They did!. Its a show of defiance!.
The statement: Try to stop us!
The msg: We're gonna become a super power, when we speak the world will listen, once we become nuclear, and if we decide to take out Israel in the future, the US will tremble from the thought of targeting us or attacking us.
This is all about power, terrorism, and control of the Middle East. Who knows what Iran has on their drawing table, but its obvious they have plans, and since Pakistan is gonna harbor al qaeda due to its fear of reprisal its possible to foresee them getting their hands on their nuclear sites. For them not to box them in with the US, and for Obama not to push this issue may open the door to some future event of this kind.
Iran is an always has been one the most terrorist countries in the world, and its well known that they have terrorist training camps for Hezbollah which is no more than al qaeda's counterpart. These fears can be substantiated with the US setting up an embassy in Iraq, and them concluding the need for remaining a presence there for who knows?.....The next hundred years?..........Iran feared Saddam because they never knew what he had in his military arsenal, and the US should have either got him during Desert Storm when it was justified, or lived up to their UN mandate, and stayed out of Iraq. No love was lost between Iraq and Iran. The UN mandate didn't rope and tie the US from going in after him, and his sons.
Bush Jr., senior, and Cheney no doubt saw things through windows of opportunity for themselves, and their corporate buddies, and that countries oil reserves, but who couldn't see past their noses regarding Bin Laden, because of their close ties with the Bin Laden family. What we have seen is 8 years is death and destruction, trillions of dollars in cost, and instability, and Americans paying for these losses in more ways than one, our Nation suffers in both human life, and monetary cost at the American peoples expense, and the families who lost love ones, and friends who have lost friends, suffers the anguish, and foots the bill.
Our real primary focus should have always been on Iran, and Pakistan who have been given untold sums of money to keep them as an ally, something they haven't been when the rubber meets the road, and may someday pose as much a danger as Iran for not helping to end al qaeda's existence, and ending the known rebels abilities to mount attacks within their country, India, Spain, or anywhere else.
If Ike, or Patton, or Bradley, or MacArthur and others could have been around to analyse a battle plan after 911, I doubt that it would have been Iraq, not before Afghanistan was resolved, and Pakistan getting on track which should have ended 7 years ago, and then this would have opened the door with what to do about Iran. They couldn't have fled into Iraq or used that country without first having met with the end of Saddam's guns. Iran could have then stayed front and center during the last 7 to 8 years now.
Its gotta make you wonder where are the brilliant commanders of today?, the ones that left Iraq at the beginning of that war in Iraq, and chose to retire?,,,,,leaving the troops to practically command themselves. This was imo the first indication that they weren't gonna bite into what they knew was the wrong place to go to war..........Obama's tuff talk is beginning to sound more like a squeak for not sending reinforcements into Afghanistan and our weaponry to clean it up once and for all.
