i used to think that in the end, people have to be defeated in the battlefield to be put in their place


Your army lost in Kargil and was put in it`s rightful place as the rulers of Pakiland....

.....one has to be amazed at the actions of george bush.......he just got his balls handed to him in iraq.......and now he is thinking of attacking iran.......i suppose stupidity knows no bounds.......there will always be a % of americans who will support him......i used to think that in the end, people have to be defeated in the battlefield to be put in their place......george bush and his policymakers seem to break that theory.......the usa has been defeated in iraq, but is still looking to attack other countries.......quite amazing!!

.....state terrorism knows no bounds........

.......iran will be a much tougher nut to crack than iraq......it is more than three times the size in terms of population and geography.......it has a standing military, which has fought quite a few battles.........it is a cohesive society with a long history and an elected govt......and most of all it can attack the gulf areas......all iran has to do is to start bombing the entrance to the persian gulf........the price of oil will go up to $100/barrel, and americans will themselves say uncle........in the process, countries like pakistan will be heavily affected as they will have to pay higher prices for oil.......

....i think somewhere along the line, there will be some information discovered which will indicate that bush was lying all along..i.e. he sent in american soldiers and got them killed, knowing fully well there were no wmds in iraq........it will be a huge scandal........

anyways, in this fight, as in iraq and lebanon, i am on the side of the maulvis........i have to say, when it comes to battling superpowers-gone-mad no one does it better than the maulvis.........nasrullah nearly collapsed olmert`s govt.......sadr has collapsed bush`s govt........and i have a feeling the iran maulvis will only collapse it further..........

jazak-allah......

.... i, for one, am willing to pay with my tax dollars for regime change in tehran - i would be happy to pay an extra 1% this april 15th if we can get rid of the ayatollahs and other bearded vermin that threaten civilization ......... i am also willing to chip in another 0.5% for more troops in iraq and another 0.5% for regime change in riyadh ......... so what is the total ?... 2% ? ....... that`s it - that is all i am willing to pay for now and i think it is enough to get the job done if the american people have the will to stick with it ........... if we don`t do it now, we will have to do it later

The evacuation of Americans from Iraq, inevitably means the evacuation from the whole middle east - there is no other way around it. If any one thinks that Americans would safely retreat from Iraq, sit in neighboring Gulf countries and control the region through remote control, then he must live in fools paradise. Americans have perpetrated a genocide in Iraq causing the death of three quarter of a million human beings, a lot of sacrifices have been made by the people of Iraq and thinking that they would not come chasing americans down is plain naive.

The powers that be in Us, that is, the invisible power elite know this very well. So the failure of the ``non-binding`` bill on Iraq in the houses with Democart majority is the evidence, who controls this country. This is the gukking oldest trick in the history of parliaments - pass the bill through lower house, and fail it in upper house. This obsolves Democrates of their election promises and give them a fig leaf. Message to their constituents ` Oh we wanted to fulfill our campaign promises but democarcy got in the way``. What lagangaybazi?

Iran is just stretching it, gaining time for another 6 months or so before baby bush becomes a complete lame duck. Then they`ll forge ahead with their programme. There`s absolutely no chance of an Iran war. The americans don`t have a stomach for it after Iraq.

good article ..

you have to hand it to these neocon madarchods..what they lack in intelligence, they make up in cojones...these fuckers, instead of disappearing under a rock after iraq, are now pushing for a war with iran...

unfortunately, war is inevitable....the american public supports easy wars and the politicians are always too eager to give the people what they want......especially the kind of war they have planned for iran..the nintendo war..aerial bombing with good JDAM footage that makes CNN ``breaking news``..you`ll be surprised how much hitlery and the GOP nominee try to outdo each other call for war...dems and gop are peas in a pod..they`re all for war that looks good on CNN....an easy war makes them look ``strong on security``..whatever that means(and if i hear it out of joe LIEberman`s mouth, i`ll puke..)...

All this is a high tension propaganda war nothing else. Intense pressure was brought on North Koreans and one say there was success. US is trying the same here too.

But it is reasonable to assume that a WMD in the hands of a repressive and undemocratic state, be it N.Korea, Iran or Pakistan- is always worrysome.

``The Iranians are coming`` -- ``the Iranians are coming`` -- the liar boy from crawford texas who cried wolf one too many times.
