Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
**** the ******* Iranians, they're already in Iraq, if they want to make an excursion into a remote area of eastern Iraqi Kurdistan that's kind of a side issue.
But to address the main thrust of the OP, yes the "War on Terror" is a misnomer. And, what? It doesn't change the facts. It's like pointing out that Bush is an idiot. Surely he is, but even if he was a genius it wouldn't change the facts.
Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
Should Iran or Turkey get a UN mandate to invade Iraq in the worldwide war on terror or should they just go ahead and invade ?

Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
It would be the funniest moment in history if Iran invaded and the US then attacked them because they defied international law and the UN security counsel...

Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
Only because one of the founding nations are making fun of it...

No, Because it's a joke period Tore.
Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
I would disagree.
Care to explain why it's a joke? Horetore's comment also has some merit.
Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
I would also like to disagree. Why don't you explain your reasoning, instead of using single sentences, and keeping us guessing?
Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
More then one of the founding nations are involved in that. You might want to check into the history of the United Nations a bit more.
O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean
Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
Indeed, almost everyone deflates the bloated rhetoric of the UN.
But that's not the UN's fault. Rather than the UN being the joke, I rather think the UN breakers are the joke.

The irony of Iran and Turkey invading Iraq under a UN mandate would be breathtakingly beautiful.

Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
I think that Zaknafien isn't in support of terrorism, but is simply annoyed at the hypocrisy of the situation?
Seems like brinkmanship on the behalf of Iran really. I doubt they have the true ability to take on Iraq if the US is implicitly involved in one way or another.
But whatever happens Iraq will never be stable nor supportive of the USA, if they wanted that the US should have proceeded with the reconstruction in the same manner as they did in Europe after WWII.
So all in all the Middle East is a mess really.

Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
Of course I'm not supporting terrorism. But has been stated here prior, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
The article does not provide evidence of active US support for this group, merely the emphatic statement of one Iranian diplomat. Nevertheless, it is distinctly possible that the USA is not exerting any effort to stop incidents being fomented by this group and the "I'm not aware of" denial by a DoD spokesperson does not preclude some measure of active support.
In terms of moral and ethical consistency, (and assuming that this group is actually conducting terror attacks in Iran) the highest value would be for the USA to expend effort to crush this group if they are taking their cause across the border and using terrorist violence to pursue it. However, given the state of affairs in Iraq and the tenor of Iran's relationship with the United States, it is easy to see where "focusing on other issues" becomes an understandable, though not laudable, choice.
Let us assume, however, that US forces are directed to counter this group. Let us further assume that this group is rapidly degraded and forced to stop any cross-border activity. Let us further assume that, despite some strain, US-Kurdish relations are still largely positive after such an anti-terror offensive. Even if all of this were to come to pass....
Does anyone here think that Iran would then change its efforts and support for anti-US forces in Iraq?

Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
They might have the same political objective and powerbase but the methodology is starkly different.
A terrorist targets civilians.
A freedom fighter targets the military (paramilitary police, militia and security consultants aka mercs included).
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Re: Iranian Raises Possibility Of An Intrusion Into Iraq
So if the Iranian backed people are killing military personel , militias they don't like or some of the mercenaries they are freedom fighters ...if PEJAC is planting bombs in markets they are terrorists .A terrorist targets civilians.
A freedom fighter targets the military (paramilitary police, militia and security consultants aka mercs included).
But if they are doing both what are they ?
Anyhow , 6 people commenting on this linewhy not go for this one instead....No, Because it's a joke period Tore......So you supporting Iran to sponsor terrorism in Iraq (or in general)?
It makes even less sense .
Where this one ........is just too funny for words .Yeah,but I have no interest listening to Radcial Muslims preaching hate against the United States.
