America Warns Iran to Back Down

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - A second American aircraft carrier strike group now steaming toward the Middle East is Washington's way of warning Iran to back down in its attempts to dominate the region, a top American diplomat said here Tuesday.

Nicholas Burns, undersecretary of state for political affairs, ruled out direct negotiations with Iran and said a rapprochement between Washington and Tehran was "not possible" until Iran halts uranium enrichment.

"The Middle East isn't a region to be dominated by Iran. The Gulf isn't a body of water to be controlled by Iran. That's why we've seen the United States station two carrier battle groups in the region," Mr. Burns said in an address to the Dubai-based Gulf Research Center, an influential think-tank.

" Iran is going to have to understand that the United States will protect its interests if Iran seeks to confront us," Mr. Burns continued.

Iran is in a standoff with the West over its defiance of U.N. demands to halt uranium enrichment, which can produce fuel for both nuclear energy and nuclear weapons. Iran says its atomic program is aimed solely at generating energy, but America and some of its allies suspect it is geared toward making weapons. The U.N. imposed limited sanctions on Iran last month.

Gulf States Prepared to Back U.S. Military Strike on Iran This is pure bullshit. The gulf states don't want further escalation of American Imperialism, they want the U.S. out of the middle east, period. Pushing for an Iranian war will involve Nukes. The Iranian Army is A million strong, you can't win a ground war so Nukes are the only option. If the united States is stupid enough to go against Iran, Be prepared for a whole bunch of Body bags. I think the people professing this escalation should have to fight it! Give Cheney and Ashcroft an M-16 and drop them in Tehran~LOL~.

Nothing in that article indicates that any middle east country would back the US........

Only a sentence about President Ahmadinejad accusing the US of stirring conflict between the different sects.

Its just Bong's cheerleading for war.

And I could see other countries in the area supporting the US. Maybe its due to the fact they don't want to be next? But allot of them no matter how they feel about the US, do not want Iran to become the "dominant" power of the area as well.

I don't see how the U.S. could launch any sort of invasion in Iran with so much of their forces tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan. God help them if they bring back the draft.

Anyone ever read Tom Clancy's book "Executive Orders"? Ok, ok, I admit his books are nothing but mindless entertainment but hey, they can be fun to read from time to time. Anyhow, in this book the enemy is the newly formed country of The United Islamic Republic. This country was formed after Iran invades Iraq, following an assaination of the Iraqi President, and the fact that Iraq was weakened by years of the U.S. fucking with it.

Anyhow, I can easily see why other countries in the region would support the U.S. going after Iran right now. Iraq is so fucked up they are about to implode. Certainly if we were to just pack up and pull out, the entire place would go to hell and Iran could walk right in. Like Zimzum said, "no matter how they feel about the US, do not want Iran to become the "dominant" power of the area as well."

Bottom line, Iran is poised to set itself up as a giant fundementalist Islamic state, one that could dominate the entire regoin and become a bigger threat than anything we've encountered so far. All courtesy of George "Dubya" Bush.

There would be no ground forces. This would be an arial attack only. The only way ground forces might be used is if they decided to take the war to Iraq.

The second a US aircraft goes down in Iran it will be a land battle to save the pilot/crew. Black hawk down, I'm sure you have seen the movie.

Watched the movie and a documentary on the History Channel on it just the other night. The greatest regret from the survivors was that they were not allowed to finish the job that they went in there for. NOW it seems that the world is screaming for something to be done there now that it has turned into a hell hole. Let them re-arm so more lives can be lost.

When do we deal with Iran? Should we wait till they have a nuke or launch it?

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Suit up, all defenders of Bushs' policys suit up, get your M-16 and vest and boots and head on out, the rest of us won't follow an insane leader, I'd go to Canada first. It's one thing to fight for your country when it needs you, it's another to follow an insane leaders dictate into a foriegn land to get shot or blown up for Ego, fuck terrorists, if they come here I'll fight the SOBs, but I'll not be forced to serve in their land by some egomaniac with a my dick is bigger than yours mentality!(BTW I'm too old for the "Draft") but if I weren't, That'd be my creedo!

They're soldiers, not politicians. Their job is to fight, not understand the entire scope of the political task they're carrying out. Your point is moot and has weak inductive strength.

Why thank you for proving a point.....I'd rather see the S.O.B.s getting killed in their own land than on OUR soil.

The right wants to take the war to them, the left wants to wait for another 9-11 then cry when it happens. Oh well..........

YES! By the time they have there first one from now is more then enough time to try diplomacy. Sanctions are only a small part. Bush needs to talk with Iran like Nixon talked to China or Regan talked to Russia. Not talking only fueled the cold war. When talks happened things got better. If by the time Iran does have a weapon and actual talks went nowhere. Action yes! But not lead by the US or in the name of the US. Israel is threatened more by Iran then us, and there is a time when we must stop sacrificing American lives in order to defend land that is not ours. Nations or individuals.. there comes a time when they must act to protect what is theres and not what is yours. Just as in all the BS in American politics now there is just as much BS in Iranian politics.

What do ya say to a dude that calls for the destruction of Israel and it's people? What do ya say to a dude that has 11.5 million set up as martyrs in a Basij army? There is NO talking to this cat or the Mullahs that control him.

There is good reason why the Sunni dominate countries of that region backed Iraq in the Iran/Iraq war and are now concerned with the extremist Shiite element in Iraq.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Iran/Iraq war? OK

US played both sides. It wasn't until later on that Iran felt that the US was supporting Iraq more. The Iran/Contra affair? Israel actual supplied allot of the weapon for Iran during that war. Whether or not Israels main goal was to prolong there war (let em kill each other for us) is true or not I do not know.

