Quoted from Box A Rox

it was a defensive war fought on Iranian soil.
~The Iran Iraq war was fought on both Iraq and Iranian soil.

Please expand.  Was Iran fighting a offensive war to capture Iraqi territory?  Was the US siding with Iraq to protect them from the Iranian attack.  I'd love to hear your historical perspective on this issue.

Quoted from bumblethru

Don't know what the hell is the truth anymore!

War propaganda is all lies.  

Quoted from Libertarian4life

But why?

It is clearly an act of provocation and aggression.

When a spy satellite from China/Russia/EU/Israel flies over the U.S at over 100 miles up in space and takes pictures, is that an 'act of provocation and aggression'? .... This drone was located in international waters. Nations spy on each other everyday and all the time.

Quoted from Libertarian4life

Some jackass drone operator probably said watch me piss these guys off.

No

Quoted from Libertarian4life

The Persian Gulf is barely wide enough to consider any of it international waters.

Learn to read a map....The chokepoint is the Strait of Hormuz

Quoted from Libertarian4life

How is parking aircraft carriers and spy planes at the edges of Iran not supposed to be taken as a threat?

Because they haven't done anything to provoke an attack against them.

Quoted from Libertarian4life

The Russian sub was 275 miles away and the US panicked.

Really?...Show me something where we 'panicked' about some Oscar on patrol well over 200 miles off our shore.

Is this an act of 'provocation and aggression'?

Quoted from BuckStrider

... 200 miles off our shore.

Is this an act of 'provocation and aggression'?

275 miles is a big difference from 12 miles.

When we start letting other countries spy from 12 miles away, then I will accept us doing unto others.

I understand your defiant right wing like viewpoint, but why is it necessary?

The mideast residents don't want us there. Buzzing their borders is provocation.

And when something happens people like you are the first to condemn US for not having intelligence to prevent it from happening...you want it every which way as long as it suits
you...and Cicero too!  HYPOCRITES!

Think of it as if it was happening to us. For some reason many Americans have this attitude that we can do whatever we wish and to fckn bad if others don't like it, they're the ones who act shocked when blowback happens.

Yes, Yes, I know....America has an endless amount of enemies around the world that want to kill us because we are free.

"America has an endless amount of enemies around the world that want to kill us because we were free".

Quoted from CICERO

Yes, Yes, I know....America has an endless amount of enemies around the world that want to kill us because we are free.

When ever I've heard the phrase " they want to kill us because we are free", it's always been coming
from the Right.

Maybe?  Why is Obama bombing six countries with drones?  Why does your left democrat president killing them?

My guess... Probably the same reason your Right Wing Republican President did.  

Quoted from CICERO

Yes, Yes, I know....America has an endless amount of enemies around the world that want to kill us because we are free.

And the fact that you think this is the reasoning shows your true lack of understanding.....and don't ask me to explain, cuz that doesn't work with you and we both know it!!!

Quoted from Box A Rox

Ah...We agree!  They both spill the blood of our young for defense contractors and oil contractors.
