Yardeni is no war expert but he's a top financial guy, I've followed him for 40 years. He obviously has good connections for sources.

President of Yardeni Research, Edward Yardeni, thinks that the Iran war will likely be a short one, and shares his opinion on how the conflict may impact global markets.

Me: Muslims always surprise the West because Muslims never "cut their losses", being martyred is victory for them and Americans don't get that. You have to kill all the extremists to get anywhere against Muslims. If they exist, they fight.

And yet we continue to import Muslims into our own society. To prove how nice we are, or something....

“kill all the extremists”

Until they act out (and then it’s too late) how do you know they’re extremists?

One of their despicable tactics is to fade back in with the non-extremists.

The same scenario existed in Vietnam with the Vietnam congress.

When nobody wears a uniform yu don’t know who is who.

MSN webpage claims stocks down, oil stocks up ... naturally, the opposite is true: DJIA is down only a smidge right now and oil stocks BELOW pre-war prices right now ...

Happens a lot. They put up what’s happening and it immediately changes.

Muslim Cry..."Kill all the Christians and Jews".

Muslims do not discriminate...if you're not a Muslim...they want you dead.

Gee I wonder if there has ever been a historical precedent for such actions for a tribe of people so broken there was no other choice.

1 Samuel 15:3 Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.

Yeah, that is a huge problem with them, agreed. Israel is a big help there.

Define losing. So far the Iranian regime continues to exist and has control of its enriched uranium. The mullahs are the frontmen. The people who conrol the regime are the tens of thousands that control the oil industry and its revenues, the banks, the bazaars, the food, the military and the goons. They will not resign or give up power voluntarily. It will take boots on the ground to uproot these people and transform Iran. It wont be easy and it will be costly in every way.

Not promoting anything here, but it seemed God didn’t have a problem with genocide, at least in this instance.

And if you’re not the “right” kind of Muslim, they want you dead.

Agreed. Define losing. Wars no longer are conventional. Did the US and Israel pummel Iran’s army, navy and other military targets into rubble? Yes. Did the US and Israel kill a number of high-ranking leaders? Yes. If we stop the war, could a new crop of mullahs led by a new ayatollah be launching waves of $30,000 drones at Israel and Iran’s Gulf neighbors six months from now? Yes.

“Muslims do not discriminate...if you’re not a Muslim...they want you dead.”

Not entirely true. If you happen to be the WRONG KIND of Muslim, you are in far greater danger from other Muslims than any countervailing effort on the part of non-Muslim practitioners of faith.

Death cult, almost to the maximum. Oddly, not all Muslims subscribe to the “Death to infidels!” fatwa, but then, they are also heavily under attack from the Islamic Jihadists.

One struggles to understand the psychology behind all this. Poor self-esteem, maybe?

By the way, we were told that the USA’s weapons would only last a week if we got into a war.

We are about to “FO” about that.

Until there’s a government recognized by the people that doesn’t call America the great Satan they haven’t lost.

We laughed when Bush senior got the unconditional surrender from soddom(wink) hussein....only to find him still there and tunning the place after the dust settled.

Who’s running Venezuela?

Regime change is preferred but not the goal. If they get bombed into the stone age with no way to wage war other than throwing stones our goals have been achieved. Your stated objective is not a requirement.

That maybe your criteria for success but it is not necessary the criteria for most people, let alone this military engagement.
