Are you sure about that? I can’t think of a terror attack committed by a Shia in about 30 years.

Are you sure I’m wrong? Would you bet your life or your family’s on it?

There are hundreds of articles about Iran supporting terrorism. I am surprised someone on FR is so ignorant on this issue.

For two decades the state department has declared them the biggest supporter of terrorism. Is that Shia enough for you, an entire terrorist Shia country?

Search, read, get up to speed because sure as we are wasting time pretending you don’t understand, they are working on the two systems I said. You might include in your remediation the money Obama gave them to continue their weapons programs and supporting of terrorism.

Look at Trumps speeches about Iran. Why do you think he has tightened sanctions, because there are no Sia attacks? That’s ridiculous.

You don’t have to thank me or apologize, I will assume by the end of the week you will stop making ignorant statements and embarrassing yourself. People with your low level of knowledge put the entire country and our allies at risk.

get busy and stop spinning

here’s a primer and then just search you do have a search engine don’t you. A hits not all the terrorism Iran supports is Shia they have also supported sunni. Reference the first link. Even your first statement was ridiculous.

I’ll do nothing more to help you. I have already shone the light on your ignorance.

Those are cute. You’ve heard of Al-Qaeda and ISIS though right? Those are Saudi outfits. Slightly more viable for the #1 slot by a long shot.

Though I disagree with your wanting to get into a war with Iran right now, you are correct in the Regime’s financing of groups other than shias. They will support just about any group, including Taliban & Al Qaeda, as a means to their ends.

However, the correct statement, is that the Iranian regime is the leading STATE sponsor of terrorism - Meaning the government itself sponsors it. Though individual extremely wealthy Saudis with lineage to the royal family do sponsor it, it is not condoned and sponsored by the gov’t itself. The IRI openly supports Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist groups across the globe. Gov’t funding is allocated for it.

The Toll might want to read about the IRI’s more recent attempts & acts of terrorism

Thank you. I have too little patience.

I believe we are making a serious mistake to let Iran continue down the development path. I take them for their word and i believe they are fanatics; not like the USSR who didn’t want to experience major loss as they already had in the last century. The USSR sib scribed to MAD and fanatics will jot.

No question. When you’re dealing with religious zealots, it’s a different ballgame.

USSR subscribed to MAD and fanatics will not.

Bolton was hardly the only guy calling out the Clinton Administration’s foreign policy. Would that the Clintons had done more about OBL, regardless of what that more might have been.

You see, that's the thing ... Bolton had joined a chorus of "neo-con" globalist jackasses calling for U.S. military action against Serbia, while steadfastly IGNORING Osama bin Laden.

A Sunni Islamic mole from Kuwait or Saudi Arabia who was looking to get the U.S. to undermine its Shi'ite adversaries and help advance Sunni Islam around the world probably wouldn't have acted any differently than that bunch of American traitors. I don't know about you, but I find that awfully disturbing.

No argument to any of that. Oil, oil, oil. I repeat, we are liberated.
