Rubio says it’s ‘irrelevant’ whether Iran was actively pursuing a nuke

[MarcATL]

I don't think the USA should be bowing and scraping to be anybody's friend or sugar daddy. I"LL TAKE FEAR . That works just fine.

I didn't ask that MFer, I asked which country should trust the US?

I think i answered that and you just don't like the answer and the reality of it. prick.

I think i answered that and you just don't like the answer and the reality of it. prick.

I then further wanted confirmation that you're confusing trust with fear and asked you to clarify.

Im still waiting.

Medvedev says there are countries that would supply Iran with Nukes. Probably france and germany. How about you Dmitri. After the way all of Europe, NATO has done you?? and Bidet? But Bidet is no more. The President doesn't seem very worried at this point.

 

[JimH52]

and the problem isssssssss.......?

Nice to know we have a President who says what he means and means what he says. Right??
INstead of the two helmet wearing girl bike riding pussies that we have had.

So, it seems that Iran was not pursuing a nuclear bomb as intel earlier stated, but trump wanted to please Netanyahu and look like a tough guy, and ordered the attack anyway. It smells like George W and WMD.

It's a typical effort by the lying bastards in the media to twist Rubio's words around but it's all they have these days. What he said was that it was "irrelevant whether US intelligence knew Iran was close to a nuclear weapon".

Word mincing is the refuge of those who can't or won't engage in an intelligent debate.

Rubio says it’s ‘irrelevant’ if US had intel Iran was pursuing nuke before strikes: Regime had everything they needed to build weapons

Rubio said the mere fact that Iran had “everything they need to build nuclear weapons” justified President Trump’s decision to take action against the theocratic regime.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday it’s “irrelevant’’ whether the US had intelligence that Iran was actively pursuing a nuclear weapon before bombing it.

Rubio said the mere fact that Iran had “everything they need to build nuclear weapons” justified President Trump’s decision to take action against the theocratic regime.

This is beginning to smell like the WMD lie in Iraq. So, even if Iran was not pursuing a nuke, trump was justified in placing the US into another ME war?

Rubio mispoke

What he should have said is that the equipment used only for building a nuclear weapon is prima facia evidence that they intended to build a bomb

 

[badbob85037]

He's right.

We cannot be in the business of reading the minds of foreign leaders, such as the latest Iranian Ayatollah. We certainly should not be pretending to read their minds and giving the reading the most optimistic slant possible, i.e. that Iran just happens to have all they need to build a nuclear weapon, but they certainly do not intend to build one.

Whether we should have participated militarily in stopping Iran from having the capability to make a nuclear weapon is a different question. You could make an argument that letting Israel carry the ball while we only provide the ball would be a better way to stop the nuclear program in Iran.

Or you could argue that no one should tell Iran they cannot have a nuke.

But it is pretty naive to say "unless they say so, there is no reason to believe that Iran wants a bomb."

What is wrong with you? These towelheads have been killing Americans for 50 years. Hope you don't call yourself an American and wear your towel with pride, but do it in Iran.

Interpreted, "We did not think Iran was close to a nuclear weapon, but trump wanted to be a hero and please his fellow criminal, Netanyahu, so we said they were close."

Were you that upset with bombings when obama was doing it? I bet not.

President Obama's 8 Years of Bombing the Middle East

Peace President Barack Obama was elected in 2009 partly due to his opposition to the Iraq war and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize about nine months after he assumed office. However, it was more of a political statement, and it certainly didn’t portend what was to become. The Bombing Spree...

I don't think you're all that upset with the bombings. You're just upset that Trump was efficient and he has made a dent in iran's nuke plans after all that money, opportunity and support that obama and biden gave them. Why did obama and biden do that?? Why would ANY AMERICAN president give $ and preferential treatment for nukes when that country has vowed to destroy us? Are you afraid of that word 'TRAITOR"?

Exactly – this is who and what Republicans are: dishonest, liars, untrustworthy.

Yet another Republican president, yet another illegal war in the ME.

 

[Calypso Jones]

Remember TACOBAMA's Line drawn in the sand?

Which country should trust America?

Why does that matter?

Atomic watchdog says Iran not complying with nuclear safeguards

The UN-backed atomic watchdog passed a resolution on Thursday declaring that Iran is not complying with its obligations regarding nuclear non-proliferation.

The UN said they were close, just a couple weeks ago

Russia pretty much spills the beans and admits Iran was building a nuke.

“What have the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?” Medvedev questioned in a post on social media. “The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue. A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.”

Russia: Other nations ready to supply Iran with nukes after U.S. strike - UPI.com

In the wake of President Donald Trump's strike on Iran's nuclear sites, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Sunday that "a number of countries" are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear weapons.

Democrats are OK with unitary executive power. They just reject that Republicans are allowed to use it when they are in the White House.

Pretty much a typical Authoritarian Banana Republic attitude.
