A big ass army? Who da fuck cares? Israel beat the shit out of 3 countries simultaneously. Seeing Iranian armies march across the desert would be an American General's dream come true, LOL.

The Iranian Army will be wiped out even before we send in our ground troops. Well, we already have special forces there but yea... Our airpower will cripple the shit out of them and then massive numbers of ground troops (that we don't have) will clean up. But hey, we might be able to use some troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, because if you haven't noticed, we have Iran somewhat pinned on almost all sides. Heh, interesting, think Bush planned this? Have armies all around Iran...

Hitman, that is what people thought of Hitler, "Hey, he isn't after us, we're safe, let him attack and take over other countries, we'll be fine".

Not to mention Israel is our most trusted ally in the Middle East. They will always be with us and we will always be with them. We have no other such ties with any other country in the Middle East, not even Turky. Israel is like a brother to America and let me tell ya, I'll kill a lot of mofos for a brotha.

Yea, DFP's post did go a bit off topic :shrug:

It's a good question, though. Specifically the Iranian threat is one towards Israel. It would seem a bit odd that Israel wouldn't deal with it themselves given the situation in Iraq at the moment.

Yea, i did go off topic. A lot of people don't want Israel to attack Iran. The same shit happened during the first Iraq war. Even though Israel got attacked, US wanted to make sure Israel wouldn't attack because Arabs get pissy when Israel attacks arabs. But the fact is that all the arabs would get their asses kicked even if America didn't send in troops or airpower to help Israel.

Yea. Iran has only enriched uranium to about 3 or 4% or something.

A nuclear powered Iran has apparently been a pipe dream since the days of the Shah.

Shiites claim to be muslims, but the Sunnis say Shiites are not muslims. That's why the extremist Sunnis are suicide bombing the Shiites in Iraq and Pakistan. This makes the Shiites flip out and attack Sunnis.

Iraq isn't the only place you see the insanity.

Dude, you think I don't know that Sunnis and Shias have been killing eachother since Mohammad died? They've been beefing ever since he died cause he didn't really explain who would take his spot. From my perspective they all Muslims.

I tend to like the Sunnis better because they seem to be more secular, at least some of them. On the other hand, some of them can be just as fanatical as Shias. Even not all Shias crazy fucks.

DFP you really don't seem to have much of a clue. To understand the current situation in the middle east you should have some idea of origins of the problem. This might get you started, it is an audio file by a jewish man Benjamin Freedman about the foundation of the state of israel.

DFP ill agree with Roker. You don't have much of a clue about the middle east history. And history books in your school are the problem.

first, Shittes and Sunnis have beef, but its mainly political. They both consider themselves muslims for hte most part. In Kuwait, 30-40% of the population is Shitte, and the rest are Sunni. They look at each other differently but they dont fight. The wars between the 2 are mainly political.

The reason why ISrael and Arabs are not fighting because they are both important allies to the US. THe US tries to keep both of them happy, and part of that is telling the owrld how bad Iran is while Israel is just as bad, just mor eprofessional about it.

While oyu guys think the Arab world is filled with a bunch of angry monkeys running around burning flags alot of business is going down there and Our government knows it. That place is modernizing (places like UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Egypt) at a faster pace than we even are.

We really showed our ignorance when we didn't wanna do business with an ARabcompany when that port scandal took place.

and down for pot, nice sig

Don't underestimate Iran. In the 80's they got HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of kids to DIE VOLUNTARILY by running unarmed in droves into enemy fire in hopes of overrunning the enemy posts.

I don't think this war will ever end until both sides (isrealiates and those who call for the destruction of isreal) are done retaliating. No one is going to gain sympathy from the rest of the world when theyconduct themselves the way they have. That goes for BOTH sides.

You guys sure seem to think you have it all figured out. THat must be nice. Heres what I see.

Isreal is only buying time to try for international agreement on teh issue, but Isreal will not hesitate to stop Iran from having a bomb even if they must do it alone(we will help them though). Iran WILL get a bomb. SO teh answer to the question isnt "why doesnt Isreal have a war with Iran" its "how long till ISreal has a war with Iran."

You people are far to confident in our beating Iran's ass. First off its the size of texas with shit hid all over the desert. THey dont know where it all is so bomb as much as they want and you can bet they will miss stuff. Secondly they are not going to be able to bomb the soldiers, because we have the whole idea that we can wage "humane" wars and just topple governments(look how that worked out in Iraq) Thirdly they cannot bomb or even know where the terrorist groups funded by Iran(they are still there waiting They havent carried out an attack in quite some time but Iran like to threaten with them, I'm inclined to believe they are just waiting for a command). These groups will launch attacks against all the western world. Our missle defense systems are pretty much worthless, and Iran has missles that will reach isreal and even parts of Europe.

