This is the reason for the real urgency in getting extracted from Iraq. We have been at war with Iran since the beginning and now we are going to take it to them. However, one way or another, I believe that Syria will be taken out first so that Iran will be completely isolated.
This "war" has always been about Iran from the beginning, but our leaders don't want to level with us.
I couldn't agree more. When they are taken out, Israel will probably play a role in keeping them honest, in the sense that Syria will be in a bad position when after we deal with them, and may be more worried about Israel than playing footsie in Iraq when we turn our attention to Iran.
Iraq is not going away just because of opinion polls. We will not be able to leave that job unfinished. Perhaps nobody wants to face Iran but it doesn't matter- democrat or republican in the white house- it will have to be faced up to. If doesn't even matter if public support for that is in negative numbers. Iran with nukes is simply a NO-GO.
If the mullahs are going to be overthrown then the people of Iran have to do it. We can't do if for them.
Like I said, don't be surprised if we start drafting soldiers to put enough feet on the ground to take them out. The stakes are simply too high.
One positive thing to remember is that the Islamofascists know that we are no longer screwing around. We went into Iraq, killed the Hussein boys, and captured Saddam who will eventually be executed.
The mullahs in Iran are undoubtably soiling their pants as we speak, which is why they are trying to develop a bomb. Now when these 'holy men' see US troops massing on the border, don't be surprised to see uprisings, as I feel pro-democracy Iranians will know we mean business, and won't leave their rearends flapping in the breeze.
There won't be any long term stability until three things are done-Taking out Syria, Iran, and stabilizing Iraq (at which we are being quite successful, despite the proclamations of the doom-speaking MSM.
Syria and Iran are providing safe haven for terrorists, and frankly, I'm all for pursuing these roaches whereever they may hide. We cannot allow them to continue to filter in across the border creating mayhem.
Taking the fight to terrorists means taking on terror supporting states, which is Syria and Iran.
Personally, I would mind seeing a few cruise missiles dropped on the houses of some mullahs and Assad.
They are at war with us, whether it be by proxy, and they need to be dealt with.
Now how did Iran go nuclear??? How many more of these oil dictators are making plans to be nuclear fitted? Maybe the Saudi kingdom needs nuclear... The world is going insane.
