Russia picked up Iran as a client when America (Jimmy Carter) threw over our ally the Shah. The Russians have been helping the Iranians to develop their nuclear program for a long time.

The Russians have been allied with Shite Syria for generations, and have been coordinating with Iran to defend the Assad regime there from Sunni and secular revolts.

I’m heading off to sleep - nice chatting with you - thanks for the film clip, and that photo of the ISIS pig with lipstick (which will haunt my dreams).

I saw it. I believe in total war. We would have a lot less of it if it was so.

Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Quds Forces, Wednesday told the Assembly of Experts — the body that chooses the supreme leader — that “[w]e will support Syria to the end.”

Pretty interesting when there’s Iran and Iraq fighting against ISIS and US in the air fighting in Mosul softening things up....while BIBI’s getting ready for his speech before Congress....which will be very interesting.

Qualified in a horrific way. Our ROE during the Iraq Wars created a vacuum for him to fill. Our occupation government in many respects invited him right in.

....”I believe in total war. We would have a lot less of it if it was so”....

Yep I think so as well....it’s just horrible the way our military has had their hands tied....Obama always likes to use other nations to get their hands dirty where he won’t....and interesting this begins the day before BIBI speaks. No doubt will be used as political means for Obama to talk “nice” about Iran’s helping hands against ISIS...

BO wants this deal with Iran so bad so he can walk off the stage with “something”....and be the big man on campus who made it all possible.

“Yep, these bugs definitely need to be squashed.”

There was a local muslim Imam on the news - leading a group of muslims to show that they are against ISIS. I believe those were his words as well - “They must be squashed and exterminated”.

That is the conclusion I have arrived at, as well as the loyalties to the moslem brotherhood.

...”Never thought I’d be rooting for the Iranians!”....

I wouldn’t go that far since Obama’s surely paying a huge price to get Iran to do this the very night before BIBI speaks.....which is going to cost us no matter how they spin it.

As for how Iranians and Iraq soldiers fight....they show no restraint nor do their leaders tie their hands....they fight to win. Obama “pays” or “strong arms” others to fight for him so he comes out the winner.

Oh definatly...and Hillary will do likewise if she gets in office....

This game is about restructuring the entire middle east and our nation to line up as their agenda wants it....regardless of the blood shed to make that happen. Which is why they’re getting other nations to do the fighting ....

Iran and Iraq would not have stepped up to the plate if they weren’t “given” something way above what other Presidents would have never offered in a million years. You can bet for ‘Muslim” leaders to fight against other Muslims in such a manner as we see now...Obama had to give them something far more than we’ll ever be privy to.

Kerry and our dufus rep standing next to him.. with these Irainian leaders does not make one feel warm and fuzzy....especially when Iriaina news runs the same photo saying that America's leadership in nuclear negotiations is "wiser" than in the past and closer to "reality" and "logical"... regarding the final agreement....which of course will lift Irans sanctions.
