We should've gone after Iran before Iraq. Saddam is actually needed in that region. I say we should put Sadamm in power again.
Was just watching Tucker on MSNBC.
They were talking about the correlation between the UK plot and Iran.
a guy says Iran pres is the new modern day hitler.
Buying billion dollar worth of weapons from Russia.
He hates USA and wants to get rid of Israel.
Should we be worried, and should we get involved in another war??

i thought saddam was supposed to be hitler
Hitler has a lot of clones.
To your question, can we afford an elective war with Iran?
Our military resources are stretched thin with the Iraq occupation. Do you propose we exit Iraq by invading Iran?
If you choose to launch an air war against Iran there will be consequences that we will have to be ready to pay. For instance if Iranian oil is shut off from the world, the Chinese and Indians will be none to happy with us interfering with their supply of oil. How about our homegrown consumers? Will they like the prices oil and gas will rise to when Shiite terrorists begin attacking mideast pipelines and production facilities?
How about if we don't knock out everything we need to with the airstrikes and missles start flying into Iraq or Israel?
Starting a war with Iran at this time would also be very costly in treasure. Where to you propose we get the money to finance this war with Iran? (I know, I know, the grandkids will pay for it)
I think we better give diplomacy some more time with Iran.
US military can't take on Iran, thanks to the phony Repug war in Iraq, where the limits of the US manpower and its inability to fight a widespread war against irregular forces 1/10th the size are on gratuitous display. Of course, we can assume that Iran has a real and highly motivated army that won't fade like the Whott's vaunted Iraqi army did in 2 wars.
USA could only bomb Iran, but Iran's missiles would very probably make the the Bagdad green zone, and various US military installations next door in Iraq, look like south Beirut in a few hours.
Basically, the Repugs' insane folly in Iraq has ed the US's "big stick" geopolitics.
Impeach dubya/ head/rummy/condi.
It must suck to be living in this country and spending every day rooting for it to lose.
Brushing up on your Arabic, croutons?
Right, it's not like we wouldn't target their offensive missilie facilities in a first strike. Damn you're stupid.USA could only bomb Iran, but Iran's missiles would very probably make the the Bagdad green zone, and various US military installations next door in Iraq, look like south Beirut in a few hours.
You sure do seem to have a fascination for on this board. Do you like being the hot dog or the bun when you and Dan hook up?Impeach dubya/ head/rummy/condi.
"spending every day rooting for it to lose."
AHF, the content-free less twerp with nothing to lose except ad hominem rotten tomatoes.
Link to where I root for the USA to lose.
Simpleton, do you think Iran-proxy Hezbollah's 10,000 rockets still not neutralized by IDF are their own original idea? Or do you think Iran hasn't buried and many 10s of 1000s of more powerful, longer range, and more accurate rockets in hardened facilities throughout the very rugged and widespread mountains of Iran?
Gay trash talk, how original and on topic. Go a family member, cretin.

Gotta love it when Crouton gets mad.You would think he would be running the country with all that knowledge he has. He seems to "think" he has the answer to every question.
Tell you what big guy, instead of being an armchair politician, why don't you get into politics? Better yet, with the vast military knowledge of your's, why are you not working as a consultant for the US Military. Surely someone with your firm grasp on ummmm...EVERYTHING in the world, you would surely be a real asshol....err asset to this country.
I cannot see the US launching a pre-emptive strike against Iran, short of having satellite images showing them fueling their nuclear missiles aimed at Israel.
Sorry croutons, I can't put much faith in the opinions of someone who isn't even old enough to buy a pack of cigarettes, let alone have enough education to form a decent world view outside of CNN and MSNBC.
Aggie, your trash is so ing weak. Better to shut the up rather than keep embarrassing your side.
IRAN'S
NOT-SO-INVISIBLE HAND
No one should be too surprised by this week's report of Iranian soldiers among Hezbollah fighters killed in recent fighting in southern Lebanon. But the new evidence of Iranian involvement might broaden the war - with potentially ominous consequences.
Iran's links to the terrorist militia are well known. As Amir Taheri recently wrote on these pages, quoting former Iranian Security Minister Ali Yunesi, "Iran is Hezbollah, and Hezbollah is Iran."
Remember, Iran created Hezbollah in 1975. It was the Lebanese branch of the Iranian Party of God.
"Hundreds of Iranian mullahs, political 'educators' and Islamic Revolutionary Guardsmen were sent to Beirut to set up the branch," Taheri noted. The militants strengthened their links to Iranian clerics and influential figures through marriage. Lebanese Shiites hold positions in Iran's government, and an estimated 60,000 hold Iranian citizenship.
Meanwhile, over the years, Iran has poured billions of dollars into its Lebanon franchise - possibly at a rate of $100 million a year these days.
Few doubt that Hezbollah's impressive arsenal comes from Iran. Or that its fighters receive training from the Islamic Republic's military. Its leaders surely coordinate military plans with Tehran.
So in what way is Hezbollah not an extension of Iran?
We, along with others, shined a spotlight on Tehran's "dirty hands" in this war from the day it started: "Make no mistake," we wrote. "The Islamic Republic of Iran is the one pulling the strings."
Tehran and its Lebanese puppet deny that. Of course they would: Without overwhelming proof of its complicity, Iran can enjoy a free ride - attacking Israel without risk of direct reprisals.
Yet the evidence is mounting: Analysts believe some Hezbollah rockets, like one that hit an Israeli warship, could only have come from Iran - and that Iranian advisers are essential to launch them.
This week, a captured Hezbollah fighter, who took part in the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers that touched off the war, admitted on video he was trained in Iran. And now the dead Iranian Guards found among Hezbollah fighters.
What makes all this particularly troubling is that the evidence makes it increasingly impossible for Israel to pretend it is not directly at war with Iran.
The rest of the world, too, will soon have to confront Iran's growing belligerence -and its defiant pursuit of nuclear weapons.
The prospects of that are not pleasant. But Iran's unchecked aggression may lead to even more horrific consequences.
The sooner it's contained, the better...but HOW

Security Council Resolution Demands Iran Suspend Uranium Enrichment
Monday, July 31, 2006
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,206372,00.html
UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council passed a weakened resolution Monday giving Iran until Aug. 31 to suspend uranium enrichment or face the threat of economic and diplomatic sanctions... .
Iran immediately rejected the council action, saying it would only make negotiations more difficult concerning a package of incentives offered in June for it to suspend enrichment...
meanwhile radicals in the Iranian government cry out loud for the destruction of Israel.

http://prisonplanet.com/articles/feb...6diplomacy.htm
Iran reacted with defiance after the five big powers on the United Nations Security Council agreed to report Tehran to the UN body over its suspected nuclear weapons programme...
in other words, go to ! towards the UN and the western world.
