Title: from Gates, proposed SecDef
Post by: Captain Virgil Hilts on November 08, 2006, 07:45:47 PM
Gates on Iran (http://www.cfr.org/content/publications/attachments/Iran_TF.pdf)

It's a large pdf file featuring Gates' opinions on Iran. A long read, but something to consider.

I can sum up in a few words how I would deal with Iran. Westernize them till they collapse.

Why the second one of course. I'm surprised we don't have sattellite feeds beaming down our western propaganda to them. Get them hooked on Greys Anatomy, that would serve em right. Beam them General Hospital.....MAKE THEM WATCH OPRAH!

watched a documentary on just that subject..satellites in Iran, they're being westernized but the Die hard fundy's have control and banned the Satellites...

Kids are pissed off but they can't do anything unless they create a revolution in Iran...

another step backwards for them, I think
