Thread: Iran: How much longer do we have to put up with them?

Iran has been ignoring the UN, International Atomic Energy Agency, European Union, NATO, US, and basically every other country in the world for years. They have repeatedly ignored calls for them to suspend their nuclear program. Their president, Ahmadinejad, has been calling for the destruction of Israel, the US, and the West since before he was even elected. He has even said that he doesn't "give a damn about UN sanctions." The man has denied the holocaust and preached hatred towards the Jews. Iran's "navy" has often harrassed allied shipping and naval assets by threatening to "blow up" our ships, capturing and holding prisoner British sailors and marines, and aggressively manuevering near our ships. Iran has also been connected to terrorists working in Iraq and has been implicated in the deaths of US troops operating there. And today they test launched nine missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads to targets as far as Israel and US military bases in Turkey, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan. And these "military excercises" that Iran loves so much happen all the time. So again I ask the question: How much longer must the rest of the world put up with Iran?

Wait, wait - this will be fun.

Here, I'll pretend to be Barack Obama...

Barack: Iran is not a serious threat to this country and I would meet with it's leader with no preconditions. We can talk them into being nice guys, we just have to talk.

*fast forward a couple months*

Barack: Iran is a grave threat to this country and we can't take the possibility of military action against them off the table.









Anyway - I'd imagine a full scale offensive against Iran won't be coming any time soon, but some covert ops are not out of the question.

I hope we never hear about it until the day he has a heart attack or his plane crashes into the ocean because of mechanical failure.

I bet Israel attacks them between November election and January inauguration.

The missiles that they test fired today was in response to an Israeli military exerise in the eastern Mediteranian. Those exercises that Israel performed were withing 10Km of what would be the Iranian nuclear facility at Nentaz, or so US military officials. Israel is not quiet about the fact that if Iran doesnt shut down their nuclear program, they will do it for them. Remember Israel has attacked nuclear facilities in the past in the Middle East, both times in Iraq I believe.

The question of how long we have to wait is a tough one. Im gonna say within 5 years, that is if Iran doesnt take some action to get the world off their back, we will be at war with Iran. Iran is like that little kid teasing the biggest dog on the block while hes fenced, and what happens when that dog gets free? He catches that little kid and makes him pay.

Both presidential candidates spoke up today about Iran and their tests. McCain says we need to look into missile defenses and be ready for the inevitable because Iran is a threat. Obama says we need to go into "diplomatic discussions" with Iran and offer them "incentive" packages to cease what they are doing, ie nuclear program. Sounds like Obama needs to wake the fuck up and realize thats what has been going on and it aint working. McCain has the right idea, get ready for it.

OH and my incentive package for Iran: Stop now and we WONT come in and kick your ass.

What I don't understand is why these crazy leaders of these countries test us?

Don't they know we will fuck them up?
