		<description><![CDATA[Drakken:  &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;There is your problem right there, Obummer has said, well in case it has escaped your notice, but anything coming out of Comrade Obummers mouth is pure bullshite, so go on believing what Obummer is telling you, it is a bloody lie.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;


During the 2008 campaign, Obama said that we should step up our drone attacks in Pakistan, and he has done that, and there are even more compelling reasons to take out the Iranian nuclear weapons complex in the event the Iranian mullahs fail to permit inspections.  If the Russians and Chinese are satisfied that the Iranians are being unreasonable, there will be absolutely no reason for Obama (or any other American president) not to do it.  Let’s put it this way.   Under those circumstances the political downside of not doing it is a lot greater than doing it, and since Obama is a very astute politician, I think he would for sure do it.  If you’re counting on there being some imaginary sympathy from Obama toward the Islamic Revolutionary Party of Iran, I think you’re in for a big surprise.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Drakken:  &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;As you have been told numerous times, your good little buddy Obummer isn&#039;t going to do jackshiit about Iran except appease, period, end of story.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

I don’t see any logic to that analysis at all.  Obama has said many times, that Iran should not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, and all options are on the table to make sure that it doesn&#039;t happen.  His own VP has emphasized in no uncertain terms that Obama is not bluffing. Therefore, so long as the Russians and Chinese are satisfied that all reasonable measures have been taken to allow Iran to verify that it’s nuclear weapons program is peaceful, there is every likelihood that the Russians and Chinese will stand aside and do nothing in the event America goes forward with a surgical strike to remove Iran’s nuclear production facilities.  With Russia and China out of the picture, there would be absolutely no reason not to do it, and I will be very surprised Obama doesn’t authorize Hagel to go forward with it.  Basically, the only way he can lose if if he doesn’t do it, and since Obama is nothing if not a survivor, of course, I expect that he will do it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Drakken :

            You are correct;  it is an A-4 Skyhawk.

             The razorback spine behind the pilot and the vertical stabilizer are somewhat similar in the two planes.

             However, the A-4 is single engine and does not have the anhedral horizontal tail surfaces or outboard wing dihedral of the twin engine F-4.  

             Gee is accurate;  the A-4 is just about out the door in the IAF, now mostly a trainer, and being sold Indonesia, etc.  It is not involved in combat missions.

             objectivefactsmatter illustrates the two aircraft, emphasizing the differences.]]></description>

Obama is intentionally telegraphing US passivity, and I know of no better way to do it than put Hagel in their as your head of defense.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

I hope the Iranians are as mistaken about that as you are.  How could a “ stupid&quot;, “incompetent&quot;, and “ “befuddled&quot; Secretary of Defense possibly blow their nuclear weapons complex completely out of the ground in a single strike?  Impossible, they would probably say. 

TB:&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;I am for a foreign policy that takes nothing off the table, but hides our intentions under the table.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;



Thanks for making my point.  If it turns out that the Iranians think that Hagel is too stupid, too incompetent, and too befuddled to worry about, they could be in for a big surprise.  And so could you.]]></description>

Israel has more nukes than Iran can build in ten years, and by then, they will have more. Iran will ultimately become a glass factory when the Ayatollah&#039;s insanity and arrogance finally goes too far. Evil always steps on it&#039;s own crank just before it tries to grab the brass ring.

I&#039;m not promoting strategies of the past, or future. I&#039;m saying that ideology cannot always precede and dictate strategy if you have any hope of the strategy being effective. Strategy is situational, not ideological. Strategy needs to fit the situation at hand, not prove that what one believes will always be true. I am for a foreign policy that takes nothing off the table, but hides our intentions under the table. If you lose the ability to bluff, your choices are limited to submission or war. Telegraphing your strategy as an inevitable and reliable projection of a rigid, declared ideological position makes a strategy too easy to checkmate.


I don&#039;t want to see soldiers slaughtered. That is your incorrect assumption. On the other hand, telling the world you absolutely, positively won&#039;t put troops on the ground will exponentially, and ironically, increase your need to do that very thing. No bluff zone means no maneuverability. I&#039;m not fond of the &quot;paint yourself into a corner&quot; approach. That doesn&#039;t equate with sending troops all over the world, however.


Lastly, we could withdraw every soldier from every base around the world but it still wouldn&#039;t prevent a nuclear attack. Soldiers in forward positions, with nuclear capabilities, are much more likely to provide a deterrent to nuclear attack than having all our troops hanging around Fort Hood, waiting for the latest Muslim to shoot them in the back.]]></description>

<p>I&#8217;m not promoting strategies of the past, or future. I&#8217;m saying that ideology cannot always precede and dictate strategy if you have any hope of the strategy being effective.
