We really need to be doing something about Iran -- yesterday.
"prepare to take revenge”
I must have missed something.....revenge for what? Being free?
I hate to say it but I believe that Iran will instigate a war in the Middle East this month... all the signs are there and they are increasing daily.
How much warning and blustering must we absorb, before we flatten the bastard and everything near him?
Must we wait for the mushroom clouds over America and Israel before we respond?
Semper Fi
Thanks DoctorZIn.
The 22nd of August is fast approaching.
We've been at war with Iran since '79, but just didn't want to realize it.
Check out these threads from Monday and Sunday also.

With all of the bleeding hearts, do-gooder and procrastinators that are elected officials, the answer will probably be YES because we need proof of the country that either launched or set off the weapon. Of course the MSM will do its best to show the massacre of those "innocents" when we finally do retaliate.
Do they have milk factories on Takte Tavoos Street in Tehran?
I SOOOO agree with you!
About our military in Iraq, and our contractors,,,we would have to get them out. We would have to give them a few hours warning to GET OUT!
Even on a windy day, if a nuke were exploded in the air, our troops could don their NBC suits and if they are 100 miles out or more, they are probably ok. Theoretically, it is asserted that fallout could reach the US. Again, fallout rides on the wind. The most recent info we have on this is the Chernobyl incident.
The questions still remain on all the variables, but my point is: it IS possible to have healthy survivors after a nuke that is dropped halfway around the world. Was there any documentation of fallout 'effects' in the US from the bombs dropped in Japan in WWII? Now, it is only fair to say, the nukes we have now are at least 10x stronger per warhead (selectable yield), so 80x stronger than what Japan received.
Has anyone noticed that although Russia and China protect Iran in the Security Council, neither country has even hinted about jumping in and defending Iran should things get really hairy. Has there been any country/state who has said, 'if Iran gets nuked, then a nuke will be fired in their defense'...? Iran has NOT ONE COUNTRY covering their a$$$. Just a thought.
Iran's behind the mess in Lebanon - and they've pushed for North Korea's launches.
They've tried to ignite a civil war in Iraq...
So what's left? Pakistan? Overthrow the "western" part of the House of Saud?
Here's what I fear -- Iran's sifting -- who will stand with them, who won't. Who's weak, who's not -- who can be manipulated. Iran's not kidding, they're going for World War III.
It is time this crazy regime is taken down. Prayers for our Iranian friends.....and the world.
