We do support those anti-Iran terrorists.

I've noticed a lot of anti-Iran psyops lately, everything from haircuts to stoning.

My only hope is by tomorrow the whole fucking Middle East is a smoking radioactive hell hole. That we lose thousands of troops and billions of dollars of military equiptment.

The only topper would be  nuclear Zombies or giant freaking fire belching, or in the case of Gamera farting, reptiles running amok.

This low level attrition bores me to tears and is designed to overwhelm the psyche.

Actually, they hate us because they are forced to sell their national treasures of oil for little pieces of paper. They hate us because our government is so involved in trying to topple their government.  They hate us because we kill innocents in the name of freedom.

Religion has NOTHING to do with the wars we are fighting, unless your religion is oil and FRNs. Sure, there are some muslim extremists, but perhaps the US policy shouldn't have been to aid the radicalization of the muslims to aid in our other fights against the russians or the iraqis. 

Don't forget the US has a significant Muslim population too and they don't want us all to die.  In fact, check out these videos -

"Religion has NOTHING to do with the wars we are fighting"

Partially untrue. The rise of Feminism and death of traditional religions allowed the state to step in and define education and morality for newly employed Moms. It also doubled the purchasing power of the average family, two paychecks more crap.

Any religion that goes teaches traditional morality is a target. Any religion which keeps it's women out of the work force is a target.

It's unreasonable to say that religion has nothing to do with it.  Islam doesn't distinguish between religion and politics - it's all one and the same.

I happen to like the Iranian youth, and was saddened by Obama's lackluster and latecoming "support" of them.  I understand Obama's point - you wouldn't want to give the world the impression that we would want to offend them by wishing freedom on them.

I think, though, that you think living in Iran makes them muslim.  I would venture that with the mullahocracy's boot off their neck, they would reject islam in large numbers.  I guess that your examples on Iran don't mean much to me, since I don't see them as being authentic followers of Mohammed, much like the US's Christian majority aren't authentic followers of Jesus.  That's a good thing in Iran's case, but a bad thing in America's.

Clearly, no country likes the presence of foreign armies.  But if you don't see that there is also an islamic rejection to foreign occupation then there's not much more to say about that.

- are desperately lacking in Democracy so to speak...

so which one of the 2 is it that motivates the US?. now here I dont mean Americans, but their goverments elected for the last few decades..that is a huge HUGE difference. I think Americans in general would be more prone to Live and Let Live in general. In fact come to think of it, most of the world's average citizen would be, aint it? If you dont mess with me , I won't mess with you!

Japan is a great example that our "officials" don't care about democracy with our wars and military presence.  The Democractic Party of Japan was elected into office with the platform of removing US military bases from Japan.  When the party went to act, Robert Gates warned of "dire consequences" for removing the bases.  Care about democracy? Fucking nonsense.

Oh well, too many people believe in the left right bullshit, so we can just weave our way down the path to hell led by the mob rule of morons.

The Shahram Affair: Kidnapped Iranian scientist exposes US government as a criminal enterprise by Justin Raimondo | Antiwar.com | July 14, 2010

Confronted with the accusation that Iranian nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri had been kidnapped by US and Saudi intelligence agencies while on a trip to Mecca, and brought to the US for interrogation, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley averred: “We are not in the habit of going around kidnapping people.”

To which the only proper response is: Oh, really?

Given the numerous instances of “extraordinary rendition” in which our government has been engaged, and no doubt continues to be engaged, one wonders how Senor Crowley can say that with a straight face. But then again, being an official spokesman for the US Department of State no doubt requires some sort of facial surgery – or, perhaps, an industrial-strength shot of Botox – to achieve the desired results.

Now that Shahram has shown up at the Iranian interests section of the Pakistani Embassy in Washington, D.C., claiming to have been abducted by the US and Saudi intelligence services, and tortured, Crowley may want to review his knowledge of US habits. …

Under Reagan, U.S. support for the mujahideen evolved into an official U.S. foreign policy, known as the Reagan Doctrine, which included U.S. support for anti-Soviet movements in Afghanistan, Angola, Nicaragua, and elsewhere.[9] Ronald Reagan praised mujahideen as "freedom fighters".

Mujahideen comprises much of the Taliban now.  Hmmm.  We will never learn.

But you didn't argue that they bomb each other all the time, therefore you might accept my thesis that this is not news, even if it happens in Iran, even if tensions over their nuclear program are high, even if everyone thinks this is Mossad. They bomb themselves all the time, it means nothing except to the injured and dead and their families. But that is a given, and is not news for a different reason.

