Assad, never known for his diplomatic language, publicly predicted that the US would become bogged down in Iraq as it had in Vietnam,Oh, that's the first time I've heard that one../sarcasm
To: Rams82

How soon until we face the fact this is WWIII? It should be clear to all that we are actually at war against France, Germany, Russia, and China. After the collapse of the Berlin Wall and then the Soviet Union, the Axis of Weasels have been arming Iraq in order to wage war against us by proxy, while pretending to be friends and trade partners. Saddam has been their front man, nothing else. Once we get through with him, we should turn our full attention to them.

I will admit that this could very well be the opening stages of a world war. The Iraqi's are getting hold of some pretty late-model Russian hardware. Someone must answer for that.

I've been assuming that Syria is next on the list, unless North Korea insists on jumping the line.

Tell Assad Iraq is a war zone and any who enter there do so at their own risk.
Then get Special Forces into the rapidly growing safety zone in the North of Iraq where they can run interdiction on any caravans trying to get to Baghdad from Syria by calling in air strikes as was done in Afghanistan.

I think it's a toss-up between Iran and North Korea as to who's next after Iraq. Though al-Assad told the Arab League that he believes that he's next already, so he may figure it's better to move against the US on foreign rather than Syrian soil.
To: Rams82
Assad, never known for his diplomatic language, publicly predicted that the US would become bogged down in Iraq as it had in Vietnam, or would be forced to abandon the country as it had, in the 1980s, abandoned Lebanon, which is now under Syrian dominance. Amazing how many despotic dictators get their talking points directly from the American Left Media.

I think it's a toss-up between Iran and North Korea as to who's next after Iraq. The best thing about the Iraq operation is that it has allowed us to flank both Iran and Syria in one fell swoop. Saddam is a nice bonus.

Uh, four, actually. Three was the cold war. It looks like it wll boil down to us and the UK and Australia for a while and Israel against everyone else.
Good. The sooner we get going the better. If Americans wake up and realize it's a fight for survival our enemies will be crushed like bugs under a bulldozer. The only danger to us is if we do nothing.
To: Rams82
It is time we face the facts that all these terrorist are one and the same. Just changing the terror group's name doesn't change the mullah.

we are actually at war against France, Germany, Russia, and China. Right. A lot of undecideds at this point, plus no one is about to try to invade any of these countries. It's kind of a war, but not in its full glory, not yet. Germany could roll on Russia once more before this is over.

Personally, I hope Assad-hole and Sadaam-ite go down the drain of their Ba'ath tub.

"America wants to remodel the region to its own liking," Assad alleged.....implicitly stressing that his government will have no part in it. Most probably true.
To: RightWhale
Germany could roll on Russia once more before this is over.Yeah, I really don't think Germany is as big of an annoyance as the rest. For some reason, I still don't really consider Germany and enemy or feel real anger at them. Probably because Schroeder will be gone in a couple of years. I think hell will freeze over before Germany formally aligns itself with the Russians. But I could be wrong..you never know.

Germany could roll on Russia once more before this is over. I have no idea about that. What I do know, from living in Germany for 4 years, is that they are the biggest bunch of pacifists in the world.
