Seriously, I’d like to know what people think would happen after a US strike. Really, I’d like to hear how people think things will turn out after the US takes dramatic, cathartic action. Other than the satisfaction of seeing something big happening, then what? Lots of people seem to be hung up on “…and after we initiate an armed conflict, that’ll be the end of that.” and haven’t gotten around to thinking what’s going to happen afterwards.

I haven’t heard anyone on the right provide what seems to be a plausible course of events after we get our kicks taking out Iran. It’s weird how conservatives don’t seem to have a handle on the way conservatives in other countries are likely to react.

#117 – BluePuP – To be sure, WWII and the war with radical Communism are different.

**On the one hand, you had nations at war with one another. On the other hand you have sneaky guerrillas. But both declared war on the US.
**In one instance the enemy wore a uniform – today’s enemy blends in, which makes a bad situation more dangerous.
**The average German/Japanese soldier fought for their country and honour but were delighted when the fight was OVER.
**Vietcong (for you sensitive Progressives, this term describes radical, soviet-backed North Vietnamese) are striving to topple the US/Western culture, wipe out South Vietnam, and set up a new communist regime. The PC crowd has a difficult time realizing communists hate them.
**In WWII we knew the enemy – in the war against radical communism, we have Americans and other “enlightened” Westerners offering our enemy aid and comfort.

I doubt your father and uncle would find todays’ situational comparison humourous – on second thought…….

There, wasn’t that fun? But seriously, how is this conflict nothing like Vietnam and exactly like WWII?

**On the one hand, you had nations at war with one another. On the other hand you have sneaky guerrilla’s and suicide bombers. But both declared war on the US.
**In one instance the enemy wore a uniform – today’s enemy blends in, which makes a bad situation more dangerous.
**The average German/Japanese soldier fought for their country and honour but were delighted when the fight was OVER.
**Koranimals (for you sensitive Progressives, this term describes radical, jihad-driven Islamists) are striving to topple the US/Western culture, wipe out Israel, and set up a new Caliphate. The PC crowd has a difficult time realizing jihadists hate them.
**In WWII we knew the enemy – in the war against radical Islam, we have Americans and other “enlightened” Westerners offering our enemy aid and comfort.

And the truth comes out. The neocon trolls really don’t support our troops. Hey punk, instead of talking bad about my military buddies, why don’t you get your punk ass over there instead? Ya think maybe because we would shove a loaded shell up your arse? Stupid punk.

…YOU DESERVE it!

Thank you, Commander, for your role in preventing a needless war against Iran.

On his best day, Bush couldn’t even get close to Truman’s morals, courage and intellect.

… I wonder if this was how it was to live in Rome waiting for Julius to cross the Rubicon and ‘clean up’?

Agree.

“And finally, such devices, although potentially disruptive, are unlikely to be very effective. The blast from an RDD’s high explosive likely would cause more deaths — a few tens at worst — than the radioactive material’s dispersion. This would be the case particularly if materials more easily obtained and more easily handled were used, such as low-level radioactive waste.”

Well, obviously, the answer is: he was another treasonous American. They are down to the Commander Guy and War Profits Guy as their only recognized American Leaders. American history starts and ends with them. They’d probably throw their once beloved Ronald Reagan overboard…as senile as he was, Mike Deaver wouldn’t have let Ron get sucked into this loser of a situation.

Another round of Kool-Aid for the 28%ers!
