Iran - The War Begins (article)

Ah yes sorry I meant Somalia. No you can't just invade Iran, you first need a troup buildup. America needs troops on the border with Iran. Fireing cruise missiles is fine if you want to nuke something, eventually you do need ground troopes though - thousands of them.

Fair enough but they already have quite a few bases encircling Iran. The most obvious is Afghanistan, also Kuwait, Qatar, Turkey to an extent.

The US public, France, Germany are in some sort of intimate cartoonish universe. An airy-fiary land where we all live happily in peace and nobody dies or tries to kill you. The fact is that America is protecting Germany and the French (who has an inferiority complex over their language and culture).
So the Frenchies can afford to go America bashing it doesn't cost them anything. They know that good oll America will come to the world's rescue if something seriously does go wrong. I mean afterall the French are responsable for the Second World war and the Yanks had to rescue them just like with the First World war

Yeah I love the way France withdrew from NATO's military command but still expected to be protected. It still doesn't answer the question as to why they're "eternal enemies of the Jews" though. How were the French responsible for the First World War, were they the ones that actually invaded Poland? :confused: I suppose you could argue they were indirectly responsible because of their demands for reparations, Treaty of Versailles etc. but its quite a stretch.

The Somalia issue was actually getting pretty serious. Lawless bandits nearly capturing 1000 American, Dutch, German, French citizens and making that part of the sees a no go area for ships is totally unacceptable. A central government had to be restored to Somalia to at least get some law and order - not democracy which only works in anycase in countries with a Judeo/Christian background.

Yeah it was getting serious and I don't think anybody's going to miss the Union of Islamic Courts much either, hopefully there won't be a power vacuum once Ethiopia withdraws though.
 
Yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada. Yada yada yada yada yada yada, yada yada yada yada yada!!! Yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada.

Israel is being hammered by Kassam rockets on a daily basis. We think we have crime problem (which I have actually solved by the way) they have rockets dropping on them.

Yada yada, "Yada yada yada yada yada yada!" Yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada, yada yada yada yada, yada yada yada yada yada. Yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada yada - yada yada yada yada.

For anyone else curious about that bit, the for plan involves building private phone exchanges. QED.

:D
 
I think the following will happen: Israel will launch a pre-emptive strike against some Iranian nuclear sites (Iran threatened to wipe Israel from the map).

Iran will strike back at Israel, giving the US - a staunch ally of Israel - a good excuse to step in. The US will destroy all of Irans nuclear capabilities and gain air supremacy in Iran. There will be no large scale ground offensive. Only air strikes, special forces excursions and defensive tactics.

Iran is surrounded by the US - by sea (persian gulf) and by land (Iraq and Afghanistan) so they can strike easily anywhere in Iran.

Nuclear weapons in the hands of the radical Mullah's is to ghastly to contemplate and Iran's nuclear program should be destroyed sooner than later.

What will China do in this scenario?
Iran is China's biggest supplier of oil, and China has huge investments in Iran, plus i wonder how China would feel about having U.S. foces so much closer to it than before.
 
Seriously, I have to wonder at the people who believe that crap :(

The US can barely meet its manpower commitment to Afghanistan and Iraq and now they're going to attack Iran? With what army? And Bush, who's term is coming to an end is going to get congressional support from a Democrat majority how? The US is much closer to total disengagement than they are to escalation :rolleyes:

US only needs an air strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. Nearly no planes are currently being used, so there are plenty of resources - I am not speaking of a ground offensive.
 
you think IRAN will just sit and do nothing when US attacks?

Israel should be kukking themselves

Bush only has a around 15-18 months left to attack and he will do so before then

Iran is provoking the US and i don't think anyone realizes that IRAN has nuke's and has capability to use them and to reach long distances

The 3rd world War will be a nuclear one
 
Israel kuck themselves? Ha ha thats a good one. They could wipe Iran from the face of the planet with a flick of a couple of nukes and maybe they should. The world would be a safer place without radical muslims threatening to wipe out any nation first.
Difference is Israel would not threaten anyone. It will act if it is being threatened and it has been.
Funny I didnt even know Iran had confirmed Nukes.
 
you think Israel's only problem is IRAN, you my friend are gravely mistaken

look at how the middle east is developing, Israel surrounded

do you think the Lebanese government wont be over turned by Hezbollah in the coming months? why do you think Israel attacked Lebanon because they kukking themselves, all they managed to do was make Hezbollah stronger and make them appear to be the victims

Well they will defend, what else can they do?

Since when? Even if they did - what would they use them for, attack israel? Attack the US? To what point and purpose?

The 3rd world War will be a nuclear one

There is no danger of that happening. There is nothing to gain from nuclear escalation.
 
We will see. In the end it will be the west against the Muslims. Sorry but i have no time or patience for Islam. They cry peace with one hand and their other hand holds a knife.
 
Iran do not have confirmed nukes - but they have the capability to byuild them ...

Quite a unbiased stance there:rolleyes:

Dont be naive. Iran will give nuclear bombs to radical groups such as Hezbollah and other terrorist groups, as they already do with their other weapons systems.

The terrorists will then smuggle the bombs into Western cities to cause massive destruction.
 
There is more danger of Iran invading Iraq than there is of the US invading Iran.

Bush only has a around 15-18 months left to attack and he will do so before then

Bush is a Lame Duck President. Google it. What you're suggesting is not only stupid, it's impossible.

US only needs an air strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.

Iran's nuclear program is decentralized and bunkered underground. If it could be destroyed from the air the Israeli's would have done so already. It's nothing like Osirak.

There is no danger of that happening. There is nothing to gain from nuclear escalation.

Unless of course you're a Muslim extremist who believes there's a future in fiery martyrdom. No shortage of those in the Middle East.

I don't believe they would willing provide terrorists with nuclear arms. There is nothing to gain. Who do you think will get the blame for the terrorists getting their arms if your situation actually happened? What do you imagine the result of that would be?

I stand by my statement that no-one gains from nuclear escalation.

Your faith in the goodwill of the radical mullahs is astonishing.
