I kind of think we should get our butts out of the country of 27 million angry people before we head over to the 68 million angry people country.

Anyone have a guess as to when that will happen? I'm not sure how this will pan out. I really think the republicans will hold back as long as possible on moving on Iran, b/c when 2008 rolls around, they prolly don't want to be the guys in charge of waging a multi-front war longer than WWII.

Of course, W could tell them to f off and do what he wants since he's a lame duck and repercussions seem to matter little to him. However, the powers in the Leg branch could easily say, "We'll shoot down any of your feel good intiatives if you ignore us". Thus, sealing his legacy as not good.

Then.. what is the solution? Iran's leadership has already publically stated they desire the obliteration of Israel. Iran's leadership has already publically thumbed its nose at the United Nations. Iran's leadership has already expressed its views that it regards western nations as infidels whose deaths are not murder. Iran's leadership supports terrorism and terrorist activities against "non-believers."

Now... this same Iranian leadership has the capacity to control enriched uranium to make nuclear weapons.

And. the reason why one of the wealthiest, oil rich nations on the face of the earth needs a nuclear power plant is ... what again??????

What is the solution? Trade embargo? China and Russia would not support it.

Appeasement? Iran has already demonstrated that they will not back down nor will they back away from its development, and probably usage of nuclear weapons.

Do we wait until Tel Aviv or Jerusaleum or. the USS Ronald Reagan...is a smoking, radioactive wasteland?

I agree with taking action against those ****ers, I wanted to when george was trying to gear us up for Iraq. I wanted Iran more, as they were truly more of a threat and more linked to the big boys (terrorism wise) Saddam was a despot. Now, it's not so easy to step up. We still have a ****load of troops in Iraq.

Well if that dip**** you Texans sent to the White House hadn't launched us headlong into a protracted campaign that has put a strain on our military resources that makes a land campaign in Iran so utterly impossible to maintain I might consider your argument more seriously.

And if that worthless Texan had done what any man should have done and gone after any and every Al Qaida member on this planet and turned them into Kingsford charcoal after Sept. 11th then I might believe a little more in our current administrations ability to stare down Iran. He carpet bombs the **** out of those mountain ranges, collateral damage be damned and let's the whole world know that he's not to be fu*ked with and then, maybe then we'd see a different attitude from Iran. But he's shown about as much focus and resolve when it comes to Al Qaida as VY on his.....nevermind......even I'm tired of that joke. I wonder why Iran doesn't take us seriously. :rolleyes:

That being a seemingly wise choice, I'm sure Bush will do something else.

Hmm, interesting.

Either you are in favor of appeasing them, or you advocate bombing them yet not doing anything afterwards to help the people left behind.

The word "appease" is what throws me for a loop...any and all diplomacy can easily be attacked as "Chamberlainesque" (a new word maybe? :texan: )...even when none of the present conditions are similar.

My point was the Iranian situation is worse than it would've been had we decided on a different course of action w/ regards to Iraq...

That makes no difference now though...we are where we are. I'm neither for pulling out of Iraq or taking an "appeasing" stance towards Iran. We've already made our bed...the time for winning the hearts and minds of the Muslim street or their future generations has long since passed. So if Iran has nukes, they've forced our hand...we have no choice but to eliminate their nuclear capacity.

So what will US involvement be in the Middle East after that? In 20 years from now? Quite active for sure...we'll be on the ground there for several decades IMO. Thats the road our leaders chose (after they had the approval of over 70% of our population) to go down over 3 years ago.

I normally don't argue for the libs, but there is a slight problem with us being in Iraq while this Iran thing is going down. (Keep in mind I am for keeping the troops in Iraq and I am for their mission). Right now, we only have Sunni muslims attacking us, mostly AQ-tied terrorists using IED bombs. If we get into a scrap with Iran, we might also have the Shi-ites against us...and they are the majority population in Iraq. The Iraqi shi-ites would be between a rock and a hard place, knowing full well that if we leave Iraq then Sunnis will try and regain power, or they can keep us as their protectors while we turn their "spiritual brothers'" homeland into ashes.

We need to set top men to work on full scale development of the "Nude Bomb." Those shiites would surely freak-out and they wouldn't know whether they should behead folks for looking or kill themselves for being nekkid.

For those of you too young to remember the 1980 film of the same name:

The Nude Bomb was a 1980 Universal movie starring Don Adams as Get Smart. Originally planned as a TV movie, when Universal discovered how popular Get Smart was, they moved it to a theatrical release.

The plot concerned KAOS' discovery of The Nude Bomb, a bomb that can destroy all clothing. They demand ten billion dollars a month from the United Nations or they will detonate the bomb, making everyone nude.

Max, now working for PITS -Provisional Intelligence Tactical Service, teams up with several new agents to foil the plot- weapons specialist Carruthers (Norman Lloyd), teen geniuses Pam and Jerry Krubney, and Agents 22,34, and 36. Larabee also helps Max, especially with his plan for people to wear food instead of cloth, thereby defeating the purpose of the Nude Bomb

SIA…don’t mean to be preachy…its just my take.

We played our ace too soon….which surprises me b/c Dubya was spot on in the weeks following 9/11: Find al-Qeada where they are, eliminate al-Qeada, use sticks and carrots along the way to force the hands of others. Said this was a new and different war and that tanks rolling across boundaries wouldn’t win it. To me, he was right. Then…he rolled tanks across boundaries, occupied a city, and declared victory. So now…

1.) Our ground forces are currently occupied. If Iran (which was the more dangerous option of the two to begin w/ -a Shia theocracy) tried this if Saddam had been further isolated (he was already the virtual mayor of Baghdad)…we’d have more options.
Currently, we’d have to redeploy forces from South America to Korea to invade Iran.

