Lol...Geez. Big bad Americans. Amazing how you can let some ayatollah jerk your chain when you have the firepower to destroy everything he's ever seen or known about, in one afternoon...tops.

"Ooooooh...the ayatollah wrote a book...I'm so skeered."

In this case, not really.

It's one thing to be deceived. It's quite another to be deceived while the deceiver is pretty much telling everyone publicly that they are lying to you.

Imagine:

Mother: "You will stop threatening your sister! She said you were going to hit her with a big stick."

Little Boy: "Sure."

Mother: "I'm going to check your room to see if you have any sticks."

Little Boy: "Okay. Just let me know a week ahead of time before you do it. And you can only look in the closet."

Mother: "Okay."

Little Sis: "But mom... He's lying!"

Mother: "Shush!"

Little Boy: *calls friend on phone* "I totally lied to my mom."

Mother: "I can hear you. I'm right here."

Little Boy: "Dont worry mom. I didn't lie to you." *gets back on phone* "I totally lied to my mom again!"

The US can't fight it's way out of a wet paper sack, UNLESS it uses nukes! Haven't won a war since WWII!

So the best thing is to stay out of the fight, eh?

I won't go that far, but we don't have the capabilities to defeat Iran WITHOUT nukes. We certainly can't beat them in a ground war on their soil...and they aren't coming here to fight.

You thought that Iraq was a handful. Try a nation much larger, more mountainous, with three times the population. You'd BETTER be talking about using tactical nukes if you even dream of winning that war.

The best thing is to have enough brains, to not make a deal with your enemy, that gives them everything and you nothing!

And how is their power going to disappear?
