What an optimist..

Rep. John Porter, a republican from Nevada, points out that if we lose Iraq oil prices will be $9.00 a gallon. Frankly I think he is an optimist. If we leave Iraq, Iran will expand its influence all over the ME. The flow of oil in the gulf will become completely dependant on Iranian actions. Considering Iran wants to become the de facto regional super power and profits the most when oil prices are as high as they can get, it is a virtual guarantee that Iran will do whatever it needs to to create the instability and speculation to drive oil prices up. And the West, fearing the desastrous impact of higher oil prices, is sure to become paralyzed. Iran will not only stretch its influence everywhere in the ME, but it will be free to pursue both its nuclear program and any acts of terrorism it wants. Nobody will want to get in the way for fear of an Iranian blockade of oil that would tank the economies of the planet and plunge us into a likely global war that would defenitely end up going nuclear. And in the machinations to avoid that horrible scenario, our actions or lack of decicive actions will all but guarantee that outcome.

Some of us get it. Not apparently the idiot lefty BDS infected retards that make up the majority of the comments on this post. To them it is just a scare tactic or validation of their idiotic unhinged many beliefs that an Iraq with Saddam in charge would be a much better place. But what comes through free & clear is that their commentary isn’t based on anything but a radical hatred of both Bush & the US. I am sure that if you get these moonbats to talk they would find a way to blame Bush for anything they didn’t like. Including the fact they are insane. My favorite commentary was the one about if we left Iraq Turkey & Iran would simply split Iraq up and all would be well. I am sure this idiot says that is also the result of us leaving the South Vietnamese out to dry back when. The communists took over and all was well. Of course the millions that were butchered through South East Asia by communists after the left forced us to abandon an ally, should not be pointed out.

And those that think abandoning Iraq now - so these moonbats can finally score the loss they have mortgaged their political future on - will mean just a few million people in the ME will die are being naive. South East Asia didn’t have one of the most important commodities, absolutely indispensable for every modern industrial economy, as the nations in the Middle East do. So when we abandon Iraq the trouble is guaranteed not to remain in the region and affect the globe. But who cares when what you need is a result that will make you to be able to continue to say that America is the problem and Bush is evil? Ask yourself why these people have such a vested interest in an outcome that is disastrous to not just America, but the planet in general, and can’t come clean on that even when it is so obvious of how bad things will go if they get their way?

UPDATE: Since I am sure most moonbats will be quick to dismiss the Iranian problem, I figured I better link Victor Davis Hanson’s article about how to deal with Iran and why. Hanson is a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. Hanson understands conflicts, politics, and the reality on the ground in that part of the world. Of course I expect that the moonbats will ignore him because he isn’t saying what they want to hear (funny how libs only think that experts say what they want to hear huh?) about how we should cut & run. The fact is that Iran current leadership is bad news, and that there will be horrible consequences for the world unless the US deals with Iran. And that means we stay in Iraq and keep it stable. That loss these people have banked their political future on should not be allowed to happen.
