I thought America were promoting Iran's involvement. There was a conference recently that the US backed hoping Iran could bring some much needed stability to Iraq.

Thats the antiwar leftist viewpoint.

I doubt very much whomever is President of the US will sit by while Iran absorbs Iraq, which is what is happening now, and will be completed when/if we cut and run.
Unless Saudi Arabia was to make good on their threat to back the Sunnis.

its sad people need proof instead of the word from our soldiers. assholes.

MI5 agents were also found instigating and pretending to be "militants" and actually killed Iraqi security forces...what do we do we arrest them and then the US breaks them out of jail.

hehe maybe we should be attacking ourselves or the Brits for causing problems?

The problems are very complicated and of course neighboring countries will attempt to leverage themselves via this conflict, its what countries do. Yet i highly doubt once again that the US could be capable of sustaining any kind of military action against another force outside Iraq.

i find it funny that when people are giving reports, Iraqi and american, that Iranians are a big factor in the insurgency, its blown off as speculation.  but, when you get trumped up casualty figures that pretty much say 50 gazillion iraqis have been killed, from iraqis claiming this as well, well by golly its fucking solid truth.....get the fuck outta here.  I dont like bush, but I swear it seems the majority of you people who want us out of iraq would rather see bush wrong at the expense of our soldiers than actual success in iraq.

what?

The number of casualties is an important aspect to consider, considering we went to what liberate the people? No, wait find WMDS, no wait get rid of Saddam. Lets see a reputable party conducts research into the number of casualties...why do you think we don't think its speculation? First off, its not done haphazardly so why speculate?  But some soldiers capturing some Top Iranian's and then stating they are somehow contributing to the insurgency at least for the time being is speculation.

It's Okay just face the fact that the US doesn't give a shit what other countries think therefore it gives me plenty of reason to bash it, at least until they change their imperial ways


Oh by the way i think the number of deaths was around 650,000

This war may end up much worse then Vietnam because there are so many nations involved.
Explore who is sponcoring the Islamic Courts in Somalia, its a rogues gallery of terrorist nations, all of whom we are basically at war with on some level or another. Ethiopia has declared war on the IC and is preparring to move a 140000 man army into Somolia.

Sponsoring. Preparing. Somalia.

I don't mean to be a stickler for spelling, but when I read that a sharp pain went through my left temple.

I'll put it this way... if we invade Iran, we're going to need a lot of help.  We'll need the U.K. and probably either Russia, France, or China to back us up.

Otherwise, we'll need to greatly increase the size of the military budget, and spend a lot less on everything else.

Until such preparations are made, invading Iran is a serious mistake.

Edit:  I'm surprised you posted a NY Times link.

An invasion is extremely unlikely. However, an invasion would not be necessary to set them years back in terms of nuclear development.

If you're hinting at a series of air strikes against their nuclear facilities, I suggest you also include their military bases as well.  Otherwise, they will retaliate conventionally.
