Post of the Year!:thumb:

And there's a bunch of people like you.........they believe the same thing you do so they'll turn any war if it's not over in two weeks into "another Nam." Therefore, we shouldn't go to war anymore at all because when we do, even when things are going well and we are defeating the enemy, our soldier's efforts will be demeaned by these American traitors. You made my point for me.

Name one that was more of a threat? Name one with a history of mass-murder with weapons of mass destruction? Name one who had threatened war with us? Name one who shot at our planes? Name one who had invaded neighbors? Name one who had shot msisiles at Israel? Name one who it was proven had weapons of mass destruction and had proven they were crazy enough to use them?

IMO, that is all a tired song of Saddam being less than capable. How capable do you need to be to arm a terrorist with uranium?

I get tired of saying this, but since very few seem to possess the capacity to understand, I will repeat myself over and over and over. The countries of the middle east are like dominos, they have to be dealt with in succession. Iraq was/is vital. We now are able to surround Iran with significant ground forces on two sides, from Afghanistan and Iraq, not to mention with Naval forces in the Persian Gulf. Iraq also provides an avenue to Syria as well. I will post a visual aid, maybe that will help.

You always make mention of Iran as being one of the problems the US must deal with, but I have yet to see where you have explained how you wage a successful war against Iran without having the ground forces in place to do it. I'd like for you, or anyone, to explain how this would be done. I guess you're still waiting on John Kerry to tell you? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
