Doesn't matter what war they have been in...

What matters is the fact that if there are groups inside of Iran funding and/or contributing to our lengthier stay in Iraq, then we will have to find a solution to the problem. This solution will probably end up being a military one, seen as how Iran doesn't seem to care...

What other wars has Iran been involved in. Other than helping the US get rid of the Taleban from Afghanistan.
Your so full of crap it is not funny.

This USArmy Bitch will tell you that the US is already at war with Iran. They have been actively involved with the killing of my fellow soldiers.

They have been behind the killing acts of terrorists since the Ayatollahs took over.

Poor Iran is just defending itself MY ASS.

Sounds like a real Mickey Mouse operation in progress to me.

At least Disley provides some little balance to the deep thinking of the "nuke 'em back to the Stone Age" crowd. Most of whom wouldn't know a history book if it hit 'em upside the head.

His last comments were a historical distortion. Unless you are telling me he was beside many of my units people when they entered Afghanistan. Iran was not helping but actively opposing them.

Iran to this day harbors Taliban and Al-Queda. Iran arms terrorists. Now who is playing games with the truth here?

Take the time to study the Iraq-Iran war, particularly how Iran came about to fight Iraq to a standstill. It might just wake you up to the mentality of the leadership there. Maybe.

Don't bother calling me stupid like you did my husband. We both are 20 year veterans of the USArmy. Both Officers, Both Iraq war vets.

I don't wish to "nuke 'em back to the stone age". ( I don't want to be labeled into that crowd) Situations can be dealt with either diplomatically, or as shown in Iraq, militarily... For Iran's sake they better understand the U.S. means business. We may be strapped with boots on the ground, but we sure have a lot of air power to go around..

I am willing to bet that on 9/11, 95 percent of the people in the U.S thought or wanted to "nuke" the entire middle east. Funny how in the span of only seven years it seems so many people have forgotten what this new war is really about. Fundamental groups are all over the world!

Same here, keymaker...
Hell, I watched the second plane hit on cnn...

I wouldve given anything to strap into a B2, and bomb the hell out of Tehran and Bagdad.


These days we need to pull out bretheren out of there. I wouldn't give a bucket of piss for any arabs future.... let alone a priceless life of a fellow serviceman.

I am very surprised at how few Americans know our plan to neutralize Iran. It does not involve invasion at all.

The Iranians have been told.

It is not classified.

Anyone here know?

I'm not calling you stupid. But perhaps you might read my post. I wrote that "at least Disley provides some balance . . ." And I stand by that. I have also often commented when he makes absolutely ludicrous statements. It's just that we have so many more neo-con Kool-Aid drinkers here than we do Disleys.

And I will also add that many here who served in the military seem all to willing to believe in the geopolitical and stategic decisions made by fuck-ups (Rumsfeld) and draft-dodgers (Bush and Cheney) with no background in, or knowledge of, the aforementioned areas. Where is your military allegiance to the many knowledgeable officers who stood up to these jackasses?

Also note that the above has absolutely NOTHING to do with your experiences on the ground. As many have pointed out -- a tactic is not a strategy.

Thank you for your service.
