    Bye bye Iran, and good riddance too... Why are scum in charge of these countries? Ruling to suit their own personal agenda. I can't see the citizens of Iran wanting a war, they are the ones who are going to suffer, not the fat politicians and generals... Scum, die a horrible death the lot of ye.

    I think he's directing that at the leaders of iran more so than Iranian citizens.

    I was refering to the leaders of these countries, who don't seem to care much for the welfare of their own people. Threatening, not one, but two super powers is a pretty stupid move. The citizens of Iran are going to suffer, not the leaders. Which is sick...

    Bye bye Iran, and good riddance too...

    Why, what have they done that's affected your life?

    This is the problem. You say that they have a ruler with their own agenda, like other countries don't.?

    The US is too involved in trying to 'liberate' other nations :rolleyes: ... that's not the agenda of American people, it's the agenda of its leaders, and is bullshit

    Most Americans don't give a fcuk I would think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,247 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    The Iranians have been taking revenge on the UK and the US since 1979, so business as usual.

    It'll be interesting when the Israeli airforce decides to pay the Iranians a visit.

    You know a lot about Iranian political leaders do you? Good riddance? Lol what a mature comment. Also what do you mean by "these countries"? You referred to "these countries" in another post. Can you clarify what you're talking about for me?

    And you think the leaders of America or Britain give a toss about their people? :rolleyes:

    Not that our leaders give a toss about us either.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 969 ✭✭✭murrayp4


    Errrrrr...suicide attack is likely to have been launched by the opposition side who "lost" the election earlier this year. I don't think it's the Brits or CIA's style to support suicide bombers. It does however suit the regime in Iran to blame outside forces. My 2c.

    Might not be that interesting given Iran's medium range missiles, well capable of hitting Tel Aviv.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,494 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    If there was ever a country that had a chip on it's shoulder. Iran would take the cake. Honestly, who does Iran think they are fooling by saying they're going to get revenge on America and Britain. it would be total suicide for Iran to go into open warfare with the US and Britain, and no doubt the Isrealis will want to get a few licks in too, so there is even more worry for Iran.

    Another thing I find interesting is when the aggressor country has to use some stupid lie to go to war with a country. Iran saying the US and Britain were behind the attacks is total bullsh!t, they don't even have any evidence. The US did the same with Iraq when they said Iraq had nuclear weapons. Even in World War 2 Germany said a German man was shot at the German/Polish border by Polish gaurds and said it was going to get revenge. I mean who are these people trying to fool?

    You're so right.

    The Americans who killed between 3 and 4 million civilians in Vietnam would never, ever support a suicide bomber that mioght kill 30 people.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 969 ✭✭✭murrayp4


    Nope, I'm saying the CIA don't do things that way usually. The Iranians are right to be paranoid about the Brits and the Yanks, but I'm just saying in this case it is more likely an internal matter being blamed on external powers.

    I thought Iran was trying to solve it's differences with the EU. Britain is a member of the EU. I don't think these comments are going to help.

    Anyway, probably political posturing.

    Isn't Iran tight with Syria and Russia?

    Wasn't that Russian ship that that got "hi-jacked" shipping missiles to Iran?

    Something that has always made me wonder too. Why not just be honest about it ? "I just wanted a bit more oil is all" or "I just really don't like Iran, so lets blow them up !"

    Either way the end is always the same !

    To read all your assumptions makes me laugh.

    Most Americans don't give a fcuk I would think

    Why would any country make a pulbic threat against a super power? Pretty stupid. Regardless of what position that super power is in, if it is good or bad. I say good riddance because I am sick of hearing this crap every few days. Please get on with it so we can get on with our lives. This sort of thing does effect everyone, if you like it or not, direct or indirectly, large or small...

    These countries: Any country threatening war on another, muslim, christian, jewish, eastern, western. These countries, include England and America :) You know where to stick your assumptions :)

    Good riddance to any piece of sh!t that will endanger the people he is supposed to lead, protect and provide for because of some personal vandetta... yea good riddance.

    Big mistake thinking iran will easily be defeated!! what this war will do(if theres a war) will only bring about years of carnage and it wont be just fought in the middle east.

    was told last year by ct that a war with iran might/would kick off in november with the russians and chinease been involved at some stage.

    How is this different to what Bush used to say about the Axis of Evil / war on terror or other speaches of politicans to their faithful ?

    sabre rattling / brinkmanship is a very old game

    Well they did get their clocks cleaned in Lebanon in 2006. Took large casualties against a bunch of insurgents with RPG's.

    Israel hasn't got long range bombing capabilities....so it will be the Yanks or Brits that will bomb the Iranian facilities if it comes to it.

    I would have to put a lot of the difficulties Israel faced down to international pressure to limit civilian casualties. If there were a proper war with several countries involved it would be a policy of reducing everything to dust and rubble whether it was a "civilian" building or not.
