Iran Doesn't Need Nuclear Weapons

I imagine they are smart enough to know that. I also imagine that our "enemies" the globe over are smiling while they wait for us to go broke, knowing it can't be much longer. All they have to do is hold out that threat of nukes and WMD and make some attack somewhere, no matter how small, to convince us that they are a threat to us (how absurd!), and we will continue to finance the war machine - on money borrowed from foreign governments! Actually, they don't even have to waste propaganda dollars - our military-industrial masters and their high-level slaves (aka Congress) do it for them.

When you consider the enormous differential in cost of fighting our war against the Taliban you will realize that they have already won.

While a Marine Corps combat brigade [...] burns up around 500,000 gallons of fuel a day (or $24 million, at an average of $48 per gallon), the marines’ insurgent enemies use a tiny fraction of that. They ride around in pickup trucks, or walk. They do not move in Humvees that average four miles per gallon.

The cost-benefit advantage the insurgents enjoy in combat occasionally features on jihadist websites. One video clip makes the point that an improvised explosives device that costs $30 to make can knock out a $3.2 million Bradley Armored Fighting Vehicle.

Both the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have so far been financed with borrowed money that makes up part of the country’s deficit. The 2009 budget year, which ended in September, set an all-time high with $1.42 trillion. In 2010, it is expected to reach close to $1.5 trillion.
