Who has suggested that?

While I'm no expert, the glaring fact is that Iran predominantly is populated by Shiites while Afghanistan is predominantly Sunni. The Afghan people have shown for the past century a tremendous resistance to outside control. Also, the Iranian government has historically not liked the opium trade there and doesn't even have the resources to engage in conflict.

So why in the hell would Iran want to take over? It's a near impossibility...

an Iranian take over was suggested by Donald Trump in an interview i was watching with Wolf Blitzer.

Afghanistan's mineral deposits value was estimated to be in the trillions of dollars.....

But according to Iran's leader "Mr Mouse" , we probably just made that up too.

I had to a agree with Donald trumps assertion that we get the hell out of Afghanistan...

spending billions over there is like a broken water main....of cash

and is destroying the American economy by wasting money.....
=========================================
have the whole military stand down for awhile and redistribute those billions
to cleaning up Katrina's mess and the oil spill mess would be money better spent.

Or redistribute it to all the individual state's budgets
because it's the Peoples tax dollars for AMERICA not for nation building.... or empire expansion... or any other short sighted
enterprise.

The government is spending billions if not or sometimes trillions on black ops....in secrecy...shhhh or the failed drug war... while at the same time
preventing the growing of HEMP which could even help fuel AMERICA...

Innovation is sitting still like a boat tied up to the dock.

California is Bankrupt .... Rhode Island is Sinking.... the borders are not secure... the dog is "off the leash" running around the neighborhood.
