As a ma...You're totally correct as usual, Deb.<br /><br />As a matter of fact,after the famous bowing incident, King Abdullah reportedly had a sidebar with Zero in which he was quite critical about our Iran non-policy.<br /><br />Obama simply put his foot in his big mouth, both in Iraq and Afghanistan. By saying that Iraq was the 'bad war' and pandering to his party by committing to getting the troops out ASAP, he put himself at the mercy of Iran, who hold the keys to him successfully fulfilling that.<br /><br />By flapping his gums about Afghanistan being 'the good war' and beating his chest about how he was going to pursue it (unlike Bush, who after being misguided enough to go in settled for a reasonable amount of stability while he was concentrating on Iraq) he again put us at the mercy of the Mullahs, who, as you know, are helping the Taliban.<br /><br />Unless something happens quickly, we will be faced with a nuclear Iran as the dominant power in the Gulf - thanks to Obama.<br /><br />Bush may have been misguided to go into Iraq,occupy and then engage in nation building,but Obama compounded the error to the point of absurdity.<br /><br />Regards,<br />RobFreedom Fighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649470110087808596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-57913038856336512732010-08-18T11:28:09.642-07:002010-08-18T11:28:09.642-07:00Rob, you say "... they [Iraq} were an imminen...Rob, you say "... they [Iraq} were an imminent threat to the Saudis and Gulf States, which is the real reason we went."<br /><br />Yet now we have the strange situation where Iran is the threat to the Saudis and Gulf States. Obama is more of a Saudi-lover than Bush ever thought about being. In not doing something about Iran's interference in Iraq, in Afghanistan and now with them going nuclear... Obama has let down his Saudi pals.<br /><br />When Bush was in office, we were at least doing something about Iran's intrusion into Iraq. I don't think we are doing anything about it now.<br /><br />As to Sadr. His goal was to become a high-up politician. When it was made clear to him that was not going to happen, he was sent off to Ayatollah school in Iran. His hopes now are to return and gain power in the clerical field rather than the political. (well, they are both intertwines I suppose, as they are in Iran)<br /><br />Not knowing what kind of government will eventually emerge in Iraq, the future there is very questionable. Iran has the upper hand it seems.<br /><br />Debbie<br />Right Truth<br />http://www.righttruth.typepad.comRight Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18274108313586611205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-82060078222347528572010-08-18T07:41:39.122-07:002010-08-18T07:41:39.122-07:00I appreciate what you're saying Eagle. But her...I appreciate what you're saying Eagle. But here's the difference.<br /><br />Iraq definitely had the knowledge and the potential to become a threat to the US and the Ba'aath regime was a sponsor of Islamist terrorism ( including the first WTC bombing and possibly even <a href="http://joshuapundit.blogspot.com/2010/04/bill-clinton-and-oklahoma-city.html" rel="nofollow">Oklahoma City.</a><br /><br />But they were not an <i>imminent threat to the US</i>.<br /><br />However, they were an imminent threat to the Saudis and Gulf States, which is the real reason we went.<br /><br />Afghanistan was never a threat at all, and without the Taliban and al-Qaeda's influence in Pakistan ( a true source of illegal nuclear proliferation and terrorism)was isolated. <br /><br />Iran, however, is a major sponsor of Islamist terrorism,and armed with nuclear weapons IS an imminent threat.<br /><br />And even now, we could deal with that threat without invading and without any farcical exercises in nation building, which is exactly what we should have done with Saddam.<br /><br />It's how Rumsfeld and Cheny wanted to handle it, but they were overuled by the President, Colin Powell and CIA head George Tenant.<br /><br />Regards,<br />RobFreedom Fighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649470110087808596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-61679574885011873452010-08-18T05:32:12.989-07:002010-08-18T05:32:12.989-07:00The way I see attacking Iran, If attacking Iraq an...The way I see attacking Iran, If attacking Iraq and Afghanistan was a mistake (which it was) then attacking Iran is a blunder...<br /><br /><a href="http://eseaf.com/members/zeb.html" rel="nofollow">E</a><a href="http://eseaf.com" rel="nofollow">a</a><a href="http://takht-e-sulaiman.eseaf.com" rel="nofollow">g</a><a href="http://desktopeer.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">l</a><a href="http://me-gan-fox.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">e</a><a href="http://cash-make.page.tl" rel="nofollow">.</a>Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10868476279679407561noreply@blogger.com
