To Prinzowhales: "It was the Regime that shot down an Iranian passenger plane, murdering all aboard." This incident has been examined in detail and you only insist that it was murder because you are biased against the US. There is not only no evidence for it being intentional there is NO rationale.

"It has been the trillion dollars in aid to the Zionist state that has allowed it to grow and attack its neighbors and hold the inhabitants of the land in an apartheid existence while flouting the UN." The use of "Zionist state" instead of Israel reveals your viewpoint clearly, but you go on to drive it home. Israel only attacks as defensive measures. You cannot name an exception without relying on grossly misleading interpretations of fact. The "apartheid existence" is largely a result of decades-long policies of neighboring Arab states, the need to protect themsleves from suicidal terrorists, etc. Note that the sizeable Arab population of Israel shares all the benefits of full citizenship, are loyal citizens, and are the only Arabs outside of Iraqi Kurdistan to ever live in democracy.

To MCVet: "Are you able to wrap your mind around the FACT that Iraq had NO Weapons and was NO threat to this nation when the MORON a few of you still call a President attacked Iraq?" FACT - The entire world - Russia, Germany, France, UK, etc. were in general agreement in regards to Iraq & WMD. The Germans were adamant that the nuclear danger was far greater than even we suspected. (As stated in multilateral talks at the UN and reported by eyewitness Kenneth Pollack among others) And the Germans, French, and Russians were in a position to know as they were supplying the WMD technology. The dishonesty was on Saddam''s part. He WANTED everyone to think that he had WMD even as he denied it because he needed the deterrent against internal and regional foes.

"...YOU freaks just keep puking up the same garbage you have been doing now for over 4 years." Please point out where I have said anything of the sort, moron.

MCVET: Better get used to us being there. We are going to build permanent bases in Iraq. We have already signed the leases for this purpose. And neither party, no matter how they posture, is going to pull us out. And as far as Iran goes, when a politician tells you nothing is wrong, something is wrong. We''ll be in Iran, no doubt in my mind.

You know the releases coming out of Wash. D.C. it is hard to keep up. It is no wonder we hear this one day and it is found to be not true so they twist it again and again. The Kurds were the only good story out of Iraq and from What I see it had a booming economy and there elected officials and were doing all this building you would not even think it was Iraq so maybe since we brag on this so much Iran is saying I will upset this area I think it is a political mess and I do not trust Maliki or Bush so there you go why shouldn''t we be confused and upset The Kurds, The persians, the Sunni arabs, the Sheites, Is there no wonder everyone wants to rule the other and never the twain will meet if we stay there 100 years c''mon

Vote Mike Panter and Jennifer Beck out of office in the 12th district in NJ. They are both anti 2nd amendment commie pincko ***.

[elichez1]

Why can''t a suicide *** kisser crawl up these politician''s azzes and detonate himself. Could not be worse than any of the other shi''t that''s sprread around.

[pastdue1]

The Kurdish economy and success as a province is not attributable to this war; it became a success after the Gulf War when it was protected by US Air Force. Now, the bush administration with its bumbling is threatening to undo this success ~ the only one in Iraq. Further, while we continually claim Iran is a major contributor to the unrest in Iraq by supplying arms, we should be continually investigating the no-
bid contracts let by the Pentagon that have resulted in smuggling of arms to the insurgents.

[prinzowhales]

Iran has lived peacefully with its neighbors since the Islamic Revolution and only defended itself from the US-instigated and backed attack by Saddam Hussein.

If anyone''s behaviour has been terroristic and war-mongering it has been that of the Washington Regime. It was the Regime that shot down an Iranian passenger plane, murdering all aboard. It has been the trillion dollars in aid to the Zionist state that has allowed it to grow and attack its neighbors and hold the inhabitants of the land in an apartheid existence while flouting the UN.

To skyk: Iranians are not Arabs. Such a fundamental mistake destroys the credibility of the rest of your post - as if it would have any regardless.

To: fuziwuzi: Please post a link to any reputable and verifiable source that, 1) Cheney admitted to "ordering" Isreal to do anything, 2) It is sad when gullible conspiracy theorists actually say things like, "Ahmadinejad comes across as far more believable than our own President".

To hungry1968: Are you unable to wrap your mind around the fact that there are multiple bad actors in the theater?

