JPost: IAEA Confirms Iran months away from having nuke

that's some scary stuff right there...

 

Yep. The struggle continues.

 

yes sir couch general..

 

Not good.

Sorry for the tangent but this strikes me as another example of how the invasion of Iraq has backfired. We went in because of a threat of WMD and also with the belief that our example would cow others from seeking WMD. Instead its only spurred Iran and NK to speed up their programs.

 

isnt israel supposed to disarm themselves?

 

I don't think Iran should be allowed to have nuclear weapons.

 

I don't think any nation should be allowed

 

I've been beating this drum since before the war, Sishir. basso is wearing earplugs and bellowing, "Make it stop!!"


Keep D&D Civil.

 

Allowed? Since when can we dictate the policies of other nations? oh, wait...

 

Liberals, it's time to start formulating plans for how to declare defeat, cut and run, and demoralize our soldiers. (best to get a head start on it)

 

Why? You haven't been able to provide any proof that any of the liberals on this board have ever done such a thing yet.

 

Wrong message board...

 

In a lot of ways I agree. But who are we to say who can have them and who can't?

 

I'm going to suggest that N Korea and Iran were working on Nukes long before George W. was elected President and were going to work on them regardless of who was president. Nukes give those countries leverage with many more countries than just the U.S. (Israel for example).

Also didn't N. Korea pull a scam on the U.S and U.N. in the 90's to get the very nuclear reactors they are using to refine the necessary uranium?

You can argue that George W. was the straw that made Iran and N. Korea come out into the OPEN with regards to their program (you could also argue that he was the final straw that motovated Ghadafi to stop his program).

 

It is without a doubt a tough call, but in this case I think the choice is clear.

 

Because under normal adminis..circumstances, the world looks to the US to provide balance to rouge threats...the de facto policeman if you will.

Some may argue that the UN is/should be, but it's always 1,000's of innocent deaths too late.

 

Then both posed a more viable threat to America than Iraq did. And now we have our military resources spread so thin that, even if provoked, we can't do a damn thing about it. Do you think Iran and N. Korea don't know that?

 

We already defeated ourselves when we blew our wad in Iraq in order to strengthen Iran's position.

I still marvel at the stupidity of our leaders. still.
