Feel free to ad your own leftist squawk.
IMHO,our military is stretched too thin right now to do the kind of job that would be needed in Iran. Then of course you have all of the domestic appeasers, etc. who would go all out to stop us from having another front in the war on terrorism. Lastly, even though regime change could work, it needs to come internally - even anti-regime forces are probably nationalistic and might not necessarily welcome our direct military involvement.
Indeed ... sometimes 148 grains of lead are more effective than a few kilos of plutonium.
China is just doing good business and making money. They know Israel and the US will never allow Iran to complete their nuclear weapons development project. You'll never see a successful nuclear test by Iran, and China & Russia know that.
I didn't know it had ended yet.
I'm going through the motions of my daily life knowing that it may be all about to unravel, knowing that at best we're going to have to have an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation with Iran. Then I look at those around me and realize that they are blissfully ignorant that this is what is coming to us. Pray.
We may not have enough troop strength for an invasion, but we can shut down their nuclear weapons program for several years with powerful airstrikes. Then it's up to the next administration and Israel to make sure their nuke weapons program remains permanently shut down.
They may be bluffing, they probably are, because Arabs usually talk big when they have an empty hand. If they were going to do something they would just do it.
Don't worry, this is a day at the beach compared to the Cuban Missile Crisis. We were only 24 hours from bombing Cuba when Kruschev decided to pull the misiles out of Cuba. A number of catastrophic scenarios could have unfolded if we had been forced to bomb Russian missiles and soldiers in Cuba.
With us forcing the situation with a final resolution that the UN will balk at.
If the UN had held to the final resolution against Iraq, then there wouldn't have been a war.
Suspect the same will play out with Iran. And that the same group of countries are probably making the same promises to Iran that they made to Iraq.
In the end, there will be some kind of military action against Iran because nothing has changed.
We shall taunt you a second time, you Irrrrrrrrrrraineeans who say "nuke!!"
Not being a military expert I am told that Isreal cannot take out the Iranian Nukes without help because their planes cant reach there without being refueled.
If we supply the tankers to refuel the Israeli planes we may as well help with the attack, because we will take the same abuse from the appeasers one way or the other.
It would if Yoko Ono was the singing messenger.....
You misspelled "Burqhaley"..... 8~)
No time to wait.
Strike first; talk later.
why would we even think about nuking Iran?
The israelis are precise in targeting individuals, I envision more of a Godfather scene where the Mullahs are all targeted and eliminated at one time, in essence clearing all family businees.
