War With Iran A Terrible Idea - Here's Why

"Should Israel decide to launch a strike on Iran, its pilots would have to fly more than 1,000 miles across unfriendly airspace, refuel in the air en route, fight off Iran's air defenses, attack multiple underground sites simultaneously — and use at least 100 planes.That is the assessment of American defense officials and military analysts close to the Pentagon, who say that an Israeli attack meant to set back Iran's nuclear program would be a huge and highly complex operation...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down, including the over-hyped nuclear capability of Iran and why it would be a bad idea for the US to get involved in another war.

the banks want the war so a large population of the world will be wiped out. NWO is doing this along with the bildeberg group and the masons. this will put many countries in bankruptcy and the banks can move in to take over because the governments will be too weak to stop them

[docher1231]

Pathetic to read so many anti-American comments while living and having the United States as their channel country. Love it or leave it hypocrite assholes!

""if we don't start wars in the first place""

Kindly list the wars America "started"

""4,000 troops sacrificed over imaginary nuclear weapons""

It was mounting evidence of nuclear weapons "development", among other factors, that prompted the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Note that every western intelligence service, without exception, concurred in that judgment. Get it straight, Mr Parker.

3 ""terrorists got stronger because of Iraq""

Senseless rhetoric. What terrorists? Where? How?

"it would be a bad idea for the US to get involved in another war"

Mercy, more crap from Young Jerks. If the Iranian regime is stupid enough to provoke military conflict with USA, Iran's major military assets and her nuclear facilities, including those underground, will be demolished from stand-off ranges with precision-guided weaponry. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Same fate awaits North Korea.

Iran and N Korea: be warned

Don't try to confuse him with facts.

Conservatives don't like those.

Uh...I hope you realize more of Al Qaeda's top leadership died in the first two years of his presidency than all eight years of Bush's. Osama Bin Laden was taken out while he was president, even John McCain thought he was foolish for wanting to conduct a raid in a sovereign country.

When Reagan (R) was president, the US funded and trained Islamic militants (Afghanistan). When Bush (R) was president, the Iraq War gave terrorists a safe haven to operate from. Hard for you to admit that huh?
