The Coming Iran War?
 

Last week twelve US warships and at least one Israeli warship passed through the Suez Canal on their way to the Red Sea. Included among the US fleet is the aircraft carrier, USS Harry S Truman. Today we learn that the Israeli Air Force have set up base at a Saudi airfield near Tabuk in north-west Saudi Arabia despite earlier denials from the Saudi government that it had given the Israelis permission to use its airspace to attack Iran. We also learn that American and possibly Israel forces are also gathering at bases in Azerbaijan at the north-west border of Iran.

What say you?

Shock & Awe Part II :ak47:

No... the coming debt

dont worry spain will pay for this one

That is what you get for supporting Israel you zionist fucksticks. :)

I think we should invade and take Somalia too. It's time.

Obama is becoming Bush III

Nah, Bush III will come in 2012 when Jeb Bush runs.

Obamanation is far worse than Bush ever was

Saudi Arabia and the other Middle Eastern countries will allow Israel to do what they need to do... they just can't admit it. None of them like Iran (well, aside from Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria.)

Omg SA can't help these Americans Infidels against our muslim brothers!!!

looks like they're trying to help their business buddies "cash in" on another war

the u.s won't be a real part of it, our commanders in charge are smart enough to know not to engage in 3 wars at the same time, also, the resources simply are not there. the fleet movement is somesort of gamesmanship, that's what they do. not saying israel isn't going to attack iran in some way, but it will be the typical back and forth that goes on over there every so often- israel strikes fast and hard, israel's enemies lob some shit that way, civilians die, cease fire, cease fire off, cease fire for holiday weekend, blah, etc,

Don't be so sure, remember that Iraq is on one side of Iran and Afghanistan is on the other, just combine them, 3 countries in one package

don't think syria likes iran... it's just the sryia is over run with hezbolla and they can't get rid of them

Exactly... so the question is, after Iran is conquered, will that combined region of Iraq, Iran, & Afghanistan become USA II or Israel II?

Iraqananistan.

i want this to happen and i will gladly pay 80% of my income in taxes to see it happen...

the economy is in a downward spiral, there is now end in sight to iraq or afghanistan..

now we are slowly inching deeper into pakistan..

fuck it... let's do this..

lets go all in and lets let some nukes fly too...

if you are going to call yourself a superpower, then start acting like one..






.

the resources aren't there, our troops are already spread thin throughout iraq and afghanistan. our commanders know this, they boil it down to numbers + historical data = statistical outcome. we would have to draw down troops elsewhere and redeploy them to iran, so if we ever do invade iran, we'd at least have an early warning vis a vis our troops not already deployed.

we've been almost at war with iran for 8 years now.

propaganda that benefits both the ruling classes of the united states and iran.

Need money to go to war. We already spent our war tokens. We will be watching this one from the side lines.

We can just print more. We did it for Wall Street. War is much more profitable.

Should of left Saddam in power. He would of never allowed Iran to have Nuclear weapons. Or Iran would of used them on Iraq.

How can the US afford another war? Maybe they should better start to reduce the bubble that they and all industrial nations are built on and that will sooner or later burst in a giant mess...

It's going to get crazier in a crazy part of the world.

Penn Jillette said it best

My cousin sent us am email from Afghanistan last week saying they are preparing US troops now on the Iran border. He didn't say they have any plans but wanted us to know he was heading out to the border and rumors were circulating and he would not be in contact again for some time.

I'm thinking Iran is finally about to be liberated.

On what fucking grounds are we going to march in on Iran?

1) Print more money.
2) Borrow it.

Either way, when it's said and done the nation will be so far under water your grandchildren's grandchildren will be born into slavery, unless it bankrupts the country first and ends up like Greece.

The USA walks on think ice. While war is very profitable, it will be private companies who see that profit.

Really? Just pick one... does it matter? Make something up. WMDs or terrorists or whatever... since when have we ever needed an actual reason to invade any damn where we please?

Freedom Fries would be the most logical after the Green Movement.

Although you're right, I think they're gonna do it anyways. This oil spill is a perfect distraction.

I like Iran's president actually, he speaks more truth than any us president in recent times. Sorry to see that he's gonna be attacked for no reason.

this will be not good ....

is there be a nuke war? to clean us from this beautiful planet

what oil spill? i was noticing today & yesterday it's already losing news coverage by the majors.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I think there will be some sort of evacuation.

Anyways here's a letter from castro about the coming war, take it for what its worth.

http://www.cuba.cu/gobierno/reflexio.../f270610i.html

evacuation of the news? i was thinking, it was actually dropped even earlier, the sunday morning news shows reported the news about it but it was not a roundtable topic- a clear sign the interest is waning, imo.

Reflections by comrade Fidel, nice! never been sent a link like that, heheh. i had a hard time reading it though, basically shit will hit the fan before the 2nd phase of the world cup soccer finals? is that the gist of it?

N Korea is sooooooo lucky they don't have any resources the US wants.

No, evacuation of the coast crazy ass. Some of my friends and family are already leaving.

I don't know I had a hard time reading it too lol:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh doh, i'm loaded up on caffeine&thc! :1orglaugh

Lies. Lies lies lies lies.

Do the math. Figure out how many men (and women) we have in Iraq and Afghanistan. It sounds like a staggering number.

There's currently less than 100k in Iraq. There is 94k in Afighanistan. So figure like 200k troops total.

Then figure the US Marines, the smallest branch, has some 400k members. Do the math. If we need to deploy two hundred thousand troops into Iran, we can. Not to mention we already have the infrastructure - Iran is surrounded by GASP Iraq and Afghanistan.... And all of our troops there.

Trust me, if we needed to.... We could place millions of troops into another country if given enough time.

America is in every single country surrounding iran from what I see.

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

No matter what you think about iran, this war will shoot gas prices sky high in the US

Fear of potential Iranian nuclear blackmail in the region methinks.

Of course, this might well be a more compelling reason.

As I recall, Shrub didn't take too kindly to Saddam pulling the same stunt back in '03.

if you want to boil troop deployment statistics down to # of troop deployed compared to total troops, you begin by oversimplifying the statistics. dwell ratios, european deployments, homeland security deployments, deployment time used, cooks, supply chain resources, adminstrative staff,etc are all MAJOR factors. i won't sit here and claim i understand it, but to say it's as simple as you describe is way off.

Interesting stuff right there.

Everyone loves a good War Thread!

Do you believe we will live through WWIII?
