The IED technology has evolved, and the Chinese MANPADS are not identical to our Stingers. I do think every tool has its own idiosyncrasies. When we field a new weapon, we send trainers to our soldiers. Plus, the people Iran is training are probably not the very same ones who’ve been fighting for the last 30 years.
I trust Bush. There’s something liberating about a 28% approval rating - it’s as though it cannot get any worse. I know the Iranians will misread that fact, but I trust the President will unload on them at the right time. It’s going to be a long, hot summer.
When will Mr. Cruise Missile be visiting the mullahs?
You just lost me there. Anyone who will take the oath of office, to only then proceed to sell US Sovereignty away, and to try to give amnesty to 20 million illegal invaders, all while supposedly fighting a war on terror....
Sorry - I no longer trust him.
Let’s hope soon.
Bush has a Casus Belli
if he chooses.
Can’t say I’m surprised with that one
IMO .. we are being played with
Iran is without question giving aid, weapons and some limited training I'd suspect to Shia fighters in Iraq....but the notion they are giving training of any real value of level to the fighters we are facing in Stan....I just don't buy (hell, we'd be better off if they do....The guys we are fighting in Stan are much more proficient then are the Iranians).
No, it will be short, 60 days max. But the repercussions will last for generations..
I was reading USS Enterprise battle group is about to arrive into the gulf region. That makes three now, joining the USS Stennis and USS Nimitz currently in the persian gulf.
Bush would say that they are just doing the work that Afghanis won’t do. It’s all in the interest of commerce.
bttt
I’m afraid that Bush has become a girly-man.
cry havoc and turn loose the dogs of war
They need to quit whining about Iran....
Yes.
They’re just getting ready for hunting season. Afghanistan is like Michigan’s U.P. to Iran.
That’s an ignorant remark.
IV, we lost almost 100,000 KIA in III. It wasn’t cold.
