US to present Iran with 30-day ultimatum

Here's some good info

I understand the consternation but multiculturalism is here and it's here to stay. Lest we destroy civilization. Don't believe everything you read. One thing I've noticed on FR is that everybody complains about the "MSM" espousing the liberal cause. But every article cited here is from a right wing rag. Is that any better? You have to hear both sides before making an informed judgment.

ps - I'm a libertarian

Pure Russian smoke blowing. Everything in the article is false. Iran hasn't agreed to restrict the scale of anything or to move anything. None of the Europeans have agreed to settle for continued enrichment. The Russians are simply trying to split the EU off from the US, but they have nothing substantive to offer to anyone. Iran wants nukes, everyone knows it, Russia wants them to have nukes, none of the rest of the world does. The one isolated is Russia, not the US.

[JasonC]

No multiculturalism is not here to stay. It is a vapid, shallow, idiotic and recent ideology popular with about 20% of the US population for a single generation. It has about as much chance of lasting a century as the hula hoop. Which is less silly and not nearly as dangerous.

[uglybiker]

...and they're still delusional and stupid about national security.

The Democrats are delusional and stupid about everything.

They're nothing if not consistent.

[monkeywrench]

The liberals never get the facts. I can make up my own mind.

No, multiculturalism is being seen as the divisive destructive tool it was meant to be. Notice the euros awakening. People will once again, have to adapt, here, or be left behind forever. There will come a time, when immigrants will be screened properly before being allowed in. We can't afford the drag on society.

Thanks it is good info. Sounds like another 'urban legend' ... LOL

"The only way Israel has the ability to shut down Iranian Nuke sites is to use Nukes of their own."

Over the past couple of years, Isreal purchased hundreds of bunker busters and thousands of other precision guided munitions. Israel has enough bunker busters for quite a few successive penetrations on every target and the ability and option to put small nuclear warheads on virtually anything. The IAF also has enough aircraft refitted for enough fuel to do the sorties to Iran (not that our support wouldn't refuel them, among other tasks).

But countries capable of helping with such an operation that fail to do (especially for economic reasons) so will be shamed. Iran will otherwise be a nuclear threat to countries other than Israel. If some people are so concerned about keeping the oil flowing, an invasion and occupation is needed. Most of the necessary funds have already been spent and most of the forces placed for such an operation (public news over the past 5-6 years). It's going to happen sooner and easier or later and harder, anyway.

Fat Teddy, Kooky John Kerry, and Barbara Boxhead are not going to like this news, and they may even throw a temper tantrum on the Senate floor. I view that as a positive contrarian indicator about the wisdom of Bush's strategy on Iran.

Fat Teddy should be ridiculed into retirement.
Everywhere he goes, people should hand out free tee-shirts with images like this on the front:

The back should say something like, "Remember Chappaquiddick".

I wish I had a tee-shirt company.
People will wear anything if you give it to them for free.

There will come a time, when immigrants will be screened properly before being allowed in.

I have to say "AMEN" to that. Don't get me wrong...I'm for a strong border...but my ancestors were from Europe as are yours, probably. Diversity is what makes this country interesting.

And now, I must accompany the XWL (my wife) to a dinner engagement. I look forward to future conversations...provided my account doesn't get banned ;-)

"An EMP bomb triggered over America within a satellite...is this really possible?"

To my knowledge, the atmosphere would get in the way of effectiveness of such a satellite weapon. But nuclear weapons do emit such pulses that can damage unshielded, solid state, civilian devices within a few thousand feet. ...not too big of a deal, though. Parts replacements in an affected area would give some extra work to a few businesses.

[Bon mots]

There. Let's print up a few thousand and give them out free anywhere Fat Teddy the Swimmer shows up to give a speech and rant inanities.

On the back:

                 Remember
             Chappaquiddick!

"One thing I've noticed on FR is that everybody complains about the "MSM" espousing the liberal cause. But every article cited here is from a right wing rag."

Huh?!? So, you're a troll, a newbie, or someone who hasnt grasped that the oft-cited-on-FR AP, Reuters, WashPost, and NYTimes are in fact part of the liberal lamestream media.

"You have to hear both sides before making an informed judgment."

It wasn't until I read the Quran and the biography of muhammed's life that I grasped how violent Islam was.

It's nonsense that greater 'understanding' will get you signing Kumbaya - that's more the position of wilful ignorance of the cultural assumptions and bigotries of others.

That's right. They may be forcing the schedule since they have their own concerns.

[Canedawg]

6/6/06 is quite obvious when you think about it. I've thought about it, too.

[Rembrandt]

Before putting a lot of stock in this story, note that it carries the AP byline.

"...then hope the next President is weaker and allows Iran to build nuclear weapons and dominate Europe and the Middle East."

Oh no! Is Jimmy Carter running?

[butternut_squash_bisque]

I didn't IMPLY that, at all. Don't put words into my post, thankyouverymuch.

Our Holy Bible doesn't command us to lie to non-Christians, but their unholy POS, koran, does.

Wake-up, Infidel.

[butternut_squash_bisque]

You'd have to ask one of them.

"Allah and his messenger announce that it is acceptable to go back on our promises (treaties) and obligations with Pagans and make war on them whenever we find ourselves strong enough to do so." (Koran 9:3)
