    Israel. But choosing between those two, Romney of course.

    Now, Iran might actually prefer to be attacked than to have these sanctions continued. With a war they can try to wait out the US. With sanctions the US is trying to wait them out.

    Just redscare 2.0 bullshit

    We conquered Iraq in about a month. The mighty Iraqi Republican Guard was reduced to a mass of quivering jelly in about 2 weeks. Iran's military is a joke by comparison. A war with us would be the guaranteed end of the Ayatollah's reign. Surely they must be aware of this.

    I'm still waiting on your response to our bet.

    The CIA is undoubtedly doing the same to everyone else.

    That is peaceful as far as this shit is concerned.

    Last time we heard this chest thumping it was 2003 and they were telling us the Iraqis would welcome us in with flowers.

    EDIT: Not China, of course. At least not yet.

    Notice we never get hacked by somebody from Britain though.

    The Chinese government are not our friends.

    It's not a matter of opinion. Saddam's regime did collapse in under a month. You can talk about rebels and insurgents until you're blue in the face but it didn't do jack shit to save Saddam. It wouldn't save the Ayatollah either.

    College kids from Britain seemingly get arrested all the time for Anonymous related crap.

    So is 10 years the amount of time it takes war mongering to refresh itself?

    No, but coincidentally I do actually get a lot of my intel reports from the CIA. Not really relevant, I suppose.

    My point was that Grissom has be hacked a total of 0 times by the British. We've been probed multiple times by the Chinese. It has yet to work for them, but damn if they don't try.

    The fact that we went after Saddam was the result of something you claim terrorist do not do, have the largest terrorist attack on US soil while a republican was in office.

    And I'm pointing out that does not constitute a nonpeaceful existence. Everyone is poking at everyone. That's the world. Everyone is taking a look at what the other guy is doing. I'd be flat shocked if the Brits weren't doing the same to us. It hardly justifies this red scare bullshit.

    Terrorists are religious zealots. They do not fear death.

    Amedhinejahd does. I promise you he does. He's not a fanatic, he's a politician.

    Also, Wells I still am waiting for your response to my wager. You seem very confident in your position, so what could you possible have to lose?

    I'd think terrorist want republicans in office, because they bring US citizens closer for them to kill. Their point was to undermine American way of life, while republican control of federal government nets them the Patriot Act. They want the US to seem like war mongers, so republican controlled federal government nets them 2 wars and a president who is unable to reply to Putin, accusing him of being a warmonger. Republicans gave them everything they wanted, why would they want a democrat? You think people who are willing to blow them selfs up are afraid to die while being a sacrifice against an occupying force? You think it was a good idea to send troops to fight terrorist, who believe they go to heaven if they die for their jihad?

    But we're not talking about terrorists here. We're talking about Iran.

    Because terrorists (the Taliban, for instance) also know their guerrilla warfare is damn good.
