You know what's ironic? We should be on the same side with Iran on many issues. We should be helping Iran back that brutal SOB in Syria who goes by the name of Assad. That dude is a secular strongman who protects the Christians.
Oh, Iran is supporting the Iraqi government against the ISIS. Yeah, we hate those guys too.
What else? The Houtis' greatest enemy is Al Qaeda and ISIS. So why aren't we bff with Iran right now?
Well that is probably what Val Jar is whispering into Obama’s teleprompter. Unfortunately Iran also supportd Hezbollah and caused the loss of numerous US troops in Iraq. Not to mention they want nukes and call the US and Israel Satan and vow to destroy us both. Iran was an ally until it was overtaken by religious zealots during Carters last years. The Arabs can live without nukes if the Persians do not get them. Unless of course you believe the tinfoil theories that the recent massive mushroom cloud like explosion in Yemen a couple days ago was a Saudi tactical nuke.
Assad’s a Baathist, so was Saddam Hussein. They both created ISIS by funding and supporting and providing safe haven for Zarqawi and Saddam’s general man al Dhouri when they were the main insurgency in Iraq.
