They have hostages again like they did in the 70's. Most likely, they are all split up and being held in different parts of the country, so says one of the ex hostages from that time before. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is purported as having been a mastermind of the prior hostage situation, and now he's their president.
Is the troop surge in Iraq really a precursor to a war with Iran?

Sounds like you want a war with Iran. You going to be the first to enlist? We do not have the men or the resources to carry on a third front (Iraq and Afghanistan being the first two). Although I wouldn't put it past this egotistical, fascist, ahole Bush to get us involved in another. Crank up the draft!!!!!

Thought you might find this interesting:........ABOARD THE USS JOHN C. STENNIS IN THE GULF: U.S. warplanes screamed off the deck of two aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf Tuesday in a massive show of force that military officials said was intended to send a message to Iran.
U.S. military commanders would not say when the operation, the largest in the region since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, had been planned. They specified that the war games had not been organized as a direct response to Iran's capture of 15 British sailors on Friday, but made clear they intended to send Iran a warning.
"If there is strong presence, then it sends a clear message that you better be careful about trying to intimidate others," said Captain Bradley Johanson, commanding officer of the USS John C. Stennis.
"Iran has adopted a very escalatory posture with the things that they have done," Johanson said, adding that the U.S. Navy was mitigating that posture.
The maneuvers, involving 15 American ships and more than 100 aircraft, were sure to exacerbate tensions, as Iran has frequently condemned the U.S. military presence off its coastline.
I***I personally think we'll be in war with them by summer. King George is too eager. All the world is setting the stage. Be watching, be looking up! We cant possibly have much time before the Lord returns! Check out rapture ready, if you able, it is a great site.

They know that if they can get nukes we will leave them alone.
Look at Korea. We aren't threatening them, per se.
If Iran were to use nukes it would be very bad. They know they would get their butts handed to them if they did.
Many countries have nukes. We are the only ones to use them, so far.
We cannot control this situation.
Diplomacy is the only way.
If the gov't went around taking all the citizens guns? What do you think would happen?
That's why we have the 2nd ammendment.
I dont necessarily agree with Odom on everything. But these are good articles.
Lieutenant General William E. Odom, U.S. Army (Ret.), is a Senior Fellow with Hudson Institute and a professor at Yale University. As Director of the National Security Agency from 1985 to 1988, he was responsible for the nation's signals intelligence and communications security. From 1981 to 1985, he served as Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, the Army's senior intelligence officer.

The troop surge in Iraq was to quell violence in Sadr City in Baghdad and other trouble spots and to clean house.
Ahmedinejad sure seems intent on war. He invaded Iraqi waters to capture those sailors. I would support a war with Iran.
And yes, Ahmedinejad was one of the captors and interrogators when Iran siezed the U.S. embassy in the 70's.

I say we take out the governement like we did in Iran and pull out of Iraq and Iran at the same time. Let them all fight it out and when another government comes to power in either country that is hostile to the US, we take them out too.

Probably are precursor. Amazing how nobody questions the ease with which things seem to be falling into place. It eerily looks to me like we are being goaded. Like Ahmadinejad wants us to attack. This would be the perfect president to goad.

is that a surprising coincidence that the Gulf of Tonkin incident is occuring again. The British are intentionally provoking Iran to try and squeeze another war with Islamic countries before Bush and the warmongers are voted out.

We should let our arms do the work for us:
-no invasion
-40-50 cruise missiles
-let the israelis take out their nuke plant like they did saddam's in the 1980's.
