Iran Attempts Bombing Raid on America Which Would Have Killed Dozens in Washington DC

[jordan179]

Yesterday we learned that Iranian agents plotted to bomb a crowded Washington, DC restaurant at lunchtime, in an incredibly-bloodthirsty plot to murder the Saudi ambassador to the United States of America. This attempt, if backed or even sheltered by the Iranian government, is of course an act of war against both America and Saudi Arabia, and (

Augh!

This must have been an act of war. It's not like there aren't a hundred easier ways to kill an ambassador with nil risk of collateral damage. Nor is it like the Saudis don't have other ambassadors in other countries. This was a chance for them to kill US citizens "innocently".

When I think about the prospect of invading Iran, the only thing I feel is annoyance. I certainly see no reason for concern. It took us about two months to eradicate the fourth largest military force in the world...twice. We can sweep Iran in six weeks.

The REAL challenge will be finding the manpower to keep Iran under occupation. We're stretched beyond the breaking point as it is. And if Congress abolishes the military's pension, like they're talking about, we'll lose our Reserve forces almost completely, along with about half of the troops we have available for that occupation

And you get your sources from the propaganda arm of various monarchies.

The Iranian use of "human wave" attacks, including the formation of units of underaged volunteers to charge into minefields ahead of the real troops, is sober military history. They're hardly the first totalitarian regime to do things like this, either.

gee Jordan. you and I must have the same sources =D

But wait, as Sting said of another country, don't "the Iranians love their children too?" Oh no, wait, obviously not as much as they love jihad ...

(the truth is worse. The Iranians love their own children just fine -- the children who were sent out to serve as human minesweepers weren't the children of the Iranians who made the decision to authorize and allow such units).

The Yemeni rebels aren't uniform. Some of them are only out for their tribe's best interest which is to suppress other tribes. Yes, some are for a secular modern state but not all of them are. And YES some of them are AQAP.

Yep, yama gets his sources from CAIR.

And aren't we lucky that the Israelis made sure that Iran isn't GETTING nukes? GO ISRAEL.

Well, a comment he made below makes it clear he hates the Saudi people. He is all for an atomic bomb being dropped on Riyadh, killing innocent people who probably were actively working hard towards reform. He probably inadvertently killed the Saudi Martin Luther King, Jr. by wishing such an attack. But it is clear he has no problems with huge body counts if it involves people loosely associated ethnicities he considers evil

[jordan179]

Well, it's not as if someone atom-bombed somewhere important people lived. Like Marshfield, MA.

[cutelildrow]

I'll settle for Israel not being bombed, myself.

What I don't get is that Yama clearly seems to think Iran will help the Arab people when Iranians aren't Arab and they are actually disliked because of that. There was a study that showed that many Arabs, especially in non-Shia/secular communities do not trust Iran and see them as meddling in their affairs.

But then again, Yama seems to think that the Arab people are so idiotic, that only NON-ARAB powers can save them like Iran. It isn't the first time he has shown such bigotry.

I really wonder why Yama sympathizes so much with Iran. Maybe he is praying for the 12th Imam to reappear.

Au contraire. I think the Arabs will be the one to save Iran. I'm not wishing Iran anything better than a phyrric victory, a destroyed Saudi Arabia and an Iran weak enough for revolutionaries to deliver the killing blow.

[oronoda]

You are writing that on the assumption that they're organized. Iran will collapse within itself soon enough. Iranians save the Iranians and the Arabs will save the Arabs. It is that simple

[ext_531464]

The Saudi nobility might waste centuries pondering reform, but everyone else, I fear, can not. The only thing that will help the people of Saudi Arabia is revolution.

And Saudi Arabia not meddling in others' affairs? 170,000,000 Pakistanis disagree with you.

[oronoda]

Hmm... that is what the Egyptians said. And now there were religious clashes over the weekend and still a threat of violence to break out. The same would happen in Saudi except it would be worse. There are many movements within Saudi Arabia that the country has actually taken under consideration and have learned from their neighbors how to deal with it. A violent revolution does not solve problems. Rather it just creates new ones. You dispose of the King and everyone plays King of the Hill as war breaks out for the rulers

[ext_531464]

The Saudis want Pakistan as a dictatorship. That's hardly friendly.

Maybe their governments want friendly relations, but governments never speak for their people, they only pretend to.
