Attack on Iran Said To Be Imminent

Submitted by Ian Watson, Sep 29, 2007 14:35

Say goodbye to your dollar, say goodbye to cheap or even any fuel as Iran and Venezuela turn off the taps to the west so you might as well get used to not using your gas guzzlers any time soon as Saudi Arabia collapses under the demand... You are threatening a country that has not lifted a hand against you, has not threatened you, has done little except defy you and hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, innocent people, little children, babies are going to die because of you. It did not call for the Israeli's to be destroyed, it stated that there should be regime change in Israel, a vast difference in meaning. And what of the retalliation? The missiles that will land in Iraq? Kuwait? The uprising in Iraq against the US that will be bloody and complete? How long will the pro-US governments last in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Jordan? This will unite every single Muslim and Arab regardless of sect against the common enemy... You! Heh, anyone who knows anything, knows that the Patriot missile is fraught with failures, it fared poorly against the old Scud, so many people bought a pig in a poke there and rely on it to protect them... And so Iran retalliates, it escalates, Bush launches a full blown strike of nuclear strategic weapons against Iran alongside Israel, Russian people start to die because of the radiation, Turkish and Europeans also contaminated, the US is isolated as a pariah state as nations people rise en masse against any pro US government. Can America also go toe to toe with China, Russia? A Russia that has moved from fairly relaxed nation to a nation on a war footing with military technology far superior to America's... A Russia that has just finished deploying its nuclear arsenal, has resumed long range nuclear bomber patrols... Iran despite the claims to the contrary has bleeding edge Russian hardware, the CIA claim they have zero intelligence so their tasking forces are going in blind, they are going up against digitally enhanced s300 air defence systems, the navy will be going up against SunBurn missiles, Iran has quietly developed a brand new next gen fighter/bomber and has proven many times it has the power to disrupt NATO radio nets in the region. So you "patriots" are calling for your countrymen to walk blindly into the lions den, you are asking them to be sacrificed to get the war you want but when your country goes down the toilet, who then are you going to blame?
