Americas biggest proble is they won confront Iran.They lack the will to win their pride is broken & power is spent in vain.

Iran is the worlds biggest Terrorist group.
They want israel wiped out
they will soon have nuclear weapons
they are rallying the muslim world
They are causing the world oil problems.
They atarted a war with isreal(they were behind everything hezzalobah did)

People we never learn this threat iran is the same hitler was in the 1930's no one will confron them Prime minister chamberlin fought he could negotiate with hitler you CANT cHURCHILL SHGOWED US YOU MUST STAND & FIGHT OR THEY KILL YOU.

Bush said a couple of weeks Iran & Syria play a vital role in the middle east what a load of bullshit.

America just lacks the WILL TO CONFRONT IRAN, you cannot negotiate with these people.

It will take the powerblock from Europe to take iran out, they will show America how to deal with theses people.
But Germany will keep going.

Iran is a big country, almost 2x times the size of Iraq i guess. It would be quite expensive and Iran army althought is not super powerful, it isnt a piece of cake to defeat.

All crazy talk aside...

It is fucked up that we go to war with Iraq on false pretenses, but we won't go to war with a country with a nuclear weapons program who admittedly hates our ass.

There you have it. The US like everyone elso knows that Germany is really close to war with Iran, Syria and most likely China as well. There's no need for the US to start a war.

i don't know, i'm pretty glad we haven't gone to war with north korea or iran. i don't understand the need for the second part of the sentence i guess, unless you're ready to advocate war with any country who has a nuclear weapons program and hate the US?

I'm not advocating going to war with anyone. There really wasn't a need for the second part of that sentence, other than to show the obvious hypocrisy that is the War in Iraq.

What, may I ask, was hypocritical about the War in Iraq?

Well, you'd have to believe the people who perpetrated Iraq don't actually want to go to war with Iran. A great deal of them do. I just don't buy the hypocrisy argument. They're liars and in general awful people, but they've been consistent throughout the last decade or so.

So you think they (our government) want to go to war with Iran and North Korea, too? We just havn't done it, yet?

Government? Probably not, at least as a whole. Then again, many in the government didn't really want to go into Iraq either. Remember Hillary Clinton obfuscating on and on about voting for the war resolution to give Bush the backing he needed for "diplomacy?" That debate was a surreal time.

Now, the main guys who pushed it, the Project for a New American Century folks like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, etc. probably do. There is undoubtedly a debate within this administration about whether we should go to war with Iran.

Romanian oil rig comes under Iranian fire

By ALISON MUTLER
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
Tuesday, August 22, 2006


BUCHAREST, Romania -- A Romanian oil rig off the coast of Iran came under fire Tuesday from an Iranian military warship and was later occupied by Iranian troops, a company spokesman said.

The Iranians first fired into the air and then fired at the Orizont rig, said GSP spokesman Radu Petrescu. Half an hour later, troops from the ship boarded and occupied the rig and the company lost contact with the 26 crew members shortly afterward.

Petrescu said he had no information about any injuries or deaths. The Orizont rig has been moored near Kish island in the Persian Gulf since October 2005, he told the Associated Press.

Eugen Chira, the political consul at the Romanian Embassy in Tehran, confirmed the incident, but provided few details. "Some forces opened fire. That an incident has happened is true. We have no details or the reason yet," he said.

GSP, also known as the Oil Services Group, is a private Romanian company established in 2004 which operates six offshore rigs that it bought from Romania's largest oil company, Petrom.

Two of its rigs are operating near the Iranian coast in the Persian Gulf as part of a deal signed between Petrom, GSP and Dubai-based Oriental Oil Co.

The Romanian company was in Iranian courts earlier this year over a dispute involving another one of its oil rigs, Fortuna, the financial weekly Saptamana Financiara has reported. It was unclear whether Tuesday's incident was related to legal issues.

The Orizont rig was built in 1987 and weighs 13,000 tons.

Kish, in the southern end of the Persian Gulf, houses the offices of about 100 Iranian and foreign oil companies.
