Well? Let's hear it. What you got?
To: Aussie Dasher
Liberals are now saying Iran won't have a bomb in 10 years, this is another ruze on Bush's part, how can you trust the current administration, etc., etc.
Where did the 10 years come from? Seymour Hersch?
To: Aussie Dasher
To think that a bombing raid on Iran will solve the Iranian threat is simplistic. We'd REALLY like their nuclear program to end and better yet to be set back a few years, but if we don't accomplish that mission what's next? A humiliation at their hands? That's what they want. They're egging us on in the hope that we'll strike.
If we strike now, (we have poor choices either way) they'll claim just retaliation for whatever action they take in the future.
I think our strike must be thorough, way more than removing the nuclear program. The nukes are just the symptom. What really needs removal is the problem, the sicko terrorist regime that's fostering all this hate and inspiration to the fanatical masses.

Don't rush things. At this juncture, what we really need is to engage the UN. /sarc

It took us less than four years from FDR starting up our atomic bomb project full speed just before Pearl Harbor to dropping the bombs on Japan. It took about 5 months from when the gas diffusion enrichment plant at Oak Ridge went into production until we bombed Japan. Iran has claimed that they have now run their enrichment plant. Anyone who claims that Iran is more than months (at most) from having the bomb is too stupid to be allowed to care for and feed themselves, much less make national policy statements.

There's more than one way to take out the trash. The difficulty I see is making sure we take out ALL the trash. (See my post 23)
How do we know we'll get ALL the trash when we start this ball rolling?

The President should get Colin Powell to lay out the case before a full session of the UN.

My guess is that we do not act first.
The only question is, will Israel or Iran shoot first?

Just keep hammering it in the same 50 meter by 50 meter square over and over with GPS-guided bunker busters until the roof caves in. Then bomb the interior and all the centrifuges.

To: Aussie Dasher
I think we'll see something this summer. And it might be diplomatic. Something to the effect of Iran saying, "For the purposes of establishing security in the Middle East, I am dismantaling my nuke plants within the next 90 days."
That will be the way the Israeli's allow him to save face, before things go boom.
We'll never hear about the Spec. Op forces and the Mossad agents who have already done most of the dismantling.

LOL. That's it!! Let's bomb everybody we don't like. Wasn't that Hitler's plan also?
To: Aussie Dasher
This report is obviously false. Iran is 5 - 10 years away from a nuke - that idiot reporter at The New Yorker said so!! EXTREME sarcasm

Only Iran knows how long they've been enriching uranium and how many centrifuges they have. Can anyone believe anything they say? I think not.Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and send them one anyway...
To: muleskinner
Where did the 10 years come from? Seymour Hersch?The "American intelligence community" via the NY Times, a few weeks back -- but, of course, they did a CYA near the end of the article -- "then again, we could be wrong." Very reassuring.
To: GSlob
I'm all for erring on the side of caution and nuking they're butts right now.
