I'm glad it wasn't the musings of a sober man.

[difflock]

But it was the musing of a still sober man, i.e. written prior to my P'Elvis consumption, and alluding to Carl Benjamin's poor taste joke in respect of Jess Philips.

While pondering why one "joke" disturbed me more than the other.

It's a fair point, both are despicable acts. @Mick Dempsey nailed it earlier with where/ who draws the line.

That John Bolton appears to be a bit of a badun:

Seems like America's ramping things up:

 

You see it as America ramping it up Mark?

 

Seems an odd way to look at it (unless you think the tanker attacks were a CIA op?)

I do as it happens (the ramping up bit). What on earth would the Iranians stand to gain?

Have a gander at this:

What do you think aboout it?

I see thing different..   maybe John Bolton does want regime change but Trump certainly doesn't..

 

He just wants to have Iran have a nuclear deal that he made and not one Obama made..   he had the Japanese Prime minister over there begging them to get in touch so as he could start on his Trump deal...

 

Only what he don't get is the Iranians aren't playing ball..   in fact they're going out there way to tweak his nose..   its Trump who's gonna end up being humiliated if he ain't careful..  

 

These limpet mine attacks can be carried out at will and Trump can't do anything about it, short of calling for a war with Iran..  and they know he can't afford to do that..

 

They want Trump to back down and remove the sanctions, seeing as it was he who put em there to begin with..  until Trump does, we'll be seeing more and more shenanigans from the Iranians..
