Iraq... Iran.... Perpetual State Of War

Washington Post reports
"Redeployments of U.S. brigades -- even of the surge forces -- are dependent on the security situation on the ground in Iraq. If General Petraeus early next year sees the security situation deteriorating, he will have the courage to go back to the president and say he needs to keep forces that he had planned to send home," said Col. John R. Martin, senior adviser to Petraeus.

Interesting, so much for the huge Petraeus hearings and announcements in September. All one big distraction, they are not concerned with the security situation, if the oil deal is not sealed, we are not leaving..... Question for our right wing hacks:Still think move on.org was so wrong to put that "betray us" advertisement out?

Friction between Kurdish rebels and Turkey. Turkey is ready to take military action in Iraq. Oh now I can see that 30,000 troop drawdown being postponed for sure.......

Iraqi National Security Adviser Mowaffak Al-Rubaie, told CNN that Iraqis say, “No, big fat no, N-O for the bases in Iraq”......

Still think the Bush administration will continue to back the Shite government in Iraq?????? Can you say "Sunni dictator"??????

Our president spoke to the press, and indeed was banging the war drum fast and furious!!
Most telling moment:

Q But you definitively believe Iran wants to build a nuclear weapon?

THE PRESIDENT: I think so long -- until they suspend and/or make it clear that they -- that their statements aren't real, yeah, I believe they want to have the capacity, the knowledge, in order to make a nuclear weapon. And I know it's in the world's interest to prevent them from doing so. I believe that the Iranian -- if Iran had a nuclear weapon, it would be a dangerous threat to world peace.

But this -- we got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel. So I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon. I take the threat of Iran with a nuclear weapon very seriously. And we'll continue to work with all nations about the seriousness of this threat. Plus we'll continue working the financial measures that we're in the process of doing. In other words, I think -- the whole strategy is, is that at some point in time, leaders or responsible folks inside of Iran may get tired of isolation and say, this isn't worth it. And to me, it's worth the effort to keep the pressure on this government.

And secondly, it's important for the Iranian people to know we harbor no resentment to them. We're disappointed in the Iranian government's actions, as should they be. Inflation is way too high; isolation is causing economic pain. This is a country that has got a much better future, people have got a much better -- should have better hope inside Iran than this current government is providing them.

So it's -- look, it's a complex issue, no question about it. But my intent is to continue to rally the world to send a focused signal to the Iranian government that we will continue to work to isolate you, in the hopes that at some point in time, somebody else shows up and says it's not worth the isolation.

A lot of this sounds like Bush before we invaded Iraq, only now the freak is talking about World War 3!!!!! Notice how Bush is now saying how we have to stop Iran from having the knowledge of building a nuke?? What happened to building a nuke??????

Some interesting war related tid-bits.....
Bill Kristol says iran is the only real threat to winning iraq.
Billy wants his WAR the neo-cons are growing impatient

Ron Paul reminds conservatives that 70% of America wants out of Iraq - and he gets booed! Blood drinking freepers, WANT THEIR WAR PERPETUALLY!!!!

A few neo-con blogs no longer include Ron Paul in their polls because they think his supporters are "gaming the system"!!! Incredible! If you don't think like us, how can you be a Republican??? Now, I'm sure Paul supporters are indeed making sure all their friends vote on each and every single Internet poll, but this shows one important thing, although Ron Paul will not get the support of most Repukes, he is the only candidate generating an excited voter base. His base is energetic for their candidate and the other GOP candidates are fizzling.
