Aug 20, 2008 - well horro11, do you know how fast we destroyed the "Iraq Military" that was leaded by Saddam? It took only 2 WEEKS with only 10,000 TROOPS VS THEIR 250,000 TROOPS...our technology are meant to fight against tanks, jets, ships, etc...our technology cannot SNIFF OUT A INSURGENT FROM A CIVILIAN. Never heard of Guerilla warfare have you? Hit and run tactic fool

horror11 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - americans faught against 250 000 iraqis???wtf are talking.there was nearly no resistance in iraq.the country was under 10 years total harsh boycot.iraq was under control by the uno and the americans had full airspace control over iraq since 1991.they could target military structures without any resistance.the iraq invasion was no war it was just a slaughter of the ppl who was left.iran is a totally different situation.its not a brokenbone and defenseless country like iraq

Rawranator24 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - that is true horror11, america is not #1 and I know that, but if Iran and US did go to war (Which I doubt) there would be higher casualties then the one cause by the insurgents...since the technology both sides have the capability to slaughter more then a "small arms weapon" and makes the current death toll in Iraq possible with Iran in 30 minutes. We are after all humans and we all breath the same air, eat the same food, and are powered by the same fluid that we all have...blood

horror11 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - the ppl who declare the wars dont care for casulties,they count the money not the maimed and death on both sides.the usa cannot win any war on foreign soil aslong the population dont accept them in their country.this is the main reason why the usa didnt won any war after ww2.the only reason the usa is continuing wars is cause they had no attacks in their own country yet.it is a big difference to loose a soldier in a war and a soldier who looses his family in a bombardement of his home

Rawranator24 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - but if they count money for the war, whats the point? Our dollar value is decreasing so the amount of money they make is not as much as they think...true I disagree with the war in Iraq but I doubt they do it for the "money"...its something else...not for oil since US just lifted restriction for off-shore drilling..its not for the money because its going to be gone due to HIGH TAX due to the debt..

horror11 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - you should learn to think bigger.iraq changed 2003 the oilcurency from dollar to euro.if other countrys would do the same the us economy would collapse cause the dollars have no value without the oil.bush invaded iraq and they changed it back to dollars but in 2005 iran started to sell oil only in euros,thats the beginning of the axis of evil and the abomb myth.the reason why it is so dangerous,is that the usa can pay any prize in dollars cause the fed just print them,but not the euros.

horror11 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - the second thing is that the banks and the military industrial complex earn billions out of any war, thats why the usa is allways at war.if the usa had no wars their economy had already collapsed since the 70s, the big 3 in usa are banks, warindustry, oilindustry.everything what happens in the us is depending on one or all of this big 3.the winners are the banks, the warindustry and the oil industry.the citizens are just pawns in their game
