Iran is not really as much of a threat that they think they are. Anyone who has done their research on United States military capabilities knows that Iran is just a finger flick away from total defeat in a war where punches are not being pulled. The reason why the United States is perceived as having a difficult time winning current conflicts is because of measured military response practices and political correctness. If the time ever comes where survival and victory carry more importance than political correctness the world would find out just how serious the United States military really is in an all out war for survival.

Weekend Wingnut Roundup…

In a week when Pat Buchanan predicted the end of the white race in the U.S. and it became clear that Republican domination of the House might end, you just know the wingnuts are tryin’ to think their way out…

Iran nuclear response leak reveals demands…

Let those “moderates” show us that the nutcase president that wants to destroy Israel is no longer in power. Bring me the head of Ahmadinejad on a silver platter….

I too believe that America has made an Iran sandwich, but I would like to see some movement on those fronts.

(e) he notes that “the lifetime chance of an American being killed by international terrorism is about one in 80,000 —

So tired of that form of stat. It’s meaningless. It’s meaningless because the only reason the odds are like that is 1) because there are so many people in the U.S., 2) a lot of them don’t live in large urban target areas. The odds of you, personally, being caught up in an attack may be lowish, but the stats are meaningless if it actually does happen to you, and the implication is it’s only ourselves we should be worried about. So if somebody hits NY again, or DC, I should say, “Damn, there goes Allah, Bryan and Michelle, but hey, at least it wasn’t *my* ‘1 in 80K.’” It’s a stupid Jedi mind trick.

If anything the war in Iraq put Iran is a far worse position. Not only does it prove that the US has the power to bring about regime charge by force, we now have a large and powerful military force on Iran’s doorstep.

That’s an important point for everyone to keep in mind kaltes. Not to mention that Afghanistan is on the other side. We’re making an Iran sandwich. I’ve believed that this was part of the strategy since the beginning of the Iraq war.

Too bad we didn’t listen to Michael Moore who told us there was no terrorist threat years ago, and everything that’s happened could have been avoided. Besides, we all know EVERY terrorist attack around the world is put together by Bush/Rummy/Cheney and the rest of the Illuminati in order to take everyone’s oil and make the U.S. in to a police state… Can’t you see? Luckily we have heros like Alex Jones!

Oh wait, scratch all of that.. I’m not a total douche bag.

These people think they want to return to life in 1400 a.d.
Stop being nice to them.
Force them to consider their next move.
Make sure it takes them awhile to make up their minds.
Injure/Kill 1 or 12 supreme mullahs in iran.
Tell ahmadinejad his butt’s next.
Do it NOW.

I can’t imagine most Iraqis taking Iran’s side over the US. Sure you will have some, like that punk Al Sadr who relies on Iran for weapons and supplies, but generally Iraqis are going to understand that they would be the primary target to be bullied if Iran got its hands on nuclear weapons.

Why is Iran a big winner with Iraq? Because Saddam and the Taliban were “regional rivals”? Saddam was pathetically weak regionally thanks to the US and the Taliban was still fighting the Northern Alliance, the drug trade, and dropping walls on gays.

I seem to remember Bush including Iran in the axis of evil well before the war in Iraq, so obviously Iran had already been regarded as a threat by then. The truth is that Iran was supplying terrorists (like Hezbollah) and actively pursuing nuclear weapons well before the US took out the Taliban and Saddam.

If anything the war in Iraq put Iran is a far worse position. Not only does it prove that the US has the power to bring about regime charge by force, we now have a large and powerful military force on Iran’s doorstep.

Had Saddam never been taken out, Iraq would overshadow Iran as a threat, and Iran would have been able to complete its nuclear weapons program far more easily.
