War with Iran Soon?

[Beowulf]

Hmmmm. The beloved news media has been utterly silent about this, but all the pieces are in place for an attack on Iran. If we attack them, what do you think would happen? Are you willing to die for Israel?
Of course I could be wrong, but I do not laugh this time.

 

[jillio]

I'm not laughing, either. But I am hoping that my fears will prove to be unfounded.

 

[deafskeptic]

I just hope all these wars will not sap our military forces. It has happened in the past.

True. However, I am concerned our constant warfare will sap our spirit and stop people from questioning their necessity.

 

[Banjo]

Care to elaborate on the situation?

Is this in relation to the sanctions they are imposing upon Iran?

 

[jillio]

True. However, I am concerned our constant warfare will sap our spirit and stop people from questioning their necessity.

Exactly. Such overexposure creates an atmosphere of ambivilence and dehumanization. We need to stay more tuned in and critical in thought when it comes to this.

Notice how many people have responded to this thread? It would appear that there isn't even interest in a thread about war on AD.

You raise an excellent point there.

Oh boy. Can't you just google? (Lol, just kidding.)

A lot of people might hoot that my first submission from Debka is a biased site, but I notice that they have been spot on in recent weeks...

How about Newsweek? Of course they deny it has anything to do with Iran...

Haha, just had to ask. I did google a bit. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a nutjob and he is constantly bashing Israel. He doesn't believe the Holocaust ever took place. I know he has it in for Israel.

He got in hot water for uranium enrichment a few years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if it was for developing a whole bunch of nuclear warfare instead of for "peaceful" reasons... like providing power to the houses and such.

Remember the speech he gave to the students at the University of Columbia?

He sure had the balls to come to the USA after what he did.

Yeah, he might be a bad dude, but believe me, there are others even worse waiting in the wings. There was never any proof he is developing nuclear weapons, by the way.
Anyway, don't forget its allies, China and Russia. It could go nuclear.
Extremely calm heads need to prevail. It is IMPERATIVE.
NOT saber-rattling.

I don't get all worked up worrying about these problems. It's just a waste of time.

There's always someone who is worse waiting by.

I won't get worked up over it, either, Banjo. I just felt it important to make this thread, and since I have done so, I will forget it for the time being.
Have a nice day, dude!

Oh, I think it's a real concern. Although I can't get in my rowboat and go over to Iran to launch a pre-emptive attack upon them.

So I'll let the governments take care of the problem!

The peices have been put in place for years. The United States Armed Forces are recruiting soldiers who speak Farsi.

Another war will to put this country in huge debt , and it cause cut backs every where. I hope we will not go to war with Iran , we have lost too many many men and women already and so has other countries. We will be getting bombed in in USA and any countries that help us will get bombed too.
Man this can't happen! This it does, it been nice knowing you guys!

 

[saywhatkid]

We need to wait until the Conservatives are back in power before we go to war.

 

[Foxrac]

I doubt that war with Iran will be happen because it will be very bad and big mess.

Forget the debt. Like you said I'd be more worried about the US being attacked first. The armed forces would be stretched thin if it happened. Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Korea??? They keep sending troops all over the place whats gonna be left to be HERE if needed? Ever see Red Dawn? When was the last time besides 9-11 and terrorist bombings was there was a full scale attack on US soil? Pearl Harbor? If if keeps going theyll have to use the selective service eventually.

If what DEBKA says is true, two carrier task forces are sufficient to take on the Iranian forces. However, a direct amphibious assault on Iran's narrow coastline would be disastrous because of the numerous Iranian troops, weapons, mines, etc., that would be concentrated in that area. Marine assault could be done only by air delivery (helicopters) from near-by Iraq and Afghanistan. That would be detected and probably the Iranians would shoot down the helicopters. There would be no element of surprise. It looks to me like another show-of-force exercise. The Navy has been doing them extensively since the 1960's.

How about Newsweek? Of course they deny it has anything to do with Iran...

That seems to be a regular exercise. Israel can manage their own coast without our help.

This is from the Navy. A helluva big thing going on now.

That's a Navy fact sheet showing our current strength. There's nothing implied there.

England?

Another joint exercise led by the British. Nothing unusual there.

If there is more going on, it's not evident from those links. We always deploy more in areas of tension than other places.

If something was in the works, all the services, not just the Navy and Marines, would be involved in positioning and preparing for battle. An attack on Iran would require a lot of air power beyond what the carriers would provide. The Air Force would make their strikes from surrounding land bases.
