"According to the official, the bases are only precautionary measures in case of a military strike against Israel by Iran."

And certainly this couldn't be perceived as threatening to Iran.

Not like we're goading them into war or anything....

lol, seriously, it's like we're on one side of the fence and the Iranians are on the other side, and our guys are throwing rocks and taunting them into the fight... yet there's plenty of people ::cough:: ORiley ::cough:: out there spitting shit like "they keep advancing they're nuc - U - lar program!!! ahh! The scary terrorists, AHHH!!!"

I heard an excellent comparison today that I think fits perfectly that is very obvious and you have probably heard a thousand times before that I never thought of... Terrorism today is exactly like Communism was in the 50's. People just need something to be afraid of it seems...

What will it be in our kids generation, from the way things are going, it might be Secularism...

I don't think it'd be "goading them into a war"

but it certainly is a warning. I would guess it is more of an attempt to curb their influence in Iraq, than to prepare for any Israeli-Iranian confrontation.

I've heard that too, but perhaps there are things to be afraid of.

I am afraid of an Iranian-Israeli conflict. I am afraid of Iran gaining more power in the region via Iraq.

And this enemy in my eyes, is more scary than the USSR. The USSR was at least a rational enemy. These extremist islamo-fascists...are literally fucking insane.

And I would say that the USSR was certainly something to be feared. They had nukes pointed at us for Christ's sake.
