No problem.

I'm sure we'll be hearing more out of Iran. They've been very busy lately slanting the news.

They are very dependent on the Pakis and China for nuclear equipment and technology - especially since they've lost all capabilities in one nuke plant. They can't be acknowledging that the USA got the better of the Pakis, so they had to give them some cover. Can't admit that the SEALS can get in and out of there right under the nose of their military without some inside help.

There's still a power struggle going on between A-Jad and the supreme leader's son, who is suspected of taking billions from the Chinese in oil deals.

I'm still interested in finding out who the 2 Americans were that met with A-Jad's people in Dubai - one with political connections and one with military connections. Khameini is said to be very upset about it.

Can't be having all these clandestine meetings and deals going on if it's not furthering Iran's nuke program. Can't be compromising relationships with the 2 countries they need to bring that about.

The success of that SEAL team is a major blow to Iran, besides the poor Qaeda folks. It's also a bit of a monkey wrench in how they view and will approach the USA now, since they've been treating us like weaklings for years.

It may also affect G-Daffy since he folded like a cheap lawn chair when we invaded Iraq.
