It is widely speculated that the center of gravity for the Islamo-Fascist movement, and indeed the Global War on Terror, rests with Iran. They have been a state sponsor of terror since the Shah was ousted, and have only intensified their radicalism ever since. A friend to the West they are not.
They now fight against us—their presence thinly veiled—in Iraq, Afghanistan, and in the mosques of the United States. Europe and the American left is incapable of recognizing the threat, believing that there will be a moderate student uprising demanding liberal democratic reforms. I will not hold my breath awaiting such a development, as I believe that we will see mushroom clouds rising into the stratosphere—fully sanctioned by the mullahs—before that forlorn hope ever comes to fruition.
No, the only way to deal with Iran is to crush it. Militarily. With boots on the ground.
Our military is perfectly capable of accomplishing this fete of arms. But the political will is lacking—and this we need to change. Full mobilization will be needed to destroy the regime, and to do this, the American people (the only people in the world even remotely capable of dealing with the threat) need to recognize the danger of allowing the madness to proceed unchecked.
With Iran out of the picture, there will be no more funding or sanctuary for the Iraqi insurgency. Al Qaeda will collapse like a house of cards.
We need to go into Iran, and we need to do it now. Waiting for them to get the bomb first is the first step toward Armageddon.

The U.S. does not currently have the stones to do what needs to be done.
Agree… and that’s what scares me more than anything. Appeasement never works.

And now they have 200 martyrs reading to strike the U.S. and Britian if they are attacked.
Whatever, homos. 200? HA.
I just don’t understand why we haven’t smacked Iran around harder in the past. They routinely commit acts of war against us. As much as the pussy Left would whine, we’ve been justified to level the whole country pretty much since their revolution.
If only the liberals wouldn’t cower at the thought of doing, well, anything about a problem…especially one as specific and deserving of our attention as Iran.
With the current though process in politics I’m suprised we havn’t had a pure “isolationist” movement. It’s what congress tries to talk at, but they don’t want to have the balls to truely enact such policies as: “Build bombs, I don’t care as long as you don’t attack us. Try it and well frack you up!” in conjunction with the second part of the policy of “Another counrty is slaughteing your starving population? Not my problems as long as they’re not Americans. Have a nicve day.”. Not all that logic is sound I know, but they want a “live and let live” thing going with periods of strong interventions…............... I’m flaming confused with these monkeys. Our House and Senate have ZERO vison on what to support, or shitcan, as a foreign policy! But ohhhhhh hell in a hand basket if they’d agree with anyone , aka the prez man, who tries to present a clear vision. It almost seems as if “clarity” is to risky to support because it means you MUST take a side on an issue. I’m starting to think we have a bucket load of cowards afraid to take ANY stand…............
They might very well be afraid of real leadership. A vision and direction as opposed to trying to reach a consensus on every little fucking detail.
Trying to reach a consensus??? Hell, the only thing cared out in D.C. today is getting re-elected.
I have to say, my faith in the “world body” is fading fast. I’m about ready to write my dissertation titled “WTF World? You hate us, so up yours!”. Call it my isolationist manifesto. I say cut off ties to China (and everyone else for that matter), funnel that money to Mexico/Canada and make a true North American Treaty Organization (NATO). Piss on everyone else and create Fortress Americana. We could let the British in as they would rather be our LP/OP I’m sure that keep being slaves to EURO politics. Yes I know we would have to deal with Canada and Mexico as partners…...... But as we can’t choose our neighbors, we may as well arm and support them while watching the rest of the world screw itself. I like the truths of the cold war “Screw with us and we’ll turn your country into glass. No ifs, ors, ands or buts.”. Oh yeah on day one we throw the United Nations out of our country. It’s a joke and we should disavow it completely as a useless waste of oxygen. Ahhhhhhhh, dear Rat Man, what about out oil…..........???
Huh, you moron, you can’t forget our oil! FUCK OIL! It’s out 21st century crack and I’m sick of being enslaved by it. I believe in three lasting principles of Americans: 1. We are lazy as shit. 2. When you do finally get us energized we’re tenacious. 3. We are the most innovative population in the world when the need arises. My bet, if we ran out of oil tomorrow, but the end of the year we’d have cars running on something else. Oils is available now and relatively cheap, so why really bother doing anything else? See point #1. If we didn’t have it anymore, see points #2 & 3.
Write the dissertation—then e-mail it to me. I would be happy to post it here for you.
Wow, tree rat. I’m inspired.
Note, American is the 2nd largest oil producer, right behind Saudi. If we just skimp and penny-pinch our oil consumption, we can be self-sufficient to the point of replacing non oil-required technologies (short-haul cars, tractors, etc…), and saving oil for truly oil-dependent things (airplanes, military, long haul vehicles).
That said, isolationism is getting more attractive. Double the strategic force, and retract our forces outside out borders. Draw a line in the oceans, and say ‘fuck with our interests inside these lines, and you get to catch a nuke…have a nice day.’ It’s certainly attractive. Tell us more.
I’m am reserching my points for validation then will forward my full fatwah on idiots. If the Ma Duces keep raining death into our wire at night, unfortunately keeping me awake, I may get some typing done. Unfortunately I got some convoying to do this week so I’ll be offline for a bit.
