ella, #7 Don seems (not real sure, his post can be read both ways, since the irony factor is unknown) to support the Usurper Obama , who did all those things and more.
So far the Usurper hasn’t completed a single major campaign promise. He has jacked unemployment from 4.5 to 9.5 percent. The troops are still in Iraq and homosexuals still can’t molest children in the streets. Gitmo is still in business and his stimulus checks are smaller then President Bush’s yet cost more. Not sure how they worked that miracle of economics.
The economy is sliding down hill fast and the Usurper doesn’t care, or at least he isn’t willing to take steps to end the economic collapse of America, which is the biggest reason why the rest of the world is having economic problems.
AS far as Iran, it doesn’t matter to America. Which ever nutbag is selected by the Mad Dog Mullahs (hereafter MDM), he will have the same policies as the nutbag he is replacing. So no matter how many people the revolutionary guards gun down, NOTHING WILL CHANGE.
There are only two possible souces of change, External and Internal. Internal can only happen if the Army is willing to fight the MDMN thugs AND strong enough to win. There is no sign of the first, which doesn’t mean anything because if the outside world could see signs of the Army going rogue, the MDM would see it first and kill a bunch of Army leaders.
As for as the Army winning, I don’t think so.
As far as an external event to force regime change, only the USA has the power and President Bush chickened out on that in ’04. The Usurper is not going to order an invasion of Iran, nor even military action in the form of airstikes against the MDM’s bully boys ( called the Internal-External offensive like in Afghanistan in ’01).
The Last time the USA ‘helped’ another country’s revolution was in 1896 or 7 ( I forget exactly) when we took on the Spanish for the Philippines. That got us a guerrila that lasted until 1916 and was worse then Vietnam and MUCH worse the Iraq.
That is a big reason why Ike passed on Berlin in ’45 ( He was worried about the Nazi’s forting up in the mountains of Bavaria and doing guerrilla for the next 2 generations) and refused to help the Hungarians in ’56.
Look at how much trouble the USA is having in Iraq and Afghanistan. By now even the village idiot has figured out that the USA has no desire to build an empire by adding turd world pestholes to the Union. Yet still they fight on.
The USA could invade Iran. Right now it would mean putting another 250,000 troops INTO Iraq. It would take at least 6 months to get ready and the whole time people would be screaming about how we were supposed to be pulling troops OUT. Then after we brought down the regime in Iran, with the cost of several hundred American lives and thousands of Iranians, our reward would be another 10 years of guerrillas.
No thanks.
I’m all for doing nothing in this case. If you Iranians want to kill each other, I’m good with that. You and thousands of your buds could be dead by next week. ALL for NOTHING. It makes no difference who the President of Iran is. For change, you need to get rid of EVERY Mullah in Iran. That ain’t gonna happen.
