nexx_ 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) Looks like the UK government is pledging support for a US war again. And yet again it looks like the UK + US will be going to "war" unprovoked - sounds more like an invasion to me, so much for "freedom". When do we actually get a say in what our governments are doing, no democracy here. Iran is considered a threat now because of what their president says and the fact that they want nucleur power - note the president has no real power in Iran, the military is controlled by the defense minister and the prime minister runs most of the country. News Article No doubt it won't be long before Howard pledges Australia's support too. Im getting pretty sick of these wars for "peace" (where's the logic in fighting for 'peace'?) invasions by the "coalition". How many of us actually support these wars, yet they never learn and fight it in our name anyway. As if we weren't wasting enough time/money/manpower on them already. This bit is stupid: The recent decision by Congress to classify the Iranian guard as a "terrorist organization" also clears the way for a British backed counter-terrorist strike Uh... clears the way for a British counter-terrorist strike how? Britain are dragged into it now. The only major terrorist events against western countries by Iran I can think of are the Iranian embassy hostage situation - in which the people responsible released a hostage because he was ill, and asked him to apologise on their behalf, no hostages were killed, the other being the kidknapping of US students, which granted was pretty bad. the Pentagon is keen to have the Royal Navy's cooperation in the event of an attack, to prevent Iran from sowing mines in the Gulf to block oil exports in retaliation," he added. - The truth comes out, more oil! :huh: Edited October 9, 2007 by nexx_ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I read inforwars every day and I don't give a RATS ASS what label you will give me because I've obtained it a long time ago anyway (but only by dicks who label other persons as idiots while they themselves are in fact the idiots for labeling others in the blink of an eye with their high-horse attitude) and it does not matter how people will stigmatize me because I know from reading a great deal about this fucked up world every day what is truly going on. And if you want to know what is really going on you have to read books from ex CIA officers, professors, historical figures, (auto)biographies of statesmen, pro one world government writers etc. What you are claiming is totally wrong. Read your post again and tell me you didn't just sound like a Fox Hannity/whatshisass dickhead. You have never read that site so don't come acting like a pretentious dick telling us how it is with your oh so witty but oh so boring, overused and totally uninsightful jokes on "alarmist sites". You are either too weak to think for yourself and try and get some real information in your hands or you're just one of those idiots who does whatever the mob does. And the mob judges on people who are not walking in a straight line. And I'm not just pissed because you are disrespecting Alex Jones but I'm especially pissed off because of your childish, retarded attitude towards this issue. And it's not just you, it seems to be the majority of this forum. But as soon as someone comes with facts I guess you'll all put your fingers in your ears and go LALALALALALA. I could BURY you in news articles that give you something to think about but I can't/won't discuss them here because I don't want to break the forum rules but I'm not going to be passive in these situations either. Ok let me replay this last sentence to you because I CANNOT BELIEVE you just said this: "The US expanding the war(s) into Iran is one of those not-gonna-happen things." Do you have any idea what an act of war is? We're talking about bombing another country but Mr Rattus is going to claim nice and easy that there's not going to be an expansion of the war. Am I please allowed to say that this is a perfect example of double-think? Oh noes he quotes 1984! I guess bombing another country is not an act of war these days, and I'm not even touching the triggering of a whole lot of international bullshit: what you think the Russians are going to like this? How can one talk or argue with this kind of person who doesn't even KNOW what he is talking about, but still rides the high horse? Do I need to torture you a bit before you'll wake the fuck up? When I first heard about these alternative explanations I was sceptic too but at least I had the balls to look into it with objectivity without allowing to be influenced by the mob and now almost 6 years further I'm still trying to knock sense into little kids like you who think they know everything when in fact all they know is how to play bloody computer games.

It was basically a sham specifically designed to just keep the Proles occupied, but they ALL had this marvelous mathematical formulas for how THEY were going to win.

Windows V 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) I seriously doubt that the US will go to war with Iran, if only because there's not enough reason to. Now, bombing Iran doesn't necessarily mean war, but the US won't do that either. Any benefits there are just don't justify the cost. Whoever wrote that article seems completely convinced that the US is hellbent on taking down Iran, but the only reason he gives is The fact that the justification for any attack on Iran keeps changing, just as it did with Iraq before and after the 2003 invasion, clearly indicates that the only thing that matters to the Neocon globalists running the Whitehouse is that they get their conflict escalation and are able to march on unimpeded and conquer another financially independent and sovereign state in the middle east. Does he really think that Mr Bush is trying to "conquer" Iran? To put it bluntly, that's the stupidest thing I've read in quite awhile. Say all you want about Bush being an idiot, but after all the trouble he got with Iraq, do you really think he's itching to go after a country that's four times bigger than Iraq? Not to mention the fact that even though Saddam was hated by the Shiite majority in Iraq, that didn't stop them from going after American troops. In Iran, they love their leaders. So full scale war with Iran is out of the question. Limited bombing runs are a possibility, but they wouldn't achieve squat. Bush is not going to risk the lives of American pilots for some show of force that will accomplish just about nothing. I'm not saying this because I think Bush is this great humanitarian, I'm saying it because it's common sense. the Iranian embassy hostage situation - in which the people responsible released a hostage because he was ill, and asked him to apologise on their behalf Oh, how splendidly nice of them to be so considerate!

So judging by the fact that non-stealthy Israeli f-16's were able to penetrate these defenses, I think its safe to assume that B-2 stealth bombers will have no problems. They probably used some sort of new technology to fool the AA systems but if so you can bet the US has it too. Edited October 10, 2007 by Mr.48 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IconOfEvi 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2007 Thats precisely it. And a major part of US and now Israeli strategy is too do electronic warfare jamming and surveillance/scouting before the main strike force comes in.

Although the Israelis denied it because of its clear violation of international law (although Israel is notorious for ignoring that) and Syria denied it happened because of the implications in the international community it was apparently an airstrike on a Syrian nuclear weapons program built with help from NK (who seems to be looking to sell off their assets now that they are negotiating to disarm).

We've been there before....*shrug* http://www.derelictstudios.net/forums/inde...t=0&start=0 Sadly the original topic has since scrolled off, but, IIRC, the more accurate translation was to call "for the removal of the israeli government". Somehow that got conveniently translated into "wiping israel of the map", effectively bridging the link with their ongoing nuclear program. Personally I agree with you, but then you need to be consequent in your actions: if you feel the need to do something on that one president, you might as well do something about that other president that didn't call for, but actually destroyed an entire country...
