Why on earth would we need a special weapon to kick the shit out of Iran. We wouldn't even have to pull a single trigger, just give Israel what they need and lots of. They would enjoy it more than our boys anyhow. Nah, we don't need special weapons, just a leader with some sense (and balls). I guess we didn't learn anything from letting Hitler grow his forces before doing what HAD to be done.

I think old Hugo is in trouble, devalued currency, rolling blackouts, country is near about broke. Maybe if he had concentrated on running the country instead of bad mouthing us at every opportunity he would be better off. I give him one more year.

As long as we need the oil he's selling I guess we have to let him rant. Kinda like how we keep kissing the Saudis asses.
