“Me thinks a lot of countries secretly are on Israel’s side on this one.”

You thinks right; Arab/Sunni Muslims hate and fear Persian/Shiite Muslims. And, although Arabs/Sunnis frequently publicly disparage the west and specifically the U.S. and Israel they are covertly supportive of Iran's nuclear program being taken out. And, if/when Israel does make a strike on Iran's nuke facilities, while making a bunch of noise publicly, will be passive and perhaps even supportive behind the scenes.

Thanks for your service!

When I was at Keesler AFB, Miss, in 1976, doing Tech School, I was fortunate to befriend many pro-Shah Persians there also taking tech courses. They loved being in America and Americans. I sometimes wonder what happened to those guys. I think they were exiled or worse.

“As Israel keeps threatening the regional countries with war”

Um - - - “Press TV” - - - ? - - - You have the wrong culprit. It’s the Muslim Arabs and one Iranian tyrant that are threatening the Middle East,

Get it right, if you’re going to call yourself a news medium!

Yeah, the Iranians are probably pissing just about everybody off. We have a global financial crisis, and no time for Iran’s sophomoric bull$hit.

So maybe this Feb 11th thingy that Amen-a-nutjob spoke of was in reference to Israel taking Iran down a few notches? When he spoke, it sounded like he was threatening Israel and the US... kinda’ like holding your hand in your pocket and saying its a gun to ward off any threats...

All the Iranians I’ve ever worked around or known preferred to be known as Persians.

if I had a dollar every time a rumor was out Israel was about to attack Iran I’d be able to pay off the national debt.

The Iranian press fits in the overall Muzzie-hellhole media context. Thanks Strategy.

Hell, we are still writing strongly worded letters. A few war ships would be nice.

Next question out of ignorance:
Israel has subs? Could warships be a diversion?

Put the blame where it belongs. If it wasnt for Jimmy Carter, Iran would be an ally today. And they would have taken out Saddam for us too.!!

I look down below the “post” button here and see in bold red letters...

“Loose lips sink ships.”

You *do* realize then, how many maritime disasters that Maj. Hoolihan of the M*A*S*H 4077th is personally responsible for, then, don't you?

Cheers!
