I like the way Cuba sums up our situation with Iran
 

Makes me feel warm & roman all over :1orglaugh

"If Washington succeeds in controlling Iran, it would also have the military control of the eastern coast of the Gulf and the southern coast of the Caspian Sea, its oil and gas reserves, both regarded as the second largest in the world .

The United States already has the military control of part of the Caspian basin and the corridor that allows for communication between that area and the Indian Ocean (Afghanistan and Pakistan). Most of the Gulf (Saudi Arabia and Iraq) is also under the US's military control. Thus, at the end of this operation, Washington would own the most important current hydrocarbon exploitation areas and the main reserves still to be exploited. The world economy would then be in the hands of the United States, which would have absolute power."

its pretty obvious this is about WMD and not oil...I mean come on...

plus those pesky terrorist's...tskk tskk

We've wanted the caspian oil reserves for a long time, which is why we helped Afghanistan fight off the Soviets... didnt want the Soviets running a pipeline across Afghanistan straight to the caspian sea.

What about thw WMD's? I have watched Team America and know what it is about.

add this to iran proposing a new type of oil exchange..basically do away with the dollar

I don't know about you, but i want to keep my SUV....and my filet mignion, & my lobster.

If these islamic fundamentalist wanna take that away by undermining the dollar, i don't see how we could afford to not take control of the middle east.

This is why most people in the world think we deserve terrorist attacks. This is why most people in the world want to see China eat us alive. Because a country won't submit to American dominance, we have the right to invade them and murder their citizens? I don't know if you're crazy or just fucking stupid, but unfortunately people like you outnumber rational people in this media controlled country of ours and it's going to lead to the end of the USA as a superpower. Stop watching TV, we can't invade every country that doesn't let us rule over them. We can hardly handle the occupation of Iraq, even with a full scale draft it would be impossible to control Iran, which is 3x larger and even more radical. Not to mention, unlike Iraq, Iran actually has a fairly strong military.

America attacking Iran will ultimately lead to America being forced to leave the middle east all together, including Israel. All the monarchs and dictators who are under American control will be overthrown, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. China will move in peacefully and that will be the end of America as we know it. SUV? lol, you'll be lucky if you can find a bus. I can't believe people are still listening to this administration, which has proved itself utterly incompetent over and over again.

Bush admin:

"We can take over Iran no problemo."

Idiots like you:

"Great idea, let's do it. I already forget what's happened in Iraq, and Vietnam, because I'm stupid and my mind can only process what's been said on TV this week. Let's kill all them towel heads who don't listen to everything we say!"

Iranian want Freedom ... A lot of Iranians in the States say so ... they want to be like Americans" shop at wal-mart, eat at McDonalds and sleep in a nice trailer park.
They want elections supervised by the US , and want to work for the oil companies earning enough to make ends meet.
Americans understand that and they want to give them that Freedom ... out of their heart.
Rice said that they were abused and tortured, and women had no rights ... Americans have to liberate the iranian brothers .... waht is wrong with that ?

I hope you're joking. You could just as well be repeating what they said about Iraq 3 years ago. If you are joking, which I think you are, funny. If you're not, scary.

:1orglaugh

dude you couldn't tell that was a joke? i don't wanna lose my suv?

cmon man...i'm a fucking military historian

no one in history has ever successfully occupied iran...they are geographically impossible to control

walking into iran would be suicide, not to mention spreading our military out just like the romans, and yes eventually leading to the collapse of our govt

not only would we need to draft our own citizens for such a total war, we would need to open the floodgates over the rio grande & offer citizenship for serving....once again, conscripting foreigners just like the Roman empire

so yes i understand exactly what it means to attack iran, i'm no idiot

not everyone on gfy dropped out in middle school

haha ok good, I apologize for my insults. A lot of people do believe what you said, and I haven't been on this board very long so I don't know you, so I thought you were being serious. The "comedian" Dennis Miller says almost exactly what you said, and he's serious. It terrifies me to hear people talk like that, because we are dangerously close to starting a war we can't handle in Iran. I love this country, I don't want to see it destroyed because people are too busy watching TV to stop Bush from invading Iran. You're right about opening up the boarder too, it will be like the Irish in the civil war. "Welcome to America, here's your gun."

Last time I was in the middle east I noticed every woman I met from Iran was absolutely smoking. You never see women like that on TV when they show Iran. You always see burka covered Bertha's. It's an entirely different story over there.

I just thought I'd add that.

The media falsely portraying an official enemy of America in a negative light? I don't buy it. Chavez is controlled by Stalin's ghost and Castro eats young children, right?

chavez is a peice of shit conman & rode the "anti america" castro-ish train right into power

and although i WAS joking, i will say that 99% of americans, when faced with the destruction of their lifestyle v.s. a war, will side with a war

so even though we know the long-term end result...will we goto war?

probably

Chavez is a comminisssst ... He smokes cigars ( Cuban BTW ) with Fidel Castro ... He wants to transform the whole South Amerika in a red land ( just like GWB jesusland) and wants to take over AmeriKa ... He stole the election that we fixed , and illegally survived a coup d'état ( see, that is french word and itis bag for AmeriKa ) that would of allow us to put a LIBERATOR....

WAR !!!!! I want war !!!! ( but I am not going, too o9ld ... :winkwink: ).

USA RULES !

i thought iran would be hiding iraq's wmd

of course, where do you think the mobile bio-terror labs drove off to?

so your saying you support killing a XXXXnumber of innocent people just so your gas would be cheaper? so typical of an ignorant fuck to do so

me too.....I'm an expert, I watched it 4 times:pimp

there is hope for USA to redeem itself still!!! too bad people like you don't have the power in your country.

most Americans think Iraq is all desert too! :1orglaugh

they have buildings that would make USA cities look like villages

When Fidel dies Cuba will be the porn capital of the world! Mark my words!

My ticket is reserved already. :thumbsup

another person who can't tell when someones joking

How promising!? :winkwink: :thumbsup

There was another country that had similar plans. Similar name too...

At some point, I ceased to think of US and THEM, of gagneurs and perdeurs -- there is only the relativity of DUMB.

No Duh ... any person with a common sence knows what this is about... and if the plan fails, with the current economy, and the big depts you guys contracted to get iraq, and now iran, you guys will probably be in some major trouble.

China is raising, and putting pressure ...

I just hate it that the desguise the facts.

Most people dont get that it is to maintian and increase oil prices. Not make them lower. Oil men in power = higher prices.

I dont think that taking Iran would be that hard. Bush would just turn the entire region to glass, plant a US flag, and call it a day.