Are you able to wrap your mind around the FACT that Iraq had NO Weapons and was NO threat to this nation when the MORON a few of you still call a President attacked Iraq? What leader in their RIGHT mind starts a War that doesn''t have to be when the man who planned and carried out the attack against you is still free? It''s the most insane thing I''ve ever heard, yet you losers keep defending him. This is the most Incompetent Leader this nation has ever had hands down and YOU freaks just keep puking up the same garbage you have been doing now for over 4 years. If we''d have listened to you clowns Bush would still be saying we were winning in Iraq and the insurgency is on it''s last legs. Sieg Heil Bush!!

I''''d let them close them all down. Then anything crossing the border would be easy to spot and bombed into extinction. Why would anybody think this isn''''t good? Iran''''s main inports into Iraq are roadside bombs, terrorist trainers, and Shiite militia.

I think if you read the article it''s the CITIZENS of Iraq who think this is a bad idea! It could bring to a halt about the ONLY success we''ve had in that Nation. Since our goal is to get somekind of peace in Iraq, I think that''s Sir Lies-A-Lot''s last image of "victory" in Iraq, I''d say that''s a pretty big deal.

To far_point200: I don''t understand your point. Russia is Iran''s source of nuclear technology, building their reactor even. Russia defends Iran''s nuclear program, keeps the UNSC from acting against it, etc. Are you suggesting that Russia is going to bomb their own technicians before they receive full payment for equipment and services rendered?

To ZykraCosmos: "Cheney, ...got greedy after being CEO of Halliburton, and evidently thought this venture was worth the risk for the sake of grabbing cheap oil." - conspiracy theorist hogwash. No evidence, but the CT mindset doesn''t require any.

"All these other lines you guys are quoting were always for the media to pass on to the US citizens footing the bill." More CT hogwash. Only in the CT world is the US media a propaganda tool completely controlled by the gov''t, and only in the CT world can the gov''t tell any lie whatsoever and get a way with it.

"EVERYbody knows this." Least convincing argument ever.

"Greenspan even recently bluntly stated the same (while even justifying the strategy of securing the oil for American interests)." The relevant passage from the Greenspan book has been utterly distorted beyond recognition until it has no resemblance to its original meaning. This is a fantastic counter-example to your belief that the media is either in bed w/ the gov''t, unwilling to disagree w/ the gov''t, or hoodwinked by the gov''t. In this case, the media bias has led them to purposely mislead (initially) and then blindly repeat (because it suits their bias and they are lazy) misinformation who''s target is the gov''t.

ANSWER: Bunker Busters & New Russian Super Bombs

QUESTION: What will change current Iranian political behavior regarding nuclear development & terrorist sponsorship?

[zykracosmos]

kynoto...hungry1968...
Bush/Cheney created anarchy in Iraq as soon as they deposed the dictator and his army and left three distinct ethnic groups to battle for influence. EVERYbody who knew anything about Iraq, its culture, and its history knew this was coming. Cheney, who even acknowledged this scenario back when he was with Bush I, defending the pullout after the first Gulf War, got greedy after being CEO of Halliburton, and evidently thought this venture was worth the risk for the sake of grabbing cheap oil. All these other lines you guys are quoting were always for the media to pass on to the US citizens footing the bill. EVERYbody knows this. Greenspan even recently bluntly stated the same (while even justifying the strategy of securing the oil for American interests). My question to you, kynoto, is: given the absolute chaos now in existance in Iraq, why should I and other taxpayers shuck out another $198 BILLION this year for Bush & Cheney''s gamble gone wrong?

[kynoto1]

To hungry1968: You''ve switched horses in mid-stream. You''re argument before was, "we were fighting Saddam Hussein and his supporters, then it turned into insurgents, then we were caught in the middle of a civil war with the Shiite''''s and Sunni''''s, but the administration hates the term civil war so that changed into al Qaeda."%u2026"What happened to the baathists insurgents and "sectarian violence" trouble makers? They just disappeared? And NOW the violence created by al Qaeda seems to be going away - replaced by "Iranian-backed Shiite militias"%u2026"Does anyone REALLY know who...we''''re actually fighting?"

Apparently, since you''ve abandoned that line of "thinking", you are now agreeing with my assesment of it''s ignorance.

Are you unable to wrap your little mind around the fact that this WASN''T an issue BEFORE the invasion and occupation?

Are our own military leaders and Blackwater considered "bad actors" as they relate to arming the enemy?

Do you find the "arming of our enemy", by people that are allegedly on our side, acceptable?
