Potential Iranian Threat
Hey guys, the media is making it seem like there is a mounting threat coming from Iran, 14 Marines died when a 500 pound bomb exploded and flipped the multi-ton marine vehicle over. Investigators later found out that the bomb was of Iranian origins, for all you dumb shits that means that the Iranian government manufactured a bomb that killed 14 of our proudest and most few. Iran has been known to harbor, train and even fund terrorists. Do you think that Iran could be helping and powering the insurgency that is killing our troops in Iraq?? Do you think that they are exaggerating and pumping us with fear about the situation?? ARE YOU SCARED SHITLESS?!?!?

Saudi poses more of a threat than Iran.

If Iran is helping it would make sense. It would just be karma returning to the USA when we helped Iraq attack them. What goes around comes around they say. And it will in a big way because of the current war as well.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

A threat to the United States? I don't see how they could be. They have no long range weapons that could reach us. A threat to our troops and economic interests in the middle east: yes. But I have to add that we are a much bigger threat to the whole region.

I created a topic a couple months ago about Iran and it's situation that was inspired by a guest I saw on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The regime in Iran is more dangerous to us right now than Saddam was in 2002. The regime in Iran has known and credible connections to al-qaeda and Bin Laden. So why again did we invade Iraq?

I know we should have invaded the middle east but i might be wrong when i say that i think Iran is more powerful military-wise than Iraq was. Please correct me if im wrong.

Why should we have invaded the Middle East?

As to your question, I don't know. What I do know is Bush declared a war on terror and then he promptly invaded a nation that had no connections to terrorist groups, while we neglected other nations like Iran who did and do have ties with terrorist groups like al-qaeda.
