US ready to strike Iran by spring

The Sunni insurgency has been much more deadly to American troops, why no condemnation of Saudi Arabia?

For the same reason that all US forces were precipitously withdrawn from ther, and for the same reason that 9-11 leads were never pursued into the Kingdom. The House of Sa'ud is only being kept from falling in with constant whitewash. Now that the Shi'a-majority Eastern Province (containing the major oilfields and terminals) is being politically agitated from the north, things are sheikhier than ever before.

If the devices are made in Iran, why are the dates stamped in English?

So that the US can understand them (!)

 

Samcdkey, I guess english is the universal language of military hardware...


I haven't heard much mention of this:

In 2003, U.S. Spurned Iran's Offer of Dialogue

 

Is it? Seems weird to me. From what I know of Iran, not many people there can understand English. What would be the purpose of having dates in a language not understood by the local people (whether in Iran or people elsewhere in the ME)?

Thats not the only overture from Iran. They are still asking to talk.

 

Iran has always been willing to talk, but the US refuse to talk unless Iran suspends its nuclear activities first.

 

I thought english uses arabic numerals.

 

Iranian is slightly different from Arabic.

Anyway, I find the whole premise very silly.

The Shia of Iran are supporting the Shia of Iraq!!!!!!!!

Duh! only since the last 1400 years.

 

Al Quida blew up a shiite shrine. Are we actually going to fight a country that is fighting Al Quida?

 

Hmm why not? After all the US is fighting Shias in Iran and Lebanon and supporting their supporters in Iraq. Not to mention fighting Sunni insurgents in Iraq, supported by their allies, the Saudis.

 

So Sam, the fact that is says 81MM and HE is OK but the date makes it suspicious? Your lack of Military knowledge is apparent as usual.

What do you have to say about the 100+ Austrian sniper rifles found in Iraq that were sold to the Iranian government last year? Is Austria supporting the insurgents?

 

"100+ Austrian sniper rifles found in Iraq that were sold to the Iranian government last year?"

You mean Steyr HS50s found in Iraq? I know of the hubub over the sale of 800 to Iran, but nothing about them turning up in Iraq. What are your source(s) for that claim, crazy151drinker?

 

Here you go

Musta fell off a truck.

 

Not so hasty-

1. The Daily Telegraph is a Murdoch tabloid.
2. The article cites no sources whatsoever (typical of the Tele's wilder stories).
3. The US Govt hasn't touched it.

Let's see a credible source for this allegation, and then consider it.

 

What about the million tons of conventional explosives we failed to secure during the Iraq invasion?

 

I'm betting the insurgents have a lot more weapons from the US and Saudi Arabia.

What do you think?
