A politically correct war can never be won. Political correctness guarantees a military loss.
Realists told you this would happen over three years ago....Exactly. We took Iran's mortal enemy out of the picture for them. Why should we be surprised that Iran now has more time and resources for mischief? Realists think about balance of power and consequences.
It's a comin'...and it's coming soon.
Iran is about to get control of Iraq's oil regions, and we are going to be left (maybe) with the Sunnis and Kurds as the only hands to play against the Shia.
Didn't have to be this way if we used our position to go forward, instead of wimping out. I can't imagine we are going to attack the Iranian nukes if we run from Iraq and allow Iraq to become partnered with Iran.
We need to bomb the daylights out of Ahmadinejad and his Iran N-O-W!!!

... has a hand in all that has happened in Iraq.Most of what Iran has had a hand in with regards to Iraq in the last 26 years is to gas them with chemical weapons and to recover from being gassed themselves. Iran fought a bitter and destructive war with Iraq through most of the 1980s. After that they had a tense standoff along their heavily armed border. Iran shed no tears over the fall of Sadam.
If America had been of one mind we could have brought democracy to the middle east, but US politics and the quest for personal power was more important to the left. They couldn't see the bigger picture. They won their war, but brought even more chaos to the rest of the world because of it.
Iran has agreed to only use their specially manufactured shape charges on American forces. Bastards..
Yes, and this never made sense unless Iraq was to be a strategic point from which we could attack, control, at least pressure Iran and to some extent Syria.There was a time when I thought they knew something secret that made this ridiculous situation make sense. I'm starting to see they just weren't thinking about the consequences of starting this war.
Gosh, at least now Reuters, the AP, and others don't have to pay for reporters, they can outsource them.
Guys like the Green Helment guy in Lebanon, and others. Just think, these big media organizations can save lots of money just printing stuff from the Iranian Press Service, and the DNC.
And they wonder why the media is trusted less than politicians, and they are bleeding advertising dollars and readers (slap me in the face!!!!).
hmmnnn,ever notice how conveniently located this $h!thole sCab Iran is relative to afghanistan And iraq? AND theres a open ocean out the backside?
I think the scab will be coming off shortly....
some of the blame needs to vest with jimmy c. he shud a dealt it then but was afraid to stir the pot. NOW look whats in the tube!
Talabani is a Kurd. I can't imagine him making any partition deals with Iran.
The Israelis better start dusting off those nukes.
They're gonna need 'em soon.
Yep still about us isn't it? Wouldn't matter who was elected here in the US. The election in Iraq happened before the election here in the US. The die was cast not by action or inaction here in the US. It was cast when the Iraqi people flew their purple fingers in the air and elected a legislature who eventually chose Maliki as President. Exactly what we told you would happen. The Iraqi people chose who they felt would serve their interests, not ours. And their interests are more involved with religion. So you can thank the policy of 'spreading democracy' for turning Iraq into a theocratic state in the next generation
We need to bomb the daylights out of Ahmadinejad and his Iran N-O-W!!!
Indeed, that idiot is talking as if Iraq and Iran are one nation already!
It is as he wants it to be; as he wills it to be. How Rick Santorum had been the voice of one crying in the wilderness about this. Do we have the will and the time to stop this idiot from getting us first?
