Iraq is a supplier of both gas and oil. The Russians have their own gas and oil, so actually it would be China but more likely the reason we haven't done anything is because probably France and some other European countries get their oil from Iran as well. I see those two power blocks fighting over Iran but not us.
I wouldn't invade. I would just degrade their ability to make nukes with air power.That might be a problem if they had located this U-235 stuff near their oil fields but they probably buried this stuff under a school or hospital. I don't think China or Russia would say a word but the UK would and most European nations would not like it.
In war you don't win unless you get unconditional surrender or both sides loose in a long protracted war like that 8 year first Gulf war. And for people that want to bring up the cold war, yeah that ran the Russians out of funding but a least we only had to police half of the world then. Policing all of it is more than any one country can afford.
So by your logic the US won in Korea. I don't think so. It's still divided. We still have to spend money keeping troops in South Korea. Iraq just ran out of money so they went for an easier target, Kuwait. Syria closed the pipeline to Turkey. That stopped Iraq as much as anything and led up to the second Gulf War. After WWI to WWII this should be clear. Don't go to war unless you absolutely have too. Don't just kill the leader. That leads to insurgency. You have to completely take over their country to call it a win. If you don't do that then both sides loose.
Why we went in there to start with is anybody's guess. Afghanistan, sure, but Iraq didn't have the capability to do much after the Second Gulf War or Desert Storm under the first Bush and they really weren't a threat to us then. The real reason might not have been oil and it sure wasn't nukes. That may be a secret attempt to put troops on both sides of Iran. In 50 years when everything is declassified, maybe we will know. Right now as long and as protracted as it is and what it has done to the economies of the world, I would call it a loss for both sides.
I just don't think there is one single country that would want to take us on in a full blown war. With just one Ohio class sub, we could drop more explosive power on one country than has ever been used in the history of all wars put together. Maybe China could do that to us but they wouldn't be around either if they did. Not hurting the feelings of our allies is probably one reason we just haven't leveled their nuclear program.
Do you really think Russia and China would actually follow through with start a full blown war with us over Iran? We just really need to degrade their military by maybe bombing any place that produces U-235. Those facilities are not small. As far as the Russians and Chinese, I don't have a problem with letting both of the police that particular place so they can get their oil and gas. We wont hit part with our Air Force.
Iran has mountains and all types of terrain. They didn't defeat Iraq. It was a stalemate. The only reason Russia and China would even care is over the oil and gas. Bomb certain targets and let them be set back another 5 years. I don't think you can let them get nukes or one will be over here blowing up DC one day.
Nobody mentions Amazon's AppStore? If you can sideload it works just like Google's Market except they have more stuff that you can pay for to get rid of the adds so a developer is not tied down completely to the Android Market.
No, we already get the parts from them. So why we they care when they already know how. China is sitting back letting us police the world while they beat up on us economically first and then militarily later on when our whole system collapses. I think that's their plan. Give more rope for us to hang ourselves on. They can set back and watch while some nukes acquired through them goes to one guy that parks a van in DC and flips a switch. They will let Iran do that dirty work for them in the actual supplying it to somebody that wants to commit suicide so they go go be with Allah and 1000 virgins.
All I want to know is why they would do it for that reason. Even Allah can't supply you that many virgins no matter you for him. They don't exist. You might get a couple of costly prostitutes though for doing that. I dunno even if things was really bad I can't see the logic. People should want to live.
Why not? They are more of a danger than Iraq ever was but maybe that was part of the plan as we now have bases on both sides of them that are pretty close to any targeting,
Wouldn't you think the receiver on the ground would be more powerful than what would be in the air, but if it is real and undamaged then that means something entirely different is going on? That would suck if Iran was capable of breaking our encryption and fly the thing down mostly in tact. Maybe it was just a low flying one that took a bullet from an AK.
Yeah simple giant magnetron and point it towards the drone. I'm a little worried about pilot-less planes or drones. What we really need is autonomous ones that can't be jammed. Yeah, a robot army. Easier to train.
I do. It's called crap equipment when corners are cut that wont stay in it's channel. For those that don't understand the concept, think of your land line. The signal needs filtering that costs another 1c capacitor. Well, you see with that cordless phone who cares but it sure messes with everything else.
Did you think the FCC would actually ban something because of this these days? Things could play better within the same frequencies if every device was made to. I bet you would get a 50% bump in bandwidth just by doing that.
Well you postpone one problem while you create another to be exact but more problems are just more opportunities to screw something up. The FCC....gotta go.
We'll the power company could also not be getting good equipment that leaks across frequencies. I remember back in the 70's man we used to get CB traffic through the TV. Cheap Japanese junk as where now we have cheap Chinese stuff that falls apart.
No, clearly the iPAD is the most popular tablet on the market for now. Hey maybe I would be interested for like maybe $200. They make money off of their games called apps, yeah that's how a-pple works.
Slashdot Mirror
I want my check Google.
Wait until next year. He'll get it then.
They also made the PC or maybe it was the computer in general person of the year back in the 80's or 90's. Next up a terrorist is person of the year.

Typo Nazi.
I heard they were supposed to be working on that.
Sarcasm OK.

Yeah man where is that self destruct?
Right!

We are also building more autonomy in. What's next? Cylons?
Where did you read that? That sounds really stupid if true. You wouldn't have to even be as good as a wifi hacker.
Why not? They are more of a danger than Iraq ever was but maybe that was part of the plan as we now have bases on both sides of them that are pretty close to any targeting,
AND...had something to do with the Kennedy assassination.

Maybe batteries would be better because they have higher voltage which a ball bearing can't, sadly, as yet reproduce.
I have also noticed less reliability in the power here when the put those smart meters in.
I do. It's called crap equipment when corners are cut that wont stay in it's channel. For those that don't understand the concept, think of your land line.

And this self said I wanna be free.
Look for it soon in your country too.
