Iran sending warships close to US borders[W:623]

Re: Iran sending warships close to US borders

the nazi party and nazi government had physical representations, and we Defeated those in world war 2 when berlin fell to the allied armies and Hitler ended his evil reign with a bullet to his temple.

Terrorism is a broad thing and takes many forms. Timothy mcveigh was a terrorist, the Unabomber was a terrorist, the Ku Klux klan was a terrorist organization. Al qeada is a terrorist organization.

terrorism is just the practice of inflicting terror to accomplish a goal.

Please, tell me you're smarter than that.
 
Re: Iran sending warships close to US borders

Building a terrorist army, then killing servicemen of a nation's army, is an act of war, sir.

1. They weren't part of the Iranian army.
2. It happened three years ago, our interests in Iraq now align with those of Iran (to some degree).
3. We are not at war with Iran.
 
Re: Iran sending warships close to US borders

Oh, you can take that "you weren't in the military; therefore you're not qualified to comment" attitude and march that **** off the shortest pier you can find.

What unit were you in?

You can spin it how you want, but it's an act of war.

Ever wonder why we didn't arm the mujas in AF with American weapons?

Why does it matter? Are those who did not serve in the military persona non grata when it comes to foreign policy discussions? That's a pretty chicken**** way to try to run people out of a discussion after they've thoroughly eviscerated you because you can't argue with anything other than "KILL KILL KILL."
 
Re: Iran sending warships close to US borders

So why should we blow up these ships again?

No, what's chicken****, is calling me an armchair warrior, without knowing a damn thing about me.

Are you active duty? Can you be called up to active duty? If not, then armchair warrior is exactly what you're being. You're advocating a pre-emptive strike in international waters that would surely start a hot war.

Thank you for proving my point. GREAT job, as usual!

See how your argument is no different than, "what unit were you in"? You advocate inaction and cowardice, yet you can't justify them.

In this case, "inaction" and "cowardice" are not synonyms. What, exactly, is Iran supposedly doing in this instance that you are advocating an act of war in response to?

They're sending out a probing force to test our reaction their vessels operating in close proximity to our borders.

You would feel awfully silly, if on the third, or fourth cruise, they sent a vessel up with a nuke onboard floating into Chesapeake Bay.
 
Re: Iran sending warships close to US borders

It's true isn't it?

Its how diplomacy and foreign policy sometimes work. The fact is, at the time the best way to marginalize Iran was to support Iraq. Times change, and those events dont prevent the us from reserving the right to do as it see's fit.
 
Re: Iran sending warships close to US borders

"Let's blow up two boats of a country whose military is over fifty years behind us."
"Let's not and say we did."
"Coward!"

This is a goofy thread.
 
Re: Iran sending warships close to US borders

What unit were you in? Oh, wait...you weren't in any unit. You've never been down range.

:lol:

I'll remember that next time you share your opinions relating to President Obama and the way he leads the Country. You've never been President of the United States either so using your logic you need to quiet down.

Just one little problem with that scenario: Iran's leadership isn't suicidal.
 
Re: Iran sending warships close to US borders

It's time to sell/give Israel the proper equipment and a green light to engage Iran.

You're not even a citizen of The United States, so YOU quiet down.

If you hate the US, its easy enough to justify.

No one said they were. However, national leaders have done stupid **** many times in the past. The Iranians aren't immune from it.

After Obama's disgraceful conduct with Syria, they may be betting that he won't retaliate. A safe bet, judging by past performance.
