And now those great Humanitarians in Iran have Offered Help

 

The funny thing is, if the rest of the Arab* world gave a **** about Palestinians, they wouldn't have kept them dirt-poor and stuck in refugee camps for the past sixty years. Palestinians are looked down on by Arabs just as much as by Israelis - they're just a convenient excuse to the Arab world to perpetuate the conflict with Israel.

 

 

 

 

*And yes, I know Iran isn't "Arab". They play the same damn game, regardless.

And now those great Humanitarians in Iran have Offered Help

 

People have to understand that about 99% of what is said is bullpoop for the masses- if someone actually said yeah send some ships, there would be about a hundred reasons why they'd love to but can't . If there is ever any military action between Israel and Iran it is going to be through gross miscalculation not intention. Israel would love for us to attack Iran but I don't think even our government is that stupid but I've been wrong before. Most of the leaders in the Muslim world are not devout Muslims, that crap is for the poor huddled masses just like most of our family value politicians are out cheating and drinking, 72 virgins in the afterlife? no thanks I'd rather have 6 whores in a Dubai 5 star hotel room. These leaders aren't looking for some grand Islamic rebirth they are looking for ways to stay in power and then transfer that power to their sons.

Miscalcualtion? perhaps you've forgotten about the wars in 1948 and 1973.

As far as I know, Iran played no part in either.

The point was that wars in that region do not need to be started due to miscalculation. Rather, the historical record is behind the concept of intentional aggression. Sorry for the lack of clarity.

It's about time Pasta got some respect.

 

They must have some McGruber in Gaza if they can make weapons out of potato chips, margarine, fishing rods, and goats.

Don't underestimate the lethality of a buttered, fishing-pole toting goat.

 

I did once.

 

Once. :wallbash:

Fishing r-o-d.

A fishing pole is a piece of bamboo cane with some fishing line tied to the end of it.

No self respecting goat, buttered or otherwise, would be carrying a fishing pole.

Harumph.

I doubt that either Iran or Turkey are actually going to follow through with their threats to send escorts. Probably just posturing in both cases.

Never thought about it, but now that you mention it, "hand me my pole and reel" is a little odd sounding...

If I remember rightly, Iraqi insurgents almost blew up Paul Wolfowitz with a goat-powered mobile rocket launcher.

Maybe, maybe not.
