SEAN HANNITY (HOST): This is the biggest military buildup since the Iraqi war, let's put it this way. And you can see the people in Iran -- the level of slaughter that has gone on in recent weeks has gotten worse, but, yet the people of Iran desperately want freedom and are taking on -- the number of people arrested in the dark of night, reports of 50 to 100,000 people now are being slaughtered by this regime that hates its own people and has created poverty and misery for its own people, as they enforce very strict, sick Sharia law. 

I don't think it means much that the Taliban is saying that they will support -- they're ready to cooperate with Iran if Washington launches a potential attack. Good luck to them because they're going to be hit next too.
