US Kills Iranian General

When this sort of thing happens at work, things get interesting.

 

Replace your heater hoses. NOW

 

Nah, it's not the American Ford Ranger. It's a Euro Ford Ranger, class of the field in light trucks of 2016 when I bought it.

 

Now that's funny. I can imagine a similar discussion about a truck in Iran!

 

Much bigger than Pence. More like Pence + the CIA director, CENTCOM commander, JSOC commander, and presidential envoy for Iraq.

 

Is Pence still VP?

Thought he might have gotten fired too.

 

I know right. Blows my mind that there are cars in the world.

 

They don't have American cars and Trucks in Iran. They do have them in Iraq, but not Iran. And on this day anyone seen in an American car or truck in Iran would be a target. In Iran they drive cars from Japan and France and Germany and Russia but no one wants to be seen in an American car. In Saudi Arabia there are lots of American cars.

 

That funeral is in Iraq. The government of Iraq just told the Americans to leave. American cars will become a thing of the past again.

 

The old ranger was made by Mazda and a great truck

 

I had a 1999 Ranger 4x4 and I put 243000 miles on it. I loved it.

 

What's really amazing is the variety. Seriously, how many versions of a style are really necessary? All of the sedans look like a used bar of soap. Trucks look like bricks. SUVs look like the face of a Cylon. Convertibles look good as sports cars. Convertibles as Mini Coopers, PT Cruisers and the like, not so much.

And it gets worse because each manufacturer makes different "levels" of each body style. Depending on the performance, appearance or creature comforts and subtle differences in trim (like the TRD stickers they use to sell Toyota trucks). Americans will buy anything new which is made painfully obvious by the AMC Gremlin or the Pontiac Aztek.

 

Not hard to believe, the US have been supporting all sorts of right wing and fascist elements and nationalist terrorists around the world for decades. F'r instance who armed and supported Osama Bin Laden in his terrorist activities against the Russian military in Afghanistan ??? Who paid for and destabilised the Chilean Government of President Allende in 1973 and then armed and paid vast amounts of Dollars to support General Pinochet, a fascist who murdered millions of his own countryment without so much as a peep of protest from the American Government because they wanted the Copper. Who armed and supported Saddam Hussein in the Iraqi war against Iran ???

In Iran itself, wasn't it the US military (in collaberation with the British) who destabilised and overthrew the original Shah of Iran and replaced him with an American puppet ???

 

I agree, which is why certain people will take it over as fact after reading enough times that it seems a fact.
But that it's not hard to believe and that its certain that they do are different things. Like I said: that there's a motive is not enough to claim certainty. If someone states it like it's obvious I think its good to ask how is that so. Shouldn't be hard to answer if its obvious.

So, it seems the motive is obvious and therefor the support easily assumed as fact.

 

Some thirty odd years hence, when they release 'official' papers the truth will out, but by then people like you and I and all others of a 'certain age' will be long dead and buried.

 

Until then and with what's known its safe to conclude IS' s presence in the region may have suited the US in one form or another, but its unlikely the US gave such direct support.

 

My father in law just retired his 2007 Ranger. 335,000 km, and he beat the shit out of it.

 

Hellz yeah.
