I wonder how Obama will react

[jaminjim]

A possible new problem for the U.S. Will we get involved?The Associated Press: Iraqi official: Iranians seized Iraqi oil well

[OntarioVanMan]

I have been watching this develop this morning..

I think the Iraqi government will deal with this and of course with the Yanks giving their "expert" (cough) advice....

[Poorboy]

Obumma isn't going to do anything about it at all! The boy has no Intestinal Fortitude to Stand up to Iran as has been seen by Irans Nuclear Program! However He will Probably Apologize to Iran for Not Having that Oil Field Closer to their Border! Face it, The Wimp in Charge is a Capon!!

Actually Obama can not do anything about it...Iraq is a soveriegn country and has their own army now and it is their problem...

Wow ....... what a concept ...... I dunno ......

You mean that other countries could actually manage their own affairs, and their relations with others ....... all without our interfering and sticking our noses in it ?

Is that even possible ?

I mean doesn't that violate some inherent law of the universe or something ?

What will become of us, if others do not need us to lend our vastly superior moral insights into their affairs, being the disinterested honest brokers that we are ?

Will we become irrelevant ?

What national purpose could we possibly have, if no one desires to avail themselves of our vast wisdom ? (as evidenced by innumerable postings here in the EO SoapBox )

It appears now they may not even be Iranian soldiers....

Be careful Rlent..you are treading shallow water over hallowed ground...

[RLENT]

Nah .... I ain't treadin' ..... might be pizzin' though .....

No National interest in an Iranian attack on Iraq? If Iran was really behind it, and they likely are in one form or another, it has grave implications on our economy, the worlds economy and security and of the region and the world. I see no reason to worry. We did not worry when Hitler did stuff like this and it cause no problems for us or the world. We did not worry when Japan did stuff like this and it caused no problems for us or the world. We did not worry when Soviet Russia did stuff like this and that caused no problems for us or the world. Oh the shame that history was either never taught in school or it was ignored. Why is it that people think that doing nothing will work this time when it never has worked though out history?

Roll your eyes all you want OVM, I don't see Canada doing anything in the world right now. Not that we are, be at least we have a better excuse, we have a flaming wimp commie of a pretend CIC!!

Excuse me? No one did not say not to be worried....Said the US should let Iraq take care of their own business first befoe anyone sticks their nose in...

Some get real tired of this US intervention in the name of "protecting our freedom" crap. When it is more protecting our investments and protecting our dominate position.
This paranoa garbage that is thrown around this forum...is nothing more then excuse to spend trillion of dollars on a military that does nothing but defend US industries overseas...

Just as we let France handle Nazi Germany? Just like we let most of Eastern Europe handle Soviet Russia? Which is better? Let the entire mess fall apart, or, take on Iran as I feel we should be doing? It is likely that we will have to take them on sooner or later, the longer we wait, the harder it will be. Just like with Japan, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. That sit back, do nothing, and wait attitude last century cost the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

That is how it is. Canada and England were right in being upset that we did not help at the beginning of WWII. If take those sorry watchamacallits on now, we would be right. Canada, England, and the rest of the near normal countries should join. The stakes for them is just as high as it is for us.

YOU guys started the Japanese war! The Japs attacked YOU...and I wish sometimes the US hadda stayed out of the German theater so some wouldn't have to be subjected to WE saved the world crap...

Japan attacked China in 1937. Rape and murder was the rule, not, the exception, there. As it was in Korea and French Indo-China. Japan was a member of the Axis powers, a "grand" bunch of fellows to say the least.

I guess we could have stayed out of Europe since the rise of Hitler was Europe's fault, why should have we cared if they all goose stepped over there. Nothing wrong with what they did over there, eh?

What is going on now in the world is no different. Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are doing the same kinda stuff that Nazi Germany and Japan did. Fight 'em now or later, or, accept defeat now and live under their rule. Take your pick.

I can read an encyclopedia but unless it was written by Japanese people or Gore I don't think anyone established that we in fact started the war.
