Posted By israeligirl1 8 months, 3 weeks ago in News

Little more than a year after U.S. spy agencies concluded that Iran had halted work on a nuclear weapon, the Obama administration has made it clear that it believes there is no question that Tehran is seeking the bomb.

    We can only hope that Obama develops some foreign relation skills early on. Just think, a pres with foreign relational skills, what a concept.

    Ah my! The usual zionists trying to dupe Americans into their racist relgious wars in the mideast. Too many zionists in the Obama administration. Time to cut the big israeli albatross off of America's neck.

    US Intel Confirms Iran Not Developing Nukes

    February 13, 2009 "Press TV" -- -The new chief of US intelligence has confirmed the findings of a 2007 intelligence report that Iran has no nuclear weapons program.

    Dennis Blair told the Senate Intelligence Committee that his organization has assessed that Tehran does not have nuclear weapons design and weaponization work.

    A National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), issued in November 2007 by the sixteen US intelligence agencies, clarified that Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapons program.

    The 2007 intelligence report was widely seen as a setback for Bush administration efforts to pressure Iran and halt its nuclear program.

    The UN nuclear watchdog, which has carried out the highest number of inspections in its history on Iranian nuclear sites, has also found nothing to indicate that the program has diverted toward weaponization....

    Fta: "They've made more progress in the last five years than in the previous 10,"

    I guess all that saber rattling worked really good. It's time to rethink our middle east policies.

      The idea that they have no weapons program is silly.. why wouldn't they? The Israelis do, we do. Which brings the question; how do we have the moral authority to tell them to stop? if it isn't moral authority, then what? might makes right? that would just encourage them to build a bomb.

      seems to me a mutual non-aggression treaty between Israel, Iran, and the US hinged on a non-proliferation treaty is the only way everyone gets what they want.

      Knowledge is not something you can contain within borders. Ever check the last names of OUR top nuclear scientists? The world has moved forward: we cannot rely on countries we don't like indefinitely remaining "developing nations": some of them are more technologically advanced than we are, and their students dominate our PhD programs. Our best bet is to work toward a world in which no nation feels the need to have nuclear weapons, even as a defensive deterrent.

      I find it much more threatening to have nukes in the hands of fanatic zionists. They are crazier than the Iranians. You have only to look here at the zionists threatening Americans with a nuclear war in the mideast if we do not continue to support their parasitism on our country.

      Absolutely true and well said. In my opinion the Zionist animals are the worst of all mankind on the face of the earth. If the US and Europe continue to support them unconditionally as they do up to now, they might even threaten to wipe out the entire human race for their greed for wealth and power. They are the parasite on the human civilization. Wherever Zionist go there will be wars, wherever there is peace and harmony there will be disharmony and war. America has yet to realize this truth.

      Can you imagine that nutty muslim with access to a nuke!

      God help us!!

      Well nutty Muslims will not use Nuke to wipe out innocent people but the Zionists will do. Recent Gaza is an example where they killed more babies and women and innocent man than combatants like Hamas. These Zionist cowards want another US invasion, death and destruction. Why should the nutty Israel should be allowed to have nuke, if nutty Muslims can't have it.

      Qur'an teaches the Muslims to not to transgress the divine rules:

      Permission [to fight] is given to those who are unjustly fought against, and God is most capable of assisting them. Those who have been wrongfully expelled from their homes [for no reason] except their saying, “Our Lord is Allah (God)…” [Al-Qur’an 22:39-40]
      Similarly, Fight in the Way of God those who fight you, but do not transgress. God loves not those who transgress. [Al-Qur’an 2:190]

      Bible teaches the Zionist Jews and Christians:
      Both man and woman young and old, an ox, ad sheep and ass with the edge of the sword (Joshua 6:21

      This is what the nutty Zionist Jews taught to practice and they are doing it in the very eyes of the world under the pretext of Israeli security where Zionists are complaining of being threaten by babies, women, and innocent men, so they kill them indiscriminately.

      Amazing, that now after Obama says they are working on nukes in their nuke industry in Iran instead of peaceful power, the world can now believe it, after they've been told this for a few years now.

      I don't support Iran having nukes any mor ethan I support Israel having them. I'd like to see both countries disarmed. But untill the US is willing to take a stand against Israel we have no business taking a stand against Iran.

        "pursuit" of weapons capability.>>>>

        Oh lord, it's deja vous. Who told him this? The same people that told bush that Hussein was seeking components for Iraq? Obama had better be veeeery careful. There are a lot of people who would LOVE to bring him down. And I honestly don't know how he manages to believe anything anyone says. I wouldn't be in his shoes for a billion $$$. The corruption of people iwith power is mind boggling.

          What I find interesting is that France, Russia the EU and the US have all volunteered to give Iran a Nuclear reactor for generating electricity with the stipulation that all spent fuel be controlled by internationals. Iran has refused all of this generosity. It would seem that any country that wants to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes would jump at the chance to receive the technology from countries that have actually been developing it for the last 50 years. After all, who in their right mind would want to start from scratch when they can have state of the art?

          I see Obama as a pacifist who will not take A Nuke away from Iran. Then,if you cut the Israeli albatross from America's neck, the Israeli's will probably do a preemptive strike on Iran. Russia will then back up the Iranian's to keep their oil interests alive. China will go up against the Russians to protect the Chinese source of oil for their growing industrial economy. What next?

                Hyperbola,

                Is it fair to distinguish evidence that Iran has halted development of nuclear weapons from evidence that they are seeking to obtain the technology. I mean you go to half the teens in America, search their rooms and find no evidence of them growing marijuana but that doesn't mean they are not looking for some weed?

                Are you telling us as Americans that its unrealistic to consider that Iran wouldn't love some weed? More clearly put, should we not fear that if Iran had a weapon they would use it against us or some other culture they didn't agree with?
