US fears defeat in Iran war

The same people that are saying Iran has called the United States bluff are the same kind of people that would be calling us warmongers if we had invaded them already. Personally I think a peaceful end will come of this. The U.N. Security Council might actually step up to the plate on this one.
Why is it that any non-American can say sh*t about the U.S., but when Americans respond we're a**holes? I know that some of what is said is going a little far, but if you don't want to hear it, don't bait people into saying it. Yes I am American. I enjoy it. I don't agree with everything my government does, but that is what happens in a democratic republic. I don't like monotheistic religion in any way shape or form, but I tolerate it as long as it and it's followers leave me alone. But it seems that followers of the muslim faith are starting to bug me. It's just the whole crazy minority and the no back-boned majority that gets me. If the christians in America get to the point of what some of the muslim controlled nations are right now, I think that I would have to kill myself. Or maybe a country run by Starbucks sippin' neo hippies. That is scarier than a war with Iran. Oh and one last thing, if any country were to use nuclear weapons on the United States they won't be waking a sleeping giant as Japan did. They will set in motion a juggernaut of death that won't stop.

Wow. All I can say is look at the source.


FarNews is located in Tehran. Hence it is bias.

No better then propaganda.

Ahmadenijad has ALREADY called the US bluff.

Oh House of Straw!

What is the US waiting on? Why have they not attacked by now?

Do any of you rabid American Nationalists have the answer?

What is the US waiting on?

Has not Ahmadenijad said to you "bring it on"? Echoing that monosyllabic pattern, of your Great Stuttering Leader?

Why the wait??

damn, something stinks around here...

oh, its this quote...lol

we will take you when and if we decide, not you. oh yea i forgot to mention, we don't hide behind women and children like you do.

yeah for flaming and trolls.


there won`t be a war in iran for one reason


oil


the usa attack iran , iran turns off the oil.

and either the usa comits to a full scale invasion of iran to get the oil (as teh country runs dry) or it has to back down.


there won`t be a war



now the judiofacists might start one is another matter.

I would feel sorry for iran if our trident II class subs started unleashing the multi-strike D-5 ballistic missles. I belive each sub carries 24 of them.

Somebody said here that nobody goes to war over flimsy reasons..
I whole heartedly agree!!
The trend today seems to be going to war for absolutely NO reason!!


Mehran.. can you provide some sources suggesting that China and/or Russia will
NOT allow an invasion of Iran? They may morally oppose it..
Hell the whole civilised world will!
But I doubt Russia and/or China will be willing to od anything more.
Infact only Russia HAS the ability to do something (flex a muscle etc.) in the region. China has no ability to project any kind of sufficient military power into the region as of now. Infact all of China's military is concentrated to the east coast and maybe a bit to the north.
I feel you guys will be on your own.. The Russians may help you with spares and so on, the Pakistanis may lend you some tactical knowhow, but I doubt anything more than that is going to happen.
My advice is take everything deep underground, don't congregate assets in one place too much and block those straits with as many mines you got..
It sure isn't going to be easy for the US if their cruise/ B-2 assaults don't bear much fruit.

Americans, I would ask of you, what do you think will be the repercussions of attacking Iran?

What do you see happening?

Iran has it's missiles aimed at the oil fields.

What will happen in America if a gallon of gas rises to 6 or 7 dollars?

What will be the response from Iran?

There is no malice in my heart for Americans.

Graphic artist is one of my talents. I fabricate most of them thru image manipulation of existing stock. Sometimes I start from scratch.

Thanks for the compliment....makes them worth posting.

And what will be the repercussions of sitting there, watching nuclear weapons fall into very dangerous hands, or even worse, by endorsing the policy of appeasement? These Iranian leaders who practice only intolerance and have little love and respect for others.

By that time, Iran will have its missiles aimed not at its oil field. You know where they will be aimed at.

US fears defeat in Iran war?? That's funny.

We are a nuclear nation. Iran is not. Even if they
get one or two, we have many more and we have the technology
to deliver it right to their front doorstep without losing a single
American in the process.

In the end - Iran would be wiped out and defeated.
We definately don't fear defeat in Iran.

We'd finally drill ANWR like we should have been all along.
We'd finally install alternative energy sources like we should
have been all along.

After a brief hiccup, we'd survive just fine.

oil ... the usa attack iran , iran turns off the oil.

So what? People said the same about Gulf War I.
America wouldn't attack because Saddam would light
up the oil fields and burn them all. We went in. He
blew them up. We put out the fires.

Iran turning off oil is an empty threat. It's meaningless.
It hurts them MUCH more than it hurts anyone else.
Their whole economy rests on that oil (and terrorism).

Antisemetic? hmmmmm?

How about Kim Jong Il?

Why no threats against DPRK?

Do you think Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld are very honest and upright people?

There is no "crisis", the Neocons have had their eye on Tehran ever since their puppet the Shah was removed.

Fear Iran? The US fears a draft. Who will fight this war? We got mucked up in Iraq, an elective war. The trillion spent could have been used on alternative energy sources, etc. heralding a truly high point for America. Instead, greed has once again blinded people and caused them to do insane things. And use nuclear weaponry? ""I know not with what weapons WWIII will be fought but WWIV wil be fought with sticks and stones." (Einstein)

Fear Iran? The US fears a draft. Who will fight this war?

No we do not, because we don't need one. One more thing, the US is not going to invade or nuke Iran, we will only attack it, big difference.

Strike nuclear power facilities ala Iraq 1981? Then what will happen geopolitically? I'm interested in your scenario.

War ... what is it good for? ....

There are many types of "warfare". You have policing actions, interventions, limited warfare, all out warfare and even, so called, peace keeping is a form of warfare.

The United States "lost" the "war" in Viet Nam not because it was incapable of winning but because they fought the wrong sort of war. The U.S. was restricted to the type of actions that it could take because of self-imposed, politically restraining rules of engagement. In Viet Nam, the tide turned very quickly once the U.S., under Nixon, began bombing Hanoi. The North Vietnamese returned to the peace talks with haste when they experienced a taste of "unrestricted warfare".

Such is the case in Iraq or, as in the case of warfare with Iran, it all depends on what kind of war the U.S. wages. I can clearly state that if the U.S. declared an all-out, unrestricted war against Iran or Iraq or Afghanistan or anywhere in the world, the U.S. would win. But, as we can all understand, an unrestricted war would be one that would have an enormous death toll among innocent civilians.

Look at Iraq, yes there are many civilians being killed but one would also have to understand that there would be a great many more innocents killed in an unrestricted warfare. All out war with the U.S., would be a fearsome thing to behold.

If the U.S. declared an all-out, unrestricted war with Iran, all that I can say is that the U.S. would win. To say otherwise would be ignorant.
