kevbone Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 How long before the US invades Iran? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 We don't invade Iran, we pay Israel do that work whenever it needs to be done. If you want to know when you have to watch our Gulf fleet movements - when they back way up, then you can be pretty sure there is at least the possibility of an attack.

kevbone Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Iran will look just like Iraq before too long.....with US troops in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Iran is not Iraq - take a look at it in google earth. Pretty much becomes immediately apparent why there will be no US troops in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Not to get lost in the details, but we're on the verge of bankruptcy, as well. We shot our wad trying to dominate the world, using Iraq as our Science Fair project, we failed, we imploded because of the 'anything goes' mentality that motivated the invasion in the first place. I don't see many new foriegn adventures in our future any time soon. Frankly, I'm glad we've been defanged. We're not wise, responsible, competent, nor moral enough to wield the kind of power we've squandered our national treasure on.

Serenity Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 So corrupt business practices and corporate greed had nothing to do with it? It was out enterprise to dominate the world as you put it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was out enterprise to dominate the world as you put it? As I stated; we imploded because of our 'anything goes' mentality; the one behind Iraq, deregulation, and the current financial crisis. We've failed because of our shitty set of values. We partied like rock stars, now we get to enjoy the hangover. According to the NSE shortly after 2001, our stated, official national goal was to dominate the world in no uncertain terms. Unipolar moment, unitary executive and all that.
