I got it from the WSJ online. It stated that there was “gunfire exchanged” and the Iranians withdrew. That was enough to call it a repelling. Iranians still held one well but the other three were “liberated”. It seems that horizontal drilling by the Iranians is at the core of the issue.

“the Crusader American military, playing the role of deaf, dumb and blind.”????

This is simply a case of Iran testing the waters with America (and to a lesser degree, Iraq).
American Military standing on the sidelines (apparently, but not actually), was America testing the Iraqi military to see if they are self-sufficient and if the training has been effective.

If things would have gone badly for the Iraqi Army, we were totally prepared to take them down hard.
However, there was no need. The Iraqi Army performed extremely well, and repelled the Iranians back into Iran.

The question is…… Why are we questioning this?

Just nuke the entire world and kill everybody. We'll find if there is a god or not and who’s religion is the true religion.

I think Canada is tops. Yet no one is invading them or targeting their citizens on a global scale. Why is that? Could be because they aren't out stealing oil.

As to Iraq, the entire time Bush/Cheney were there Iran was sitting by grinning that the destablizing of that country was being done for them. Hardly had to shell a penny. Invading Iraq and destablizing it was one of the dumbest things we have ever done. Cheneyco. gambled and put us in the poorhouse with their bad bet. Now we couldn't maintain the region if we had to. The thing is to support a military you need revenue from a large and prosperous middle class. Our middle class is becoming unemployed, homeless and dying from lack of simple affordable medical care. The financial well is drying up thanks to a shortsided and myopic plan hatched by our beloved oil pirates.

GOP= Grifting Oil Pirates

Greed always bites the hand that feeds it. Cheneyco made the fatal error of believing that people in the United States would not only fight and die for its hostile takeover of Iraq, but that we would also gladly and willingly become jobless, sick and homeless for that “noble” cause of making the rich richer as well. The French Revolution saw King Louis engage in foolish and expensive wars at the demise of his middle class and ignored their plights, endlessly demanding more. We saw what happened with that stroke of genius.

If they want the oil well back, they can take it with us backing them up. Why should America go charging in for first blood? Contrary to the lies and propaganda this was never about Warfer Oil.

The article is an interesting one and kudos to Kern for posting it. But it is also absurd. Somebody is always going to attack America no matter what we do or don't do. It's part of being the best.
