War With Iran Only Weeks Away?


Are we at war with Iran? Good question and one for which I believe the answer is yes, we are at war with Iran

It may be a few more weeks before the truth of our involvement on the ground in Iran makes it’s may into the media but, I am satisfied that we have Special Forces troops on the ground in Iran and we have had them there for several months.

We are quietly, but surely, preparing the battlefield for war.

Once again, the US will be going into to combat in a war we did not want, did not seek, and did not initiate. Nevertheless, we will approach the war with Iran in a workman like fashion and… we will prevail.

Iran cannot be allowed to possess the Atomic bomb. There is simply no way we can allow that to happen. It’s akin to allowing a 4 year old to play with a blowtorch. They’ll set everything in sight on fire. Hundreds of thousands will die; possibly even millions, and we cannot allow that to happen.

Again we will have to fight our own battles, here at home, when the opposition party finishes up their ideological battle over the confirmation of Sam Alito to the Supreme Court. The left’s usual suspects will trot out to preen and pose before the cameras and microphones to say that this President is taking us into another "illegal war", etc, etc… the usual mantra they normally spout when they suddenly realize they are way behind the curve, again, and have no way to catch up.

The President and the Secretary of State, Condi Rice, are trying to set the stage to fight the war with Iran by proxy. I do not think they will be entirely successful.. Neither does the Pentagon, or they wouldn’t have the special forces running rampant in Iran, preparing the battlefield for the, almost assured, invasion by the US military.

It will be, in some respects, a replay of the Iraq Invasion. Beginning with an air war. Iran’s nuclear facilities will be turned into rubbish heaps and those below ground will be shredded by new and improved Bunker Busting Bombs such as the world has never seen.

Granted, it would be nice, for a change, to see the Europeans step up to the plate and take their place at the point of the spear, but that just isn’t going to happen. The Europeans do not have the "warrior gene". It has successfully been bred out of them and they are, for all intents and purposes, at the mercy of any nuclear madman who happens to come along. Their only hope is the US Military. They know it. It is no secret.

Oh, they will gasp in horror and feign surprise when the first bombs begin to rain down on Iran. They will posture for the Media with bombastic broadsides fired at the "warmongers" in the US. All the while, they will secretly breath a huge sigh of relief that, once again, the US has saved their collective behinds.

About a year ago, I proposed the idea of the United States creating it’s own United Nations made up of nation states who are prepared to side with the US in situations such as the War on Terror. We have learned the United Nations is hopeless… and helpless. NATO is not much better, if at all.

Well, it now looks as if the proposal is being looked at seriously and we may see emerging a new coalition of Pro American countries. Among them, Great Britain, Australia, India, Japan, and a few others. These countries will become the nucleus of a new United Nations. The old UN can hand a "going out of business" sign on their front door in New York.

The US can no longer afford the luxury of whiling away our time with that crowd of con men, thieves, and all around brigands, which make up the organization today. This is a new age. An age, in which, war comes in an instant. We cannot dither. We cannot wait. We must act quickly and decisively.

The run-up to the Iran war is as good as it’s going to get in the future. Fortunately we have troops in theatre and stockpiles of equipment are already on site and ready for use.

The talking is almost over. We are now looking at weeks before the balloon goes up over Iran. Mid March seems about right for the initiation of the Iran war.

The mad mullahs and the fruitcake- in- chief, in Iran, had better get serious about dumping their plans for a nuclear weapon. As I don’t see this happening, the American people should become used to the idea of a second, or third, front in the War on Terrorism. This one in Iran.

  1. I don't think it matters whether Iran throws itself on the mercy of the UN, where it has a lot of friends, or not. Iran has gone to far down the road to building the BOMB.

    Iran will be hit, militarily, either by the US, or a proxy of the US, and they will be hit, most likely, within 6 to 8 weeks.

    THEN, comes Syria!

  2. Iran cannot be allowed to possess the Atomic bomb.

    I agree... BUT

    I've never understood how we can have such destructive weapons, yet tell the rest of the world they're not worthy of such.

  3. I don't think the U.S. should attack Iran. It has made, and is continuing to make, enough sacrifices over Iraq. I would take more of a Pat Buchanan isolationist view on this one. Let Europe and others pick up the slack for once. I have read articles which suggest many ordinary Iranians--not the ones you see cheering their leader on TV--don't like their leader and would be glad to be rid of him. An internal revolution would be the best solution of all.
