Why We Should Attack Iran - Why We Shouldn't
Canada Free Press ^ | 06/22/19 | Ray DiLorenzo

Posted on 06/22/2019 9:04:23 AM PDT by Sean_Anthony

In love, war and making money, timing is everything. But unlike love and money, war is always a last resort.

Ever since President Carter decided to abandon the Shah of Iran in 1979, Iran has been a thorn in the side of the United States and much of the West. Instead of a pro-West Shah, we now deal with a group of crazed Muslim clerics headed by the craziest of them all, Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei who, like his predecessor, is determined to keep Iran in the 7th century, and conducts an orchestra of millions that regularly sings ‘Death to America.’

I don’t pretend to know the answer.

But I do know we here in the lower 48 are in a world of trouble with the illegal invasion, high debt loads, and stupid, stupid communists in all levels of government and government agencies.

I voted for Donald Trump in 2016 because I found it repulsive to live in a country that pisses away thousands of lives and trillions of dollars on decades-long military campaigns all over the world even while allowing an invasion of 100,000+ Third World peasants across our own borders every month.

I didn't give a sh!t about the Shah of Iran in the 1970s when I was in kindergarten. I give less of a sh!t about Iran today.

America doesn’t need Saudi oil. Let those countries that do and Saudi fight Iran. Following that, we can clean up the battle damage.

Iran is a big source of world terrorism though. The parts and technology for the real killer roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan are made in and supplied by Iran. They have killed and maimed many Americans.

“Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei who, like his predecessor, is determined to keep Iran in the 7th century, and conducts an orchestra of millions that regularly sings ‘Death to America.”

This is one piece of it. The main focus is that with the Iran deal Obama signed on to they also lifted the millions of dollars of funds that were being held to stop them from their efforts toward a nuclear program. It is now estimated that within 10 years, or less, they will have nuclear capability. Tack that on the that 7th century thought process and you have the beginnings of a world wide disaster. They need a leash.

they only way to stop fanatics who are developing nuclear bomb with ICBMs is too kill them

Fanatics don’t respond logically. They think it is their moral imperative to destroy the world to make way for the next Imam.

This is not the USSR subscribing to Mutually assured destruction. The soviets lost tens of millions last centuries and didn’t want unuclear war. Iran thinks it is their obligation.

whatever else we do or don’t do,
we MUST take away all ability of these insane Moslems to complete their ICBM nuclear bomb arsenal (which is NOT needed to attack any of the middle-east countries Iran routinely threatens... but is ONLY designed to destroy USA and, to a somewhat lesser degree, UK and some European countries)

and hopefully, help see to a much more civilized ruler(s) there, the kind that will live peacefully with US...

the dangerous weapons can be eliminated before Iran fires them at us....by our wonderful USAF....

the necessary “regime change”??? -— perhaps President Trump’s non-military efforts MAY enable the Iranian people to get rid of the dictators in charge there? Maybe....
they had this chance under Obama but he squashed their effort, preferring, of course, to maintain the anti-American Muslim mullahs in control there

23 October 1983 should tip the scales all the way for the entire destruction of the Iranian military and military support infrastructure.

I haven’t see this:

Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of American in Congress assembled, That the state of war between the United States and the Government of Iran which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally declared; and the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against the Government of Iran; and, to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States.

“23 October 1983 should tip the scales all the way for the entire destruction of the Iranian military and military support infrastructure“

Fine.

As soon as the people (House) and the states (Senate) agree, you can go for it.

The guards stationed at the Beirut barracks of the U.S. Marines were ordered to stand guard duty with no ammunition in their firearms.

Has any U.S. military or political leader been thrown in prison or executed for that dereliction of duty?

But the destruction of the entire Iranian military is warranted 36 years later because the U.S. conducted a fifth-rate military operation in the middle of a civil war in some Third World dump?

I'd laugh if that chain of events wasn't so pathetic.

We continue to pay for Jimmy Carter’s ineptitude.

Your assessment is correct. Islam, being the primary directive here, is set up so they either convert you or die trying and be rewarded for doing it in their immoral heaven. It’s very difficult for people with such a short memory of how muslims work when the people under siege seem to forget that attitude with time. Sooner or later it will bite you on the keyster as it has for a few thousand years to many civilizations. People are their own worst enemy without the experience of facing this type of attack. One that is slow, violent, and monsterous.

I was standing guard without ammo in my rifle at the naval magazine in Subic Bay in 1986, when the New People's Army was a threat.

Not to get off track, but we have a account with Iran that needs to be settled. And I have not even mentioned the American deaths they caused during OIF/OEF.

What is the purpose of sending armed forces to these dumps if they aren’t even ARMED?
