re: #201 Kosh’s Shadow

Right. We should be dealing with Iran ourselves; none of this “unclench your fists” bullshit.
Iranians in Iraq that are supplying weapons and aid to terrorists should be tried and executed as war criminals, not released.

But letting Kurds attack inside Iran for their own purposes is different. We are not (yet) trying to attack Iran, just stop its attacks in Iraq.
Now, if we wanted to use the Kurds as part of a combined attack on Iran, that would be different. But letting them go off on their own gives Iran an excuse to meddle in Iraq.

Iran has nothing to fear from the USA now. Obama will not do a thing to stop them in anyway and they know that. They are free to do anything they wish in Lebanon, with Hamas or even in Iraq and there will be no price to pay for them. The mullahs are laughing at Obama right now. He is weak and will not react and they know it.
