Clearly, we have no way to defend ourselves with so few military protections in place.
Who here thinks we’ll be at war with Iran before the next election? If so, who thinks this won’t be politically motivated? If so, who wants to buy this machine I built that turns politician’s hot air into gold?
Each star marks a US military base, but just so we’re all clear: Iran is threatening the US.

I think we are already at war with Iran. If only covertly, at this point.
That plant didn’t blow itself up.

I was under the impression that we were already at war with Iran…
Yup. They declared war on us a long time ago in public and they’ve never undeclared it so your question is few years late.
August 19, 1953
We started it.

By “you” I meant Uncle Dave.
“Who here thinks we’ll be at war with Iran before the next election?” – experimental proof with downed drone that Obama refused to destroy speaks of PC driven coward in chief. Despite all the military ability he behaves as if in charge of Army of Iceland (no offense meant to Iceland or its Army). Hence 100% no war with Iran before elections, even if they openly start it on their own.
“…who thinks this won’t be politically motivated?” – depending on next President we indeed may end up in war with Iran. Of course for political AND World domination reasons. Where we may differ in viewpoint is that if such war would be waged with clear intent to win and win fast (with no PC or UN guidelines involved) – World may end up way better place for prolonged period. Example of war US have not executed since WWII in Japan but would have such ending at relatively low cost: nuke every large city in Iran, every nuclear facility and every military complex large enough. Use conventional weaponry to destroy every significant piece of infrastructure (bridges, dams, crucial railroad points, refineries and electric/water grid). Demand unconditional surrender and avoid the only Japan-related mistake: make mullahs hang, with short out of sight “trial” in military court for terrorism. Do not try to help them rebuild or form any “new society”, just stay out.
Than see middle East and Pakistan bend over to kiss US foot.
As they say, “keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.”
This map is not right; I know Camp Doha closed seven years ago…
It’s “kind of” closed, but majority of personal are gone. Kind of light housekeeping duty I guess.
No problem. Just close those bases.
Went to a-France, looking for finance
To bomb bomb Iran, ’cause I thought I’d take a chance
Bomb Ira-a-an, bomb bomb-bomb Ira-a-an
You got me rockin’ and a rollin’
Rockin’ and a reelin’ bomb Iran
Bomb bomb, bomb-bomb Iran
(Beach Boys)
Bomb those suckers. And while you’re at it, drop some in venezuela too
Before Jan. 1.
Irrelevant thesis fallacy, microscopic bacteria etc can bring down our much larger bodies…the threat not dependent upon size.
One nuke in Uncle Dave’s ass would cause catastrophic damage to the city he lives in, even if the loss of Uncle Dave might be beneficial to the greater community.
One nuke in the hair follicle of the hairy flea on his ass would cause catastrophic damage to the city Taxed Enough lives in.
Fantasy is fun, carry on.

You really are just a ray of sunshine, aren’t you?
Weren’t the people at this site predicting war with Iran 4 years ago and more?
War is a racket.
For detailed explanation please google for General Smedley Butler and read his 5 chapter free book. Then please read the book War is a Racket.
Know ye for now simply the definition of the word:
Traditionally, the word racket is used to describe a business (or syndicate) that is based on the example of the protection racket and indicates a belief that it is engaged in the sale of a solution to a problem that the institution itself creates or perpetuates, with the specific intent to engender continual patronage.

This is fundamentally moronic. Take the U.S. completely out of that picture, and Iran is still “threatening” all of its neighboring territory. So… Duh! And the fact that we have political and even EXISTENTIAL (oil) interest in the neighboring territories is so old and boring I don’t know what to say. Yes, the location of those bases are “convenient” for a “purpose” (ooh! scary!). But are also clearly the consequence of a long and tried/tired dialog/quasi-dialog with Iran. One, in which, if they wanted a different outcome, EASILY could have had it. That being said, if Obama invades Iraq, you will have, in fact, proved me wrong. I’m telling you, he’s not going to unless Iran does something completely and unambiguously insane.
Yeah, war is a racket and long live the voice of Smedley, but conspiracy bruhaha is tawdry and otherwise ridiculous.
Gee, I thought Obama was gonna fix this by sitting down & talking with Ahmedinahnut.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Iran sure has superior, beach front property to protect the American sheeple oil tit.
I would tell the sheeple that the oil tit is threatened. Therefore, the cost of protecting it will be added to the price of a barrel of oil. Then, we’ll see all electric cars take off.
We know you like oil & specially the beach but stop demeaning yourself by calling yourself sheeple. That’s for us to do.
They can win.
We are totally over-confident.
Iran is threatening its neighbors… ha. The one country in the area that has had relatively stable borders for the last few hundred years.
More like the reverse, a careful read of newspapers over the years tends to reveal subtle details like pick an Arab country and they will have negative views toward the Persian country.
Interesting footnote… the Saudis are the loudest critics of Iran. The Saudis threw the most money into Afghanistan via Pakistan.
The Iranians were funding the Northern Alliance who was opposed to the Taliban, which was established with Pakistan’s support. According to the US government, it was bin Laden’s group which was sheltered by the Taliban.
Iran is a lone Shia state surrounded by hostile Sunni states. If anything, Iran’s biggest worry is them, not Israel.
Rick Iraq is a Shia state where Sunnis/Baathists ruled over the majority.
And thus the wars between Iraq & Iran. The lather trying to gain power for the Shiite “freedom & glory”.
I doubt that Rick and the other middle east “experts” would be enlighten by your words, but I guess it’s worth a try.
Thanks again for showing that misinformed people is more dangerous than bad people
Saddam Hussein was of the Tikriti tribe. Iraq is a very tribal state, and he made sure the Tikritis ran every iraqi ministry when he took power.
The shia despite being about 70% of iraqis had little if any real power.
The fall of the Shah and the rise of the Ayatollah who returned to Iran from his exile in France concerned Saddam so he decided on a military solution to depose the weak and disorganized Iran, fresh from revolution.
It was unexpected that the Iranians would fight back so hard, and with superior American weapons and just enough iranians coming back to fight despite their lack of support for the islamic regime, Iran was able to fight Iraq to a stalemate.
Israel was very concerned that Saddam may win, so they sent Iran 125,000 Fn-FAL assault rifles, and later became the pipeline for the Reagan export (illegal) of Advanced Hawks, F-14 parts, and TOW missiles sold to Iran.
Of course I’m not an expert on the matter, what do I know eh?
