The Enlightened One is now distracted with health care, global warming and Afghanistan. It is a prime time to make a move to challenge him. He has already shown it takes at least 3 months for him to make a military decision. What have they got to loose?
When Iraq invaded Iran Khomeini deliberately dragged out the war for 8 years because it was what helped unite Iranians behind his government, which was wobbly and unstable at the time of the invasion. It was Saddam’s brilliant idea to invade Iran that actually wound up saving Khomeini’s government.
Iran is wobbly and unstable at the moment too. We’ve got a military mutiny going on, a possibly dead supreme ledear, and several million angry, rioting voters. Nothing like taking over some Iraqi oil wells and provoking conflict to try & get the people united behind the regime....(it’s not going to work though)
I’m glad we have a strong leader in the White House who will stand up to middle eastern thugs, a man who has no reservations about crushing our enemies, a great American patriot who will fight... oh never mind.
Can any experts help us know what to believe here? Military people what is this on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being nuke em?
To me its jaw dropping but I say this in another reports saying no big deal ho hum. Which is it???
“”periodically, about every few months, the oil ministry guys from Iraq will go ... to fix something or do some maintenance. They’ll paint Iraqi colours and throw an flag up.
“They’ll hang out there for a while, until they get tired, and as soon as they go away, the Iranians come down the hill and paint it Iranian colours and raise an Iranian flag. It happened about months ago and probably happen again.””
Time to test those Iraqi Armed Forces we have been training. Will they fire on their Shiite bretheren?
You do have troops and military hardware to take back said disputed oil well, Iraqi General? Chop, chop.
But we have no Commander-in-Chief.