2.) If Iraq had been handled differently, we’d have more leverage w/ China and Russia. They don’t need us to not to play our ace and invade nations around their borders. We now need them to help us pressure nations like Iran and N. Korea.

3.) We’ve lost any support we could’ve gained from the Muslim street, and hence, Muslim governments. We played our hard-line ace early and lost the only democracy (Turkey) early. Even the most autocratic of regimes (the Saudis) cant afford to support us w/ a broad strike now…they’d be overthrown.

4.) We’ve lost the unanimous support we garnered on 9/11 from Europe. Even Britain will have a hard time goin w/ us now….it’ll just be us (and maybe Israel if it gets bad enough) this time around.

5.) Which leads us to Israel…if they openly join us in a strike against Iran, we might as well nuke the region now and begin a post-nuke strategy for the rest of the globe. It’ll be a lot easier than nation-hopping from Gaza to Jakarta.

Pentagon leaders are scared to death of striking Iran and are trying to distance themselves from the administration’s rhetoric…they know where it will lead. We took a big gamble on the neocon vision for the Middle East and the globe…as of right now, its not lookin too good.

Dude, 90% of the problem in Iraq are AQ/Sunni related. This is why the British are in southern Iraq with the shi-ites. Sure, it hasn't been a match made in heavan, but they haven't turned out to be the real cockroaches here. I wouldn't put it past them, though, to turn against us.

I wonder what would have happened if we didn't topple their new socialist government in 1953?

I think many people are underestimating the forces of nationalism between Iran and Iraq here. It wasn't that long ago they were butchering each other by the millions, consider me less than swayed by playing off of religious sects as a means workable diplomacy. The absolute best response I can think of is keep the rhetoric strong but not overbearing and if Israel happens to destroy them, we get rearry, rearry mad, and write them a retter telling them how mad we are.

You do make some good points. I was asking an honest question and it wasn't loaded.

Your point #1 is something that I'm actually very concerned with. I believe our ground forces (Army and Marines) are just way too damn small to deal with what could start happening rather quickly if things get out of control. We need to start building up now. You can't expect to be able to occupy two countries and still be capable of doing anything else of substance in the GWOT with a half million man Army.

You don't pay attention very well. For years now I've been railing against W's policy as it relates towards Al Qaeda and Iraq. I've said from day one that I thought Iraq was a mistake and that I wished we'd have dropped a much heavier and much swifter hammer on the heads of those dirty bastards who murdered thousands of innocent Americans. W was in office on 09/11/01 and it was his choice in how to deal with Al Qaeda. I do not agree with the manner in which W chose to deal with Al Qaeda. You wanna talk about balls? Why didn't W have the balls to go after Al Qaeda any more aggressively than he has? Saddam Hussein wasn't responsible for Sept. 11, but you seem content to allow those who were to avoid facing the punishment they so richly deserve.

Bub,

Unless we do something about Iran, you can bank on $5.00 gas.

Also, Iran has basically declared war on us already in my opinion, by arming, funding and supporting the terrorist activities in Iraq targeting our troops, and threatening us and our allies with nuclear destruction. This doesn't include their support of AQ and other terrorists groups.

And who was President of the United States when Osama bombed our embassies, military bases and war ships for 8 years before 9/11 and offered NO RESPONSE????

And who was President of the United States when the Sudan offered 4 TIMES to give us Osama free of charge?

And who was President of the United States while the Taliban gave Osama a home base and support with not so much as a peep from his government????

And during all that time, who was the President of the United States that was busy gutting the CIA and the US Armed Forces while using them in such important campaigns as Bosnia, Somalia, etc, yet couldn't lift a finger to hit AQ or the Taliban?

Sometimes I get the feeling W could set a litter of puppies on fire while listening to Prussian Blue and Tuba would still defend him.

I formally declare that Iran will join the club of nuked countries.

Seriously. I can't think of a better use for 'em. Float some of our boomers up the Persian Gulf and turn every square inch of every Iranian military base and nuke facility into glass. Because they'll have weapons-grade material in 5 years. And they won't just sit on the bombs like N. Korea does. The Iranian leader is crazier than Saddam, and he'll take out Tel Aviv at first opportunity.

Our missile subs will not go into the Persian Gulf, but they can get the job done from the Indian Ocean.

Of course, cause actually presenting facts = defending Bush.

Interesting thought process that is. No wonder its flawed.

What was unfactual about my statement?

Don't worry kiddos, this race is already ova. Just slap the rose ring around my fat ***.

Seriously though, maybe, just maybe, its the whole blaming Dubya for 9-11 attitude you constantly shove down people's throats while ignoring 8 years of history in which we had a President (whom I voted for BTW) that did NOTHING about AQ even though they attacked us multiple times???

It just proves my point that facts and history always seem to get in the way of a liberals argument.

Since the Mossad and our Israeli little buddies have experience at that sort of thing, perhaps we should just let them do it..

Plausible deniability.Who are we to say that plan won't be implemented.

See that's a chicken**** politic-speak kinda thing to say.

Who was President of the United States on 09/11/01?What is this comment, some kind of defense of Cinton. It's lame. It suggests that Clinton's activity or inactivity DURING THE 8 YEARS HE WAS IN OFFICE had littlle or no bearing on what Bush had to deal with on 9/11. His sorry wife had better not be elected in '08.

Sometimes I think that if a meteor hit the earth and destroyed a blue state, Johnny Mack would blame Bush.
