What the US State Department should say in response

Iran's Hizbollah says ready to attack US, Israel says Reuters.

The United States should respond - today - with the following public statement.

" The United States will interpret any threat or attack by Hizbollah on the United States or its interests as a direct attack on the United States by the Government of Iran".

When even Reuters understands that Hizbollah is "Iran's pet", whats the benefit of contining the "Kabuki dance" of pretending they are not what they are?

Let's wait and see what really happens...

I wonder if congressman Murtha would approve of redeployment to Iran?

Actually we should be doing our best to empower the rebel elements already there, and perhaps helping Iraqi Kurdistan sieze Iranian Kurdistan. I suppose that would drive the Turks nuts though.

Yeah send them some of the Duck and cover flicks on 16mm B&W film we were trained with! So they will need a little english to understand, those that care already know it, the rest..... well rest in peace!
