Kosher Dill to be exact.
You just HAD to specify "kosher" in case our Reptilian Khazar Zionist Overlords (tm) are reading, didn't you?
Kinda screwed the pooch throwing "ham" in there, though. Be watching for the black SUVs to come to take you out!

Being openly critical of Iran's over the top rhetoric is not supporting anything other than freedom of speech. If that's being pathetic in your myopic little world that speaks volumes
And being critical of the US war machine is no reason to be accused of anti-Americanism. Freedom of speech should not be restricted to just hating those who you don't understand, I think Americans are our closest cousins, yet I also believe something is inherently wrong with the mindframe of a lot (not all) of Americans.
And yes, the Uk has many, many faults - I won't call you or anyone else anit-Uk for pointing them out.
That's my point guys.
Have a good discussion, Slayer has just made me hungry.

Iran isn't stupid. So, I believe this is BS.
The mostest stupidiest thing Iran could do, would be to conduct a terror attack on U.S. soil.

The whole point of WAR is to TERRORIZE the enemy so much that they QUIT.

Doesn't matter. We can't call "dibs" on a base. Silly thing called SOFA (Status Of Forces Agreement) those bases no longer belong to us. All the toys no longer belong to us.
We are out. We've cleaned the carpets and collect our deposit.
We are not there anymore.
Period.
Wake up america.
you keep going to war with counties.
you will get attacks on amercan cities.
you are attacking other counties cities.
all those years of M.A.D. with Russia.
and now we can see it was a GOOD thing.
it was the only thing Stopping america
taking over the world.
We need Russia and China to say STOP!
america is a mad dog.

War in its truest sense revolves around physically removing the enemy's ability to fight, which is why they give soldiers guns and not bed sheets with holes cut in them.

Except the contingent of marines and army, we are mostly out of Iraq. Not Afghanistan.
And we tried to stay in Iraq. Bush set the timeline of 12 to be out, and Obama followed it. He tried to keep troops there, but the negotiations failed when the US demanded immunity for their soldiers.
And our last soldiers snuck out in the dead of night like thieves, they didnt exactly walk away with kids throwing flowers at their feet.
Stop being intellectually dishonest. Not that I think you can, beezzer.

Iraq did not agree to SOFA so we left.

Also, if you weren't there, then don't assume how we left. The drawdown started 18 months go.

Stop being so partisan and spiteful. Not that I think you can.

And how do you make the enemy quit by using your guns?
So once the killing starts, its not psychological anymore?
wow.

Did, or did not, our last troops leave in the middle of night in a covert action?

The psychological aspect is always present - key word always. War is not predominantly about terrorising an enemy into submission. For example, thousands of your soldiers being killed may be unsettling but a more pressing concern is that you are suddenly without thousands of soldiers with which to fight a war.

Did not.
The last convoy of US troops to leave Iraq has entered Kuwait, nearly nine years after the invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
The final column of about 100 armoured vehicles carrying 500 soldiers crossed the southern Iraqi desert overnight.
