| Iran - the next US target? John Bolton has stated that Iran is sponsoring terrorism in Iraq and is the reason why the US are not winning the war there. And in the same week that Tony Blair stated that the diminishing oil reserves mean we must consider nuclear power as a sensible source of energy, Bolton says that Iran must not be allowed to continue its nuclear program. In fact, he simply says that Iran is building nuclear weapons and refuses to concede that they might need nuclear energy as an alternative to oil. American soldiers are now being told that they have a license to kill Iranian 'activists', whatever that means. Clearly, Bolton's statements that the US needs to refocus its intentions and strategy for Iraq are simply a veiled attempt to hide the fact that the US administration now wants to bring Iran to its knees. How will the rest of the civilised world deal with this? Not sure, but I'm glad I don't live in the Middle East.

| Can't remember the exact words but you get the idea. Bolton has also said that the US want to stop Iran using oil revenues to sponsor terrorism, so they have a duty to curtail their oil supplies. So what will they do for energy then? They want regime change. Heard these words before? |

| I believe the actions that the U.S. will take against Iranians are Iranians aiding or conducting operations, or gathering intelligence inside Iraq. As stated by another poster, and at times myself, the Americans are supporting the same groups as the Iranians: Nouri Al-Maliki, Sayyid Moqtada Al-Sadr, Sayyid Abdul Aziz Al-Hakim, These are the Shiite groups that comprise the current coalition government in Iraq. This is the very same government that the U.S. is supporting. And, so is Iran. The U.S. and Iran are actually supporting the same side.

| The Grand Wazoo | April 7th 1980 broke diplomatic relations with Iran. So there isn't much harmony to be seen. Maybe Iranians are missing their big macs and KFC buckets of fried chicken. Instead of bombing Iran with explosives we should just spray the entire country with pig feces. |

That's not what I mean. I mean....that the U.S. and Iran are supporting the same sides in Iraq. Right now. Note the political parties and names mentioned above. | |

| IMHFO the US can........but it will inevitably come back and bite them in ass just like it has in iraq. i'm really beginning to think that either the US or israel is going to bomb iran before jan 2009. Last edited by raycarey : 31-01-2007 at 07:47 PM. |

I guess I neglected to make my point that any perceived cooperation between Alsadyr and the USA and Iran is likely unintended. But who knows, I just think we should give them all a nice bath in pig shit. | |

| i've got a few dogs, and one of them is a small little bitch that barks alot whenever someone begins to approach my home....but once they come up close to the gate she runs like hell, and doesn't make a peep. it's kind of funny....she's all courage and bravado when there's no real risk. i guess it's kind of like posting on an thailand internet forum and thumping one's chest about the ME.

This is starting to sound like convenient propoganda. Mobilize the uneducated and functionally illiterate masses to back a surgical strike. | |
