I’d like to be enlighted. Please tell me which country Iran has attacked in the last 100 yrs? The only significant military conflict that it was involved in was the war with Iraq … which of course the US helped Saddam to try and invade Iran.

Iran will not attack anyone. IF Iran is trying make nukes … it actually makes sense. We would do it too if we were in its position. you’ve got the two-three-four-five-thousand-faced israelis that have nukes. You’ve got the US military sitting next door. You’ve got the crazy Taliban on the east in Afghanistan. You’ve got the unstable Pakistan that has nukes … and that’s even a US ally … in the Southeast. You’ve got India not too far away with nukes. You’ve got those wacko arabs (Saudi Arabia) and their great al-queda breeding dirty dogs. And etc and etc. What do you expect????????

You think Iran would trust the US if the US offered it protection? NEVER. Not after that 1953 coup, executed by the CIA and named opeation “Ajax”, which over threw the DEMOCRATIC and pro-US govt, but in favor of not allowing foreign countries like the US and the UK to illegally profit from its oil.

This crap that we’re involved in is all for israel. that shyster country just wants instability in that region so it can continue to justify its execution of genocide. Its as simple as that.

Hillarious that the country that has produced nearly every single one of the terrorists that have killed US and Europeans is one of US’ best allies. And that country is Saudi Arabia. Its so funny that its sad.

The 900 lb. Gorilla in US foreign policy ofcourse is The Israel lobby and Likud hardliners that pushed for Iraq disaster now staging for an attack on Iran.
Who would be after Iran?Syria? Egypt?
In 1980′s convicted US Naval anylyst Jonathan Pollard passed on to Israel top secret US targetting information before his capture. Target coordinates were for former USSR and other points in Europe.
Any concern there?
Israeli oil supplies have been guaraunteed by US .Signed during Sinai II agreements post 1973 yom Kippur war.
So If war in Persian gulf erupts and oil shoots up to $400 a barrel, Israel gets to tap into strategic oil reserves instituted after 1973 oil boycott.

There is talking and then there is groveling. I think the multiple Obama apology tours show where his heart is. BTW Fran, what’s the deep strategy, enlighten me.?

Agreed PJB! Obama has more balls than all of us combined. Any behaviorists will tell you it’s far more difficult to talk to your enemies than fight (or yell with misspelled signs). It’s time for deep strategy as opposed to bullying or reactionary action. The prediction has been that Iran will develop the ability then stop, which is where it stands now. They no more want a nuclear war than anyone else.

Now it will be fun to see if the Iranian spinmeisters are as good as the American ones in explaining the secret facility away on behalf of the holy men.

“And Obama is NOT the guy with the balls to deal with this.”

Minor problem with that rosy scenario. This is going to set off a nuclear arms race in the most volatile area of the world with a quarter of the worlds oil reserves. And Obama is NOT the guy with the balls to deal with this.
