SgtRDS,

Good to see your comments.

curse914,

Thanks for the response about bio-fuels.

There is no Iranian or Iraqi soldier who could beat an American soldier in a fair fight. That''''s why they plant roadside bombs. Planting roadside bombs is not the sign of an "elite" fighting force.

No, it''s the sign of a guerrilla fighter. We used many of the same tactics in winning our freedom by going against what was considered to be the "honorable" warfare of the day and besides, guerrilla tactics work more often then not. One man''s terrorist is another man''s freedom fighter and when it comes to Iraq they have far far more justification for acting like freedom fighters then we do for acting like what we are, an invading, occupying army.

So it''''s not the first time, heh? But the U.S. made it up. Well, I say next time the do it, I''''d fire a warning blast and then blow the bastardos up and they deny it too.

This is the Middle-East, Bush version of the Gulf of Tonkin.........anything to start another war......

The neocons under Cheney are desperate to find any reason whatsoever to launch a war with Iran. The biggest goal of all REAL Americans has to be to stop them from achieving their goal, at ALL costs.

downtowner97,

Re: "There is no Iranian or Iraqi soldier who could beat an American soldier in a fair fight."

By "fair fight", do you mean like a fight where a U.S. soldier drops 40,000lbs of bombs, from the safety of an airplane, and the civilians and "soldiers" try to get out of the way?

downtowner97: Calm down. The term "elite" was used in the relative sense, as in elite compared to their regular army. By the way, wars are fought to be won with whatever means possible, and were never meant to be fair. That''s why nations keep developing more and more lethal weapons. Of course an American soldier will likely win a fight against an Iranian, due to his superior training and weaponry. Just don''t call it fair.

When we send our money to the Middle East for gas, it''s gone forever. Those people do NOT buy American products. We print more and more money every day, and they put it in big buildings and store it. If they ever pull that money out of those buildings and spend it, the money you and I make at our jobs will be worthless.

There is a solution. Vist fieldsoffuel.com The film will be showing at Sundance next week, and in theaters everywhere later this year.

New rule: The media and government are no longer allowed to use the word "elite" to describe ANY soldier from any Middle Eastern country. Acceptable words are "pesky", "dangerously insane", "delusional", "suicidal", or "misguided", but never "elite" I don''t think these "elite" guys even wipe after taking a squat in the desert.

I repeat, there are no "Elite Iranian Revolutionary Guards". The "Elite Republican Guards" in Iraq surrendered to unarmed news reporters in the first days of BOTH wars we fought with Iraq, and Iran wasn''t able to beat them in 9 years of intense fighting.

There is no Iranian or Iraqi soldier who could beat an American soldier in a fair fight. That''s why they plant roadside bombs. Planting roadside bombs is not the sign of an "elite" fighting force.

From the Navy Times on recent overblown Iran incident:
"The threatening radio transmission heard at the end of a video showing harassing maneuvers by Iranian patrol boats in the Strait of Hormuz may have come from a locally famous heckler known among ship drivers as the %u201CFilipino Monkey.%u201D"

Correction:

Should be:

"...since we now know that the alleged "threat" THAT was PRESENTED in the audio-only portion of the Navy''s recent account...is a shabby hoax..."
