1 nuclear submarine = 4,000 horses and 23,487 bayonets

Hello again, tom:

Thought it through??? I'm not smart enough to think.. But I AM smart enough to look at a map.. THAT casual observation tells me that Iran and Syria don't share a border. There's a country in the way, and those people may NOT wanna give 'em a path...

Look. You can try to cover for this dildo, but it doesn't make him look smarter...

Dude, if you don't see the Syria-Iran alliance you're the only one. Oh, and they have these things called planes that fly in the air right over countries and stuff.

Exclusive: Western report - Iran ships arms, personnel to Syria via Iraq

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Iran has been using civilian aircraft to fly military personnel and large quantities of weapons across Iraqi airspace to Syria to aid President Bashar al-Assad in his attempt to crush an 18-month uprising against his government, according to a Western intelligence report seen by Reuters.

Hello again, Carol:

It's better than that... Or worse, if you're a Romney guy... Only 14 Trident submarines, when taken together, carry almost HALF of our thermonuclear fire power. Think about it, FOURTEEN boats..

Hello again, Steve:

So, Romney was talking about a path to the sea in the AIR, huh? Really?? Dude! If planes can fly where they want, why couldn't Romney say the Iranians have a PATH to our DOOR??

Like I said to tom.. You can try to cover up for this dufus but it doesn't help your credibility with ME.

Pay attention here ex, I know you have a short attention span these days...

You just said, "there's a country in the way, and those people may NOT wanna give 'em a path..."

Those things called planes that fly in the air right over countries and stuff give 'em a path.

[tomder55]

Of course before the Obots screwed up the status of forces agreement ,the Iranians would not consider overflight of Iraqi air space

[speechlesstx]

And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a pretty clear Russian-Syrian-Iranian alliance? And doesn't the Russian navy have a Mediterranean Sea presence? And isn't Syria on the Mediterranean?

Sometimes you just have to lead these people by the hand.

Hello again, wingers:

Sometimes you just have to lead these people by the hand.

Pay attention. Nobody is denying that Syria and Iran are friends.. I'm DENYING that Syria is Iran's PATH to the sea.

Now, you can spin it anyway you like, but ordinary regular people KNOW what a path is, and it AIN'T in the air.

Romney doesn't know his way around the world. When his lips move, it's John Bolton speaking. If you liked Iraq, you're going to LOVE Iran.

[tomder55]

If John Bolton is his advisor then all the more reason to vote for Romney.

Iranian warships already docked in Syria this year and it's pretty obvious to all except the UN that they don't like Israel very much, just down the coast from Syria if my geography is correct.

Hello again, Steve:

I don't know what's happened to you... Can you not follow the discussion?? Over on post #396 I made fun of Romneys' IGNORANCE of geography.

THAT has been the thrust of my discussion, and NOTHING else.. Nobody is saying that Iran and Syria aren't friends, and nobody is saying that either of them like Israel.

But, NONE of that has to do with Romney NOT knowing that Iran has it's own access to the sea.. He WASN'T talking about airplanes... You know it, and I know it. As you pointed out, airplanes don't NEED paths.. The more you SAY he was talking about airplanes, the more it becomes EVIDENT that you KNOW he's a dumbkoff.

Since you KNOW he's an IGNORANT man, why would you want to put the reins of the nation into his hands? Do you really hate it here that bad??

And we have ships in the Straits of Hormuz, and everybody knows that.

And Obama thinks there are at least 57 states. What's your point, that a word misspoken or omitted equals ignorance? How do you explain Biden then?

I remind you again that you were the one talking about "a country a country in the way, and those people may NOT wanna give 'em a path..." and that [B]my response was pointing out the irrelevance of that claim. But like I said, I know how short your attention span is so I get that you can't stick to what even you were saying.

Nevertheless, try this little exercise, Syria is Iran's logical path to the "Mediterranean" sea. You really don't see a strategic reason for having a naval presence based in Syria as opposed to the Suez route? Dude, open your own eyes. Here's a little geography for a visual reason why:

Hello again,

During the next administration, the Middle East will blow its head off. Those two wars Bush started and LOST are going to come back to haunt us. If Romney is elected, John Bolton, I mean Romney OR Israel will DO something that sets it off.

Frankly, Obama is no different. Except he knows about paths and oceans and stuff.

excon

[tomder55]

It was such a big gaffe that neither Bob Schieffer or Obama questioned the statement. Of course a more nuianced view of the statement would also include a strategic pipeline for oil and gas transportation to the Mediterranean.

Nah that can't be it.

Maybe those sanctions aren't as ironclad as the President thinks .

Tom, desperation has kicked in.

[speechlesstx]

And we have ships in the Straits of Hormuz, and everybody knows that.

That was the first time an Iranian warship has been in the Mediterranean since 1979.

[tomder55]

Yup they are resorting to the tired old Republicans are stupid meme.

Should we sink them now, or wait?
