The Inevitable War With Iran
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
************************************
A war with Iran is “a given.” It is as some say: “a “fait accompli.” Just exactly who the combatant nations will be remains to be seen, however. My crystal ball is a bit cloudy in that area of prophecy.
We are fairly sure Israel will be one of the combatants and even though the US protests that it does not want a fight with Iran, I don’t see how it can be avoided. Even if the current US Presidential Administration will not assist Israel in a war with Iran the Obama Regime WILL assist Saudi Arabia!
We never seem to learn, here in the “good ole USA.” We still insist on getting more people killed on both sides of a conflict than is necessary to settle the dispute. That is especially true when we have the misfortune to have a liberal/socialist/communist/progressive in the White House and those with the same political philosophy control the national legislature.
“How is that?” you may ask.
Well, those of the President’s political persuasion believe they are smarter than anyone else on the planet and this self-deception leads them to be made fools of EVERY SINGLE TIME! They simply cannot accept that ANYONE is smart enough to deceive them… ever. And therein lies their Achilles Heel. Our enemies simply use political jujitsu on liberal American politicians and “statesmen” and they “roll” our guys every time.
To tell you the truth, folks, it is downright embarrassing!

President Teddy Roosevelt set the gold standard for dealing with that part of the world back in 1904. When Mulai Ahmed er Raisuli, the commander of a band of Berber insurrectionists, kidnapped a middle-aged American man and his stepson, who, by the way, were not harmed, Teddy issued a statement and sent a copy of it to Raisuli which said: "Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead!" – and sent an invading force of US Marines to back it up. The hostages were released unharmed. Even then the “diplomats”, the “statesmen” were advising Teddy not to do that. They, as today, wanted to talk to Raisuli.
Today we have two wars raging in the Middle East and a third country, Iran, doing everything they can to bait the US and Israel into war.
Now, here’s the thing: IRAN REALLY DOES WANT WAR! They long for the return of the Third Immam. But their belief insists upon great devestation in the world before the Third Immam will return. Their national leadership is dedicated to this and they will continue their drive to create a nuclear bomb some are already calling the “Islam Bomb.” They are rapidly developing missiles capable of striking Israel, some of the eastern European countries and, of course, US military bases in the region. The minute they have the bomb, have it strapped to one of those missiles, they WILL fire it at Israel. There is absolutely no question about that. If thay have more than one, the second will be targeted at US military bases around Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Saudis are scared witless of the Iranians. US politicians believe we need the Saudi oil so we have, whether we admit it publicly, or not, agreed to help protect Saudi Araba from an attack by Iran.
The US is INSISTING upon talking with Iran. The ego of our “Dear Leader” is of such imensity that he appears to actually believe that no one can resist his oratorical charm and once he vibrates his Golden Tonsils in the direction of the Iranians they will immediately fall into line and no war will ensue. There is only one thing wrong with that. And that is -- it won’t work. The President will only come off lookimg foolish, amatuerish, and as weak as he actually is.
In the meantime, while the diplomats jaw-jaw, the Iranians will be building up their strength and, unfortunately, getting that Islam Bomb ready to drop in on Israel. As a result of all the foot dragging on the part of the Obama Regime, when the killing begins lots and lots more Israelis will be killed than was necessary, and an infuriated Israel will, very likely, nuke the living daylights out of Iran from one end of the country to the other. The blame for the deaths of those Israelis will rightfully be laid at the door to the Obama Oval Office.
A single warning to the Iranian governemt sould be sufficient. At the same time (as Teddy Roosevelt did) send every available warship in the US Navy’s fleet(s) to stand off shore of Iran, lob a few cruise missiles into Iran -- to get their attention -- and assure them we DO mean business.
Yes, the US State Department would probably have apoplexy and a few of the “striped pants crowd” would most likely swoon from massive anxiety attacks.
If Iran persists, after the unmistakable warning from the US, then tactical nukes should be used on their nuclear facilities and a few of their government buildings including their command and control centers.
Then go silent.
Not a word.
Not one word should be spoken to Iran.
