Destroying American military positions in the Middle East is the most effective method to get the "Great Satan" to abandon the region, Iran now believes.
"The Islamic Awakening in the region has overthrown many of the heads of states who were puppets of the West," according to a recent analysis by the Mahramaneh online website, which is close to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. "It is simple-minded for us to assume that America and the West in general would sit by and forget about devising new conspiracies for derailing and taking control of the revolutions."
Therefore, the analysis concludes, an America weakened by economic and military crises makes preemptive assaults on U.S. targets all the more inviting.
The radicals ruling Iran have long believed that due to internal U.S. problems, America can no longer sustain its activities in the Middle East and is bound to pack up and leave eventually. Now these radicals believe that they could attack American forces in the region, starting a regional war with America, and have a good chance at winning it.
They further believe that by initiating such a war, not only will they further influence the Islamic movement in the region, but they will come out as the leaders of this movement worldwide.
"Evidently what America and the West are currently pursuing," the analysis says, "is, in the first place, the veering of the populist revolutions toward their large Middle East project (Western-style governments), and in case that project fails, they will do everything in their power to start a religious war among the Muslims; a Sunni-Shia war would be their choice."
Deadly conflict continues in Iraq between Sunnis and Shias, and Muslim backlash festers in such places as Egypt, Yemen, and Bahrain. Iran, predominately Shia, is vying for influence...

The radicals ruling Iran have long believed that due to internal U.S. problems, America can no longer sustain its activities in the Middle East and is bound to pack up and leave eventually.Yeah, I mean, really, what's it been, a mere 200 years? Any minute now...
Iran has been attacking US facilities and Marines
for decades.
Is it not time for payback?
From sub zero?
Such a strategy could ONLY work against the Kenyan President!
The only reason for Russia to build them so many different types of reactors is so Iran can make H-bombs. The only reason that China designed ICBM’s were supplied through North Korea is so that they can deliver them. And the only target that makes sense to all players is our forces in the Middle East.
Iran has had SKUD’s for many years, they can reach Israel just fine. The target is not the Little Satan, but the Great Satan.
And Russia and China are licking their chops when there little Muslim puppet wipes out our forward armys, and now, our National Guard.
Only thing wrong with Iran is its inability to keep its mouth shut.
The Iranians are incredibly arrogant. They probably ought to read up on Japanese history. This time, though, there won’t be any of that island hopping stuff. We’ll go straight to the nukes and then no more Persians!
Dang, I would hope that if we’re gonna pick a fight with this mad hell hole is when we have Obama out of office, because we’re going to need all the best efforts to liquidate this regime. This time we’d better have on-the-ground locals ready to take up the bloody fight.
And that would be horrible. All the Persians I know are wonderful people.
It's a pipe dream but it's a nice one!
Not until we get new leaders....conservative leaders.
The first thing we need to do is nuke Washington and then Iran.
That kills a number of enemies.
Yes, yes and yes. Only their leaders and mullahs are evil. The people are precious and lovely. We all know too well when your leaders have only evil intent in their souls that the people suffer.
Yeah, Russia and China figure Iran is expendable, but then, so does Akbeenanutjob.
The Arab Spring!
Say your prayers. I know I am.
Yo! Hajji! You ain’t so far from the “Shores of Tripoli” and you sure ain’t nothing new!
If Iran directly attacks US forces anywhere, it's like Tehran will be bombed to complete rubble. Whatever it takes. Total war via the air.
I don't even think Obama will get a say in it.
BRING IT ON!
Right after he's finished with another round of golf or another visit to a "green" company.
If Ackwankerwad is counting on his ally in the West Wing to cover for him and do nothing in response to an attack, he's got another thing coming. Any refusal by Obama to strike back with devastating force against the Iranians after a nuclear attack on US military bases overseas would see Zero quickly sidelined for failure to honor his presidential oath of office. And I mean quickly. I don't care how loudly the 'rats howled about it.
