  2. Israel, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Europe, etc, see Iran as a threat. Russia & China will deal with US.
    We keep going in circles here. Because no nation has attacked the World Trade Center with aircraft, you wouldn't have believed 9/11 warnings. If one nation fires a nuke at another, you can bet that other nation will fire back. With Muslims, they know they will be with 72 virgins.
    This nation is in trouble, you're flirting with the left with this anti-military propaganda. If you vote 3rd party and Obama gets re-elected, you may as well be a leftist because you're as self-centered as they are. You have to do what's best for the nation. That means making sure Obama doesn't get re-elected.

    I was a Hollywood Marine, platoon 3048, class of '82.

  3. Both nations destroyed? Nonsense. There are only two triad nuclear powers but that aside, mutually assured destruction absolutely does NOT apply to any two nations with nuclear weapons.

  5. Your opinions are noted.

    Are you trying to tell me what I would have believed? Hell our own government proposed flying planes into buildings (see Operation Northwoods) in order to start a war with Cuba so it's not like it would have been a completely foreign idea. You've heard of Operation Northwoods, haven't you?
