US Republican calls for bombing of Iran nuclear sites (Louie Gohmert - Texas)
Press TV ^ | Thu Jul 24, 2014

Posted on 08/04/2014 4:15:12 PM PDT by Dave346

A US Republican congressman has called for the bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites, saying in case of US hesitancy, Israel should be allowed to do that.

Speaking on the House floor on Tuesday, Republican Louie Gohmert said that Israel’s invasion of Gaza means that it is time to bomb Iran.

“It is time to bomb Iran’s nuclear capabilities. It is time for the United States, if we are not going to stop Iran’s nukes, then let Israel do it. A friend will not put another friend in this kind of jeopardy.”

Israel and the US accuse Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program and have used the pretext to threaten military strikes against the Islamic Republic. Iran has repeatedly denied the allegation, warning of a crushing response to any act of aggression against it.

Gohmert added that the US must cut its aid to any country that has relationship with the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.

“It is time to cut off every dime of American money going to anyone who has any kind of relationship with Hamas or those killing in the Middle East, and especially in Israel,” he said.

I wonder if your two sentences are related, somehow.

Yes, I agree, bomb the hell out of their nuke sights. Also remember that some of the sights are maned by Russians. The hell with Russia, bomb it anyway. Warn Russia to get the hell out or suffer.

I like Gohmert. He is a very good conservative congressman.
But we need another war with Iram like a hole in the head at this time. $17.6 Trillion in debt, and Hundred Trillion in unfunded liabilities for Medicare, Medicaid & Social Security means we are a bankrupt country. We have no business playing world policeman. First we need to get our debt under control.

But I think nothing would please Obama as much as Iran with a nuclear bomb, and then using it against the U.S. or Israel. He’d find some way to blame it on Republicans and his looney following would accept it as gospel.

A nuke in the hands of religious fanatics is a direct national defense issue. Has nothing to do with trying to be the world’s policeman.

You have got to be kidding. You can’t just bomb for the Hell of it. You think they just sit there and go “oh gee, looks like we lose”? yeah, just toss a few bombs around and ensure America gets nuke and a good billion or two die worldwide.

Utter insanity.

I frequently have the same thoughts you express here. However, when looked at with reason and probabilities, there really isn’t a choice about who the big dawg in the world is and who must be responsible for preventing total chaos.

We don’t have a choice, unhappy one that it is.

As a genre, "Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran" ranks just underneath "Downfall"...

Here is one I hadn't seen before:

Are you aware that North Korea has nukes AND delivery systems?

Are you aware Pakistan is the biological father of Taliban?
and are you aware Taliban gave comfort and sacntuary to Bin Laden?

Are you aware Pakistan has 100+ nukes already?

Are you aware Islamists in Pakistan have already assassinated their prime minister and have launched attacks on Karachi International airport?

If you are worried about terrorists getting their hand on nukes (as I am), why are you ignoring situation in Pakistan and anxious to get us into a war with Iran who has zero nukes as of today?

Iran and nk have made threats against us and ou flies. Are you aware of that.

They are developing their programs. Are you aware of that.

India us a counter to pakis. Are you aware of that.

Our president is weakening the country and giving those who threaten us more time.

Why do you think fanatics subscribe to mutually assured destruction like the ussr did after losing tens of millions dead last century, are you aware of the difference.

Ask tourselfwhich is more risky, if I’m wrong or if you’re wrong.
