"thinking clarify the brain?" What was the Iranian project? The Iranians project was to be an industrial nation with a grand stature in this region.

Let me start with the conclusion

CONCLUSION:

THE SOLUTION FOR IRAN WILL ONLY BE FOUND WHEN THE IRANIANS SEE THAT THEIR PROJECT CAN SUCCEED!!

They wanted to be the Germany of the Middle East, Caucasus and Southwest Asian. An economic power house exporting to its neighbors...

Eventually by sheer economic power, and by creating a sphere of influence. Import electricity from Caucasus countries, provide technical assistance to Yemen, put some ships and subs and have military manoeuvers to make peace without foreign influence (which Saudi would love) and then pretty soon this thing could become mainstream like other parts of the world.

(The developments aren'timportant for us. It will for the likes of my experiment and Coco. The past always pay a visit the future, else there wasn't any need to study history)

Had the revolution of 1979 not ocurred, this project would have happen. To whom did the revolution benefit? It benefited the ones who would lose in case the project succeeded: THE EUROPEANS!!! France, Germany and the UK.

The revolution was concocted by the Europeans that didn't want the project to succeed. And all that to the detriment of the US!

Now if I would be invited to that ranch to eat a stake with Bush this summer here is what I would tell him to do:

(I'd charge expenses, USD1mn if Bush succeeded plus a green card for me, wife and my experiment.)

Bush you can go to that Embassy there -where elmat took those pictures in front of its wall- and take it over before the end of your admin. And the beauty of it: You don't have to shoot a single bullet!

And better! You'd get a grip in South Iraq, get access to more oil, get more business for the oil men and would sell a lot of stuff, like Boeings, G.E stuff, telecoms, high tech stuff...

You do a Kissinger. Fly, secretly, a guy (he's got to have a nice suit and real brains) to Tehran. Seat with the three guys who really matter. Write the plan -should not be longer than an A-4 page. He'll fly back.

The Israeli most likely will get intelligence on this and will torpedo the initiative, if they do. Hence it would be necessary to tell the Israeli. "Next week, if an earthquake happens in Iran, if a lightening strikes the meetings’ building, if a snake bites one of the guys, we'll come after you."

Here's the plan: (only the begining, after money is on the table things go without any plan.)

Iran tells southern Iraqis to back off.

The US will pay back by drafting a plan to accommodate nuclear engineers who needs that chunk of the budget that will vanish if the nuclear facility grinds to a halt.

US will de-freeze Iranians assets in the US abroad and put pressure in Europe to do the same. (USD700bn is rumored.

Iran dismantles, disband and disarm the Revolutionary Guard.

The US will lift embargo in a three stage:

First on humanitarian goods: Hospitals and medical engineering, aircrafts, (as a present to G.E), food and drugs
Water supplies. Oil and gas.

Second on infrastructure (roads, harbors, airports (present for Bechtel). Electricity, telecoms. US will "bless" gas pipeline to India.

Third in "defense" gear, satellites

The stages will be: very time Iran does one step, the US does one in synch.

The US will assist Iran in creating the embryo of that sphere of influence by creating the CMCS Common Market of the Caucasus States.

(Just to make the Russians would get worried and would not 'torpedo' the plan, and join in)

The Iranians would see glory days (their 'destiny' will be full filled) ahead and would sign in.

Current President -and the other two guys- would imagine their names spoken, throughout the next centuries, like it's spoken today of Cyrius, Darius and Antaxerxes.

They'll see history.

Bush will come out as the president that hit two rabbits with a single stone.

Pacified Iraq and brought Iran into the fold.

Bush will enter -the walls will be painted new and the eagle seal will be restored- the Embassy and will make a speech under the cameras of CNN zoom in teary eyed Iranians, then pans to Jimmy Carter. (I will tell Bush he's got to be invited.)

Then the camera pans back to a group of Iranian young ladies dressed with a coat but wearing little underneath. Bush leads a couple of ex-diplomats an ex-detainee of the take over of the US embassy. He is interviewed. An ex-revolutionary guard begs for his forgiveness (actually he just wants to get a job as the tea boy since he knows the embassy inside out)

The ex-diplomat forgives him. (I have to work this part. It is sounding like a Mexican TV drama.)

Oil prices plummet. Gold plummet. USD rises against the Euro...

Emat will watch from wherever he is while thinking: This is the second time time I did it. First, 15 years ago, I sent my book, on a floopy to Frank Feathers and see how the world is today! Now I cook a return of the US and defused a potential calamity. I'm good!!

My experiment asks:

"Is it a good idea to use this money to buy a property in Wyoming?"

If any of you can call Bush, tell him I'm ready to talk...

BWAHAHA! General I love your spirit! Space Station, humanitys last hope if thier is big nuclear war or meteor catastrophe. I was very thankful for russian guys up there helping us out.

and draft will be in

I certainly hope so Jay, there are lots of frustrated asian guys that have no women over there - what like 60 million surplus of guys with no woman, and if those guys and lots of my round eye guys start beating up on each other, there will be lots of lonely women at the military bases here that will need some company. Then all us guys with all this free time to post on SI or play Quake maybe have time for more personal attention - hehe. I am really getting tired of all the crackheads and meth heads I am meeting out here in my nations cities, I would love to go for REAL deathmatch with american crack head men and asian boys - kill off some of that dead weight - when you play deathmatch - who usually wins? Guy with the most armor and the BFG eh?

Armor Holdings, Inc. Receives $45.5 Million Up-Armored HMMWV Order

i-newswire.com

EnGarde body armor introduces a new hard armor insert to coop with the latest developments in the war in Iraq.

(I-Newswire) - As the US Army is planning to upgrade its hard armor inserts the body armor manufacturer EnGarde has launched a new product, the EnGarde Level IV+ insert.

The EnGarde Level IV+ insert does not only stop multiple 7.62x54 hits but also the infamous armor piercing incendiary type B-32 version. These type B-32 black over red tip variants coming out of the insurgents Dragoon sniper rifles and AK-47’s are not on the US ballistic standard listings. “That is the reason that we call it a Level IV+ insert” states Mr. Luiten from EnGarde body armor.

“We are convinced that you should stay ahead of the competition and not just follow them” comments the EnGarde spokesman on incidents with rebels in Iraq. US soldiers found a weapons cache some months ago which also consisted of 7.62mm armor piercing incendiary rounds. These bullets shoot right through Level IV hard armor inserts. The fact that this ammunition is illegal, will not stop the insurgents from getting it.”

General Chen, ASians letting us build more ARMOR to protect our troops while they make thier soldiers build stuffed toys to send to our kids - crazy huh??

Who do you think gonna win a fist, knife, gun fight in conventional battle - stresses asian guy about 5'10 who aint had any in about 5 years except if he went gay - or some 6'1 redneck who aint had his meth in about 2 days? Do you know many personal meth heads Jay? They are wild men - I can't stand those crazy fools. Remember, Alexander had a company of gay men I believe - they were his most fierce fighters - won many battles!
