Target..+Iran+

[Dago]

Thrawn, you proved long ago your agenda, and lack of any comments worth serious consideration.

It is the weak girlymen of the western countries that will be responsible for the deadly problems that  we will experience in the future.  Lacking the backbone to stand up to threats, they will become the Al Gore apologists, or the Bill Clintons giving in to extortion that will start the downward spiral of our nations standing as a world power.

Why should we give a rat's hindquarters if Iran nukes Israel?  Israel will nuke back, and two pains in the butt will be temporarily anesthetized.  

The arguments for preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons are specious at best.  We didn't invade North Korea when they lit a nuke, and their leader is a way bigger nut job than Ahmadinejad.  Where were the moral outrage and demands for military action when Pakistan and India went nuclear?  Not exactly the most politically stable countries, yet we allow their possession of nuclear weapons.

Once again, the matter really comes down to oil.  We have a problem with a non-friendly country having nukes near our oil fields.  We would certainly retaliate against a country using nukes against us or our allies, but in this part of the world it would mess with our energy supplies.  That can't be tolerated.  But to call it like it is might make the unwashed masses ask questions that the administration is uncomfortable addressing.

Please go back to your bread and circuses.  There is nothing to see here.

India is not Pakistan is not North Korea is not Iran is not Iraq is not Libya.

not every tool is a hammer, and every problem a nail.

If the US did invade Iran, I guess the rest of the world would label this an "illegal" war and everyone would go ape-chit over it.

So far as I recall, the Iraq war has been the only war in history that has been an "illegal" war.

Makes me wonder why we don't ever hear about any other wars in these terms.

Iran is a paper tiger at best.


They are not a threat to the US..just Isreal.  IPAC and other Jewish proxies have convinced the coolaid drinkers otherwise.

That's mind-bogglingly stupid--One decent-sized nuke, and every Israeli is dead (except for the ones on their nuke subs who would fire back)... Unless you feel it's ok to let them all die...(Israelis) It WOULD be easier for the US after they are gone--I get that impression from many circles

who cares about Isreal.


let them fight it out.  If Isreal expands its borders from N Africa to Turkey then good for them.



They can take care of themselves.

Actually, since the insurgency in Iraq is primarily funded and supplied by Iran, if we smashed Iran, the Iraq conflict might subside rather quickly.  I think a few small tactical nukes delivered onto Iran would be a good start.  Time to play hardball, let the bleeding hearts wimper.

Well, I seriously doubt the conflict will stay that simple.

You left out the part where Irans action is considered cheekbones-like?  I hope you dont consider them terrorists for trying to gain a political advantage in Iraq?  If iranian army were turning mexico into a radical islam state, would the US fund and activily participate in an effort to make that fail?  Imagine, nuclear terrorists just across the border?  I think it would be do or die, and after the 'axis of evil' speach, you really cant blame Iran for getting nervous.

Not from nukes, but from the draft board. Because if the USA invades Iran. It will be a long war.  Iraq is heading for it's fifth year and it's hardly a proper war.

Yea, thats what I meant.  Its going to be  a never ending war.

It's statements like this that make Iran "cheekbones-like".

At a conference in Tehran, Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared that Israel, "must be wiped off the map." Countries that recognize the Jewish state, he said, will "burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury."
