The People's Republik of Santa Monica. Really, Ben, starting this idiotic thread this is a little below you. But not much. Democrat's agenda for next 4 years: Year 1 - Cry. Year 2 - Whine and watch Supreme Court justices fall into place. Year 3 - Be petulent, and shell out 20 bucks for a Michael Moore movie rather than spending it on Midnight Basketball programs for poor inner-city kids. Year 4 - Blame the GOP for everything, stroking themselves in the shower while dreaming of the good ol' days of Bill Clinton, ignoring the fact that Hillary is 10 points behind Jeb Bush. Topper
Iran's population is three times Iraq's; Iran's GDP is three times Iraq's; Iran's territory is three times Iraq's; A war with Iran acquires three times the resources...I don't think Bush can afford the cost at this time. It's also in the nature of Iranians that no matter how much they hate the Mullahs they would unite against any foreign invasion just as they did in the 80's against Iraq.

Just when I think that this forum is beyond redemption, I get a little sliver of hope because a plurality preferred Iran.
Our greatest enemy is actually England. Sure, at first glance they appear to be our ally, but the fact is that George Michael, a British citizen, is an admitted homosexual. And rumor has it that he is dating a man, a homosexual Texan no less, which could culminate into these two dangerous queers becoming engaged and getting married. Our choice is clear: England must go down.
Re: Iran will be bombed soon If only the Republicans followed a religious leader that thought such actions vile (like, oh, I don't know... Jesus?) then maybe the election would have turned out differently.
I think Iran is high on Bushcorp's wish list but Syria is probably next. Since the neo-cons have hijacked our foriegn policy we should look to "A Clean Break" written by Richard Perle, Doug Feith, and others. We have taken out Iraq and are trying to set up a pro western, pro Israel (if that can truly happen) democracy in Iraq, so step one is accomplished. This leaves Syria as step two.

Methinks we need to finish the job in Iraq before the Entire Coilition of the Willing leaves us hi and dri. We've got 142,000 troops in a country the size of Oklahoma, and Tony Blair will soon have only 4,000 remaining to finish the "War". Our other podners have maybe 40 or 60 soldiers to finish up. Sounds like this red team needs more finishers in the attacking third. I think Esky is improving and will be called up soon. Bruce told Chaney the Impaler he will loan EJ until the quallies next year. Dan Rather is reporting that W wants DMB for some reason or other. Everyone knows Saddam's 2 sons were on the planes that hit the World Trade Center. They escaped back to Baghdad on a plane. Michael Moore has it on video. Why don't we turn Saddam loose and give him the $25 mil if he finds Osama? So, my answer is, I vote we stay in Iraq, and show Bush 1 how it can be done. Or not. Mission Accomplished and all that.
This is a soccer board, and no one has yet suggested annexing a country that would make our ascent to soccer superpower easiest? Who's very small and orderly but has excellent football talent? I'm going to enjoy not needing a passport to fly to Amsterdam.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned Haiti. It's utter chaos there, and if the fighting gets any worse, it might spill over to Dominican Republic and affect the baseball player factories there, or refugees will start landing in Miami. They get enough Cubans and their stinky rafts. Plus, if there is a Duvalier offspring, maybe we can prop him up. I'd love to see what clever nickname they can come up with to follow up Papa Doc and Baby Doc.
Cool Iran is Leading the poll It's good to be hated it tells us that we've made it. Sigh however it has been proven that what the majority of this forum want to happen will not happen i.e the result of the presidential elections. But mark the great tiger's words with one Roar I can wipe america off the map and dubya if you're listening this tiger usually don't eat apes but he will make an exception for you. I am terrorizing barbara bush's bush as we speak with bush watching if he is not gonna do anything now i can't see him do anything when the great cat on the map takes it's penis out and shoves it up that ugly elephant on the map's ass and don't worry if the cat wants to it's tool will be so big it will rip the elephant's arse in half and live it bleeding on the lamas bellow it and have it's feces running upwords north to the bigger yet shier elephant's ass. [result] btw don't forget Iran 2 Usa 1 [/result]
I take back my Haiti proposal. I say pull out of Iraq, then invade it again, do it like we mean it this time. Forget all the mistakes made by Rumsfeld and Franks and Bremer. That's ancient history. Forget the WMD claims, the Al Qaeda ties and premature victory celebration on flight decks. We'll be up front about our intentions. This has nothing to do with terror, and everything to do with exporting America. Pretty soon, there will be Little Americas all over the globe, like Wal-Marts and Taco Bells. Yeah, the mom & pop governments will cry foul over these America franchises, but the consumers will love the huge savings (of lives) and the great (democratic) values. In the game of life, you just reach for the reset button when the going gets rough. This is the new and improved Operation Iraqi Freedom version 2.0. Once more into the breach, with feeling.
B..b..but, they're black! Just look what happened after we did a half job invasion in Somalia. All we got was a bunch of Somali refugees, not even a tee-shirt!
I start a thread about a British politician (un?)intentionally goading Bush into bombing Iran, and it becomes a poll? Evidently the mods here wanted to remind everyone that I forgot poll-land...
Well, If an American is suited at the international war crime court Bush is allowed to 'do every action neccessairy to free that one'. Well, now all tha Bush corp has to do is to get an American in front of that court and they are allowed to invade the Netherlands, and then have war with all of the EU...
