Is Iran Next?

Today, they found weapons in Iraq that were supplied by Iran. These were highly sophisticated armor piercing weapons.

With the suspension of nuclear talks by the UN could the invasion of Iran be on the horizon?

No. Uruguay.

No. We blew all the money the Chinese loaned us on Iraq.

 

I don't think so. Maybe, but I don't think so. The neoconservative experiment isn't doing too well at the moment in Iraq and Iraq looked a lot more receptive to it than Iran now does. Remember, it was OUR puppet, the Shah, that the Islamic revolution unseated.

Also, Iran has, what, twice the population? And instead of nice, convenient flat deserts for armored vehicles, Iran has major mountain ranges.

True, there IS oil, a LOT of oil, but I am inclined to think that the oil companies would rather work with a stable government, however brutal, inhumane and repressive, than in a war zone. I suspect that Iraq taught them this, if nothing else.

Hunh. On a personal note, I trained with Arabs and Persians in the Navy. The Arabs were nice guys and remarkably similar to ourselves when it came to training and military attitudes. Funny; I'd forgotten that until now...

The PERSIANS, however, beat the socks off us every time. They were fanatics.

 

Persian women are very sexy as well! )

No one expected the invasion of Iraq.

My advice: Don't buy Iranian governemnt bonds.

Yesh!

 

Iran Rejects European Suggestions

Iran today refused to acknowledge the sanction threat posed by the European community. This conflict is maturing into a world threat that may turn into WWIII.

Nah! Venezuela's next!

 

I'd say we have our eye on it. Syria is probably as much on the radar screen as Iran.

Practice, practice, practice!

 

Iran Continues Uranium Enrichment

I hope I'm wrong about this turning into war but it is continuing unhindered. It is only a matter of time before some country drops a bomb on their facility.

Especially since the U.S. is on the cusp of declaring our right to use nuclear weapons against any state in possession of WMD...

MY GOD! Are these people out of ther MINDS??

 

Well see, if you nuke them they can't come back and say annoying things like "But there weren't any WMD here", and then have it be proved.

 

Is cuba next?

 

Syria

w_parker,

I think Syria has a realistic potential for war. The whole area around Iraq is uneasy. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter if Syria or Iran goes to war. It will still result in the whole region becoming a battle ground.
