Comments on: Navy Flexes Its Muscles In Persian Gulf

U.S. Forces Stage Military Maneuvers; Denies Reports Iran Fired Missile At A U.S. Ship In Persian Gulf

[epiker-2009]

True, when they fight US forces, the enemy soldiers are nothing but "sacrifical lambs" and also target practice. Did you head about the 'turkey shoot' in Iraq where the US soldiers killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi soldiers with barely any losses on the US side?

Even now the kill ratio is so ridiculously high its pure suicide to fight the US/West. Look at how the taliban are mowed down in vast numbers, as well as the insurgents in Iraq and we lose a few soldiers here and there. Sadly for the enemies of America/West, they're simply too weak to mount any meaningful offensive. I have some faith in Iran, they talk tough perhaps they can give the US a challenge-but then so did Saddam and look what happened to him. LOL

Yes, let's do that. When that task is done then we can wipe out the Jews, then the Bhuddists, etc. When we are done with 'religious cleansing' then we can start the 'ethnic cleansing.' When there's nothing left but white christians, we can 'clean out' the catholics, then the mormons, etc. until there's nothing left but Southern Baptists. Only then will there be peace...

ROFLMMFAO!!!

If we are going to use our military as sacrificial lambs then we shouldn't allow them to have wives and, especially, children. Hence, there would be much less suffering when so many of them are killed, needlessly or otherwise.

You're right, Iran's totalitarian regime is headed for destruction. Luckily we live in a democracy that elected a leader who does not submit to Islamofascists and terrorist thugs. Let's hope we wipe all those ************ off the face of the earth.

The Sorrows of Young Dumus, Art. XLI:
The complacent enjoyment of power can never be the final destination of a totalitarian regime. The totalitarian leader had made dramatic promises: to unify and purify his community; to save it from the flabbiness and confusion of democratic politics and the contamination of alien peoples and cultures; to rescue the community from decadence and decline.
In order to fulfill these promises, totalitarian regimes must present the impression of driving momentum and cannot survive without a headlong, intoxicating rush forward. Without a mounting spiral of ever more daring challenges, totalitarian regimes devolve into decaying authoritarianisms. With it, they drive inexorably toward a final paroxysm of self-destruction.
Thus it was that when the populace contemplated each disaster of misrule, Dumus would distract them with some fresh and ever more hideous outrage. The grinding failure of the occupation of Mesopotamia LED INEVITABLY TO THE PERSIAN WAR AND ABROGATION OF THE CONSTITUTION (A.J. 6722, 14 Gorpiaios); thence to the annihilation of Khourosan (A.J. 6723, Dystros); then to the massacre of Sind (A.J. 6723, Dios) and the attack upon Irkutsk (A.J. 6725, 25 Apellaios); until, finally, the titanic struggle of Gaugamela (A.J. 6728, 16-23 Artemisios) terminated, almost at one blow, the usurpations of Dumus and the tragic career of the Hegemon.

Everyone knows Iran is building nuclear weapons and their continued belligerence and defiance of the int'l community and IAEA, has put them in this situation with a western naval armada at their doorstep. Everyone also knows Iran and Al Qaeda have been stoking the flames of sectarian violence in Iraq to destabilize it and to force the US to leave so they can take over.

Now Iran has committed an act of war by seizing British soldiers at gunpoint. The Brits aren't about to back down on this incident. Iran is provoking an attack and will start a war with the West that they can never win. The Islamic regime's days are numbered.

As for the Sunburn missiles, the 5th fleet has various anti-missile defence systems and obviously they would've known about the threat and how to counter it before they entered the Gulf. And this will not be a ground war-it was consist of airstrikes on nuclear plants coordinated with the IDF (Israeli defense force). Go USA, UK and Israel!

And you would go to war over that? You wouldn't at least try negotiations to get them back? You don't think Reagan, if he were alive, could get them back? If Reagan could get them back without going to war, why can't Shrub get them back without going to war?