There is good reason why the Sunni dominate countries of that region backed Iraq in the Iran/Iraq war and are now concerned with the extremist Shiite element in Iraq Fine, let the sunni-shia battles begin, sell them weapons (after all thats what we're really good at) and let them go to it, pull back to Saudi Arabia (our real allies!~LOL~) and watch the fireworks. I'll bet you this escalation in Iraq kills another 1,000 GIs, wanna bet? 1,000 sons and fathers, brothers and sisters daughters and cousins, uncles and aunts. The death of a serviceman affects many people, none of it good!

Iran has a right to have nuclear energy. There is no reason why the US should meddle in their affairs. Here is an article from the Washington Post saying there is no evidence of an Iranian nuclear program. Make of it what you will.

America needs to stop breast feeding Israel and let them take care of their own problems.

Most everyone in the U.S. has the right to own weapons. Does that mean that we let people convicted of violent crimes have one....NO. What's easier; send 11.5 million martyrs out or launch a nuke?

We will........it's just when Israel bombs the shit out of Irans nuclear facilities we have let it known that we DO have Israels back.

'
Why are we so interested in Israel's future but not the Iranians? Are the people of Iran any lesser of humans than we? The president of Iran feels just as strongly about protecting the interests of his people as president Bush does about his. The only difference is we have a bigger military and are more agressive.

It seems pretty unlikely that Iran would ever want to conqueur the United States nor fund terrorists to blow us up if we got out of their land. Please don't give me that bullshit about them shoving islam down our throats at the end of the gun. It's not going to happen.

Their is just one problem, we are addicted to oil, and were are the oil empire.

So what comment by Bush is comparable to this?

November 13, 2006

"Israel is destined for destruction and will soon disappear"
Israel is "a contradiction to nature, we foresee its rapid disappearance and destruction."

It seems pretty unlikely that Iran would ever want to conqueur the United States nor fund terrorists to blow us up if we got out of their land.

Can you spell H-e-z-b-o-l-l-a-h? Very good! That dad-burn college education payed off huh? Also, what part of Iran do we currently occupy?

Please don't give me that bullshit about them shoving islam down our throats at the end of the gun. It's not going to happen.

How true! There are people making sure of that one!:D

Their is just one problem, we are addicted to oil, and were are the oil empire.

LMAO! When all else fails, accuse us of stealing the oil! By the time we're done the price of gas should be around a nickle.:rolleyes:

What the fuck is a dad-burn college? I paid my own way through state college. I must have really pissed you off calling you out on your lack of an education huh? It's obvious from your writing skills that you barely finished high school, and additionally, have a pretty hard time reading. Quit watching O'Reilly and enroll yourself in school. You'll thank me for it!

With regard to your other bullshit: are you honestly putting forth the idea that Bush and other conservatives don't support Israel?

You're like a flower and I'm the sun shining knowledge down on you.

LOL.....can always count on you for a SMUG ALERT! :D You make it way to easy my friend.

The U.S. supports Israel. Same now as it did many presidents before. Didn't they have History in that fine school of yours?:(

You're like a flower and I'm the sun shining knowledge down on you.

Which way is it?

ps. Don't worry, I won't charge for schooling you. The greatest part is I'm a history major. The irony!

LMAO! With your superior level of education you didn't know that quote was from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? ( That's the President of Iran by the way:D )

Glad your not charging! Did YOU actually get charged???:eek:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

I'm asking you to show me where Bush doesn't support Israel, and why Israel is entitled to such support? If you'll remember, my point was that we as Americans don't have the right to have nuclear weapons any more than any other nation, including Iran.

Welcome to the class Bong30! Please just take a seat up front. Thanks!

We will........it's just when Israel bombs the shit out of Irans nuclear facilities we have let it known that we DO have Israels back. Isreal needs to stay out of Iran, we need to stay out of Iran. We need an administration that will foster positive outreaches to these "enemys". These people by and far want to be friends with us, the militant minority are the problem. If we reached out with some incentives and their government stepped up, maybe we could make some progress. Those governments use The U.S.A. to vent the hatred of their own government. IE : If they're hating America, they won't have time to see how we're fucking over them, this works extremely well, Bush even tried this with his terrorist rants, and we're only now finding out how much he is fucking over us!

Ill tell you why.....

Cause we understand MAD....THEY DONT.

We want to live

They want to die as a marter...


Mybe if amad a blah blah Jab (my name for him) didnt go around saying that he wanted to kill all the jews it would be ok.

Hey PH ,...... he will use, them he said he would....

You are anti semitic, and racist...

it is starting to show.

your true colors will shine......RED im sure.

Lets start by debating how radical Islam treats women.

Are you raped if not witnessed by 4 other men?

Why must they wear full berkas?

what is a Twelver, and why did the Iatolla outlaw it?

Are you allowed to switch from Islam to christianity, In a Islamic state?


PIck any topic to debate, Or just stand around telling us how smart you are........

Bush does like the presidents before him. Thought I made that clear....I'll try smaller words next time my challenged friend.
The reason why the U.S. supports Israel is pretty obvious if you take a look at middle east philosophys. OOPS, Sorry! The other arab countries really, really don't like Israel. O.K.?:D

If you'll remember, my point was that we as Americans don't have the right to have nuclear weapons any more than any other nation, including Iran.

We got them but don't threaten to enialate countries and it's people. Oh yeah, the President of Iran said that quote, not Bush.:D
