Hey RG, I'm not saying that they want us there forever or that they have it all that sweet right now.......what I am saying, along with the article, is that they view us right now as their best chance for hope and unlike before were gainging more confidence in the most violent of areas.
And sorry about this being highjacked away from your original post.....so what about Iran??
Have a good one!:s4:
Ok, back to directly speaking on Iran. How about War Games off the coast of Iran, days before US-Iran negotiations taking place in Baghdad. That should get us back on track.

When THE Iranians catch these CIA guys well i wouldnt want to be them.More American lives thrown to the wolves for bush/cheney they should sacrafice their own fucking kids for their cause.
I agree with Romney on this one...........Quote:

To a man they hate the Iraqis, especially after they have seen their buddies blown up. Why have over two million fled their homes, love of the US, I don't think so. Why when questioned do most Iraqis say things were much better under Sadam, even though they feared him and his sons. I'll tell you why. They could go to the market without fear of being blown to bits, and when they got there they could actually get something to eat. Iraq is a country divided, shia-Sunni-Kurds three separate entities that want autonomy within their own tribes, Sadam had them under his thumb and they lived side by side without malice. The Middle east was much more stable with Sadam in power And it will never revert to a peaceful place. The Iraqi government is a big joke. We bring in 40,000 more troops to help them and what do they want to do, take a two month Vacation, pathetic.

ABC: White House did not object to Iran story.
Mitt Romney and Tom Tancredo criticized ABC News for reporting on the administration??s covert plan to destabilize the Iranian regime, saying it puts lives at risk. ABC responded with the following statement: ??In the six days since we first contacted the CIA and the White House, at no time did they indicate that broadcasting this report would jeopardize lives or operations on the ground. ABC News management gave them the repeated opportunity to make whatever objection they wanted to regarding our report. They chose not to.?
No no, medicinal. Iraq is a much better place now. George Bush say's so and he's the President so he knows best.Quote:

If this were 4 years earlier things might be different. But with the current congress, should Bush do something stupid again he'd be out faster than you can say "impeachment".
Ironically, Iran appears to be a far greater threat than Iraq ever was. Unfortunately, our dumb fuck "leader" was so gung-ho to get us into a disastrous war with Iraq that we'll probaby overlook any new threat in the region until it comes and bites us on the ass.
Thats the only worry. Cheney has been pushing for a military strike on Iran, but no one in their right mind would authorize a premptive war. But what would happen IF during the latest round of saber rattling something were to happen. Something like the Gulf of Tonkin.Quote:

An attack on the US military would have to be met with a strong response. And THAT is what worries me.
Cruise missles and B-2's would be my guess. Maybe even take out the nuclear facilities while we're at it. More of a stern spanking than all out war. You know, the kind that looks great on TV. Maybe even give ol' Goergie's approval ratings a point or two.Quote:
