, by everyone. Is it true? I do not know, but I suspect it is not true, and have no way to validate my suspicion.
I suspect al Saud is the world’s largest state sponsor of global Islamic hegemony (Caliphism), at least if large is taken to indicate monies spent and time-in-grade.
For example, who pays for the Islamic Centers, Islamic propaganda/information circulars/curricula and Islamic Studies Departments at … how many primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities around the globe? Who pays for the Islamic “prison ministries” in virtually every country not officially Islamic? Who pays for the madrassas in Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere? Who is trying to bankrupt some countries while funding others as well as supposedly non-state actors?
Who fills the world’s media with continuous cascades of sanctimonious double-talk to justify global Islamic hegemony?
If my suspicion regarding the world’s largest sponsor of “terrorism” is correct, then a one-eyed laser-focus on Iran as the primary enemy of the USA in the ME flouts Von Clausewitz’ first rule of war, does it not?
Finally — and of this I am certain: in the ME, it is deeply and widely held as fundamental truth that the State of Israel birthed ISIS — which in the ME is deeply and widely hated by the generality — to cripple Arab freedom, independence and self-determination.

Update 26: Iran Charges Russia With Selling Out its Air Defense Secrets to Israel
Update 27: It would be possible and fairly easy to refute Trita Parsi on his own thesis that ME is about strategic matters rather than ideological ones. He wants to insinuate that the mullah’s strategic interests are misunderstood, benign, and do not conflict with USA’s (… Iran’s continued difficulties in translating its strength to regional acceptance … is a gorgeous dissembling).
Had USA a grand national strategic goal matched to her actual interests in the ME, Parsi’s thesis could be taken apart point-by-point.
But USA has no grand national strategic goal matched to her actual interests anywhere in MENA. The nearest such is POTUS Trump’s aversion to endless wars around the planet. But that is not a grand national strategic goal, much less one that comprehensively reflects actual USA interests.
The last strategic statement POTUS Trump’s administration produced was Mattis/Tillerson/USA foreign policy establishment (aka massed morons) boilerplate dating to the 1940s. Worse than worthless. With friends like the USA foreign policy establishment, who needs enemies?
The needed work actually has been done, however, even circulated, just not discussed.
AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA
