Update on Middle Eastern Wars
Since
the U.S. Has Been Planning Regime Change In Syria For Decades, I Guess
the Little Things Like Working On the Same Side as Al Qaeda – or the
Risk of Picking a Fight with Nuclear Powers China and Russia – Are
Ignored
AP reports:
Top U.S. intelligence officials told Congress Thursday
that al-Qaida of Iraq was likely behind a series of bombings against the
Syrian regime in recent months.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said bombings against
security and intelligence targets in Damascus and Aleppo bear “all the
earmarks of an al-Qaida-like attack”, leading the U.S. intelligence
community to believe the Iraqi militant branch is extending its reach
into Syria.
(this corroborates the Arab League’s findings.)
This is interesting for two reasons.
First, there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq until the U.S. invaded in 2003:
(
Despite the repeated attempts by the U.S. to link Saddam to 9/11.)
Second, the U.S., Israel and its allies are fighting on the same side as Al Qaeda: against the Syrian government.
As I noted yesterday, Syria will hold elections and enact a new Constitution in less than two weeks.
But the U.N passed a resolution
today calling for Syrian president (Bashar al-Assad) to resign. The
U.S. and Israel will try to use this as a proclamation of “international
backing” for an invasion of Syria.
Russia said today it does not support regime change:
The deputy minister also said that Russia does not
intend to persuade Syrian President Bashar Assad to accept the Arab
League’s proposal on sending a joint LAS and UN peacekeeping force to
Damascus.
Russia opposes any regime change, or removal of President Assad. In addition, Moscow insists on recognizing the role of the opposition in the current violence.
An as I noted last week:
Russia has sent a large naval force
to Syria in a show of support for the Syrian government, and a
high-level Russian general and former member of the Russian joint chiefs
of staff has said that Russia will defend Iran. Iran and Syria have had a mutual defense pact for years, and Iran is purportedly directly assisting the Syrian military in its fight with the rebels … sending 15,000 troops of its own. And China has warned against an attack on Syria.
I guess when a country has been planning regime change in Syria for decades
– little things like working on the same side as our mortal enemies,
having a government agree to elections and a new constitution, or
potentially provoking nuclear powers like China or Russia are ignored.
Depsite the Hysteria, Experts Say that Iran Poses Very Little Threat to the West or Israel
The war drums are growing very loud.
For example, the former head of Mossad – who has been strongly opposed to war against Iran – has now thrown in the towel, and more or less said that war is inevitable after the car bombs in India, Thailand and Georgia (even though it is not clear that Iran is guilty for those attacks).
But AP notes:
[Defense Intelligence Agency chief Lt. Gen. Ronald]
Burgess tells senators Iran is unlikely to initiate or intentionally
provoke a conflict.[Director of National Intelligence James] Clapper says it’s
“technically feasible” that Tehran could produce a nuclear weapon in
one or two years, if its leaders decide to build one, “but practically
not likely.”
Indeed, Iran has not attacked another country in hundreds of years. (In the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq was the initial aggressor.)
Moreover, American, Israeli and European leaders all say that Iran has not even decided whether or not to build a nuclear bomb.
And – as the Christian Science Monitor notes – even if Iran did build a bomb – it probably wouldn’t pose much of a danger:
Shrill warnings of war or imminent apocalypse over Iran’s nuclear program have never been so strident, or so ominous.
A window is closing fast, the narrative goes, to prevent a fanatical
and suicidal religious regime from acquiring the ultimate tools of Armageddon: nuclear weapons. Within months, some politicians claim, either Israel, the United States, or both may have no choice but to attack Iran to remove this “existential threat” to the Jewish state.
The world is facing another Hitler, declares Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
and this moment of decision is akin to the eve of World War II. Iran
is a threat to Israel and “a real danger to humanity as a whole,” warns
Israeli President Shimon Peres.
The tone on the US presidential campaign trail is no less dire.
***
In fact, say analysts and nonproliferation experts who have
studied the effect of the bomb on countries, coexisting with a
nuclear-armed Iran – or at least a nuclear-capable Iran – may well be
possible, even inevitable, whether a military strike delays that
outcome or not.
Analysts say Iran is not an irrational, suicidal actor that can’t be
deterred. Nor do they believe it is determined to destroy Israel at all
costs. A recent Israeli think tank simulation of “the day after” an
Iranian nuclear test came to the same conclusion: that nuclear
annihilation will not automatically result.
***
If Iran were to become a nuclear power, the most immediate question
would be what it means for Israel, where warnings have reached
histrionic heights.“Absolutely nothing will happen,” says Martin Van Creveld, an Israeli
historian and author of some 20 books on military strategy. “Israel
has what it takes to deter Iran, and the Iranians know it.”
Mr. Van Creveld is implying that Israel’s own nuclear arsenal of an
estimated 200 warheads would prevent any Iranian first strike. Israel
has the only such arsenal in the Middle East, and – unlike Iran’s
program – it has never been subject to UN inspection or safeguards.
“Say they build one bomb – it’s not good enough. They need how many –
2, 3, 5, 10, 20? And that will take them a long time, so it’s all
nonsense,” says Van Creveld. Iran is “not going to commit suicide by
dropping the bomb – or even threatening to drop the bomb – on us.”***
In Israel, even talking about living with a nuclear-armed Iran has
long been taboo because it might appear to concede that what the US,
Israel, and Europe have declared
“unacceptable” is, in fact, acceptable. Yet that was the scenario of a
simulation last October by the Institute for National Security Studies
(INSS), an Israeli think tank affiliated with Tel Aviv University, that gave insights into what might happen across the region if Iran became a nuclear state.The surprising result, the day after a hypothetical Iranian nuclear
test, was not war. Instead, all the main players – from Washington to Moscow to Tel Aviv – adjusted rather easily to the new reality, with few dramatic changes in behavior.Even Iran, rather than wielding its handful of new atomic bombs as a
sword of Damocles over a fearful region, attempted “to use them to
reach an agreement with the major powers to improve its strategic
standing,” according to the INSS report on the simulation published in
January.“The sky won’t fall the day after,” says Yoel Guzansky, a research
fellow at INSS who shaped the simulation and was an Iran specialist in
the Israeli prime minister’s office for four years until 2009.***
NATO says it is “unlikely” that Iran would pledge nuclear protection
of its proxies like Hezbollah – and makes no mention of sharing such
hard-won nuclear technology with them, which is a frequent refrain of
hawks and doomsday politicians.[Geneva-based Iran specialist with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Shahram] Chubin
states in his book on Iran’s nuclear ambitions that “there is no
reason to believe that Iran today, any more than Saddam Hussein
earlier, would transfer WMD [weapons of mass destruction] technology to
terrorist groups like Al Qaeda or Hezbollah.”Likewise, proliferation expert Joseph Cirincione,
in his 2007 book “Bomb Scare,” points out that nations like Iran and
North Korea are “not the most likely sources for terrorists since their
stockpiles, if any, are small and exceedingly precious, and hence well
guarded.”

nice list and you're right, could go on for days
I just read the Pop mechanics explaination for their "pancake Theory" I saw it on Discovery years ago but never read the article for obvious reasons, till now. It is misleading at best.
The floors were designed AROUND the internal superstructure, The elevator shaft-s. So, for the pancake theory to become reality, the internal superstructure would still be standing (like I said) and the floors would be stacked on top of eachother at the base thus stripping the building of it's floor plan after a "collapse". Dis Information campaign.
Is that what really happened? No, the building blew up, the basement burned for 3 weeks to the extent that molten boulders of steel were retrieved in the months afterwards.
Jet fuel burns at 1,300, steel melts at 3,000+.
Building fatigue due to "extreme heat" plausable, refer to the top of this post to reinstate the fact that the whole building as one entitiy can not fall at the speed of gravity with an internal superstructure falling in tow with the lighter floors.
Personal note:
Wait until I get my 252 Ground Zero pics retrieved from my old laptop hard drive and photobucket linked to here. Then, you be the judge of the damning jpg's I own that only 2 civilians have seen to my knowledge.
I'm giving GW the first crack at this so I'm going to need an e-mail addy so he can create a Marquis post of discussion / viewing reaction to the jpg packet I send to him.
"The floors were designed AROUND the internal superstructure" - that's all you need to know. Of course there's 900,000 other pieces of evidence, but the structure design alone is pretty damaging
the only people who honestly believe the official 911 story at this point are the people who want to remain ignorant because the truth would utterly destroy what they consider reality. as for the trolls with their ludicrous and idiotic defense of the gov story (citing popular mechanics, really), just doing their part to keep the sheeple in the dream world.
The only people who honestly believe the evil zionistas would and could go to the lengths alledged are people who want to remain ignorant. Even stupid mechnical engineers get that there is no reason to build the Taj Mahal when a one room hut will do and such an elaborate plan would obviously include the coup de gras, the easy part planting of the WMDS.
thanks for illustrating the second point of my post.
THe problem is the larger historical data set says you are going backwards not forwards,
so why should anyone buy into the perpetual and repetitive latchings onto de-evolution?
The middle east under islamic control has gone backwards the last 100yrs, despite discovery of immense resources they have actually gone backwards. The avg radical muzzie is living worse off compared to the rest of the world than before discovering oil. The seemingly impossible.
So given you leading the human race backwards, not debatable given former third world shitholes around the globe have surpassed the avg middle east muzzie,
followers are just following the human race backwards.
since when were the people in any of those countries in control of their own resources? never. US/Isreali puppet regimes would be expected to keep these countries backwards. that seems self apparent to me. Iran is the exception, it is thriving despite constant harassment by the globalist system. in short, these countries were designed to fail, so your entire argument is rigged and bullshit. nice try.
Sure better off, what is the total economy in the middle east absent oil? About the size of Finland or something?
Yea designed to fail good one. Yea keep these countries backwards despite reaping huge sums of found money.
They are worse off despite discoverying oil, they got the money from the oil, it didn't evaporate into thin air and thanks to the western world's infrastructure they got 25 times or more as much money as they would have otherwise,
the seemingly impossible.
The good thing is places like this do not discover jackshit on their own because any such things would be for the ruling elite only.
got the money from the oil? really... nice story bro.
on crack?
They the single largest profiteers, have been for 100yrs and it is not close.
and they got significantly more money than they would have gotten absent the western world,
another thing not close.
When is the Paneful History Series coming out? I hear it's some very funny fiction
Fuck you and Fuck Popular Mechanics. Anyone that doesn't see the multiply problems with the "official" 9/11 story is a fucking MORON.. or a shill.. or just down right evil..
Max, you sound like an idiot. You have shown no proof either, so you have a tantrum, grow up.
Simple observation, common sense and a Mechanical Engineering degree give me all the proof I need to see the many holes in the "official" theory. I have reviewed the Popular Mechanics theory vs the AE911 theory.. PM fails to address many holes.. Also, I saw the show on TLC that was suppose to show that heated steal would weaken and fail but they didn't even remotely simulate the conditions. It's a fucking JOKE!.. and so are you.. 9/11 is a fucking lie.. I don't know who is behind it, I just know that the official story is a fucking lie.. I will not lay out the proof for you as it would be a waste of time. I know it, you know it, so don't pull the PROOF bullshit on me. There is less PROOF for the official story than there is for the alternate theories.. so.. STFU you fucking shill... I hope your children are proud of you.. When this country decays into a pile of shit because of morons like you that allowed the lies to live and our country to die..
Max Hunter, OK 9/11 is all a lie, it was the Zionist/FEMA/Queen of England/Pope, and you are a Mechanical Engineer, who will do nothing about it at the end of the day, so you are all talk no action and are as bad as "you fucking shill"(as you described me). The problem at hand is this, we are going to probably send Troops to Syria and definitively going to hit Iran, and pile up more debt on top of the debt that has already bankrupt us. So given our two new possible wars and crushing debt why the hell are we debating 9/11? Do you agree with those last two points at least?
No, not at all.. The problems we face today are all related to 9/11. NONE of this shit would be happening if this government (or factions inside) did not allow and/or create this murder and fear. This FEAR has our country in "hate brown people" frenzie and allows all of the wars and invasions and gives the propaganda legitimacy.
If you stood up today (as I do) against the 9/11 lie, and so did the rest of the country, 50% of our problems would go away. Simple as that.
I can't force you to be smart enough to see this.. You have to come to it on your own.. Just like I did.. No one argued me into believing 9/11 was a lie.. I simply let my 40 years of conditioning become subjective and looked into the possibility that the world (and its people) are not what I thought it was..
And let's not forget this fortuitous wee coincidence:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YVkoHYegXr0
Anyone who doesn't realise this implies a large conspiracy to stage a fake 'attack', was underway, and that elements within the US GOVT were necessarily intimately involved in its planning and its execution; are either a part of subsequent covering-up and civil befuddlement/discrediting operations, or is simply willingly ignorant, or more likely, is a zionist/satanist/illuminist who wishes to steer people away from what has become a rather obvious and undeniable chain of implicated and premeditated concurrently orchestrated pseudo-attack events, on and around Sept 11 2001.
Excellent points.
They just forgot to plant the WMDS in Iraq thereby abdicating power to the democrats and going down in history as failures.
Something soooooo much easier to pull off than the 9/11 attacks.
THe avg functionining drug addict imbecile understands the logical impossiblity given the incompetence and general ineptitude of the government.
Common sense would suggest that even if the evil zionistas were behind the 9/11 attacks which is of course preposterously farcical,
that they hardly needed that grand a plan with that much exposure to accomplish the same goal.
But then again cannot let common sense get in the way of grand delusions with some good old joo hate mixed in.
Aslam Alekem Brother.
how does the absence of WMDS answer all the evidence of that september day? You keep falling back on that when you can't answer the other questions. It's pathetic
Here are some other facts you might want to reflect upon, or try to disprove, that suggest Mohammed Atta, identified as the leader of the 9/11 hijackers, was probably a Mossad agent:(1) Comments by his father saying his son was with the Mossad, and alive after 9/11;(2) A number of clues suggesting he may not have been on the flight, and possibly disappeared out a back door at the Boston airport;(3) Atta expressed interest in a company specializing in space technology. This company was later acquired by Israel;(4) His ability to speak Hebrew;(5) His involvement with German, Pakistani, Saudi and Syrian intelligence and US military and intelligence organizations;(6) The cover-up of the identity of his German host family by US investigators; and(7) His dual personality attested to by his friends on two continents.
The group that actually was set up to take the blame were Muslim radicals recruited by either Yeslam Bin Laden (brother of Osama Bin Laden) or Richard Secord (CIA) and David Kimche (Mossad) at the probable request of Adnan Khashoggi and Sheikh Kamal Adham (business partners of George Bush Sr.). At least seven of these hijackers used names and other personal information acquired by identity theft. Five of these seven names had affiliations with US military training institutions. Most of the passports used by the hijackers came from the US embassy in Saudi Arabia. Khaled Odtallah (from Jerusalem) was responsible for establishing false American identities for the group inside the World Trade Center. These facts suggest the attackers were organized by intelligence agencies rather than terrorists. These facts lead to the assumption the attack was a joint effort between Israeli and Saudi Intelligence, with US support.
Gadfly your PROOF is????????????????????? Let me guess? NONE. Goodbye.
Excuse me but I have to disprove Atta was probably a Mossad agent????? That's fact #1?????????????
Your other facts are Atta had interest in a space company?????? Big fucking deal!!!! Was he going to the moon!!!!!!!!!
Any jerkoff can say anything is a conspiracy. You're just stringing sentences and declaring them facts and then decided that any connection you make of anything is absolutely what happened. Oh and of course anyone that disagrees with your genius connections is ignorant.
Yawn.
frostfan=troll
Backing up Gadfly and Max Hunter:
A hidden fact about the video survailance tape of Atta and 5 friends Satam Al Suqami, Abdulaziz Alomari etc.. passing through the security gate on the morning of 9/11 is that tape came from Portland Maine, (omited truth to make one think* it was from Dulles in most cases.) It shows only 3 passing through security gate at 05:54 to board a Colgan Airways flight 5930 with a departure time of 07:45 with wheels up at 08:14. So how can they be boarding flight 11 in Dulles at 07:59? Why didn't they just hi-jack their first flight?
Review:
Portland security tape shows them passing through at 05:54 to board flight 5930 with a departure time of 07:45 that departed at 08:14 with 10 pieces of luggage between the 3 of them. = True
If I'm going to hi-jack a flight, what the fuck do I need all my luggage for? The after life?
Dulles flight 11, the purported flight of Atta and friends departure time was at 07:45 with no wheels up time on the tower records, meaning the flight never took off. = True
What they were not telling you (MSM) is that the security video from Portland Maine was used to divert attention to make the timeline seem feasable and or make people think it was the tape from Dulles security gate. = plausable
The Video tape from Maine had a timestamp on the CCT recording of 05:54 but failed to mention that their departing flight didn't leave till 08:14. Omition of a very important fact. = True
Why did they show up so early in Portland Maine for a departing flight 5930 at 07:45? I don't know, I can't speak eliquently for Saudi Arabians flight habits. But they sure as fuck missed their flight out of Dulles. = True.
All Hi-jackers were from Saudi Arabia except for one. = True.
Look, if you don't want to dedicate the time to investigate very basic time flight arrival information, then go stick your head back in the sand.
Let the red arrows fly, it's an inconvienent truth that the Boob tube forgot to disclose.
Hmmm.. Portland Maine to Boston or Portland Maine to Dulles????
The anti-semite anti=zionist answer is Dulles
The real world is Boston.
Being that they flew into Boston and not Dulles........ well you got your anti-semite red arrows Money 4 nothing based on lying that they flew to Dulles and not Boston. Well done.
Didn't I give you research to do?
Flight 175 was from Logan to LA.
Flight 11 was leaving from Logan too, I stand corrected, listed wrong city. Dosen't matter, Flight 11 never went wheels up so that's out of the equasion, insert Boston for Dulles, fixed, I got flight 11 and 77 confused with Dulles.
Portland Maine Colagan flight 5930, 07:45 departure with wheels up at 08:10 still doesen't place Atta and friends at Boston Logan for a flight 11 departure time of 08:10. Even if it existed. What your glossing over is the fact the Maine 08:10 wheels up time to Boston 08:10 wheels up time according to Their official story, you can't have it both way's with conflicting flight departure times. There is no CCT or evidence Atta even arrived to Boston, I mean REAL evidence like what you saw in the Portland Maine tape.
Bottom line:
1. Flight 5930 did NOT have ANY flights in that corridor.
2. Flight 11 is NOT listed with BTS / Tower log as wheels up-(canceled).
Explaination further below.
No physical, documentary or analytical evidence provides a convincing explanation of why Atta and al Omari drove to Portland, Maine, from Boston on the morning of Sept. 10, only to return to Logan on Flight 5930 with a departure time of 07:45 according to the FAA tower log. Not 06:45 arrival in Boston on the morning of September 11. Weird right? I will use the FAA wheels up Airport Tower logg as a reference before I believe the 9/11 Commission.
Exploring ideas:
So, were they on flight 5930 at 08:10? or Flight 11 at 08:10? Then hit Tower 1 at 08:46? A 36 Minuite flight from Boston to NYC, still doesn't fit even if Cologan flight is taken out of the Equasion admitting Yes, flight 11 existed, Atta and friends were on flight 11 and hi-jacked it, This official flight pattern is not a 36 minuite trip http://911research.wtc7.net/planes/attack/flight11route.jpg again, it doesn't fukin fit the time frame. Your not taking off from Boston, overtaking a whole flight while on course for LA, divert the flight and arrive in NYC in 36 minuits, period. As the crow flies, possible to reach NYC in say 40 minuits but not a diverted path. Look at the East to West dog leg, according to the official report, that accounted for 10 minuits of flying time, I call Bullshit.
Seperating fact from fiction:
The hijackers may have picked Portland the way any passenger might - convenience.
"Whatever their reason," the report concludes, "the Portland jetport was the nearest airport to Boston with a 9/11 flight that would have arrived at Logan in time for the passengers to transfer to American Airlines Flight 11, which had no scheduled departure time.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics has a database which reports the times of arrivals and departures of airlines that account for one percent or more of US domestic travel.
US Airways is in that group and so has to report its flights to the BTS.
US Airways has a group of nine smaller airlines working for it as sub-contractors. These airlines are the US Airways Express. These tiny airlines all have codeshare agreements with US Airways and their flights are reported to the BTS as US Airways flights, due to this codeshare agreement. That way, the tiny airline gets more bookings and US Airways doesn't have to bother with those small runs to offbeat markets.
The US Express planes and uniforms and just about every single thing you can think of, FLIGHT NUMBERS INCLUDED, are exactly the same as those of the US Airways. The paychecks are probably different, but as far as we are concerned, US Express is part of US Airways and US Airways therefore has to report US Express codeshare flights to the BTS.
If you check the BTS stats for Portland Jetport and Logan, you will find that it was PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for Atta/Bukhari/Alomari/Whoever
to have caught a US Express/Colgan Air flight out of Portland and then hijacked Flight 11. Colgan Air/US Express didn't even fly out of Portland Jetport directly to Boston on that day,
-- or on all the other other days that were checked.
Therefore no US Express/Us Airways flights were reported to the BTS and we have no idea HOW
Atta/Bukhari/Alomari/Whoever
EVER got into Logan in the first place,
and forget about punctuality.
Conclusion:
What hit building 1? Something did. But it couldn't have been Atta and friends in the Cockpit.
Again, flight 11 is not in the BTS tower log as departed, Find the FAA / BTS log for flight 11 departing, Oh, there isn't one for flight 11? That's curious?
Were talking about a flight 11 that didn't leave the ground anyway (cancelled) according to BTS tower log I left for you. Get your head out of the 9/11 Commission report. Name calling is a good last resort.
Go answer all those questions I left for you and stop concerning yourself with symantics..
Like any conspiracy theorist, you keep reaching deeper and deeper into the bullshit.
And I hitting all your links, no. Why? Because you so blatantly missed and screwed up saying Atta was in Dulles when he flew into WTC. And like any conspiracy theorist, you'll shrug off such a incredible factual miss like it's no big deal. As for flying from Boston to New York in 41 minutes, how is that not possible even with a diversion. We're talking like 200 miles on a straight line by a jumbo jet. Even with a hundred mile diversion, that's no problem.
People like you are pissed that there are actually planes caught on camera hitting the WTC as you would love nothing more than to say it's a controlled demolition. Instead, you would have us believe that the government chose to kill every passenger that chose to take a flight from Boston to LA. Oh wait, they too must be part of the conspiracy.
So no, I am not following your research and warped timetables. Go ahead and pretend you can't fly from portland to Boston to NY in 3 hours.
Actually, the more I read, the dumber you sound. What do you mean, four people can't hijack a plane in 36 minutes. That tells me you've never been in a fight. Or I guess, you've never seen a bank robbery in a movie. Does a bank robbery take 36 minutes?
I don't see any answers posted back here so STFU till you know how to follow orders. You may learn something.
I agree with frost fan it was the communists who burned down the Reichstag anyone who says otherwise is a fool
Yawn
I agree with the Fonz all the radical islamic groups are really CIA/Mossad.
There really is no such thing as Hezbollah and radical islam via the Syria's and Iran's of the world really haven't been attacking western interests for decades.
It was really the CIA who took the hostages. Mossad took out the USS Cole,
Msomething was behind the African emnbassy bombing and the nightclub bombings around the world,
FBI was behind the first WTC attack-just follow the lunatic links,
and if something happens at the Olympics in the United Kingdom of Muzzlandville this year it will surely be anybody but the radical islamic.
Afterall before the evil zionistas appeared the middle east was peaceful the previous thousand years.
if Iran is allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, they could fed-ex it here and it could arrive as fast as over night
scary indeed
With all its might and fire power the US has not won one war since 1945.
Hell, we aint applied our full power yet.
Sooner or later the USA will find itself in a proper war with da big boys. Then we see who wins what eh?
Wake up dude, that is because Corporate America and the industrial military complex figured out that "winning" means peace and peace is bad for profits. How stupid are you?
I found two pieces on Drudge, what you have to monitor is what Israel is sayin and how USA reacts to it, it's anyones guess right now.
I say war in baked in the cake, but other news reports say no. It's all Orwellian speak sometimes.

". . . little things like working on the same side as our mortal enemies . . ."
Are you trying to be stupid or just dumb?
Everything that you see & hear is what a Dying Currency (dollar) looks like. Gold / Silver Bitchez! Get 'em while you can!
"Gold / Silver Bitchez! Get 'em while you can!"
You bet!
is a silver bitch a new denomination of coin?
Yes, and it's embossed in Obamas likeness. A further investigation into this privately minted coin has revealed that it is only silver plated pig iron.
One issue that is clearly highlighted today is that a failed state like Pakistan, run by a military elite since sixty years, now has international status of "key country" because it has a nuclear arsenal.
