    Just So We're Clear Here: Iran is Threatening Us?



    Each star marks a U.S. military base.

    But just so we are clear: Iran is threatening us, we're not threatening them.

    Right.

    And some folks wonder why some of us fear a warmonger neo-conservative like Newt might take office and get us bogged down in another costly, unfunded war?

As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E

    Iran has been at war with the US since 1979.

    Where the hell have you been?

    Oh, and I hope we got'em by the balls!

    Go LAGC go over there and talk to them, calm them down or else we will draft Sarah Palin and send her over there with her helicopter and her moose gun. Shooting down a defenseless drone is one thing but facing a mama bear. Well I almost feel sorry for the Ayatollah.

    Not a threat to the US.

    Israel was born of war and only exists by war and threats of war.

    Israel always needs enemies and Iran is the current choice. I mean Syria may have to do but the first choice is Iran. BennytheNut would like to consider Lebanon an option but the Israeli military won't let that happen.

    AIPAC runs US foreign policy in the Middle East and always that policy is favorable only to Israel.

    The job of the US taxpayer is to send billions to Israel.

    Let's be clear here.... Israel's the threat? ROTFLMAO!!!!



    I bet, if you were walking down the street and saw a little chihuahua getting attacked by a pack of pit bulls, you'd be cheering on the pit bulls!?! You know, that chihuahua just growled and provoked those big dogs surrounding it, right??!!! It's the pit bulls' right to protect themselves, right???!!!!

    That little pack of Jews, is such a threat to all these islamic nations... Yup, that's it...

    And you know the number of soldiers at each of these so-called "bases," right? And the type of equipment, armor, air power, etc. at each, right?

    The majority of these stars are in the two theaters of 'war' that, whether you like it or not, we are currently engaged in. So...

    Simply showing a map, with US Bases, does not prove any point. Unless you can show that each one of these bases are a "threat" to Iran, or anyone else, you have no point and no facts to support your ideology...

    Or, are you simply posting something that someone else wrote, because you don't have the intellectual significance to think for yourself?

    Since you decided to go off topic...To be clear it's not so much the pension, it's the nonfunding of them that bothers me. You know if I had my way pensions would be funded 100% from the start, there would be no worry about not getting what is due.

    Although I agree with the argument, it's not cool to bring mriddick's sons into the debate.

    What part of Iran chanting "Death to Israel, Death to America" don't you understand?
    I sold all my guns and ammo, now I live the quiet retired life.

    I mentioned two of my sons representing two of the stars on the map, so I did bring them up first. Although I did that because I am proud of them, I do not think that was 10-32's or warts idea but to be fair I will admit to mentioning my sons first...

    I can certainly agree with this. Sorry if I was out of line using your sons to illustrate my point.
