Do these mullets have 6 year olds writing their stuff???

But Gardiner said all his war-gaming and analysis had led him to the conclusion that Ambassador Soltaniyeh was right and the military solution would not destroy Iran's nuclear program as the know-how would remain.

But it would extend the negotiation time line.

"Military strikes against Iran's nuclear sites would not destroy the Islamic republic's uranium enrichment activities, which could be easily moved and restarted, a senior Iranian official said on Monday."

Wanna bet? These people are clueless as to what our armed forces are capable of. Reminds me of the Taliban bluster.

Currently, Iran can build and develop nuclear capabilities whenever and wherever it wants.

Conversely, the US can destroy these nuclear capabilities, whenever and wherever they are.

This is more statesmanship than anything else. Iran is very concerned at how their mortal enemy, Iraq, is developing. The nukes are their bargaining chip and why we've both agreed to talks on Iraq, which is the real immediate issue for both states.

If Pres. Bush doesn't stop talking and start bombing, his Presidency will prove a miserable failure and millions of Americans will needlessly die.

[Citizen Tom Paine]

I will bet you a nickle that military force can stop their nuclear program. Properly applied military force concentrates one's thinking marvelously.

Attacking Iran would probably jeopardize American oil interests in the entire Middle East, and you gotta think that W's oil-industry buddies have some strong influence in the White House.

So for that reason alone, I say the US won't attack Iran.

"Enrichment can be done anywhere in Iran,"

And our bombs can reach anywhere in Iran, too.

Let's play!

Moo-laaaaahs on drugs, obviously.

Not only can force destroy their nuke program, it's just about time to use it.

That's all well and good, but I'm not sure how the knowledge to build nuclear weapons does Iran any good if the U.S. military plays "whack-a-mole" with them.

This may be a non sequitur but isn't that like saying: We shouldn't defeat the German army under Hitler because because his generals will still know how to fight and his engineers will still know how to build tanks?

It is pretty hard to concentrate Uranium without power plants. It is also very hard to buy Uranium to process if all your oil facilitys are burning. When the majority of your population centers are in ruins, food and water become much higher prioritys for the man in street than working for world conquest.

I think the Mad Mullahs are not thinking things through.

Anyone who uses the words "military force", "can't destroy" and "atomic" all in the same sentence must have missed the end of World War II on the History Channel.

Wouldn't bet on that, if we and a few selected allies have enough of these:

Small Diameter Bomb Provides Big Capabilities

A Small Diameter Bomb hits an A-7 parked inside a concrete aircraft shelter during a test at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. The bomb is an autonomous, 250-pound class weapon that can be used in adverse weather and has a standoff range of more than 60 nautical miles. Courtesy photos

A B-61-11 bomb will take out just about any bunker no matter how well it is built.

It is time to abolish the UN. Iran says they just want electricity and at the same time that we cannot destroy their nuclear enrichment program. Does anyone in the whole world not think that they are going after the bomb, and that China and Russia are helping them and covering for them at the UN? We should provide nuclear weapons to Taiwan as retaliation for the Chicom helping all OUR enemies.

I guess this guy has never seen saturation ground penetrating nuclear bombing