Having a nuclear arsenal, there are not many nation states who are part of this club, gives a country however poor and non functional it may be, aka N. Korea and Pakistan, unique world geo-political clout.
Psychologically speaking, if IRan became the first moslem ME country to face Israel with its own nuclear arsenal, something that Saddam didn't achieve and the Sauds are actively contemplating, will change the world's perception of IRAN's geo-political role alongside, Pakistan, China, Russia and India in that hot spot region; where black gold running the world economy is buried.
Especially if you include the Eurasian economic union of gas producing nations, the OTHER alternative to oil. Making the ME/Eurasian region centerpiece for decades to come...
what's going on is exactly what the President has said is going on: "we're withdrawing, we're cutting back."
Al-Qaeda was in Iraq well before the Gulf war. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1973193/posts
Iran has threatened on many occasions to attack Israel and the United States once they have completed both their nuclear weapons and the delivery systems needed. They are currently working on Inter-Continental missiles, and should have a working model ready soon. Their nuclear weapons research has been completed and they will be ready to mate the new nuclear warhead with the missile as soon as the longer range system is ready. Why? Because they have in their possession several small nuclear warheads, that while they may or may not be currently able to detonate, but they provide the knowledge needed to construct small warheads. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/05/31/iran-nuclear-warheads/
They also have plans for small warheads as listed in the article.
So, with Inter-Continental Missiles and the technology and materials now available to produce nuclear weapons for those missiles, Iran will soon posses the ability to attack the United States with a direct nuclear attack. And in the interim, they posses the ability to strike the US with a shorter ranged missile launched from a ship offshore, that would be able to lift a nuclear weapon over the US to a height above the Kármán line, giving them the ability to shut the US down by detonating a nuclear weapon and creating an EMP effect over most of the US. http://www.newser.com/story/129685/iran-our-navy-will-patrol-off-us-east...
This may be the reasoning behind the Iranian scheduled "Patrols" off the US coasts. http://www.missilethreat.com/archives/id.60/subject_detail.asp " Iran test-launched a tactical ballistic missile from a ship last year and the threat has become much worse with the rapid proliferation of cruise missiles. China has already supplied many to Iran. "
So, most of your article is mus-informed. I have been watching the Iranian development of the weapons and delivery system needed to attack the mainland of America for many years, and soon we will reap the rewards we have earned by just standing by and letting this threat develop without any response from our political or military establishments.

Your post has no factual basis.
"Iran has threatened on many occasions to attack Israel and the United States ..."
Quite the opposite. High government officials in both Israel and the US have repeatedly threatened to attack Iran. And much more, the US and Israel are not-so-covertly and openly engaged in hostilities normally considered acts of war such as assassination and economic blockade.
Despite its constant repetition by high government officials in Israel and the USA (including Bush and Obama), Ahmadinejad NEVER said Israel should be "wiped off the map" or anything reasonably close to it. The alleged "quote" was a media fabrication.

Saddam did not support AlQaeda, or have anything to do with 9/11. Saddam was hated by Bin Laden for being too secular. They were declared enemies. Saddam repressed religious extremists for being a threat to his regime.
Al Qaeda (Wahhabism) was and is supported by Saudis who disliked Saddam and always have viewed Iran as an enemy.
Look in the mirror, you are projecting your own extremism, paranoia, and xenophobia. You are the one supporting and advocating military aggression and untold deaths.
Wait a minute, the Iranians have had so many missiles malfunction on the launch pad and in flight it is a joke, this comes from NORAD. They have huge quality control problems and in order to miniaturize a warhead to fit on an ICBM will take years to complete. So now these backward ass holes who can not even produce a washing machine, are now able to hit the USA soon with a ICBM? Bullshit, this sounds like the foundation of propaganda we have been hearing about for the past couple of years to get everyone hyped up for a good old bombing campaign against Iran. Could they eventually hit the US, yup, will it be soon, no fucking way. NO WAR, NO MORE CRUSHING DEBT THAT WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO PAY BACK.
"Iran will soon posses the ability to attack the United States with a direct nuclear attack."
And what...pray tell...would be their reason for mounting a suicidal attack against the U.S.? Wait, let me guess. They hate us for our freedoms, right?
