#2 US dominance in Middle East has ended: Haas

The balmy sunny weather patterns for mainland USA are a thing of the past; dark stormy, moist, and misty patterns will replace them for the foreseeable future.

#4 Haas my aass!

Funny how there think-tanking bigwigs go tangentially and they won't recognize reality if it was bitting them into their aass. I guess they operated within their superficial constructs for so long that they developed a form of autism--recognizing only patterns that fit their artifice.

#5 Once again, my old friend Osama's several attempts to UNILATERALLY attack America during the Dems sacred anti-Repub Repub years of Darth Stainious/Saint Bill has nothing to do wid anything, exclusive of Osama also liking Whitney Huston. FOREIGN AFFAIRS > IOW, as wid failed and failing SECULAR SOCIALISM, the burden is ultimately on the USA-West-Capitalism to SAVE AND "JUSTIFY" RADICAL ISLAM AFORE THE FORMER EITHER SURRENDERS TO THE LATTER SAME, ANDOR IS DESTROYED BY THE LATTER SAME.

#10 Well, yes, Raj. Notice how the one thing all Arabs truly fear is a strongly worded letter from the United Nations, signed by Hans Blix.

#12 This is absurd. We have projected power in the region. I agree that the situation in Iraq has caused a perception problem, but we have the ability to prevent anybody from driving or flying in that part of the world should we need to take the gloves off.

If you don't agree, try this thought experiment: Iran sends its ground forces to attack us in Iraq and its Navy into the Arabian Sea to attack our carrier battle groups. What chain of events can happen in response that do not end with "the US wins?"