But even more troubling and something you people here seem hell bent on ignoring is that Russia, and China will side with Iran push come to shove. Putin wants communism back(perfect opportunity to break ties with the west once and for all), china needs Irans oil more than anyone else in teh world. and ARab countries have finally realized they dont need to trade with the west at all. China is the fastest growing market in teh world. China dislikes the west just as much as arabs they are just more prudent about it. I think we are lookign at the build up to WWIII. now go ahead and naysay, pretend everything is peachy and fine. You only got a few more years of that mentality might as well enjoy it while you can.

It would be nice to end the violence in Israel by nuking both the Palestinians and the Isralies, they would both be thrilled to not have to see each other ever again and would do anything to wipe each other out. They might not be happy with dying, but everyone needs to make sacrifices.

Damn that sounds familiar. I can't believe you're ready to swallow that crap a second time around. It was the same story with Iraq...They told us we would bomb, sweep quickly over the land, and as soon as we took Bagdhad and Saddam's army was officially conquered it would all be over. In my opinion, the true nature of the current war didn't start until there was an insurgency, and won't end until there isn't one, which may be never.

But yeah back to the question of why we should attack Iran, it seems like you're saying we should invade Iran on Israel's behalf just because we can. What do you think?

Indeed, it would be a total mess.

If Iran's government thought it was facing annihilation it would probably use its medium range missiles to take out Saudi oil facilities (in particular Raz Tanura which terminates the east-west pipeline) then Persian gulf terminals and mine the Straits of Hormuz (the choke point between the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean.

This would cut of Saudi oil supplies for some considerable time, with Hezbollah disrupting repair efforts.

The result of this would be to leave Russia as world's largest exporter by far. It would have to choose where its oil and gas went, to the US, Europe or China, effectively giving Putin control of the world energy market. Something that in the past he has shown he will uses to extend state power.

Hitting Iran from the air will only delay its nuclear program, and a ground invasion would be madness. It would make Iraq look like a 'cakewalk'. This is a country to send hundreds of thousands of people including children in human-wave attacks against Iraq until its positions were overrun.

Personally i dont see Iran being much of a threat if they were really trying to make nuclear weapons i doubt they would announce it thus drawing attention to themselves, thus getting our president all excited about the possiblility of the chance to spill more blood. I think the iranian government just wants to act hard, however i am confident that we will most likely be invading iran, losing more young americans to an undeclared war, increasng the national defecit, and giving our president another chance to huddle behind his desk drinking the blood of freshly slaughtered iranian infants, But hey I suppose its better than him doing coke right??

The Iranian leader wants the bomb. Not for his own security. Not as a bargaining chip. But to use it. He is convinced that he is leading his country into the end times.

Just as bush has said he thinks revelations is happening, this muslim guy believes the korans prophecies are coming true. And thats why he doesnt give a shit if we know he wants the bomb. He has said at rallies that in 2 to 3 years there will be no human history. He doesnt think like you and it is a mistake to assume he cares about anything you think of as "essential" like his own life for instance. Or the life of ALL his people.

You know what else. Weather or not they are right is irrelevent if they really believe in it then it becomes the truth. Thats a scary truth.

Indeed, it would be a total mess.

If Iran's government thought it was facing annihilation it would probably use its medium range missiles to take out Saudi oil facilities (in particular Raz Tanura which terminates the east-west pipeline) then Persian gulf terminals and mine the Straits of Hormuz (the choke point between the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean.

This would cut of Saudi oil supplies for some considerable time, with Hezbollah disrupting repair efforts.

The result of this would be to leave Russia as world's largest exporter by far. It would have to choose where its oil and gas went, to the US, Europe or China, effectively giving Putin control of the world energy market. Something that in the past he has shown he will uses to extend state power.

Hitting Iran from the air will only delay its nuclear program, and a ground invasion would be madness. It would make Iraq look like a 'cakewalk'. This is a country to send hundreds of thousands of people including children in human-wave attacks against Iraq until its positions were overrun.




