That stuff was written about a thousand years ago. I never put much 'faith' in it, but dadgum, this is getting closer and closer to them words as each moment passes. Hope the big guy doesn't hold me accountable for the agnostic viewpoint.

Will you people get this right for once in your life?
First of all the Arabs Islamics are the enemy no exceptions! This is a cult group hell bent on killing the Infidels, that is Americans get it so far? There are 21 Arabic countries, they all belong to the same group The United Arab Republic! are you still following?
Okay the Bin Ladin's, the Qadafi's, and the pres. of Iran and the Russian pres. Putin, are all the conspirators here since WW II and it had turned into the cold war. then the cold war ended and they regrouped and then attacked. Inbetween them we had a cluster buster in the Gulf War with the other half of the inept idiot Bush Jr. non other than Bush Sr. okay? then there was a time for peace as we were trying to unravel the webs these CIA peep hole jockeys had made an abortion our of, we only had 8 years and they had 12 years and 25 prior to that. So now when the junior got in the white house it was inevitable for the New World Order to take the guns in hand again on both sides. They all have vendettas. And Iran/Iraq has been our enemy since the Shah of Iran was ousted? They have had training camps for years for terrorists to attack us when the opportunity arose. And it arose when the Demon Dubya took office he rose his beast of a head and they attacked the WTC remember now do you think this starts and stops just because that moron sent troops in? He had to send them in because his father was too stupid not to clean up the mess he left behind when he withdrew his troops. We should have sent in snipers and taken out the heads then Saddam and all his followers. Clinton was avoiding the war with negotiations and it possibly would have worked to our advantage if Gore would have taken office. But they rigged the Judges about the votes and Bush stole the white house and made a cluster buster out of our country. Still and all we are not attacking anyone we are retaliating! Get it yet? We should have blown the hell out of them 28 Years ago when they took hostages! They are the enemy, yes Bush is wrong in his personal gain, and agendas, and vendettas, but that does not change the fact the Arabs are attacking us and they did bomb the WTC before 9/11 remember? Wake up we have to obliterate them or they will do it to us! I wish we had another president but we don't right now, but we will soon enough and even then we will not have peace until we destroy the ones that are fanatics and trying to take over and kill everyone get it?

This is not a new question...not even close. Government already said 20 times that they ARE NOT going into Iran. Why is everyone saying this? The president has a right to be angry about Iran supplying Iraq insurgents with military weapons. Gates is in Russia right now. They openly admitted that they're selling arms to Iran...Iran is sending the insurgents to kill Americans, but WE can't do anything...we don't have the troops to do it with.

No matter what you hear, Congress HAS NOT approved the 21,500 going over to Iraq, they have not even approved the money to fix the 12,000 Humvees that were sent back here for repair. We have nothing to fight with, the soldiers would NOT be armored as they should be and Congress is NOT sending any more right now and they don't plan to.

This isn't what I think, it's facts from watching the senate hearings live on C-Span. Try it sometime instead of listing to faux news and other media. They're full of _______opinions and that's it. Political analysts cannot figure this thing out if Congress can't make up it's mind. This is the same as WWII but in the middle east, so we are in WW III already. But NO ONE wants to nuke anyone. It's pointless.

The possibility of third world war is very bleak even if America attacks Iran. And that too does not seem anywhere possible. Though US is trying to push Iran on the backfoot they cannot think of another war on a sovereign state and repeat the mistakes of Afghanistan and Iraq, where they had vested interest. Already US has faced so much anger in their own backyard they won't jeopardise the life of more troops.
And about world war it's the rarest possibility i think. As there are many nations which overtly or covertly possess nuclear weapons. They know if the WW breaks out it will be the end of the planet earth. It will take everything in its swipe. They themselves would avoid to provoke one. But I cannot deny the possibility of Cold War-like situation.

This what Chloe_24 has to say

"This is not a new question...not even close. Government already said 20 times that they ARE NOT going into Iran."

