From the Iranian Front of the Jihadistan Wars

Iranian militants in power stir fears

The rise of militants to power positions in Iran is raising new worries about Iranian military forces' deploying new weapons that threaten oil supplies or future long-range nuclear or chemical missile strikes.
Military specialists say the Islamist regime in Tehran has not invested heavily in the past decade in new tanks, armored vehicles or warplanes, but instead focused defense spending on "asymmetric" warfare capabilities. These include Iran's covert nuclear program and new Shahab-3 and older Scud missiles that could deliver nuclear, chemical and biological weapons hundreds of miles away.

So why would anyone be surprised by this? Islamofascist jihadi states will act like...Islamofascist jihadi states. That's what they do.

Just like the Nazi plan was written in Mein Kampf, the ideological framework of the Islamofascist jihad is written in THEIR book - The Koran.

Too good not to share!

This speaks for itself. H/T to BMEWS

Tax Non-Reform Plan

Conservatives pan ideas of Bush tax-reform panel

The Bush-appointed tax reform bi-partisan commission is about to make it's recommendations - and from all indications they are a giant step backwards.

Instead of moving towards a true reorganizational reform and simplificatin of the revenue system such as the "flat tax" or "fair taz", the recommendations tinker around the edges of the system, and end up with de-facto tax cuts that would favor affluent blue-state professional and executive types, but hit the middle class literally where it lives by removing home deductions. There's more to it than this, but nothing any better.

This also continues the enlightenment process to the truth that Dubya is far from being a conservative.

"If George Bush thinks he has problems with [Supreme Court nominee] Harriet Miers, wait until it dawns on people that his tax-reform panel is recommending a huge tax cut for rich people in blue states and a huge tax increase for middle-class folks in the red states," said Larry Hunter, chief economist for the Free Enterprise Fund.
Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican, called the proposals "a few Band-Aids on the current code. True tax reform requires the complete replacement of the IRS code with a new system that is simple, fair, and that promotes savings and investment."

Hopefully this fiscal abortion will be dead on arrival.
