Now, Iran has a clear field to dominate the Middle East, since Iraq is no longer a threat to them....
Do you have any idea what will happen if the entire Middle East turns their support to Iran , which they will obviously do if we pull out? It is not the price of oil we will have to worry about. Oil WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE to this country at any price.

This guy seems like a looney Dr. Strangelove type. He is showing how ignorant of the Middle East he is when he states that "the entire Middle East turns their support to Iran, which they will obviously do if we pull out." Hardly. Aside from the fact that Iran is Shia, they are also Persian. Arabs and Persians don't mix very well. He lumps them all together, and for good measure, sticks N. Korea in with the "Islamofascists." He is like a genius all right.

Second, Iran hasn't refused to sell oil to us. Indeed, Iran even cooperated with us back in 2002-03 with Afghanistan. Of course, if the President insists on calling them "evil" and sabre-rattles like this guy does, then who could blame them for not selling to us? But even if they don't, it wouldn't matter much. Oil is fungible, and we'll get what we need somewhere else.

CONTROLLING IRAN AND DEMOCRATIZING THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE ONLY CHOICE

lol, he doesn't see any contradiction in this statement?

Jane Fonda did more to prolong the Vietnam war longer than any other human being (as acknowledged by Ho Chi Minh in his writings before he died).

This guy is totally losing it.
