Here is a thread on this issue

I have been saying for a long time America can not invade Iran as they will get their arse handed to them on a silver plate - America has
unequivocally done an about face - they engaged in a game of chicken with Iran and came off second best - how VERY SAD - it spells a total loss of
hegemony and signals to the entire world that America has lost its power - to have backed down - which they have - is a complete loss of face.
Every sign pointed to this - only myopic Americans thought otherwise - India gave a direct warning about any possibility of strikes as did china,
Pakistan and russia - direct warnings over any threat to their long term energy interests would be met with support for iran - the U.S. simply could
not in any way continue with their filibuster.
Iran demonstrated their long range missiles with a reach to western Europe, their s 300 air defence system (the most sophisticated on earth) and it is
widely rumoured the sunburn ss-n-22 missile, along with 250 Russian made mig fighters - Israel deployed 100.
But none of this is the real reason - the fact is that the d8, along with Latin American countries, china, India, Pakistan and Russia have all agreed
to start moving away from the American dollar as the basis for trading oil. This is the single biggest factor which determined this and for anyone who
has been actually LISTENING to Armadinajads comments this is what he has CONSTANTLY been referring to. It would spell and collapse of the American
economy as the dollar would fall through the floor and there would be mass selling of sovereign funds - good bye U.S. economy.
Bush has basically been TOLD that he has to pull his head in as there is more at stake than his ego - further- it has come to light that Cheney's
push for war has been met with outright hostility and revolt - the military has basically told him to stick it.
There it is - if the negotiators can convince the Iranians not to switch base currencies then this will be a massive victory for the U.S. - however
they will certainly be turning up with cap in hand. That is for sure.
Of course this is all going to be a bit hard to swallow for the insular, myopic, parochial, flag wavers around here who simply think America is some
Uber power from the movies and cant be touched . . . . . but the reality is you are staring straight in the face of defeat - you have just been
completely pantsed by the Iranians......and well done to them - you deserve it.
