Iran Defies the World

The United Nations, the know all, be all, end all, has imposed sanctions on Iran for its refusal to stop enriching Uranium. Instead of stopping the process Iran has gone full speed ahead and is enriching a lot of Uranium that it insists is for peaceful purposes. One day we are going to wake up to the news that Iran has a nuclear weapon and the outlook in the Middle East will be even more bleak than it is now. The UN will review the findings of the report on Iran and get really tough with some new sanctions, unless of course one of the other permanent members decides against it.

We have a lot of Democrats insisting that we need to retreat from Iraq and leave the Iraqis on their own to work out their problems. Unfortunately, our departure would leave a huge void that Iran would love to fill. The idea that they might just do that with nuclear weapons in hand should give everyone cause for concern. The mad man Iranian President will use nukes in order to achieve his goal of wiping Israel off the map. Once that happens the world will never be the same. It will be too late to go back and try to figure things out. As they say, you can not unring a bell.

The Democratic Presidential hopefuls have made statements that, with regard to Iran, all options are on the table. The Boozer Ted Kennedy said the same thing recently on one of the talking head shows. The candidates have certainly taken that position which is a very unique one to have. You see, they are opposed to our military action in Iraq, which was taken on the premise that Hussein had WMD, (he had WMD including a nuclear program) but they are willing to leave the military option (everything on the table) open with regard to Iran. How can they claim to be against the war and the use of our military in Iraq and yet say that the option of using our military in Iran is a viable one?

Our men and women in the armed forces are watching these idiots and they completely understand what is going on. The warriors know what some of their leaders are doing to them and they do not appreciate the fact that the leaders did not have the courtesy to use Vaseline. If the Democrats are ever successful in pulling our troops out of Iraq and bringing them home in defeat and disgrace then every one of them should refuse to go to Iran, should the Democrats use that item from the table. The troops can tell them to go pound sand and to fight the war themselves.

Our brave warriors would not do that and they would fight when and where they are told, but no one could blame them for a mass mutiny. No one could blame them for attacking and taking over the Congress instead of Iran. I am not advocating such a move but I would certainly understand it. The real enemy within is the Democratic Party and the Democrats in Republican clothing. They are undermining the war effort and the effort of our troops. They should be overthrown and a new government installed and we can do that in 2008. We can get rid of ever person who is up for reelection and put some new faces in there.

I recommend that soldiers who are brought home and are eligible to leave the service at least consider that option. I love the service and I would do anything in the world for my soldiers but I do not want to see them abused. The Democrats might conclude that Iran is the RIGHT war and force troops into action there only to pull them out when it takes longer than expected. Additionally, Iranians would be energized by our cut and run defeat in Iraq and would be ruthless in their desire to kill Americans. Why go through that? If there are not enough troops the Democrats can fight their own war (though it will be called America’s war as opposed to this one which is labeled Bush’s War) or they can reinstate the draft and really piss off a bunch of people. It does not matter, they will blame it all on Bush anyway.

I make the proposal that all the options can only remain on the table with regard to Iran so long as we continue our mission in Iraq. If the Democrats cut and run from Iraq, the military option for Iran has to be removed from the table. I don’t care if Iran nukes half the Middle East, we will not get involved. Besides, doesn’t the Democratic Party believe that the UN should handle everything and that all problems can be worked out by talking? Unfortunately, a decision like that would take stones and I don’t believe Bush or the Republicans would have any in this situation.

We are the greatest nation on the face of the Earth. If we are going to go into Iran then we need to stay in Iraq and complete the mission which means winning. If we are unwilling to do that then we need to sit back and watch the fireworks. Though if we do go into Iran we need to go big. No more pussy footing around and no more policies and rules of engagement that hamstring our troops. Overwhelming force wins wars.

God we need more George Pattons and fewer Benedict Arnolds.
