Remember: Iran has NO nukes.
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 11:59 AM by spanone
Iran has NO nuclear bombs. Period. Nada. Nyet. None. Zip. Zero. Zilch.

I'm not an Iranian fan, nor do I condemn their hatred for Israel, but

you can bet Johnny Boy Bolton has got the UN all lathered up and ready to war.

2. BUT, they have the US plans we sent in a foolish effort to set Iran up.
And, don't forget the pressure being put on US pols by Israel. That is substantial.

7. I repeat: Iran has NO nukes. Regardless... the fact remains.
:toast:

I hear the same scenario used in Iraq. Maybe six months, maybe years. Since the Bush* regime, 'maybe' seems to be enough to go to war over.

11. We agree, but isn't horrible how the drumbeats for war have begun?
We will be having a world war, very soon.

Think they'll use the same lies as before, and just replace the q with an n?

5. Yes, but don't they have "program-related activities"....

Like buildings, vehicles, people.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Saddam Hussein is ready to use weapons of mass destruction.
Version 2.1 - Saddam has weapons of mass destruction
Version 2.2 - Saddam has nuclear weapons
Version 2.3 - Saddam has biological agents he's never accounted for
Version 2.3.1 - The trailers are mobile labs for producing chemical weapons
Version 2.3.2 - Unmanned aircraft are ready to spread Saddam's biological weapons
Version 2.4 - Saddam's going to make more of all these weapons
Version 2.5 - We all know where the weapons are
Version 2.5.1 - Well, Saddam has used weapons of mass destruction
Version 2.5.2 - Iraq is a big country. We'll find the weapons eventually.
Version 2.5.3 - Saddam had weapons of mass destruction programs
Version 2.5.4 - Saddam had "weapons of mass destruction program related activities"
Version 2.5.5 - David Kay? Who's David Kay?
Version 2.6 - It's not about misleading the American people - Saddam Hussein is gone and that's the most important thing

6. Don't forget, we are a BULLY empire we only attack the weak.
Iran having no defense against us, and no ability to retaliate, is one of the rationales for thinking it is OK to attack.

8. We cannot afford invading Iran
unless we reinstate the draft. I don't think they have nukes either. If they do, so be it. Guess what, nukes are a deterrent. If a country possesses nukes, chances are that that country won't be attacked or will attack. I don't see Iran using its nukes against Israel or vice versa and I also don't see Iran and Israel fighting either. Nukes will mean we will look for diplomatic solutions.
Just imagine what would happen to Iran if they used their nukes. They would be flattened in a matter of seconds. America probably has submarines ready to take out Iran if that sort of thing happens.
So I say let them make their nukes. It's for the good anyway.
