    Default The US-Iranian Chessboard

    Been reading through some recently released docs from the Director of the CIA John Brennan - A lot of interesting reading, thought this stuck out as unexpectedly casual, regarding future American-Iranian relations.

    First Snippet:
    Recommendations to the next President (assuming office in Jan. 2009) on how to play the figures on the U.S.-Iranian Chessboard (18 November 2007, Author: John Brennan)

    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Typically Leftie, this ... effectively giving support to Wikileaks and its material. Never mind all the great potential harm Assange and his mob could've already done (or will do) to national security concerns ...

    Besides, how do we know that all which Wikileaks 'disseminates' is unassailably accurate ? Because Assange says so .. ?

    Noir, if you're going to keep quoting their stuff, what's next on the agenda ? H'mm ?
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!

    There is no US-Iranian chessboard. There's a Sunni-Shia chessboard and we've stuck our noses in the middle of the board. We need to be the guy that takes his hand and wipes all the pieces off the board.

    If US policy has not changed since the document was written, then this is exactly the opposite of the US plan.

    You're on a roll this morning, huh?

    There is no damned plan and whatever is going on damned sure doesn't have anything to do with Chess. Chess requires strategy and tactics and someone that knows how to play Chess. That would NOT be our current administration.

    I'd take on Obama or Kerry at Chess in a minute and take take everything they had and concede only my pawns. Oh. Like Iran did. Neither should be in public office. They're inept.
