Informed response?
Actually.. we sell weapons to Saudi Arabia and they don't get any humanitarian support.. never have.
Re Gulf War 1.... US$36 billion of the US$60 billion cost was paid by Saudi Arabia
No, I am not deflecting. It would be damn near impossible for Iranians to kill American military in Iraq or Afghanistan if there was no American military presence in either of the two countries! Saudis killed 3,000 plus people on September 11 and you are advocating we attack Saudi Arabia as well? The Chinese send troops south during Vietnam to kill Americans. I missed the part where you advocated for attacking China.
Perhaps you should study the involvement of the United States in Iran. When you have completed your study tell me what you would expect the United States would do if the situation was reversed.
in your opinion, of course.....I think the sources are questionable........
link? even if they paid the $36B, it wasn't enough. SA is the primary supplier of 9/11 terrorists, but Bush attacked and occupied Itraq. Using that logic, we should build a fence between the USA and Canada to keep out those pesky Mexicans....

fake ID's doesn't mean they weren't from SA....the reason SA fights terrorists is to keep the wealth inside the Saudi royal family. To the royal family, asking that the wealth of SA be more proportionately shared with ALL Saudis makes them terrorists. Young men are still being taught in SA Mosques that western thought is evil and that to die fighting the west means martyrdom....Six of the dead terrorists were using fake IDs when they applied for US visas at the US Consulate in Arabia.
We have no idea WHO they were.
Saudi Arabia has been fighting terrorists for well over a decade and have become a huge counter terrorism asset to the US and the EU.
The US new when they attacked Iraq and overthrew, that Iran would fill the vacuum.
This really makes me mad. What does Iran have to do to satisfy the United States that it is abandoning its efforts to make nuclear weapons? What proof do we have that they are even trying? They are being put in a no-win scenerio. And, yes, it is Iraq all over again. WMDs that didn't exist. Nuclear bombs that don't exist. And even if they do exist, what business is it of ours?
.On Wednesday the Iranian ambassador to Moscow, Seyed Mahmoud-Reza Sajjadi declared that Iran has the capabilities to carry out military strikes on US interests around the globe.
This comes after President Obama announced the United States would freeze all Iranian assets held in the US. The executive order which was signed on Monday was in reaction to what the US is calling deceptive practices by Iran

Oh joy, oh rapture, to die just so the Saudi Royal Family can maintain its stranglehold on the wealth of SA....yeah, that's a good reason to strap on a bomb.....I guess.

in your opinion, of course.....
Israel is a one nuke country....if any ONE Arab country succeeds in launching even ONE nuclear armed missle and it explodes over Israel, you can bet that the Middle East will become the proverbial "sea of glass".....
Μολὼν λαβέ;1060217341 said:The issue is that Iran is a threat to the USA because they have been killing US servicemen for years, not who is supplying whom with arms.
and then there is this.....Saudis have always had easy access to US visas because they hav been sending Saudi students to the US since 1952.
In short they got preferential treatment.
Those Arabs could have been from Yemen or simply Hajj overstayers.
The SAG government spends 90% of the oil revenue on infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.. like power plants, housing, hospitals, universities, roads, railroads, water treatment plants, desalination plants, solar farms, historic preservation.. and 300 dam to capture ground water.
They are providing 250,000 Graduate level scholarships to European and US schools in the fields of finance, science and engineering, Medicine and international law.
They also make soft loans for small business development.. That's why manufacturing has exploded in the kingdom since 2007.. They now have 500,000 factory workers.
I really like the Sudeiri Seven.. They have an amazing track record over the past 70 years... and they are dedicated to the social and economic progress of the people.
"one nuke" means that Israel is so small that one nuclear weapon might be enough to destroy it......so Iran only needs one...I don't know that Israel is a one nuke country. Which Arab countries have nukes?
As to the ME becoming a sea of glass, how is that a concern of the U.S?
Iran was offered nuclear fuel rods, complete and ready to install, in exchange for its enriched uranium.
But they want to make their own....you have to wonder about that.....
Ria Novosti quoted the Deputy Head of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, saying that Iran produced the 20-percent-enriched fuel rods because Western countries had refused to assist Iran. He added that the Ferdoo nuclear facility has also begun operation under the inspection of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
As to the ME becoming a sea of glass, how is that a concern of the U.S?
The reason the U.S. is beating war drums has to do with Iran's supposed nuclear program.
and then there is this.....
a highly educated work force without private sector jobs thanks to low wages being paid to guest workers...most Saudis with jobs work for the govt....do you think that might affect the price of oil?

Or that the Pentagon and/or private defense contractors wants to keep justifying high defense budgets.
This is just one nugget of many......
Iran has made it "our" business.....US forces and the current administration would be negligent of they did not take this seriously ..

Iran threatens to hit US targets worldwide
Well, considering that the Middle East is currently the world's major source of petroleum, and the world uses petroleum-based fuels to run the engines in, well, a ****-load of machinery including automobiles and tractors, the last of which is used to cultivate the crops that feed the people of the world, it's pretty ****ing important.
OK, let me see if I have this right. Because we have been ****ing over and ****ing with the people in the ME for over 50 years (in modern times) and as we have helped to draw some of the borders; we have assisted in assassinating their leaders; we have had their heads of government overthrown; we have picked and "recognized" new leaders for them; we have occupied their land; destroyed their infrastructure; provided weapons and intelligence for one ME nation to use against another and vice versa; we have destroyed their infrastructure; we have "accidentally" killed their innocents by the tens of thousands; in places like Iraq we have made some areas of the country so toxic that their children are being born with disabilities at a much higher rate than normal; we disappeared their sons and husbands and fathers and brothers, some still in prisons across the world, many face no charges but have not been released; we've raped their children or allowed the to be raped in prisons; we have been loyal only to Saudi Arabia and Israel.
And Iran has made it "our" business now to be involved in Iran?
Tell me true, given all of the above and more, if these things, had been done Muslim nations to Canada and then to Mexico, assuming the US didn't have nukes do you think the US might be steady working to get a bomb soonest? Oh, hell yeah! Do you think the US would sit ideally by and not do all it could to assist Canada and Mexico so that the Muslim empire might be stopped while it was at the front and back doors of the US?

Nice speech, a bit of blather, but, a wonderful sound bite nonetheless.
Try addressing what I wrote.
When multiple countries are threatening to blow you off the face of the map, you play the only cards you have, which in the case of Iran, is the possible disruption in oil supply and guerilla warfare against our "interests" abroad. It's simply a defense mechanism, saber rattling, whatever you would like to label it as, they are acting in terms of self preservation.This is just one nugget of many......
