Comments for Obama and the Iranian bomb »

Posted By israeligirl1 9 months, 3 weeks ago in News

Fears of nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran's Shiite regime are forcing a shotgun marriage of Israel and the Sunni Arab states. An Iranian A-bomb is not the stuff of neocon fantasies. Iran will reach nuclear capability in 2009-2010 time frame, and its drive for regional hegemony makes it an existential threat for countries like Saudi Arabia.

      Doesn't matter to the neocon / zionist propagandists. Neither did Iraq have any WMDs and they were able to sucker Americans into that useless war. We will see if Americans are stupid enough to be suckered into another war for zionism. Certainly we will again be subjected to massive propaganda to try to scare us into one.

      Will He Sell Himself Into His Own Defeat?
      Obama and the Empire

      ... There are indeed forces in both the United States and Israel that want a clash of civilizations and are definitely not against further wars, and these forces are powerful. Obviously, the first nation to be affected by implementation of this scenario would be Iran. At this point it is impossible to know whether Obama will want to, or be able to, prevent these forces from dominating future US policies throughout the Middle East.

        You must sleep well at night knowing that you hate just about everything including the country that of which you claim to be a 14th generation. I can't ever remember your praising this country for anything it does. We know that you hate Israel, but to hate your own country is real illness. I'm sure that you will disagree fervently with me about this, but you have torn down every administration and every action that this country has taken since you started posting on this site. I honestly believe that if you ever found anything that you truly cared about, you would find a way to spin that around as well. I wonder if you are truly sociopathic, or just acting out. In either case, you are in need of some serious intervention.

          Sorry edmar, unlike you I still believe in the principles of our founders, especially Washington's words warning us NEVER to get caught up in the wars of foreigners. Perhaps when your family has been in america for a few generations, you will be come an american instead of an israel-firster traitor.

      IRAN has not produced the highly enriched uranium necessary for a nuclear weapon and has not decided to do so, US intelligence officials told Congress.

      This assessment contrasts with a stark Israeli warning days earlier that Iran had crossed the "technological threshold" in its pursuit of the bomb.

        Where's Bush and Cheney to "keep us safe" when we need them?

        Hell, they'd just falsify intelligence, lie to Congress and the American people, and invade Iran with no other plan than to make money on the deal.

      Israeligirl, at least you can find solace in the fact that the uneducated neocons in this country will fall for this type of propaganda.

        I'll fall for their propaganda ANY day than the propaganda of those who follow Quran 3:28 and 16:106.

            A lie is still a lie no matter who it comes from.

          Interesting.
          The more Iran gets closer to producing a bomb the less likely they are to have a bomb.

          To me the only fly in the ointment about the 'not producing a bomb argument' is the ABM system deployed in the former Warsaw Pact Nations.

            If the 'civilized world' is interested in eliminating nukes and WMD's in the Middle East, let's start with Israel who has stock piles of nukes supplied by the USA. Oops, I guess that's like ignoring the 'big elephant' in the room!!!
            Pakistan and India have nukes. Why not Iran, Egypt, Kuwait, Syria or Saudi Arabia? Oh I see, nukes are only for the 'civilized nations'. That's a BIG FARCE :)

              Nuclear technology is no longer a big secret and even the "developing" world has not stood still in the last 40 years. We must be prepared for these countries to advance technologically, and some will choose nuclear technologies. The purpose of the NPT was to get countries to commit to not producing weapons from nuclear technology. Iran is a signatory to the NPT. All they need to do is to open up their facilities to international inspection.

              Iran would do well to move away from the Arab world, which does nothing but drag Iran down. The Arab world is stuck on the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Iran can turn their influence North and East.

                ROTFLMAO
                "Iran would do well to move away from the Arab world, which does nothing but drag Iran down."

                What nonsense. Iran has been the instigater of a lot of the insurgents in Iraq as well as giving weapons and help to Hamas and other terrorist organizations. You have been drinking some very strong kool aid.
