Somehow, I see this road ending before it even finalizes...

Sure they're laying out the blue prints and some of their points are valid (RE: munitions coming from Iran) however the American psyche is pretty much at the breaking point as it stands now with this whole affair.
I simply can't see how 'they' are going to convince otherwise.

So, let me get this straight. We're going to violate Iranian sovereignty over what?

The pretext has not been found yet. American government is busily finding ways to set up Iranians for an excuse to attack Iran. Then, they will be able to use this new law as an easy way to smash to smithereens and torture the Iranian Guard.

I mean, seriously, unless US officials had nothing better to do, why would they add a government agency to the terrorist list? What have the Iranian Guard done to the world to deserve this? How is this suppose to bring better peace and security to the region? All this does is escalates the situation even more, and less trust and more friction will only develop. The only thing makes sense is the long-term picture, the continuing pressure and isolation of Iran by US and its puppets in the region ...


Basically its a statement, that says that Iran can no longer be a friend, or someone to co-operate with in the region. They are the enemy now, the silent war has been declared. Now its only a matter of time before the Iranians are set up ...

My conservative grandparents would support attacking Iran.

It is like coming and saying the U.S marines are all terrorists.How fuckin stupid would that sound?


Funny thing is they are keep saying Iran should do this and that to help Iraq and Afghanistan and here they are calling them terrosists.

Our military is already stretched thin in Iraq and Afghanistan. We've already spent hundreds of billions of dollars on fighting in these two countries. How could we possibly find the resources to take on yet another? Unless, of course, we decide to just carpet bomb the whole place back into the stone age.

we labeled the Iranian government terrorists officially in 1984.

we labeled the Revolutionary Guard Corps so the Treasury Dept. can specifically target it's assets since they have moved above their station.

So, according to our Administration's terms with AUMF, we can rightfully attack them now. Oh yeah, we can also rightfully torture the fuck out of them too if captured. Just a long line of events down the road towards yet another war with our dear fucknut neocons at the wheel. Shall we be seeing our war-supporting Republicans enlisting soon, or do we need a draft for this war?

Already posted about that, and Occ already made a thread on the draft too

Looks like the 2008 election could be the "do we attack Iran" election.
