We wanted to fight the Axis? Ok. Sure. On how hot Roosevelt was to get us into WWII, read The Rise and Fall of the British Empire. All the US wanted to do was sell war material and keep it going in the British view. FDR never did declare war on Germany.

Obama administration condemns attack on Guards??? WT..?

we have quite a bit more evidence

There is no evidence.

This is so funny considering we accuse Iran daily of making nuclear weapons with absolutely no more evidence than Iran has of the US or UK being behind this incident.

Actually, we have quite a bit more evidence that Iran would like to have nuclear weapons, and is pursuing them. There are plenty of public statements about Iran’s desire to use them. They have these uranium enrichment facilities, one of which they intentionally hid from UN inspectors. They have thier missile development program.

Sure, maybe they’re just trying to make the world THINK they want WMDs. But they should remember how that worked out for Saddam. If you’re going to pretend to pursue weapons, you better go ahead and get them, because sooner or later, someone is going to take you out, assuming you were telling the truth.

Exit question: Will Iran use this as a pretext to walk away from nuke negotiations?

You did raise the possibility that it was an inside job.

Have you seen the evidence that the U.S. has got?

Also, one must look at history. The US has a history of supporting terrorist groups against Iran like Jundullah and the MEK. On the other hand, there is no history of Iran starting wars – they have not done so for a thousand years.

Have you seen the evidence that the U.S. has got?

I’ve read about the “stolen laptop” with secret Iranian government documents that have no official markings and are written in English, but no, I have not seen them. Maybe the US should show them.

Have you seen the evidence that the Iran has?

Wilson kept us out of war, FDR “reluctantly” eagerly went into WWII.

Iran’s willing to make an accusation this incendiary

We couldn’t do this. Shoot — we couldn’t just drop sundry toys for the boys and blades for the knaves into the streets of Teheran during the riots following the “elections” so we send suicide bombers around now. Nah.

I think these guys were looking at The One’s offer to become our friends and laughed so hard one of them pulled the pin on the wrong object. Happens, you know…

I know you thought your shuck and jive routine would pacify our adversaries/enemies in the world by now. Surely you are shocked that the crew running Iran have not yet swooned themselves into Monica Lewinsky position for you.

In other words, Bro’, it ain’t workin’!

What’s plan B?

U. S. involvement? Heh.Not. A. Chance. In. Hell. n0doz on October 19, 2009 at 12:03 AM

U.S. involvement? I wish.

“Iran blames U.S., vows revenge for suicide attack that killed six top commanders”

Whoa yea!!!
Finally some action from those Dick Cheney death squads the liberals were wetting their pants over.
