Secretary of Skank Condi Rice Wants $75 Million to Promote Democracy and Opposition in Iran

Well, there's another declaration of war; from WaPo:

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice asked Congress yesterday to provide $75 million in emergency funding to step up pressure on the Iranian government, including expanding radio and television broadcasts into Iran and promoting internal opposition to the rule of religious leaders.

The request would substantially boost the money devoted to confronting Iran -- only $10 million is budgeted to support dissidents in 2006 -- and signals a new effort by the Bush administration to persuade other nations to join the United States in a coalition to bolster Iranian activists, halt Iran's funding of terrorism and stem its nuclear ambitions, State Department officials said.
Imagine how the U.S. would respond if Iran earmarked $75 million (as just seed money, mind you) to promote the fundamentalist Islamification of Iowa or Indiana or one of those other silly I states?

Tell you what: I won't give Condikins the money if you won't.
