Chief skin Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 This could be good for mccain (gop is seen as the hawks and better at Natl security then the dems. However, Junior bush kind of tarnished that image) We are bogged down in 2 places are we going for 3 or do we ask the Israelis to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes down to it, we'll probably give Israel the green light for them to do it and then cover their ass(ets) once the shiite hits the fan.

Chief skin Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I agree...North Korea backed down...I don't see Iran doing the same. Like in the first gulf war we moved patriot anti missle batteries to Israel, I hope they are still there or are on the way. The assaholahs in Iran will bombard Israel but, will get it back tenfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrellsMyHero28 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 This could get exciting, fast. I just want to know--if we're going to just bomb the ever living **** out of Iran and not occupy the country--as Sarge wants, why didn't we do that in Iraq?

Sonny Joe Hog Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Iran might be able to get away with firing a couple of missles at Israel or at U.S. troops in Iraq without causing a regional conflict because the response might be limited. Nevertheless, if they do fire on Israel, they can kiss their nuclear facilities goodbye. If the Iranians were to coordinate attacks on Israel or U.S. troops with Hezbollah or Al Queda or fire a barrage of missles, their armed forces will be annihilated by Israeli and U.S. forces. The Iranians need to be careful because both Israel and the U.S. have limited conventional forces that would make it difficult for them to fight a conventional war on multiple fronts. For that reason, as a matter of survival, Israel might feel the need to resort to a nuclear response. This is a very dangerous situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all of us want to know why. I wanted to see "shock and awe" and didn't feel either of those after we attacked. But, now Iraq is getting on its feet, and the land that is currently Iran can be split between Afghanistan and Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a war, it's because we or Israel attacks them. I see their exercise today as completely rational response to our increasingly belligerent rhetoric.

MDRedskinsFan Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Kind of off topic, but when **** hits the fan, we want an oil-loving Prez to be in charge so we can take over the oil fields that remain. Knowing Obama, he'd just say no thanks. But back to the topic, this is a very dangerous situation and I think it was reported that Israel wants to act on this while GWB is POTUS so they know they'll be backed up in their actions. They're worried that Obama won't support their cause as much, which would be a huge mistake because through thick and thin, they have been there more than anybody else on our side. We could become imperialistic and they would still be on our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that he would, I only said that its a concern of Israel's. I hope we can resolve this diplomatically, because I'm not sure how this would pan out if we did go through with attacking Iran. And, we should be wary of North Korea too, they might have done this to appease Iran and if we jump at Iran, then North Korea may be covering for them and will have their own "response."
