Iran to close Strait of Hormuz

[ABikerSailor]

Ya know.......most experts CURRENTLY state that Iran is around 10 years away from having the technology to build a nuke.

Then, combine that with the FACT that they currently have no long range missiles, I don't really see what the big fuss is about.

Iran isn't going to start a war, because we'd kick their asses even worse than we did Iraq in Desert Storm back in the early 90's.

unfortunately, the war is imminent.

Obama wants to be reelected. He needs to impress AIPAC and the zionist lobby.

The reason Obama removed the troops from Iraq so quickly is to prevent Iran from retaliating against the 150,000 troops which were stationed there.

Withdrawal of US Troops From Iraq Highly Suspect

Possible Scenarios

The US is at least peddling the illusion it is clearing out its holdings in Iraq, leaving a symbolic force for a reason – a reason that has to do with a final gambit to be played against Iran, the last domino to fall in the US-contrived “Arab Spring.” These are two possible scenarios:

1. Leave a small symbolic force for the Iranians to attack in Iraq after a “unilateral” Israeli airstrike. Whatever Iran decides to do, it may not be able to do sustainably, but will do viciously in the opening phases. By leaving a symbolic force in Iraq, the US can garner the necessary sympathy and anger politically at home to launch a wider operation against Iran in “retaliation.”

2. Feign as if the US is disengaging from the Middle East so when a false flag terror attack or other provocation is perpetrated against the US, it will look like an egregious act of war by Iran. While a shrinking US presence in the Middle East would logically engender even more patience in Tehran, the script writers of the latest DEA-Saudi bomb plot took special care to ensure the “Iran has become bolder” talking-point made it repetitively on air and into the minds of unsuspecting Americans.

This is more than mere idle speculation. In the Brookings Institution report, “Which Path to Persia?” nearly all but the most extreme measures proposed in the report have been executed. The only options left on the table unused include a unilateral Israeli airstrike designed to provoke a significant retaliation thus bringing the US into war with Iran and a variety of options to provoke a full-scale invasion."

No, they were saying that 6 years ago. And Iran is very actively working on developing longer and longer range missiles. Ignoring it won't make it go away, Neville.

If we were to reelect a weak leader who they are confident wouldn't have the gumption to fully engage in war, they could pound their chest, humiliate the great satan, and solidify their position of dominance in the region. The 'stronger' they appear, the further Russia and China will stick their tongues down Tehran's throat and the closer they come to a hugely symbolic attack on Israel that would make them the big boss of the Muslim world for 50 years at least.

But no, no, it's ok, just ignore it. It's not like the next logical step after that would be...nah, it's ok...
