Just babble and gobbledygook.

Translation...We are going to let the Muzzies get the A-Bomb. We lied about our diplomatic genius...It won’t work.

We’re going to do the same thing we’ve been doing for thirty years with nations developing nuclear weapons. First we tell them they’d best not do it. Then they’ll test one. We’ll tell them to not do it again in exchange for money or whatever. They’ll test another one, then we’ll sit around dealing with the fact they’re in the nuclear club.

What Hillary neglected to tell our friends and allies is that she literally meant we’d be handing out umbrellas. At $1,000.00 each, they’ll protect people from radioactive fallout, rain, and even provide shade and protection against ultraviolet light which causes skin cancer, sun burns, and deterioration of fabrics, plastics, and other synthetics.

Watch Raytheon and Lockheed Martin stocks. Did Hillary hire defense contractor lobbyists as speech writers?

A few cruise missiles could save the cost of billions in missile defense hardware.

Please tell me this isn't about arms sales at the expense of the risk of global financial meltdown.

"defence umbrella"

I worry that the TOTUS administration is using such strong terms regarding Iran. "defense parasol" might be more acceptable.

We really oughta overthrow these muzzie guys. The people are ready for it, that’s for sure.
Otherwise, the option will be that “three inches of green glass”—AFTER they drop one on us.

This is completely irrelevant.

When, (not if but when) Iran builds a fissionable weapon, it will be small enough to fit in the trunk of a car.

45 years ago the US was producing megaton size fission/fusion weapons that were 16 x 48 inches in size and weighed less than 550 pounds.

Why should Iran worry about missiles and their reliability problems? Put the weapon in the trunk of a car and smuggle it into Tel Aviv. No missile launch warnings, to radar tracks; just two guys named Abdul pushing a button and Tehran has complete denyability.
