You mean Iraq?

But even then, that couldn't be farther from the truth. General Kevin Bergner in Iraq said himself that there has actually been no evidence acquired to link Bush's accusations of the insurgents receiving weapons to Iran.

Well, they are actually a major society in the world and they are actually pretty powerful. They've got us by the balls in oil imports, and if they decided to quit giving us the oil and shift their trade focus to Russia, their ally, it would cause oil here in the US to skyrocket to over $250 A BARREL.

Well, one of the only real reasons why the Iraqi army was "mauled" was due to the fact that Hussein's soldiers really weren't as dedicated to him as he thought. They were not impressed by his strict rule, and they really didn't give a damn what happened to him. In fact, hardly any were killed. Most surrendered.

And President Ahmadinejad himself has stated that the last thing he wants between Iran and the United States is war... what makes me laugh so hard though is how John McCain even claimed that President Ahmadinejad had said he wanted to "wipe Israel off the map", which is actually WRONG. He said, and I quote:

"The Imam [Khomeini] said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time."