You are vastly over-rating Iranian capabilities and assuming that if we blow them up they will blow up the Saudis. As if they will be able to do anything except kill each other. We're still in Iraq because we don't want them to kill each other. Iran will have no capability to attack anything outside of it's borders in rather short order. Any mining of the Hormuz straight will be alleviated in short order.
Further, Hezbollah seems to be largely a Lebanese creature. Why you think it can stymie any imaginary repair efforts in Saudi Arabia is a mystery to me.
Russia will still not command enough market share to dictate prices or control consumers. The market share just isn't there.
http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0922041.html
As far as your assessment of Iranian military capabilities it is perfectly in line with the predictions re Afghanistan (they never lose) and Iraq (elite republican guards). The only armies that can stand against ours for even a few minutes are the Chinese and the Russians. And I'm not so sure of them. They will have no air force or navy in less than a week. Human waves of children can't march against planes and missiles.

Iran could seriously disrupt traffic through Hormuz, however it has been considered unlikely has Iran would be the first victim, it it would also be unable to ship oil. Hence why Iran's pipeline deals are always opposed by the US.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/arabian-gauntlet.htm


Iran has developed super-cavitation torpedoes based on Russian technology, that could be used to attack shipping.

As for Ras Tanura, the Saudi's main refining and oil pipeline facility, this is not a heavily armoured military position.

Shah-ab-3 ballistic missiles loaded with incendiary warheads would pose a serious threat to the facility, lets just hope that the Patriot interceptors have had got a lot better.


Human wave attacks may not be affective against air power, but they would have a devastating affect on the electorate back home.

You would also be probably be facing a Shia uprising in Iraq, just to add to the joys of the day.


As for overestimating their capabilities, I may be, I have no doubt that Iran could not win against the US, but it could cause a lot of trouble.

What gives Russia the power is as a replacement swing producer if Saudi is taken out of supply,

Assuming Iran is not supplying oil. The gulf was blocked and Ras Tunara seriously damaged, you are talking a very serious reduction in world oil supply, which even if rectified quickly, could trigger a global recession. Having said all that, the thought of Iran getting nukes is truly horrifying. My stock picks for the 21st century are canned food and shotguns.


Just so we are clear, what would be the military objective?

As can be seen from this thread, if Israel were to have a war with Iran, it would inevitably mean the US getting involved. So, as to why not, they would need permission.

God, what a fucking mess.  If only we could take all of the money we have dumped into the Middle East over the past 50 years (military aid, financial aid, military actions, etc..) and have used it to develop alternative energy sources so we didn't need Middle Eastern oil. 

Then we could sit back and watch that part of the world languish in the cesspool that is its reality and it wouldn't matter.  :shrug:

Also I do wonder, if it were not for all these nasty paranoid regimes propped up by vast sums of oil money, while the rest of the economy and social development is left to rot. Would the area be the mess it is today.

I think sometime valuable natural resources can be a curse on a people, empowering vicious, greedy scum that keep their people down.

Well one would have to take into account that the countries in the middle east has been fighting amongst each other since before the fucking crusades, all over religion as far as I can tell. So one could hardly blame it all on the oil.

Wars are nearly always over resources or political reasons, religion is just the way of getting the masses on side, of course you use religion too much and you can start to believe you own bullshit.

wow you guys dont understand those arabs at all. They squable alot but whenever it comes to fighting strangers they stick together. We do the same thing just we dont "fight" we "debate" things in congress.

If we would have taken our aid money and built infastructure instead of food they would be on our side now. give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach a man to fish he eats for life. Like I said before we made them into the evil we face today. Back a rat into a corner, and what do you expect?

Oh yea and the bush thing isnt a quote like that iranian nut job. Karl Rove would kill Bush for saying that in public. Still google "bush end times" read teh stories. He is a evangelical christian. Its his religion to assume the end is near. He has been quoted as saying "the evil one is here" in relation to the anti-christ. Thats in revelations by the way.

peace

You said they stick together. How is fighting a civil war sticking together? I agree with you for the most part, but I don't agree that Arabs necessarily are any closer bonded than any other geographicall-bound group of people

well part of it in Iraq right now is that the sunnis feel like the shiites are in bed with america, and we know how they feel about america. That said the insurgency is probrobly full of both sunni, and shiite, fighting side by side against america. You'll find that Iran and qutar just sent 100 milion or something like that to palestine.

If Iran is attacked by Isreal or the Us, you will see other muslims bind together. Iraq was different, they were led by a hated tyrant we toppled them adn they were happier(for the most part) Iran's people actually love their guy. Alot like hitler was loved by germans. Problem is there is hell of alot more muslims to like this guy than there were Blond hair blue eyed germans to support hitler.

Yea. Hitler never convinced 300,000 nine year olds to tie themselves together with ropes and run unarmed through minefields to clear them out with their own bodies.

Iran has religion on their side. Germans just had nationalism.