This wouldn't be the same government that told us that there are WMDs in Iraq. The same government that told us that Saddam helped terrorists carry out 9/11. That Saddam was allied to Bin Laden?

Wake up, smell coffee!!!!

I don't normally edit but Bickstick has forced me to do so. So it goes like this. What the hell has attacking Saddam got to do with Bin Laden. Bin Laden attacked the USS Cole and the twin towers. Why has Bin Laden not been caught?

Now, regarding Saddam, Bush Senior stated that Saddam was contained and couldn't develop any more weapons e.g. those WMDs. What changed during the Clinton era and early Bush era. Well I'll tell you Bigstick. You obviously don't read the history books, or know anything about economics so I'll make it as easy as I can for your tiny little military brain.

In 2000 Saddam insisted that Iraqs oil was sold through the oil for food program in Euros and not dollars. Now what does this mean? I hear the cogs in your brain Bigstick so I'l try to keep it simple.

All oil is traded in dollars. That means to buy oil you need dollars. To get those dollars you have to trade with the USA. That means selling goods to the USA. The US prints dollars for a very low cost and uses them to buy high priced goods. It is simply getiing something for nothing. To help Bigstick understand this concept, imagine you could hit print on your computer and a $100 bill would be printed which you could buy goods with. You'd be getting something for virtually nothing! That is how the US economy works. That is why they run a 48% trade deficit and that is why the oil trade is conducted in Dollars.

Now when Saddam began trading oil in Euros demand for the dollar dropped and with it the ability of the US to import goods for next to nothing. Iran was cutting dollar transaction to a minimum and oil prices began to rise. What could the US do? It was Saddams choice to sell his oil that way. So they invaded. It had nothing to do with terrorists... there are more terrorists in Iraq now than before the invasion.

Now Iran has also started trading its oil in Euros - since the end of 2006. Have you all read the news lately. Increased threats to Iran. We have Iraq all over again. The difference being that Iran is better armed and better prepared. The US are also bogged down and losing in Iraq. Will they risk a war? Well they gotta stop that oil being sold in Euros. And Venezuela are looking into trading their oil in Euros too!!!!

What does all this spell for the USA. Well if Euro trading goes well then it spells a big recession for the US. Lots of unemployment, a currency that isn't worth the paper it is printed on and no cheap imports!

So Bigstick... your macho talk has very little substance to it. Your argument is weak and the excuse the US govt already used have been exposed over and over again as a pack of lies. IF you really are in Iraq and you catch a bullet and die or are badly injured, how will you and your family feel to have suffered for a lie?

We have been a part of WWIII since the end of WWII. Now the world is engaged in 41 major conflicts & civil wars, more than at any time in world history. The weapons used are of greater magnitude and danger. Tempers are at the breaking point all around the world. There is a lof of ignorance, hatred, prejudices, pre-conceived notions, conspiracies & psychological fronts that if one of them breaks or reaches no-return to normalcy, we will all be engaged in one, major war. Iran may be the country that ignites the entire world in that one, major conflict. The psychological battle began in 1946.

in case you experience so upset at what you're saying are lies that the congress and the president used to get us right into a conflict with radical islam then you definately could bypass away now. i do no longer care if there have been weapons or no longer in Iraq. That conflict ended over 3 years in the past. it incredibly is not the U. S. against Iraq it incredibly is the U. S. against radical islam now. they are those that attacked the Cole, and delivered down the towers. they are our enemy and the enemy of humanity as an entire. in case you are able to't see which you're dealer and could desire to bypass connect your acquaintances. Your lunatic ideology could certainly drag us all right into a international conflict that mankind will lose no longer purely usa...

The president needs the consent of congress to declare war. He had this in Iraq. In Iran its a different matter.

I think the UN will probably try sanctions like it did in Iraq. The UN is so weak in its resolve though that it will not work.

Yes, and you can thank Israel and all of its lies and manipulations and its psychotic Zionist Diaspora which has attached itself to America's spinal cord and spread its tentacles throughout her appendages, becoming America's puppet master.
