US Carriers amassing off coast of Iran

The facts, however, are not going to hold sway when general paranoia enters into the geopolitical realm.

Too true.

I can't understand how we (the USA) can keep getting aw ay with stuff like this. Sure I guess situations like these would be considered more of a 'threat' than an action, but really, how long is the world going to stand by and let us do whatever the fuck we want with little to no worldly consequences? Someone or someones are going to get more than upset enough to teach us a lesson eventually.

Israel is a nation filled with many religiously overzealous people, and the U.S.A. is just as bad. I'm tempted to agree with Brady on this one.

Quote:

The claims that Israel may be preparing for an assault on Iranian nuclear facilities were strengthened this weekend by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who told reporters at the G8 summit in Canada that G8 leaders "believe absolutely" that Israel will "probably" strike Iran.

This reminds me of that episode in Metalocalypse where the President is on the news saying that the inmates are going to "possibly" break out of jail, and that it's "definitely, probably going to happen tomorrow. Maybe."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Had you read the rest of my post, let alone the rest of that SENTENCE, you would have read that I asked HOW we can do it with almost NO consequences from other nations, the U.N., anyone. It seems that at some point someone would step up and tell us to knock it off, or something. It can't be that we just threaten anyone with big giant boom-booms and they back down every time.

Or who knows, maybe it is.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
