Iran is Sabre Rattling… Again.
Now let’s get this straight. Iran who is only trying to get nukes to deter Israel and the US from attacking them (Ron Paul) has ventured out into the straight of Hormuz for “Exercises”… Um yeah, that’s good.
Iran to test-fire missiles in key oil waterway
Tehran said it will test-fire missiles in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, a move likely to stoke tensions with Washington already running high over Iran’s threats to close the strategic oil waterway if sanctions are enforced.
“Shorter- and longer-range, ground-to-sea, surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles will be tested on Saturday,” the ISNA news agency quoted Iran’s navy spokesman, Commodore Mahmoud Mousavi, as saying on Friday.
I’m not sure this is a good thing for Obama. Especially since Obama was extending friendship with Iran (2008 campaign) Hows that working out? Also to put a little context into this entire situation. Here’s a map of the area:
You see Iraq up at the left corner, Kuwait next to it, Saudi Arabia… Now do you see a potential problem with it? I’m not spelling it out for you RON PAUL fans, but if this thing goes sideways, 2012 is going to be a disaster. Now also remember you are dealing with people you can threaten with “MAD” Mutual Assured Destruction. These people strap bombs to their kids and send them into cafe’s for Allah… Mutual Assured Destruction only works with CIVILIZED people.
Iran could close the straight at it’s narrowest point pretty easily. Fact is Iran can sink a couple tankers at it’s narrowest point and it’s shut down for a very long time. Leaving the area as some would suggest would be a disaster equally or worse than us staying there. It’s a rock and hard place for sure, but this is the hand we’re dealt going into the 2012 election.
Who will handle this the best?
Ron Paul- It’s our fault, we need to leave them alone and get Israel out of there.
Bachmann– Bomb em
Huntsman– Negotiate
Newt– Negotiate then Bomb them
Romney– First we need to understand the problem then Bomb them
Santorum– Pray for them then bomb them
Obama- What’s the straight of Hormuz? is it a state? FORE!
We are so FU**ED
Fact is this has all been brought to you buy an extremely weak foreign policy. A policy that pisses on our friends and celebrates our enemy’s. Egypt was tossed under the bus and just wait that’s not over by a long shot. Did anyone think for a minute that Iran would just march into Iraq as we were leaving? I didn’t think they’d do it like that. First you must secure the area. The straight of Hormuz is a good start. They have nothing but time. They are setting their chess pieces while we are engaged in picking leadership. Iran would LOVE a Ron Paul to be POTUS and there’s a chance it could happen and Iran is setting up for it.
Very rarely does a country go into another country without some serious strategic goals being met. This particular “Naval Exercise” and subsequent “Threats” are all part of the set up. Take it lightly or take it serious is the choice we must make. I side with those who take it serious and would stand against any movement Iran makes until they decide to move to the 21st century.
Hiding our heads in the sand is rapidly becoming a NON-OPTION.

The presence of any foreign warship in the PG & Strt of Hmz is a provocation against the countries there. Strait of Hormuz & PG are not international water way for any country not bordering that body of water. No foreign warship will be allowed here in the Gulf of Mexico unless it’s visiting the U.S, Mexico, or Cuba. You can’t come to G of M to sail just for the sake of sailing. PG should not be any different. Any foreign warship not belonging to one of the countries living there must declare its destination.
Western’s supremacy in hightech has come to an end. In her last 10-day war drill ended this week, Iran has displayed and demonstrated to the whole world that Iranian scientists and engineers have mastered and achieved the desirable status of wizardry and sophistry of modern weaponry. In the narrow Strait of Hormuz, any ships, carriers, and even submarines will become fish in barrel or sitting ducks for Iran’s missiles. England sophisticate… piece of crap will lie down at the bottom of the PG next to the Fifth Fleet. If Iran is attacked, Israel, her interests, and her minions will instantly become walking targets for Iranians and Friends of Iran. England, Germany, and France will eventually fall prey to the enraged Friends of Iran, and billion Muslims worldwide; it’s just the matter of time,
Patil… Well that is certainly possible if it weren’t for some interesting facts:
Fact #1 is America is NOT alone in patrolling the “Straight” We do it at the behest of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other “Friendly” nations who purchase oil from them. There is a trade agreement in place and we in our self interest also align ourselves in a position to deter SLUGS like Iran from closing that trade route.
Fact 2. Iran has mastered nothing. They are still stuck like ALL other nations that start with “Islamic Republic” in the 7th century. Iran is less of a threat than Iraq was if America chose to actually act on the little piss ants in Tehran. Iran may sink a ship, that would be a prelude to Iran’s total destruction as it is now. You know it, I know it, The world knows it.
Fact 3 Western supremacy may have slowed down because of the asshat in DC but don’t ever forget WE THE PEOPLE of America have the last word. America tires of War, true. But let Iran do something stupid like attack a ship or Israel and you will see a turn of the tide that will have every raghead piss ant shaking in their boots.
Fact 4. You obviously are a Ron Paul supporter OR a Muzzie Iranian loving idiot (Though I repeat myself) And as such you should be aware of some of the things in this world. You should either get your head out of Ron Paul’s ass or put down that piece of shit called the Koran and look around.
