Iran and Syria Next

What say thee ?

Seems the powers that be are watching concerned but still watching as the smoke and sands blow this way.

Good health and family

I see the same neocon hawks that pushed this country into Iraq and beating the drums of war, more and more loudly.

Is anyone listening? Is there any credibility left?

Is there any scenario that would bring a net gain? I sure as hell can't think of one.

what's your take on iran developing nuclear tech. if they get it, i think the odds of that region mushrooming are very high. to keep that from happening they must be stopped. don't worry- we won't have to do it- the isrealis will.......again.

How big of a spook can you make Don? We could send them a few Nuke Spooks

The Israelis have and have had a war plan on the books for years now. If either Iran or Syria sneezes the wrong way and poofs any part of Israel, the Israelis will nuke the piss out of them in a heartbeat and they know it. That's why GW and company are standing back and waiting. They already have a lend/lease agreement with Israel, hell they started shipping munitions to them this week on a as needed basis which is the basic premise of the agreement. FDR did it for England in WWII and GW is using it for Israel.

The Israelis won't take any sh&t for the Arabs and they won't fool around when they decide to act, that's evident in Lebanon right now.

Why even try.........

The real problem is not Al-Qaida, Hezbollah. The real problem is China. It won't take long for them to be ready to challenge us and it will start with a scuffle over Taiwan, then Japan and of course North Korea will join the fray.

South America is going red all over and the number one bad guy in thier eyes is us. It's just a matter of time before we go boom in the night. Scary thought and very sobering but the truth is we have alienated ourselves from the world for the most part. We have become Big Brother and the little guys of the world are fed up. We need to have a policy change and an administration change. I never thought it would be such an agonyzingly long wait till 2008. Start digging your backyard bomb shelters and stocking food and water and if you have a son between 3 and 26 years old send him to New Zealand. The draft will come, mark my words. We have become to arrogant.

Why even try.........

One has to wonder when the naysayers to GW policies will begin to think that we waited to long to do anything. Whether it is Iraq, Iran, Syria, China, or whatever. I cant think of anytime in recent history at least when talking, diplomacy, resolved anything permanently as far as the UN is concerned in the mideast, or anywhere else. Talking only allows the enemy to resupply.

So what if we go back to the status quo of two months ago. One a week the palestinians bomb a bus stop. The Israelis blow up a car carrying Hamas terrorists(oops politicians) in retaliation. Or as the liberals see it the complete reverse, Israelis first, and Hamas retaliates. How many Israelis will die until the army again invades or bombs southern Lebanon and/or invades Gaza?

What if the Canadians were sending suicide bombers onto the Niagara Falls tourist boats? How long do you think it would be before we should retaliate?

The draft-thats a tough one when the whole world is not at war. I know one thing though. There wont be any Jimmy Carter pardoning all the cowards. Besides I dont think nearly as many will run as did during Vietnam. You guys ought to travel to Moab, Utah. Out there there thier are some people hiding out that never heard of Carters amnesty to the draft dodgers.
