Right, because if we stop opposing Iran they will leave us alone. They would never do anything like, I dunno, bomb one of our barracks or two of them or take over an embassy and hold our personnel hostage.
No, never.
The difference this time around is the US is the economic gorilla and since gaining energy independence can use economic sanctions.
Should’a...Would’a...Could’a... Nothing so boring as a linear vision of history...
Pig Bush should get cancer. What does the MF-er have to say?
I’m glad that was short, because it was incomplete and stupid.
Is it Eastasia or Eurasia now?
“The attack on our embassy in Baghdad came about because we are contesting the Iranians for influence in Iraq”
- buzzwords from the blame America first crowd. I will ignore as usual because they have nothing worthwhile to say.
If we leave thy will just kill each other. Sounds like a plan to me.
> “The same could be said of the Middle East. The whole wretched place isn’t worth the bones of a single Alabamian Marine. America has no vital interest there except oil. And, regarding the oil, whichever nation sits atop it has no choice but to sell it on the global market, since there is no other way for the backward economies of the region to generate sufficient revenue.”
First time I’ve read Tom Piatak and I won’t again. He has an opinion but his experience and wisdom factors are quite low. There’s nothing to gain from him anymore than from Harvey my drunken neighbor.
Candidate-Nominee-President Trump said repeatedly and is now making good on his pledge that we the United States are controlling Iraqi Oil and we will surcharge it indefinitely to pay for the 2 trillion dollars and thousands upon thousands of American lives that George W. Dumbass wasted and never bothered to make the Iraqi Government pay for by taking the oil.
We are in Iraqi now not only for payback but also to let the Islamic REGIME Aholes know that Israel is off limits to their scheming designs and excuses.
BTW Iran was once an affluent country with a thriving middle class and low tolerance for Mullah BS. Today’s Iranians are fed up with their regime and want to return to the Iran of their parents and grandparents when a good stable life was possible.
President Trump will not need to make widespread war on Iran. He will let missiles and drones do the talking at selected targets but to see the regime there collapse, he only needs to back the Iranian people and they will take out the trash themselves.
“If ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ were candy and nuts, what a Merry Christmas we all would have.”
Transmitting personal fears in the public does no one any good but our enemies.
The Iranians sent Soldiers to invade Iraq and attack our personnel in Iraq.
Seems pretty cut and dried to me.
Qasem needed to die.
If Iran wants to keep attacking Americans, then more of their leaders should die.
The Iraq government may ask our troops to leave. That would be a good opportunity.
They can’t use the oil excuse anymore........We’ve got more than enough to share with the world.
Sure, why not? Maybe we can hide under the bed as well.
Oh wait, Tommy Boy is already there.
And he has wet himself.
I just love when some marginally agreeable points derail into utter BS.
What exactly is your deal?
What is YOUR POSITION?
Do you support Trump or not?\
From some of your posts from yesterday (replies unanswered), I am wondering...
The United States is honor-bound to protect and defend Israel. The 1948 Treaty that created Israel, also named the US as the guarantor of that nation’s independence.
maybe I am old fashioned, but the honor of our nation means something and it is not to be thrown away so carelessly. IMO
Using the false meme that we have no interests in the area is a dead giveaway - the author probably supports Bernie’s efforts to pass a bill where if the Congress decides we shouldn’t defend ourselves, then the military gets no funds...more proof he ain’t fit to be Commander in Chief.
When Iran gets the atom bomb they will bring the war here to the USA and kill millions. I was hoping Trump would stop Iran once and for all but it looks like he is pushing it off to another president. My hope is Israel is more realistic and will kill the Iranians leaders and destroy the nuclear program.
