Iran declared war on the West not long after their Islamic takeover. To ignore this fact is ridiculously naive and self destructive. We’ve sat back and watched while Iran has strengthened itself and its ability to cause harm to the West. In fact, in many ways we’ve helped them. Worse, we continue to do this. This is not unlike tolerating an alligator in your house, and actually feeding it, until it gets big enough to eat you.

If this is true, good for England.

Now it is official

The Washington Post has reported it today.

They are saying that Iranian planes are unable to refuel in most European airports as “fuel contracts are canceled.”

Lord, please let this be true. A stand against evil is all that is necessary. We know, Lord, you have asked us to stand firm against evil. May this be the first step in a long line, of steps, against this evil in Iran.

I agree with you...this has all been real stupid.

Now, a little perspective...Iran has the same GDP as the state of Alabama but, with five times more people.
The only state to have more soldiers serve in Iraq than Alabama was Texas.

I say, send the Alabama national guard over and whip their ass.

If you want to get it done in two weeks, send Texas.

“Obama will say, “London acted stupidly”.

Don’t think so, it’s the sanctions -

‘US agreement with European oil firms impacting Iran Air’

Did I read the report (article) wrong? The information, from the article, I thought left 0 and his administration out of the loop.

Oh, and what was this thing about the 422nd rescuing members of the Texas National Guard during WWII? You remember: the 442nd lost a lot of guys rescuing them. The the Texas guys were put back on the line, and the 442nd was ordered to chase the Germans despite their losses.

Seems as if we need to send the 442nd if we want it done it two weeks.

...unconfirmed internet sources...

We call that "Rumint (rumor intelligence)" in the war zones.

Until I hear this from a reliable source, I'll take it with a very large grain of salt.
