The Truth Will Set You Free | November 12, 2007
Some sobering advice from a fellow blogger at reigngame.com:
Alright, I know 90% of you guys follow politics so you've undoubtably
read and/or heard about the current Iran situation. I'd like to
briefly talk about the figurative war with Iran. For the sake of
discussion, let's begin with the questionably optimistic assumption
that no major country would forcefully oppose (economically or
militarily) full-scale US military operations in Iran. Nevermind
Iran's 12% imports with Germany and 10% imports with China - I'm sure
Germany and China's economies don't want Iran's money anyway, right?
Nevermind the fact that Iran exports 2,836,000 barrels of oil per day
to various nations that depend on that oil.
We can all just ride bikes until the 2 month war is over! As to the
Iranians themselves, I'm sure they're just dying (no pun intended) to
be invaded, er, `liberated` by Americans, considering the `horrid` 70%
approval rating of Ahmadinejad and the `devastating` $8,700 gross
domestic product per capita (8.6% better than China). I'm sure we'll
be "welcomed in the streets" after we "shock and awe" all important
looking buildings to Jahannum and back.
With a little help from the boys at GFP, I did some exploring into the
military systems of America and Iran and what I found was
alarming . . .
2,369,239 US Soldiers vs 11,770,000 Iranian Soldiers = DRAFT
The United States of America has 2.37 million soldiers capable of
combat and available for mobilization. Let's compare with little ol'
Iran! Iran has THE MOST military personnel available for combat in the
entire world. In fact, Iran has more combat-ready military personnel
than China and Russia combined. 11.7 million guerillas - Talk about
hell. The bottom line is, America can't even handle Iraq. At one
point, we thought we would rush in, smite some nubs with dirks and
bubble hearth back home in time for American Idol. Not quite. And with
Iran, reality is going to hurt a lot more.
America is War Stomping on Artificial Ice Above the Pit of Sparta
At the risk of loosing all my credibility, allow my concern to
manifest itself in a less than mature way: Our economy is &%$#ed. We
have a -862,300,000,000 dollar cash balance. That puts us LAST in the
world for cash balance of our own currency. This is what people are
talking about when they say deficit. But this is more than a deficit;
this is an abandonment of the dollar. The conclusion? Changes. And not
the type of changes 2Pac wanted. Big changes that will crash into the
hull of the United States.
Nerf Executive Branch
America is tipping back way too far in her easy chair - something is
about to happen. This upcoming 2008 election is extremely pivotal. I'm
not going to name any candidates because this isn't that type of
article. But let the point of this entire post clear: If you think
times are boring, think again. If you think the future is predictable,
think again. My advice to everyone who reads this is to be thoughtful,
be skeptical, be wise. Learn, test what you learn and share it. The
future of your family tree is in the balance.

No, it equals dogshit.

What's alarming is the fact that you can't read!

The ONLY POSSIBLE way you could get EVERY ITEM wrong is if you're a LIAR.
Even a drooling RETARD would get one or two items correct.
You got ZERO items correct.

Peace = $0 waste and NO DRAFT
I am not eager to get into another military confrontation in the
middle east, but Iran would not pose much in the way of an
insurmountable military nut to crack. We could simply level their
infrastructure, destroy their military command and control centers and
and target their offensive weapons (namely missile launchers). All of
this could be done before (or in lieu of) a ground attack phase.
So what you're saying is, American nukes had better hit their target?
And time to get out of the glass buiness too, there's gonna be a
zillion tonnes of it soon.

> Peace = $0 waste and NO DRAFT
An irrationalist, a mystic, there's no distinction BTW, who claims he
trains suicide bombers, but of course never wants to be one himself,
was interviewed on Australian tele last night, he tells Australian
mothers to stop sending their sons to kill the people of his country,
which BTW he doesn't want to live in for fear of his own death, and
yet he trains his suicide bombers to believe that death is grand.
Irrationalism, the complete abandonment of reason, is the cause of
war, of becoming socialist, Kantain, communist, fascist and of going
to bloody church and worshipping a black rock.