Of course, there will be caterwauling from the limp-wrists at the UN and certain European countries. They should be brushed off without a single word from the US in reply.
If Iran persists after the warning… then send in the stealth bombers and wreak havoc in their Persian Paradise and repeat as often as necessary. When Iran finally pleads for talks, ignore them. No reply should be our reply. One of the most effective ways to “contain an enemy” is to keep him “hunkered down” in bunkers.
Now I’m not foolish enough to believe the Obama Regime will do any of this. No, they are committed to making fools of themselves and embarrassing the rest of us… and in the end, as we said above, a lot more lives wil be lost in Israel AND in Iran. A President afflcted with an uncontrolable ego and suffering from narsicissim and a good dose of grandiosity can be a real danger to peace. And, like a bull in a china shop, he can do a lot of damage.

You are a fool. I million armed militia next to our forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and you are talking about air raids.
All the troubles in Iraq was from 10,000 armed sunni insurgants, go an figure what 1 million armed militia can do to our men and women in uniformed.
By they way it is 12th imam not 3de imam. With friends like you who needs enemies.
???
He is talking about dropping nukes behnaz! Hardly your typical “air raid.” I agree! Drop nukes and wipe out their military. Don’t put more boots on the ground to get mowed down!
If wanting to kill the enemy without putting our own soldiers in harms way is “foolish” then I be a fool.
Actually I think you are the fool.
Iran regime is under great pressure. Soon they will come to table and give away the bomb, if they can keep how to knowledge and enrichment.
This will satisfy Iran and US. Iran can take out Israel off the map with conventional weapons. Iran does not need nukes against Israel.
Israel own nukes when targeted by conventional weapons will do the job for them.
Israel does not have the balls to attack Iran, even if Israel uses nukes. Conventional weapons that Iran has will wipe Israel off the map.
I suggest you go after a solution that best protect American interests and not Israel, because right now Israel is losing international support and even in Europe they are been charged with war crimes against humanity.
Do we really want to protect Israelis interest at this point?
Pudgy,
Look, Saddam did not armed his people. He had a Russian style army with central command build to fight another army.
Iran’s army was trained by USA and the regime in Iran has distributed around 1 million weapons in the hand of basij, a voluntary militia.
Iran has long boarders with Iraq and Afghanistan. About 500 miles.
As long as US has armies in Iraq and Afghanistan they will be in harms way.
These people will not stay in bunkers they will go to Iraq and Afghanistan to retaliate.
Even half of these people reach destination and for each ten of them one American solder get killed, we are taking about 50,000 American casualties.
My point it is better to give something in return to Iranian. We can sell more weapons to Arabs if Iran seems powerful. It is to our benefit.
Arabs hate Iran and vice versa. 90% of Arab regimes are our customers. It is good for business that Iran gets limited power.
???
So by the looks of things I think we can say you have abandoned your original and foolish critique of the author? I see you did not rebuke my correction of your mischaracterization of his comments.
You know behnaz, we’ve been waiting for the better part of two decades for the internal pressures of Iran to bear some fruit. The sad state of affairs is that unlike countries like the U.S. the government of IRan has such an iron grip over its people that every time they attempt to revolt they are put down. We keep hearing, “wait” from people who expect the Iranian people to cast off their bonds but they cannot because they cannot confront a fanatical government that controls ALL OF the weapons.
The leaders of Iran will die before they give up power. And they will not die unless someone with the power to kill them does so. It is obvious by your new remarks that you are anti-Israel. Just say that from the start next time and don’t beat around the bush. Israel is our ally. Sorry if that offends you. Israel is a great country in a sea of despotism and Muslim fanatics that want to wipe it away. If the United States will not stand up and side to side with such nations then the United States is not that great. Greatness requires doing what is right.
“I suggest you go after a solution that best protect American interests and not Israel, because right now Israel is losing international support and even in Europe they are been charged with war crimes against humanity.” – behnaz
Yeah, this is what I meant in my previous comment. Retards charge Israel with “war crimes” but they cannot condemn and stand up to terrorists who have been bombing them for decades. Ask me if I care what such idiots think!
