Anything that quotes Debkafiles is suspect.

beeep, this has been a recording.

Yes, yes, Bush made a mistake invading Iraq INSTEAD of Iran. Yes, that is it. Of course, if Bush had invaded Iran instead of Iraq, the left and the MSM would have been 100% for that. /sarcasm

>>Despite all the warnings and all the facts about the regime in Tehran funding and supporting terrorism, the Bush administration decided to invade Iraq - their first mistake. Going against the international community the bush administration decided to eliminate the threat in Iraq, ignoring the facts that the real threat is next door in Tehran.<<

The author doesn't think we would have had to go against the international community to deal with Iran?

We still will.

That said, the case against Iran is much better than Iraq.

Where was all this "Iran! No Nukes!!" outrage in the 90s when maniacal Pakistan detonated their first test nuke?

Let's see:

Pakistan:

1. HATES Israel (like Iran)
2. HATES America (like Iran. Once Musharraf leaves power, Islamic theocracy will re-assume power)
3. HAS Nukes (unlike Iran, which has yet to actually detonate one)
4. Harbors terrorists (duh..also like Iran)

Curious.

Iraq was firing missiles at our planes, openly violating UN Resolutions, and violating our truce agreement from 10 years before.

We took action, and got nothing but grief for it from the media and much of the international community. Such a "pre-emptive" action was SHOCKING!!

Attacking Iran? Yeah, that would have gone over much better [/sarcasm]

To make this even more obvious, the U.N. nuclear agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei has pushed the idea of a nuclear Islamic republic.

When a guys first name is Mohamed I just don't feel comfortable with him guarding the Islamic nuclear hen house in Iran.- tom

LOL, the trash-talking cultist of Iran seems to be supported by his people.

They want the bomb, and don't mind his death-threats to Jews, in fact Iranians seem to be quite content, unlike Iraqis under Saddam and Sons.

I see no reason for our guys to risk lives for a people who believe Israel should be wiped off the map, if war comes, it will not be a war of liberation for the Iranian people.

"Going against the international community"

Really?

[r9etb]

the Bush administration decided to invade Iraq - their first mistake.

Not a mistake -- a strategic gem. Iraq needed to be taken care of in any case, and we did it at preposterously low cost. Now we've got a huge base of operations right next to Iran (and Syria), just when they need to be taken care of, too.

Here's where I stopped reading:
ignoring the facts that the real threat is next door in Tehran

Seems the author has ignored the fact that we have Iran surrounded. This has been, so far, one of the most successful military campaigns in the history of the world.

The LAST mistake?
I don't think there was a first mistake. These things take time. It will take patience and a concerted effort to undo 1400 years of Muslim aggression. They must be defeated country by country, town by town, mile by mile, foot by foot,inch by inch. Until there are no more.
We must declare islam as not being a religion, remove all tax exempt status of mosques with in our country. Declare them delinquent on all taxes retroactive to the day they were built. Any gathering of muslims should be treated as conspiracy to commit mass murder and they should be deported after the guilty finding.
It will be a long and tedious project but well worth the effort.