Good, but this time start with nonveterans 65 years-old and work down. And
harvest the Internet to draft the lifestyle poseurs who would be happy
sacrificing my grandchildren for their posing bullshit rants.

And what would that buy us? Another situation just like the one
we can't handle in Iraq and Afghanistan?
That's my guess. "Jerry" will call it WW IV, like his hero, PudHurtz
;D
Way worse than that. It's the notion that we can bomb the daylights out
of whomever we choose without regard to consequences which I find most
disturbing.
Touch Persia, and someone will make us pay. Take /that/ to the bank.
We don't even need a ground attack phase. Iran, unlike Iraq, has a far more
homogenous population.
No sane person is eager for any military confrontation. But letting Iran
develop nuclear weapons is completely insane.
Sometimes we have to do the last thing in the world we want to do because
its the only option left to us.
Yesterday Iran gave the IAEA copies of the blueprints they are using to
build NUCLEAR WARHEADS. This is as real as it gets.
I find a lot of things disturbing about it, and that's just one
of them. I find it appalling that most Americans apparently
have a conviction that it is simply wrong to go kill people when
you don't HAVE to. I find it incomprehensible that most Americans
are willing to trust the same government that used smoke and
mirrors to trick them into supporting the war in Iraq.
Most Americans seem either unable to process information
rationally or to have rejected morality altogether. Perhaps
both. It's like they are in a constant state of government-
induced fear that blocks normal cognitive processes.
Maybe most Americans see the threat that you obviously are ignoring.
Why would we attack Iran? Simple, because we felt the threat they
posed to us was real and imminent. Hopefully, we wont need to. But I
would much rather attack them (and destroy their nuclear/war fighting
capability) before they nuke us (or launch some other attack against
us) rather then after.
Well, you're certainly closer to reality than the poster here. The
reality is, we're out of money as a result of the conflicts in
Afghanistan and Iraq, which is why the dollar and stock market are
simultaneously dropping. Which will, I think, rather shortly end the
wars there.
Many people, like yourself, want to bomb Iran. No one wants to invade
Iran. That would, almost certainly, develop into world war three.
Thermonuclear world war three.
Frankly, I think the generals will gather we're out of money, declare
victory in Iraq, and withdraw. Then the Congress and economists will
start investing in the U.S. domestic economy again.

No. whatever = Private contractors and robots
You are being scared by all this bullshit information. You are being lied
to. Get pissed instead. Iran has nothing to do with anything. Iran today,
who the fuck knows who it will be tomorrow, it's always someone or
another that needs to be attacked or 'they will come and get us'. Don't
you get it!? It isn't about having to go to war with one country or
another, it's war itself. Follow the money not the bullshit. Things will
make a LOT more sense.

OMFG! Ok, let's forget for just a moment that the same was said about
Iraq. Who is saying this? What talk radio TV liar fuck you getting this
from? Iran has not invaded another country in 250 years for fuck sake!!
'Combat ready military personnel'? What the hell does this mean? Does it
mean that if foreign country came to your country and fucked with you,
you would fight back? This wouldn't happen in China? Or here?
> The bottom line is, America can't even handle Iraq.
No the bottom line is America is being told to believe that "America" is
the same thing as it's criminal government which is handling Iraq very
nicely. It wants division and fear in Iraq. Like it does in Iran, like it
does here.
The fact that Americans haven't tarred and feathered the Bushlerites is
proof that they are somnolent.

I think Americans generally are overmedicated. Prozac nation.
Irrational hysteria. Iran is no threat to the US whatsoever.

You're a genocidal fascist. Die soon, and painfully.

No, no, no.
2008 = end of Halliburton contracts (no matter who wins in November).
Halliburton goes to Dubai never to be heard from again.
US military - Halliburton = Selective Service System.
