Is The Monkey Crying Wolf?
 

The Monkey has come out lately and said that Iran is supplying sophisiticated weapons to the Sh!it Insurgents. Is this a prelude to war with Iran?

OR... has the Monkey cried Wolf about WMDs one too many times so that he has no credibility anymore.

I suspect that this time the Monkey has it right about Iran, and part of the new get tough in Iraq plan is calling out the names of the Bad guys. I also suspect that they have known for quiet awhile that Iran has been supplying weapons to Iraqis, but because they were trying to play nice nice with the Iraqi government they kept their mouths shut.

Bush in his 9th inning has put his best outa the box Militiary thinkers in charge of the place to see if they can right the situation.

The Monkey in my estimation deserves one last chanch to pull the rabbit outa the hat. He has had his wake up call now lets see if he can run with it.

Just remember NOBODY has a BETTER PLAN..they all SU{K at the end of the day...Its the ME axiom Damed if U do, Damed if U don't. REMEMBER THAT PEOPLE...keep that in mind when U go to spout off about how lousy the Monkey has done in Iraq.

Yeah....OK

I thought "do-overs" ended upon entering adulthood.

Of course Bush II is lying about Iran, that there is any question is most curious.

1. Ex-aide says Rice misled U.S. Congress on Iran
2. The administration’s claims about Iran have been met with intense skepticism, from Democrats in Congress and from experts like David Kay, who led the search for illicit weapons in Iraq.
3. America’s top general appeared to contradict claims made by the White House and other US military commanders yesterday that Iran was arming Shia militants in Iraq.

Wouldn't it be sump'n if he was right? Imagine this, Iran had it figuered for sometime now. Bleed out some rummers and spin to the right ear about hwo Iraq has WMDs and it validates the war start. Into it, no WMDs are found and the US looses credibility and devides the country. Iran pursues the nuke effort and even if there is evidence only a fool or a lionheart would go after them. They know the US is all about perception and this feels like the crap a few years ago.

The bottom line, we whoop up on Iran either it unifies all the Muslims or it breaks their backs for good. Take a bet which will happen...

Not a betting man, Mike, especially on this one. The odds are far to high in my estimation.

I hope it works, but I do not see how.

I have wondered about the concept of going to the sidelines, let the teams beat themselves into bloody pulps and then do the necessary mopping up. Referees should not be in the middle of the scrimmage line.

Attacking Iran will unify not only that country, but will unify militant, fundamentalist muslims worldwide. At over 1.5 billion people, one quarter of the global population, increasing muslim anger towards America is not good for America, it's only good for the US government.

And if they do have nukes soon, then what? Let them blow-up Isreal? Maybe throw one at US? Oh heck, they are a good nation, who are we to say they or anyone else shouldn't have nukes right?

I think that even a Monkey would have, 5 years ago, figured out that this country needed to up it's intel gathering.

hmmm, it seems that some one, recently, was getting a bunch of ***** for being over reaching with intel gathering . . .. hmmmmm, who was that?

Oh right, BUSH!


. . .but he is probably all wrong about Iran, cuz his Intel was wrong about Saddam.:rolleyes:

Mike:

Technology is a two headed coin and as far as nuclear technology, the genie is out of the bottle and will never be forced back in. Read some of H.G. Wells predictive fiction on the fate of humanity (predicted the A-bomb about 1914). I see it as only getting worse and never better.

Number one, Iran is not getting nukes any time soon, if the US government (I'm not having any of this "we" merde) is prevented from attacking them. If the US government attacks Iran, they will have a nuke much faster.

They won't attack Israel under any circumstances (unless attacked first), they know what the results will be.

They won't attack America for the same reason.

Additionally, the proposed targets in Iran do not have, for the most part, anything whatsoever to do with their nuclear power program. The targets are the Iranian infrastructure; i.e. their water treatment plants, their electric power generations system, their phone systems, their roads, their public transportation, and other systems. The attack is planned to reduce Iran to at least the 1950's, or worse.

Last, the attack is planned as an economic aid to one mideast country, Israel.

You had it right the first time. He's a monkey.

Now, stop being so anthropomorphic! (about the monkey)

I mean, would you rather have a question that no one can answer, or the answer to the question that no one asked?

This is one of the more pointless threads on this board. It rates right up there with the girl who $hat in the whirlpool.

(Edited for clarity.)

Quiet the contrary...its a conundrum...

Bush has lost credibilty and no one belives him when he is telling the truth because he cried wolf once before...

Does that make it simple enough for you Dotty...

Money the US stopped being Refs the minute we "broke it" and took over. We are in the middle of it, and if we leave it will look like Rwanda, Somilia, Afgan or Bosnia...

Far too simple.

Monkey stuff, really.

Missed the mud pool thread...oh well.

Economic sanctions? Ya, didn't we do that to Japan in the 30's? Worked well with one of our territories.

I say, if we are gonna be an empire lets just go for it. Assimilate Canada for the metal, water and oil, Mexico for the labor and Cuba for the beaches. ***** the rest of the world. Let'm fig'r it out.

Don't U get it, we allready own those places...well not Cuba, Fidel kicked the US out so that he could run the place and that has made the US mad...50 years worth so far.

Our Empire is one of BUSINESS... CAPITALISM...BABY....

Better than the feedback loop in your head

Well, the team just got larger on our side. Am in London now and the Brits just announced that they have started a new operation in Basra and to boot have totally blockaded the border between Iraq and Iran. This should have been done a long time ago and would have saved numerous lives, but hindsight is always 20/20.

They have already found several shipments of the arms and bombs or bomb making materials that were announced earlier in the week coming across the border.

I'm sure they did. Did the British government ever explain why their guys were running around Iraq, dressed as civilians, in a car full of unmarked explosives?

Naw, I thought not.

Lincoln, Lincoln, Lincoln was the GREATEST PRESIDENT the USA has ever had!

Tabsy's out of gas again.
