Persian Gulf War 3 anybody? I doubt a "censure" will do anything... its time to start growling at the terrorists again.

[Rams82]

I'm watching for Israel's reaction to all this...

This is a very difficult situation for us. Imagine how much worse it would be if the Iranians were hearing a lot of "nuance" out of the White House.

[Go Gordon]

Pirooz Hosseini, Iran's permanent IAEA representative, claiming that "Iran's [nuclear] program is exclusively peaceful."

What is wrong with the Middle East leaders. Do they think the US and the rest of the world are stupid? If they only have useful programs for generating power, then let the world see them. The only need to hide something, is if it is not designed for useful programs.

That said, I seriously doubt Iran could deliver a nuke via a missile. A nation that has nukes admits it when they can deliver them. Thats called a good defense, by having a good offense. Nations fail to admit they have nukes, when they either need more time to develop them, or they have them and intend to use them offensively.

That would put the Left Over the Edge, LOL!!!!

Unlike Iraq, there is positive intelligence of Iran's nuclear objectives.

A strong ultimatum delivered to Iran by Bush soon would win back any credibility that he lost in the Iraq theater.

Sending aircraft carriers to the region would emphasize the urgency of the problem.

I'm sure that Israel has given Bush a deadline date when they will act alone if the US doesn't act.

This summer could get very interesting.

All that is needed for the hardline Iran government to fall is a little push from the outside......or how about a big push?

Great....set them up in the other alley!

...Sounds to me like Iran has been listening to too many Kerry sound bites. They forget they're dealing with a REAL man, a Texan named Bush.

[Skywarner]

"...Sounds to me like Iran has been listening to too many Kerry sound bites."

And let's not forget that Kerry has been communicating with the Iranian government as well. Iran must think it has found a new friend and can get away with it now.

In any event, the Isrealis will take the first steps to deal with the Iranian nuclear problem most likely anyways.

"or they have them and intend to use them offensively."

Israel.

[Democratshavenobrains]

What does any of this matter? The mullahs could launch 20 nuclear missles at Israel and Bush would be labeled the aggressor by most of the Left and the Democrat Party.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

With two to three historical exceptions Iran is an eater of armies. I hope this guy does not send troops in there.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

BUMP

[hosepipe]

[ On Saturday, Iran halted all international inspections of its nuclear facilities. ]

With the revolution gin'ing up... The mullahs must be getting paranoid... Americans on their left(Iraq) and Americans on their right(Afganistein) and this revolution comeing out of nowhere.. Maybe accounts are being started in some Swiss Banks.. The only place to SQUEEZE..France.. for a good taxing..

[blam]

This administration has not done a good job explaining to the American people and the world that with terrorists, pre-emptive strikes are necessary. Most of the world sees us a bullies.

The leftist media continues to mis-direct and mis-inform the American people...they are more interested in political power. When we have a large part of the population that can't even find our own country on a globe, much less Iran, I'm worried.
