This whole thing depends on what Iran’s Supreme Ayatollah wants to accomplish and the last I heard of him he was staining his robes running and hiding from what was probably an Israeli “proof-that-we-know-where-you-live” incident.
Does anybody have an update on that report of a few days ago?

The Iranians merely wish to make sure that the oil isn't used by capitalist pigs in a way that would contribute to climate change.

Of course you won’t hear a response from Obama. You won’t hear a response from Maliki—this time.
I have a feeling when Iraq gets F-16s and their next shipment of M1 Abrams tanks (at least one shipment of 35 tanks has already been delivered), Iran is going to think twice about these shenanigans. This can’t happen soon enough.

Damn right it is. As we sit with our thumbs up our hind end, they’ll next occupy something bigger and more prominent, like a border city. After all, the “United” States won’t offer any credible resistance, not under its current regime.

. After all, the United States wont offer any credible resistance, not under its current regime.I worry that zer0 will start babbling about the Iraqi army "standing up" and "taking responsibility." They will, inexpertly, and cause a terrible incident. They just aren't ready for prime time nor is their heart in it.

On the bright side, any workers will soon have new cheap suits.

Huh??
Was that posted here to FR, or was it something you heard elsewhere? Does it mean that Khomeini has been located?? And evidentally Mossad told him, "Boo!!"
To: hennie pennie

I am DELIGHTED to learn that the Head Mad Mullah has received a personalized visit from Bibi's bodyguards.Bibi and his people know a thing or two about operating in the real world. Unlike some POTUSes I know.

NO kidding, that TOTUS is getting pretty downright scary... particularly during those periods when there's a flurry of articles out of Tehran.

when reagan was president and the iranians pulled this mess, they suddenly had two fewer offshore oil wells courtesy of the US navy.

Yes . I can’t wait to get out of this quagmire.Billions of dollars blown for nothing. When we leave the Iranian Shiites will combine with the 70 % Shiites in Iraq to form a super Shiite state known as “New Persia”. They will sell oil to everyone but us. What a fiasco. We should have made them a state and taken their oil. We are such women. I want my money back.
