Obama: Iran has a "right" to nuclear energy

[elvis]

Where are you getting that from?

I think we should continue to do what we are already doing ... do our best to cut off arms supplies being funneled into Iraq from Iran.

Look, E, it's no secret that nations funnel arms to other nations during war time. We didn't go off and bomb Moscow during the cold war even though we knew they were supplying weapons were killing US soldiers now did we?

We fought wars by proxy. Obviously the consequences of going after the Soviets were steeper than going after Iran.

You don't think that the consequences of going after Iran aren't steep enough to balk at over some arms getting funneled into Iraq?

Dude, we hit Iran and you can kiss the progress made in Iraq good-bye.

I was saying comparing Iran to Russia doesn't work, that's all.

Conduct regime change in iran, and the middle east might actually discover peace for the first time, in oh, 1,000 years...

yeah, nothing promotes peace like forcing a regime change on an unwilling population.

 

[jreeves]

Directly, huh?

Got something to back that up?

Does it really matter if it is direct or indirect, as long as they are responsible for supplying terrorists weapons to kill American troops?

When you make the statement "directly murdered" it sure does.

And if you want to play the arms supplying game then the US is directly responsible for all sorts of murders all around the world.

Lets play, when have we supplied arms to governments to kill our troops?
Not only arms, but terrorist weapons such as IED's?

And Elvis just gave you a shining example of the US supplying arms to Iraq.

You know, when the Germans first invaded Russia, they were greeted as liberators until the SS started enslaving and shooting them. Has there ever been another time when an invader was greeted as a liberator?

Didn't we do a whole lot of weapon supplying in South America in the 80's as well?

At the same time, no, we didn't battle with Hussein until a decade or so later.

That's what the Iran-Contra affair was all about. So, in a way, that creates another example. That act by Reagan was worse than what Nixon did, imo.
