"The US is using an international criminal investigation into a 1994 terrorist attack in Argentina to keep Tehran in duress. The Wall Street Journal reveals the Bush administration's behind-the-scenes machinations to encourage the 14-year-old probe, which claims Iranian agents planned the bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people.

"One U.S. goal is to cause legal problems for some of Iran's political leaders," report Jay Solomon and Evan Perez. "Administration officials also hope to use the matter to highlight Iran's alleged role in financing and supporting terrorism around the world."

The news comes less than two weeks after a confrontation between US Navy warships and small Iranian speedboats that resulted in several days of bellicose warnings and hostile rhetoric toward Iran from President Bush and members of his administration. Late last week it was acknowledged that the "threats" the Navy initially thought were coming from the Iranians could have been broadcast from virtually anywhere and may have been the result of a prankster known as the "Filipino Monkey."

Administration officials are now telling Solomon and Perez that the 1994 bombing "serves as a model for how Tehran has used its overseas embassies and relationships with foreign militant groups, in particular Hezbollah, to strike at its enemies," the two report.

Indeed, a particularly odd question, when some in this thread routinely link to obscure rightwing sites/blogspot.com.

It's all they can do, DCD.


They certainly have no credible argument of their own to offer up for consideration.

What's to argue? Kind of hard to get all up for an argument over something from the "Who Gives a Shit" file.

Yes, but specifically about pressuring Iran through the legal system. It is that specifically I addressed, not the general topic of leaning on Iran.

However, I'll address part of your statement. The Soviet Union furnished China with nuclear capability, not the US.

So you think we ought to just start in Iraq and head east and not stop until we reach the East China Sea, or what?

Ummm ... what? How does stolen equate to provided? The fact STILL remains the Chinese posessed nuclear weapons they obtained from the USSR in the 1950s.

Does it REALLY matter if they can blow up your city 10 times over instead of 10 times over? The reality is, that once a nation posesses the capablility to launch enough nuclear weapons to create a nuclear winter, how many times over they can do it is moot.