Actually, they are Brits. Why can't Blair get them back without going to war?

Your chauvinist thinking doesn't make a bit of sense to me. You would rather get a few more thousand Americans killed than try negotiations.

Go figure, you phuckking morons...

[torocaca]

All you Lt. Chauvins who support your Napoleon should be over there doing your duty and blindly following your incompetent commander-in-chief to his defeat.

ROFLMMFAO!!!

---------------------------------

And you do have an idea what's going on over there? Even if you've been there, fighting there, following the orders of your 'commander-in-chief,' bravo for you. However, it doesn't mean that you understand the whole picture. It only means you can follow orders, good or bad.

Actually, I feel sorry for you. You are so phuckking narrow minded that you are unable to discuss and debate. It's either your way or the phuckking highway. You're just another jingoist; a chauvinist who would blindly follow your Napoleon to shame and defeat. LOL!

The fact that you "declare" yourself a "military professional" while putting everyone else down only means that you are self-centered, arogant, and pretty much just another assshole.

Besides, I've done my time...served in every 'incident' from the Cuba crisis to the first Gulf war. ...doesn't mean I want more war.

[bboc77]

Perfect timing! cover up for Gonzales, and end the whole world. Thanks alot Mr. President! You selfish b astard!

"cite a range of missteps and inappropriate conduct"

"the Marines, after being ambushed, responded in a way that created "perceptions [that] have really damaged the relationship between the local population and this unit"

Just two quotes from stories of our military under pressure, in the 'fog of war'...
What's to say something won't happen off the coast of Iran today...

[B_Safe]

You lefty moonbats seem to forget that Iran illegally siezed 15 British soldiers doing counter-smuggling duty in Iraqi waters. They will richly deserve any butt-kicking delivered by the Brits and the U.S. Navy if they don't send them back soon. We are there to back up our allies, unlike the sniveling europeans when ask to enforce the UN action against Iraq.

ALLYOUDEMS YOU SUMMED IT UP....
TOO BAD THERE ARE SO MANY IGNORANT PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW HOW THE MILLITARY WORKS..

[allyoudems]

All of you! Listen to your complaining, all you bleeding hearts complain.You have no idea what is going on over in IRAQ.

Anything our President does you bad mouth him.

I feel sorry for you all! Suggestion, pick up a weapon and stand post while you are under attack from all sides and then I will have respect for your view.

Wow I didn't know that Bush and the Iranians were conspiring to distract from the Gaonzales thing. Wow who would have ever thaught that. With liberals saying stupid things like that is it any wonder alot of people have doubts about global warming?

[jjreding-2009]

Well, here we go again. Bush and his cronies are once again doing their best to deflect the growing storm in the Alberto Gonzalez/fired US attorney scandal by trying to get the news to report on something else. When will this end? This maniac just won't quit.

[observantx]

More sabre rattlin' from the cowboy in chief and his UncleDickey.

The Iranians know it's just swagger and chest thumping. This is standard procedure. And it's just as foolish and counterproductive.

Let's just hope everybody keeps their itchy fingers off the trigger.

Unfortunately the voters have little say after the madman is elected. It takes an impeachment by the House and a 2/3rds vote in the Senate to convict. Considering they don't even have the ballls to impeach, I don't see the probability of conviction any time soon.

Also, unfortunately, we don't have the biggest military in history. We have about 1.45 million active and 2.7 million reserve military personnel now compared to almost 20 million during WWII. About a third of the military personnel are in the Army, but not all of those are combat troops.

We had a half million military personnel in the Korean War and barely hung in there for a draw.

So, it's easy to see why the military is spread so thin. It's very unlikely that we could successfully sustain a ground war in yet another country, even with a draft.

"Patrick Walsh said he had assured Arab allies that Washington was trying to avoid "a mistake that boils over into war" with Iran."


We might have already made that mistake,
it is called the WAR IN IRAQ.
