Sure, we’d be happy to leave.....after unloading a few metric tons of ordinance......strategically, of course.

Just to lighten the load for the trip home.....

Iran doesn’t own the Gulf and Iran doesn’t choose with whom Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi, Oman, abu Dhabi etc choose to have alliances. Nor does Iran dictate how western shipping chooses to protect its commercial interests with those countries

That’s why we started calling it the ARABIAN Gulf for about the past 20 years

Ah the ‘80’s! The good ol’ days. When Qadaffi used to say he “owned” the Gulf of Sidra. I remember President Reagan sending ships for “Freedom of Navigation” exercises. They went pretty well. Libya lost numerous aircraft and a few boats. All we lost were a few missiles and bullets.

I would like to call on the United States Government to remove ALL Iranian students from our colleges and universities. And remove the UN from New York.

(imho) Ahmadinejad is simply another politician wanting to pick winners and losers, except this time, his view is more than simply about money.

Have come to the conclusion, zer0 knows exactly what he is doing. zer0 isn't busy building the U.S. (btw), instead zer0 is busy removing all possibilities for peace, and zer0's grand scheme is to destroy the U.S. and our allies. Think at this point, some of our allies are seeing the truth, and are rethinking strategy. It may be too little too late, though pray it is not.

Yes, by all means, pull up the drawbridge and let the World have at. Oh wait, once the tyrants and run out of wars and countries to dominate, if there's world left, I wonder who they will set their eyes on next? Hmmm...Figi? Ron Paul is an unrealistic isolationist.

That said, our war against al-Queda/Taliban has kept many of those Islamic fruitcakes from creating more atrocities and we've pretty much won it - for now. But those tribal barbarians will never change. It seems to be in their DNA. Iraq is questionable.

So let's pull out of Aftganiscrap and give them a very simple message. Commit one more barbaric act on Western civilization and you are bombed into the stone age you so relish. And yes, I'm talking every man, woman, and child who support said barbarism. Better their woman and children than ours.

I’m with you in the sense that I’d like to see us less overextended in useless, unwinnable, small-potatoes occupations and wars—while we simultaneously carry a bigger stick. If we have to do damage, we do damage—without needlessly sacrificing our men and women.

I agree, but boy is this an unpopular view here. Did you see it years ago when we wanted to stand toe to toe with the the Russians on their boarder over that nutjob in the Caucasus, completely forgetting that the Black Sea is the Russian's pond whenver they want it to be. Talk about strategic over-reach.

I just hope we can unwind committments we cannot afford before our collapsing economy and the world at large unwind them for us.

Have come to a conclusion concerning these wars and believe your conclusion is the only conclusion capable of winning ultimately and securing a form of peace. Also agree, there must be something in the DNA of all arabs which our side will never understand. The bottom line with arabs (imho) is does our nation want to be dominated by arabs or does our nation desire to dominate the arabs and secure peace? There will be attack after attack against the West until arabs are subdued (imho), and therefore I fully agree with you, this will ultimately lead to; Will our nation protect and defend our women and children, or will our nation protect and defend their (arab) women and children. History is about to be made no matter what the decision will be. To do nothing will result in arab domination, so another question; Does the West desire a quick death, a slow death, or does the West desire peace? Securing the peace is never easy, and knowing what form a peace will take is never known unless there is an ultimate winner in war. Then our planet normally comes back to do it all over again a few decades later. So another chapter of history begins.(imho)

I pray you will not consider this a personal attack, for it is not. I fully agree with your assessment.

Most of Afghanistan has never left the stone age in the first place.

Vet,
That is the plan I have been talking about for some time,,, with one difference. They do anything, anything,,, they have 24 hours to evacuate their cities, because 24 hours later, they will have no cities, no gas, no electric, no bridges, no airports, no military bases,,,, etc., etc..

Here, no foolin', is a photo from the UPI coverage of Iran Defense Week.

Yes. Iran now boasts a fearsome unit of Pyhllis Diller impersonators.
