I Am Not Politically Correct

According to Max Blumenthal – on the Jimmy Dore show – Soleimani worked with the U.S. fighting ISIS. Now, the U.S. has turned him into a terrorist to suit their own purpose. I always thought it was strange that the U.S. designated a sovereign nation’s army a “terrorist group.” Imagine someone doing that with our military.

Anyway, even though I’m a conservative and Blumenthal is on the Left, I find his claims interesting.

Did you know that Iran kill 1000s of their own people just because they are protesters....you think us coming out of Iran would leave a peacful regime and no one else would be killed there...

@Platinum if the US goes "into" Iran it can win a conventional war in a few weeks, at worst, months.

But it then has to have a long term military and economic committment on a scale like nothing since the Marshall Plan and have the support of allies. Otherwise it will be even more expensive and lead to even more deaths. A country can be defeated in months. To win it over takes years.

The US has not won a shooting war since 1945, because no one since Eisenhower has learned the lessons of it, nor needed his own parting advice as president. (The current Iranian situation is partly Ike's fault of course but that's beside the point here).

His sometime successor has undoubtedly some virtues (it takes a business genius to get a casino bankrupt after all) but learning from history and taking advise are not among them.

@Murmurs and if you moved out and left them in any type of peace, they would be killing 1000s of of their own people, maybe millions...Iraq killed millions of its own people and the UN do nothing...
