Iran has been attacking us in Iraq for years. Using roundabout ways of course. They arm proxies armies. They like to have others do their dirty work. Like Hezbollah in Lebanon to attack Israel

Iran is trying to control Iraq since Iraq has a Shiite gov’t right now. They invented chess...you are still playing tic tac do

Saudi Arabia is or was an ally. They are very upset by our recent cave-in on Irans nuclear program

Israel isn't part of the United States. We don't need to fight a war with Iran on their behalf, or to support an Israeli initiated war that would destablize the region still further.

You think it's a coincidence that Bin Laden, most of the Al Quaeda leadership, and most of the 9/11 bombers were Saudis? And not malcontents from the slums, but members of the Saudi ruling class? Whenever there's jihad being fought, where do you suppose the money comes from? Yemen or Sudan can't afford to bankroll Islamists in Asia and Africa. The Saudis can, and they do in order to prove their religious bona fides to the pious masses. So all this talk about "fighting terrorism" with trumped-up enemies in Iraq, Syria, or Iran is rather laughable while our leaders bow (Obama) or hold hands (Bush) with the Saudis.
