Ask the Lebanese how they like having Iranian influence and Iranian trained and equipped terrorists in their country.

Then the Iranian threat to Iraq will be revealed.

Nah, the main problem in Iraq is Iranian training and equipping the Mahdi army, and Iran''''s Grand Ayatollah''''s religious/political influence in Iraq.

The US is the only thing between Iran''''s running Iraq like it is in Lebanon.

IRAN OR IRAQ IS NOT A THREAT TO AMERICA!

THE MIDDLE EAST HAS NOTHING AMERICA NEEDS!

ONLY THE ISRAELI LOBBIEST SUCH AS AIPAC ARE PUSHING THESE WARS IN THE MIDDLE EAST!

IF AMERICA PULLS OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST THESE COUNTRIES WILL BE FORCED TO WORK OUT THEIR OWN DIFFERENCES AND PLAY NICE!

WITHOUT AMERICAN MONEY AND BLOOD!

START IRAQ WAR CRIMES TRIALS NOW AND MAKE THOSE WHO LIED AMERICA INTO THIS WAR PAY!

AMERICA STAND UP OR SHUT UP!

Rick,,,, You say we are about power & control yet ignore your GOP''s demands for a supreme Presidential Executive Power ----- LOL

It''s your GOP for the better part of 5 years who have opposed any fact finding from 9/11 to War Profiteering. ----- Your GOP still fights Congressional oversite our Constitution calls for.

Again vietname, apparently you cannot read. Israel will not attack Iran unless Iran provokes it and attacks Israel first. Israel is operating in defense mode, while Iran is operating in Jihadist terrorist mode.

Israel has a right to defend itself, just like the USA does, and we are Israel''''s top ally.

Dump as# , Israel already said:
"The window of opportunity has closed. The sanctions are not effective," said Mofaz, who was born in Iran in 1948. "There will be no alternative but to attack Iran in order to stop the Iranian nuclear program."

Rick,,,, You have endangered this country -- We no longer have the military capabilities to defend this country from a major attack -- But you refuse to listen to our generals & admirals.

Even our Special Forces have had to reduce their commitments, they now have 3 team members trying to do the job it took 5 members to do.

guyfrompa45,,,, That''s what McBush would lead you to believe, but they neither have the capabilities nor the need to do so ---- Regional stability is in their favor not instability & wars.

But, don''t take that as sticking up for Iran... Just explaining the problems to you and the Cold War neocon bad foreign policy''s that only fuel the terrorism problems, animosity against the west & increased diffuclties facing Israel the GOP has contributed to.

Israel is threatening Iran with atacks over its nuclear facilities. With catastrophic consequences.
Things are heating up in the Middle-East. We need to clam the situation. We need the diplomatic effort to double and more. Get the apocalyptic idiots out of office today, before it''s too late.

Iran''s defense minister warned of a "painful response" if Israel attacks Iran, the official IRNA news agency reported Monday.

Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar was responding to statements from Shaul Mofaz, an Israeli Cabinet minister, who warned Friday that Israel will attack Iran if it doesn''t abandon its nuclear program.

Israel, which itself is believed to have stockpiled about 200 nuclear weapons, has accused Iran of seeking to build its own arsenal.
