And the answer is.........................uh, no!

The war will result in wackjobs nuclear toy factory being destroyed immediately.

Does this mean we have to kick Turkey's @$$ as well?

DocZin,
As a huge admirer of your work, I feel obliged to tell you to NEVER TRUST DEBKA!

Debka is written by a complete nutjob, everything he writes is total garbage.

Don't cheapen the value of your reputation by giving any weight, let alone mention, of that website on your blog or other media endeavours.

Is Iran about to launch a war in northern Iraq?

The short answer is "no". We're working with the Turks and the Iraqi Kurds to try to reign in the PKK. For Iran to "launch a war" (as opposed to possible punitive raids against the Kurds) would bring them into direct confrontation with us. The Iranians don't want that, at this time (even though they already have agents inside Iraq). DEBKA's full of it, per SOP.

If Iran was to attack Iraq. It would be suicidal on their part. I don't believe Turkey would have any part in an invasion.
But an invasion by Iran would right up our alley. Iran WOULD be blasted into the stone age.

So would the pentagon continue in its failed police action?
Or have the Soviets and Chi-coms effectively cowed our
great leader this is like payback for the Soviet mis-adventure which we engineered in Afganistan , the enemy
of my enemy is my friend (for awhile)

[Proud_USA_Republican]

With over 100,000 american troops in Iraq right now, I'd rank it up there with Hitler invading Russia on the military blunder level.

[claptrap]

What evidence is there that we would do anything or even be in a position to do anything. We wouldnt take out Taliban
forces with a drone, we treat these terrorists better than
our own soldiers. The insurgents could be wiped off the map
if the high command so chooses if Bush cant weild a military
to take out a small number of loosely related terror cells in Iraq how can he project power into Iran.
Meanwhile some idiot Admiral is playing kissy face with his
communist counterpart off the coast of California.
Our military seems cowed and ineffective just like the IDF
looked against Hezzbolla. I do agree that Iran wont invade
Iraq offically just yet but not because they are afraid of us.Bush needs to start projecting power in the Arab world
that means killing lots of people and breaking everything.

[Treader]

Afganistan Al-Q will move first, as a theater distraction. This x-classic Ramadan offensive is onset failed, by a current US/Kurd resolve. We will be smokin' sumbasturds. When iranian complicity is marked- the bad game will begin.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Iran may be crazy enough to do this but is Turkey?

If it's tuesday, it must be time for another Debka debunking.

[GOPJ]

My guess? Iran wants to break Iraq into three countries. They'll let Turkey have the top if they get the South -- with the worthless middle going to the Sunnis... Iran's the power player in that region of the world - and they are a threat to us.

[Doc91678]

I said nothing about attacking Iran. The premise is If Iran attacks Iraq while we are still there. What would happen? I suggest you take a course in reading comprehension.
In the meantime, The NIE report has only been partially leaked, most likely by the famous Democrats that have access to that report. Based on partial information you cannot assess that we are losing the war.
If this were WWII, you'd be begging for surrender at the beginning of th battle of the Bulge. There we lost close to 80,000 KIA and WIA. Not to mention the atrocities committed by the SS.
I think your wrong and you'd better get a grip on yourself. I personally believe that there is too much political interference from the Democrats in this war. They would rather lose the war and gain power than win it.
