The rules are.. "Stop your Nuclear Programme" They haven't played along.

Under that pretext, Iran has EVERY RIGHT to immediately attack Israel and any US forces in the region as a pre-emptive strike to protect themselves from the possible US / Israeli attack on Iran.
Of course all of that is crap and this has little to do with nuclear energy and we all know it. some of us are just willing to admit it.

I'm in the Marines and I see tactical mobilization in the guise of a joint training exercise, just like Iran's timely naval "war games"

Some of us have been war deployed and some of us have been on exercises and some of us have done both. Speaking from both my experience in the Army AND from basic truth .. this is NOT a war deployment. It's an exercise and a flexing of muscles and a positioning of assets while flexing ... but it's NOT what is considered a war deployment. That's totally different.edit on 1/5/2012 by FlyersFan because: (no reason given)
