No hurry to do dastardly things.
Everyone knows it’s Iran who did this.
That is not the question for any sane person.
The questions is, Now What?
My advice is wait.
The Saudis have a pretty good airforce.
Let them take care of it.
I hear that Saddam is trying to obtain yellowcake from Niger. I know because US government officials said so & the media reported it.

I hear Iran murdered hundreds (thousands?) of All American boys and girls in Iraq. Interestingly, the media rarely reported it.
Iran wouldnt have even been in Iraq if the retarded baboon in the White House hadnt authorized the invasion of the country and the toppling of the Baathist government there in 2003.
Is it your position that the US has no interest in ensuring the free flow of oil from the Gulf, which supplies 20+% of the world’s oil?
“Iran wouldnt have even been in Iraq if the retarded baboon in the White House hadnt authorized the invasion of the country and the toppling of the Baathist government there in 2003.”
True.
But what does that have to do with the now?
And what does that have to do with the hundreds of US Soldiers they have killed? Or, is it your contention that has nothing to do with now?
One of their self-activated cells will take out Manhattan one of these days.
Maybe then we can take off the gloves.
The U.S. may have an interest in it, but it sure as hell isnt a compelling one.
Calling the free flow of oil from the [Persian] Gulf a critical U.S. interest is ludicrous when we have Federal courts issuing rulings to stop the free flow of oil right here in the U.S.
“Calling the free flow of oil from the [Persian] Gulf a critical U.S. interest is ludicrous”
Sure it is.
Until gas is $6/gal in Houston, our allies are crushed and our exports are down 30%.
And Iran is in possession of that 20% supply, fueling their military ambitions.
[One of their self-activated cells will take out Manhattan one of these days.]
If they could you know they’d use civilian airliners to do so.
If Iran gets a functioning nuclear weapon, or should I say “when” - I still expect them to hit a port city somewhere in the lower 48. Or perhaps should I say, it would not surprise me.
But then, no crazy Muslims would ever fly hijacked airliners into commercial office space buildings, either. /shiny side out
My guess is, Supreme Leader is going to have a personal experience with a Hellfire.
It would be nice. Just like Sheikh Yassin and Rantissi, too.
See Post #163 in this thread:
In a nutshell ... ten years ago the recently-departed National Security Advisor of the United States was giving paid speeches to an exiled Iranian terrorist group that had militants operating in Iraq during the U.S. occupation.
See Post #225 in that same thread. He was just one of many in a bucket full of @ssholes from the D.C. Swamp who were doing the same thing. You can read all their names there in the link posted in #225.
The days of Albertas Child accepting the bullshit propaganda I read and hear from the U.S. government are long over.
War on Terror, my ass.
How about Canada? They have a dipshit prime minister named Justine Trudeau whose political party is blocking exports of Canadian oil to the global marketplace. When does the U.S. topple THAT regime? We arent even pushing them to free up that oil as a condition of a trade deal were negotiating with them NOW.
You should make sure to mention the Terrorist group you mention (MEK), and is referenced in the article kills only Iranians. But not average Iranian citizens, but those associated with the nuclear program and other state security operations.
And important distinction, no?
Invading Iraq and deposing Saddam was inevitable. Too much trouble caused for too long. Brutal dictatorships should not be allowed to stand indefinitely.
2. If they only kill Iranians, then what were they doing in Iraq?
The days of the U.S. pissing away thousands of lives fighting in someone elses civil wars should have ended after Korea. This should apply exponentially in Islamic dumps in the Middle East where tribal loyalties are more important than any outside ties.
Youd think intelligent FReepers would have figured this out after what the U.S. went through in Afghanistan after arming al-Qaedas predecessors during the Soviet invasion.
