War on Iran - When?

Well hey, at least it sounds like it'd be more of a conventional war, something the US military is actually good at.

 

not this year. simply not the support... the republican (and labour) administrations both need something to happen to try and stir public opinion, either that or wait a long ass time/

 

I'm digging in now. Iran to Bush is like a red rag to a bull.
The new Iranian leader is doing everything he possibly can to get America & the allies to invade his country.
Also has it not occured to everyone that if America occupies Iran;a whole swaythe of land: Iraq-Iran-Afghanistan is connected & unified under the American / $ flag.
Makes driving jeeps more easier.No time wasting boarder controls.
I think President Bush will play out the whole U.N. bureaucracy thing because it makes him look very studious.....meanwhile Cheyney gets the war machine oiled up.Blair will play honest broker,routine;but he'll come running the moment Bush hollers.
Bush's gotta hurry up.In 2008 Hillary Clinton will be in & it's rumoured she doesn't like playing: "men's games with men".

 

Skip, did you by any chance hear this news from The Telegraph??? Because The Telegraph seems to think they are seriously thinking about attacking Iran.

It's -insane!- They are quoting whitehall and MOD people with "some quarters of whitehall" talking about "inevitable". Let us hope, very sincerely, that this is press hyperbole. Crap paper. Mysterious sources. But clearly "some quarters" of Whitehall are insane.

I don't think the British or the US government is about to start a war in any foreseeable future in my opinion. It would be suicide. Step one is an oil embargo that will obliterate the world economy. Iran is a big exporter and there is no margin of error in oil atm. Then Iran is this huge country with a giant army; they could infiltrate forces into Southern Iraq and get into a land war with US/UK forces there.

These sources pisses me off.

But read for yourselves:

Actually I was thinking a bit, and yeah it may be happening sooner.. Like, perhaps they look at it like this.. It would be an actual war.. Real targets and an enemy army.. There would be an actual observable level of progress... OR lack of progress.. But either way it would be much more clear.. Might be ble to unite the idiots behind them against an actual enemy state that's not just a bunch of guerillas.. And perhaps even boost morale from succesfully completing definable battles and such.. And not to mention, it's one thing to pull troops from a shithole situation like Iraq.. IT's entirely another to run away admitting defeat from a solid enemy.. So whether or not people think it's justified once we're actually in there they might go along for those type of reasons. I really don't think it's a good idea though.

 

It's not going to happen.

 

But if they cut off the oil, erealistically we would have no choice but to attack. We're still the instigaters, but that wouldn't convince the US not to continue a war against them.. I don't think so anyway. Like you said, there is no margin of error with oil currently.. And as far as their army.. They may have a large army, but doubtful it's as large as the US's and it really wouldn't make sense to divert some to a place where the shits already plenty stirred up while we attack them on their own soil.

 

The title of this thread needs to be corrected. It says, "War on Iraq" when it should say, "Iran". Is the US going to attack Iran? Of course it is. It's just another part of Bush's plan to take over the whole friggin' world-and Tony Blair doesn't mind getting his little slice of the pie, too.

 

It's gonna happen. The reptilians want complete control of the Middle East. They don't spend so much time on a campaign to demonize them, make up a bunch of lies, and generally put in some effort, for the hell of it. Iran will be the next Iraq within a year or so if no one does anything.

 

Close.... what will probably happen is that the civil war that'll overtake iraq will spread over the border into Iran.

Which is prolly wot bush is hoping.......that way he can invade iran under the "dealing with insurgents" definition.

 

When the Weapons of mass destruction move from Syria to Iran like from Iraq to Syria.

 

Who ever takes over after Bush has a GIGANTIC MESS to clean up.

And his term isn't even over!

 

Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern (the man who recently grilled Rumsfeld on live TV) says that he believes we will invade Iran either in June or July.

 

from a business point of view america will probably leave when the oil runs out. to have spent so much money on iraq to deliver freedom is unlikely, taking control of the oil will pay for the bill and more. by encouraging civil strife, killing and maiming the civil populace pretty soon there is no local populace to lay claim to their homeland. if you can wipe the populace from the face of the planet the oil is now yours, america has experience of genocidal programs in its formative years, iraq is more like business as usual. my prediction is that the iraqis of the main cities will be relocated "reserves" to the deserts (in makeshift camps). from a security perspective this is excellent, by slowly driving the people from their homes and out into the wastelands you reduce attacks on the army etc.. anyway i'll continue this thought some other time or maybe you can elaborate on it??