The two countries announced their intention “to study opportunities for establishing a joint bank to finance oil, gas and petrochemical projects.”

The document also stipulates crude sales at the two countries’ oil exchanges. A joint venture can be created to boost cooperation.

The pro-Israel viewpoint is the war party mantra; namely that Iran is a threat to the world and only mobilization for another war will bring out the United States’ true patriotic colors.

But how will the American people pay for it, other than with their lives? Why, inflation and possible economic collapse, of course.

In 2001, Daniel Bernard, France’s ambassador to Britain, was overheard telling guests at a cocktail party that the world’s problems were all the fault of "that shitty little country, Israel." Why, the ambassador wondered aloud, "should the world be in danger of World War III because of those people.”

http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=11708

"If the cold war was World War III, as some argue, Norman Podhoretz thinks the United States should precipitate World War IV. Writing in Commentary (September 2002), he lauds President Bush's call for a preemptive strike against Iraq, but then asks: Why stop there? Indeed, most of the Muslim world needs to be overhauled, according to Podhoretz, including the 'axis of evil' (Iraq, Iran and the very non-Muslim North Korea), other Muslim countries such as Syria, Lebanon and Libya, as well as the 'friends' of America, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and for good …"  -- The Christian Century, November 6, 2002

One can say without exaggeration that inflation is an indispensable means of militarism,’” Ludwig von Mises wrote. “Without it, the repercussions of war on welfare become obvious much more quickly and penetratingly; war weariness would set in much earlier.” -- from INFLATING WAR: Central banking and militarism are intimately linked | July 15, 2010 | LewRockwell.com

Government can finance war (and everything else) by only three methods: taxes, debt, and the printing of money. Taxes are the most visible and painful, followed by debt finance, which crowds out private borrowing, drives up interest rates, and imposes the double burden of principal and interest. Money creation, on the other hand, makes war seem costless to the average citizen. But of course there is no such thing as a free lunch.”

Wrong.

A superpower can only finance war by continued aqusition of foriegn resources. All three of those methods aren't primary sources of finance.

Energy, expanded trade, technology are the only primary methods for financing war.

 

Stop measuring the cost of war in dollars. BHO doesn't.

The US, Israel and the British have been shipping weapons and explosives into Iran for a long time. Two of the groups being armed and trained are Arab tribes in the south and Kurdish tribes in the north. These people are very foolish to attack the huge Persian population in Iran since they are a small minority. These people will be driven across the border if they keep this crap up. They will pay a heavy price for being stupid.

The US has been doing the same thing in Sudan for many years. Again the US armed a minority group hoping to pressure the majority. This kind of crap rarely works. The Darfur problems were caused by the West hoping to keep the Chinese from getting Sudans oil.

Planned faked terror events to deceive the public and trump up support for wars for Americans to die in, such as Operation Northwoods, are becoming standard fare in this waning “sweet land of liberty.”

As for Pentagon and CIA involvement in the wholesale slaughter of innocent peoples, London Banker, one of the most respected voices in the blog biosphere and in one of his rare appearances, wrote the following yesterday on ZH (#470336), starkly reminiscent of Stalin’s and Mao's vast democides:

In the first months of the Iraq occupation in 2003 the 2000 strong Chalabi militia (e.g., death squads) recruited, financed and trained by SIAC (CIAs backward - geddit?) in 2002 were used to slaughter thousands of professors, intellectuals and lawyers in Iraq, decimating the ranks of middle class intelligensia that might have cogently and peacefully have objected to Chalabi's rule as a US sock puppet.  Those who weren't killed, fled as refugees.

This killing off of the local intelligensia - blamed in the media on sectarian violence - was critical to achieving the political paralysis that has enabled the occupation to persist for so long with so little effective, organised opposition.  No doubt it is the template for Iran.

Killing the intelligensia chills academic and political discourse for at least a generation, and sows the confusion that allows tyranny to govern most effectively.  Whether that tyranny will be one controlled by the Iranian religious elite or US/Israeli sock puppets will determine whether such a long war achieves strategic objectives.

My view has always been that neither China nor Russia will countenance a long occupation of Iran by the USA.  They will use Gates' own innovative strategy of recruiting and financing the Mujaheddin and Taliban to undermine US dominance and control in the region until the USA bankrupts itself in the next decade as the USSR did in the 1980s

Don't forget the British commandoes dressed up in local garb in a car full with explosives and arms near the border of Iran.

Prayers for the dead and injured. Attacking a house of worship is a despicable act. Blessings for the good people of Persia.
