Up to the Minute Iranian War Discussion Thread

I have decided to create this thread to have one location to collect and share all information pertaining to the current looming Middle East Crisis. It will not just pertain to Iran but also to subjects which center around military threats and attacks from all sides of the debate.

Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Hezbollah, Syria, Iran and United States of America.

We will track and monitor the ongoing crisis and hopefully find some specialists in the field of Middle Eastern affairs help us evaluate the situation as it develops.

isn't that the point of having a Middle East Issues forum. however i understand you wanting to consolidate the massive amounts of posts i think this will just make it harder to get to new information due to how many arguments erupt on such threads you would have to sift through page after page of peoples opinions to get to the next new bit of information.

reply to post by danielhanson420

Just look at the bottom for new information.

Some people prefer to work with as much in one thread as possible. Others are the opposite. The stories are still posted separately as breaking news or in the ME forum.

do you mean your just using this thread to post the links to others if so i totally misunderstood the first time round i apologies

I remember from the year 2009 I watched a video on youtube about a talk of Iran and what these perties wanted to happen. I still am struggling to find the link. I know it still exist's because there are similar links, however I'm trying to find the link that has genuine Rothschild member speaking for his family that they blatanly don't give a two-shoes what play's out because they mentioned that they as well as Rockefeller's have paid-off both sides and which ever side wins regardless as they think they have everything under there control.

I'm pretty sure it was on Alex Jones talk host of a private recorded version and you will hear the genuine words come directly from the Powers To Be that they have a plan on Iran and are trying to start a world war 3 so that they can benefit from it through 'collateral damage', money-profiteering purposes through poverty and & disease and war.

One thing to add though my father always taught me that if we look back at how both first and second world war's happened was due to pissing off other nations around the world and fear-mongering into society so that the people turn on themselves and forget who they are and get angry and start the war's.

That's what the Power's To Be want us to do, so they can sit back, put their feet up and watch the show!

The PTB want 'World Domination'.

'Iranian War thread'

Shouldn't it be: 'The American killing project may expand it's horizons to yet another soverign nation'?

I guess there's not enough bandwidth for 'The American War Thread'!!

S&F

because this Iran war is doomed to happen
When .. ?? it might be a month away

do you know ..
The Dept of Defense war originaly named the Dept of War
the defense word sounds more appealing to the american people
its just a PR propaganda stunt that they changed the name
its the same thing with your statement..

finely, a one stop thread, BRAVO for your efforts and wisdom, no if we can just stay on topic, here is one thought why are we pulling out or Iraq? or is that just smoke and mirrors, let every one think we are, when in fact we won't.

Think about it, if we were to go to war would it not be to our advantage to have our force on two fronts one in the east in afgn the other in the west in Ir? Then we would need the draft, this is why there is this all of a sudden fear that we in the US are to "BIG", and we need to go a diet, like that will happen any time soon.

Personally this is how i see this being played out, we get out of Iraq, they get into a civil war we get back in, then North Korea stars a shooting match, Pakistan falls to the Taliban, Iran then says time to get Israel, we do not have the man power to fight 4 wars at the time, Obama sends up the white flag, and we now bow 5 times a day to the east. did i leave anything out?

Good idea, it will be easier to follow this never ending story.

U.S. Considers Push for U.N. Action in Syria

I am at the point now of just wishing they would get on with whatever they plan to do.
What are they waiting for? permission? implied consent?
What is it that is not in place?
I feel like i am missing something but i don't know what it is.
Are TPTB so spineless that they need another catalyzing event to kick things off?
Are they waiting for Iran to make the first move and so legitimize a strike?
Well good luck with that one if they are, can't see it happening myself.
My mind drifts back to the Bush/Cheney/Rice mantra of mushroom clouds over the US, would they use nuclear devices on home soil? yes i rather suspect they will, especially if it is an economically nonviable city like say Detroit.
No offense to any Detroit citizens, it is just the modus operandi of TPTB to rid itself of financial burdens whilst creating new markets a la 911.

so who thinks the attempt on Ahmadenijad was real, and who thinks it was just a fire cracker? Not sure what to believe there.

My theory is that if McCain would have been elected, we would have invaded Iran, and so they are waiting for another Republican neoconservative to come into office, I don't think Obama is a war president enough to wage a war on Iran. Just my opinion.
