Has 10 years of of war in Iraq and Afghanistan made it clear to Al Qaeda that they better not do it again?

Apples and oranges. Let's hope we've learned from that chapter in history and we're more effective if/when it happens again. You're chasing a bunch of ants that have scurried and hidden everywhere...a true pest infestation. Iran is a sovereign nation. You can find them on a map, they have a mailing address. Sure, they've likely got operatives all over the globe, but the head of the beast is exposed, poking out of its hole in the ground, sticking its tongue out at the rest of the world.

How do you know they are not doing stuff like that? It's not like they are going to advertise it or anything?

Then I will applaud and have a beer to that (or whatever they might/could be doing. But if no one ever raises the issue, how will it be known that we want something done?

There's where we'll respectively differ.

I say keep the Giant awake...let's not have to awaken him. That doesn't mean he has to walk around strutting and intimidating, it just means people don't F with him.

There may come a day when the Giant tries to wake up and the town folk have tied him down like in the old Disney stories.

The Giant eats a lot when he is in rampage mode. LOL
I think we should support Israel more.

 

[peewee]

How about if we just start small....like stop letting their jackass leader into the country to address the UN...or maybe stopping payment on the foreign aid checks...close their embassies here and turn them into synagoges. "Accidently" sink some of their ships in the gulf. There is really no reason to go to war with these people, just take away their abiltiy to be relevant.

I'll agree with that...good point. Out of the other side of my mouth, you'll catch be bickering about our debt, so let's not get into more debt. I'm game for having other people do our dirty work. I'll file that in the "do SOMETHING" category.

Israel is in a much better position to be a thorn in Iran's side.

What should we do? Full sanctions.

OK...then let's make it happen. No if's, and's, or but's about it. When they release footage of kids starving in the streets of Tehran, not one grain of rice crosses their border to help it...not until they meet whatever strict and high obligations are laid out.

I'm all for it...if it would work.

Turn them loose on Iran like a fat boy at a buffet(me, that would be)! But make sure they know that we have their back, and always will!

 

[soreshoulder]

we might as well flatten them before having to pay to ship all that hardware back over there...again.

 

[DrSideways]

I can't help but call BS on this. Jobs bill fails, Economy still sucks, Fast and Furious is rearing its head. They need a distraction, not to mention Iran working with Cartels? That's a bit much even for them.

You are on target. The chosen one was briefed on this in June. Holder is using this for cover. Just like the aspirin factory during the Lewinsky/Clinton period.

A full on war with Iran is absolutely the last thing we need right now, besides full blown Communism.

I'm not calling for war. I'm calling for a b!tch slap delivered in the form of a guided missile cruiser (or three), a few drone strikes, some computer viruses that play gay porn on their state-run TV networks 24/7, SOMETHING. Not just another news brief and a firm letter that calls them "defendants."

 

[micachu]

As long as we don't get into government toppling yet again. That got old 8 years ago.

 

[FNG]

Why does it need to be a war?

I know nukes would be politically incorrect, but why not lob some massive FOAB-like thermobaric bombs on Tehran. Also, a few bunker-busters on their nuclear research and enrichment sites for good measure.

And forget these partial (tough talk) UN sanctions... have the navy just fully blockage the country.... and thank you very much, we'll freeze all assets and help ourselves to those oil tankers.

Why "fight fair" and put "boots on the ground" in another 3rd world sandbox? - for chrissake, we're a superpower- act like one.

Yep.

whoops- doubletap.

If we had a real leader with a set the Iranian scientists would make a terrible miscalulation and have a nuclear accident of many megaton proportions. Do it when the wind is blowing in the right direction and you remove most of the threat for generations. No more nuke problem, no more scientists, and no more sword rattling nut cases. An accident would have no repercussions.

You realize those are acts of war? Right?
