??? Today is the Day.......

[Venom'sDad]

March 21, 2007 is the day that President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, set as the day that Iran will no longer, under any circumstance, use U.S.Dollars in any form of commerce, including the sell of oil. He is basing the Iranian currency off the European Euro.

For those who may not understand the significance of it, this is the REAL reason why Saddam Hussein and the Baath Party party was removed from power. The Euro was introduced into the world's markets in Sept/99. Hussein had said ever since that he would be dropping and trading in the U.S.Dollar for the European Euro. He kept his promise in 2002, when the European Central Bank(ECB) introduced the Euro Banknotes for consumer consumption.

All of a sudden, the Bush Administration found a connection between Hussein, bin Laden, and the 911 Attacks. The U.S. attack Iraq March 21 2003(it was March 20 in the States, but after midnight the 21st in Baghdad. That's the significance of that date.

Given that the U.S. surrounds Iran on three sides/points(Persian Gulf & Gulf of Oman to the south, Iraq to the west, Afghanistan to the east, conviently) do anyone believe the U.S. will attack Iran by the end of the year?

It's not that I don't think they *would*. I just don't think they *can*.

Why? What have I done to you... I don't think I ever replied to any of your post til just now.

The USA already has enough problems dealing with Iraq. If they decided to invade Iran, (which the Democratic Congress will NEVER support) it's very likely to be the catalyst for the 3rd world war. The entire Middle East would destabilize and my guess is nuclear war wouldn't be far behind.

Since Bush is on his way out, I find it doubtful that he would commit to the invasion of yet another country.

 

[ang_hulk]

or he would because hes on it way.still though they will sell oil to us.

I they do, I don't see how they can find any convincing excuse, everyone should see through their games by now.

I'm not saying that this incident will lead to an excuse to attack Iran in a full scale war like Iraq; but there is a situation that is playing out now with the British soliders. If one or a number of them are killed, than who knows. Somebody might want to esculate the situation as a prime excuse to just bomb a few Iranian sites... not neccesarily a full invasion.

As I said in another thread, the relationship between the U.S. and Iran is already really shaky, and this British sailor incident could be a catalyst to something far more serious.

The U.S. does not have the military strenght to commit itself to combat in Iran. It would be an incrediblly unpopular move here in the United States, and it's asanine to assume that if we launch air-strikes against Iran they won't escalate it in some way. Ground troops would be needed. Ground troops we don't have. That means a draft if we're there for long. And, as Halcohol pointed out, this would just topple whatever stability is left in the Middle East and full out war could very possibly break out over an entire region.

This could get ugly very quickly.

I totally agree Dark V, but I don't think it will go that far; just an excuse for some major strikes to strategic areas, so the Isralies want have to and keep them from flaming the situation any worse. An attack by Israel would unite the Islamic world.

Yes, but as I said, Iran is very militarized. I doubt they would simply sit back while they are bombed. Especially considering their government and their people are rabidlly anti-U.S. The United States is hugely unpopular in the Middle East, arguably just as much as Israel. If the United States were to launch air-strikes, I feel it is as equally as dangerous if Israel were to do it instead. We've already invaded two Middle Eastern nations, if we were to attack another, what message would that send to the people of the MIddle East.

I'm not saying that it is going to get that serious, but it certainly has the potential.

Oh I'm sure they want sit back and just admire the view either... we are in agreement of that, please don't get me wrong. However the U.S. has lukewarm friends, but friends neither-the-less, in the middle east and money & resources talk. However, Israel doesn't have such, and they will unite the Islamic world if they where to strike Iran unprovoke(obviously from muslim eyes). Believe it are not, most of the Middle East hate the U.S., yes; but they are afraid to get in a war with the U.S.... they're not with Israel.

The Muslim World(MW) know they can't fight against the U.S. straight-up and is not easily sucked in to what the U.S. and allies are trying to munipulate. For the MW, it's more of a battle for the minds and the media is it's tool. The U.S. could have easily secured Iraq years ago, according to Colin Powel. The U.S. perpentrating this war, in order to stay in those three major strategic area(I mentioned in the opening thread) for a possible attack of Iran.

So it hehoove me why Mahmoud would seemingly trying to esculating this situation with Britain, giving them the excuse to attack, with U.S. backing. It's been known and reported that some Imans in Iran, don't like Mahmoud... they think he's one of many patsies(and he don't know it) by the Imperialist Governments to esculate tensions and bring the NWO to the Middle East.

So who know... everything does in some cases seem manufactured.
