Time to attack iran

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Well you see, I don't care whether you admit it or not. The fact remains either way.

And you wonder why you're considered the House Idiot....keep screaming your one liner, see if that fires up the Rep points for ya, moron...

Well I'm fairly sure I'm not considered the "House Idiot" by anyone but you. Of course, it's impossible for me to know what other people are thinking but so far you're the only one to come out and make any such claim.

Republicans are so funny. They love bogeymen. They still believe that Saddam was behind 9/11. Here is Bush in his own words saying that Saddam wasn't behind 9/11 and he never said Saddam was. Only, how did Americans get that idea if it wasn't from Bush?

Now, you have those on the "white" wing who want to "invade" Iran. We can't even rebuild Iraq. Iran is building "nuclear" bombs which I guess they are going to "truck" into this country. You could say, "Give diplomacy a try", but look at the "white" wingnuts on this site. They rant and scream. Invade! Blow them up! Get 'em before it's 'too late'!"

Somehow, they believe that putting a nuclear bomb together takes a glow in the dark watch, a bit of string, a couple of coat hangers, some spit, and wallah! A nuclear bomb a la "McGiver".

Well, all I can say is "praise the heavens" that we have someone with "reason" in the White House.

Yea, Iranians are "technological". Nearly every month one of their planes crash.

Look up "road safety":

Iran has highest rate of fatal road accidents in the world
Tehran, April 6, IRNA -- Iran ranks first worldwide in terms of having highest number of road accidents leading to 38,000 deaths and injuries per year, said Deputy Health Minister Mohammed-Esmaeel Akbari here on Tuesday.

Their school system is even worse. When the clerics took over they rewrote the school books replace "mysticism" with science, exactly the same way the church wants to do here. As if "magical" design was something "real" that could explain how microbes develop resistance to penicillin.

This is the "dangerous technologically advanced country" that will be sending out nuclear weapons by the truck load? Oh sorry, by camel cart?

I think the real danger is that they might blow themselves up.

Could you imagine if Americans were still listening to the "white" wingnuts? This is why they are so afraid of science. They think you could build nuclear reactors like gas stations.

They seem to have no problems buying Russian/Chinese weapons, and handing them off to terrorist/proxy armies...

i don't think the voices in your head actually PM you...

 

[rdean]

Yea, Iranians are giving weapons to the Taliban. Right? I would think a Shiite country surrounded by Sunnis would keep them for protection NOT GIVE THEM TO SUNNIS. If not the Taliban, then who?

Well I suppose it's possible that people have PM'd you to tell me how much they dislike me, but I'm going to doubt it. I don't know of anyone on this board that would be afraid to say what they think of anybody else in public. Also, why in the world would they go to you? A mod would be the obvious choice if people had that big of a problem with me.

Iran: Is Tehran Sending Weapons to Afghanistan's Taliban?

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/18/world/middleeast/18military.html

"U.S. Says Iranian Arms Seized in Afghanistan

By MICHAEL R. GORDON
Published: April 18, 2007
WASHINGTON, April 17 — A shipment of Iranian-made weapons bound for the Taliban was recently captured by allied forces in Afghanistan, the Pentagon’s top officer said Tuesday.

It was the first time that a senior American official had asserted that Iranian-made weapons were being supplied to the Taliban. But Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said it was not clear if the Iranian government had authorized the shipment."

I promised to not mention names, but suffice to say, many people not only dislike you, they think you are of very low intelligence.

I'd rather be hated and respected than detested and thought of as an idiot.

Your continued baiting and refusal to discuss iran's blocking of IAEA inspections doesn't help much.

Its real simple GC.

A poster claims that "the IAEA head says there's no evidence of an iranian nuclear weapons program."

Background: the new head says that on his first day on the job, so he's trying to make a political statement, meanwhile the outgoing head said he "believed in his gut that iran had a separate and parallel nuclear weapons platform."

My response is that since iran is blocking most of the inspections, how can the IAEA have acquired evidence yet?

So how does the first poster respond? He just keeps repeating the initial claim above, no matter who questions it, he just keeps repeating the same line over and over.

Is that a poster that is going to acquire board respect, someone you will think highly of, that is worth engaging in an intelligent discussion?

I think we both know the answer. Unfortunately, I cannot put blame where I think it really lies, so I will just allow the evidence for the poster's inadequacies to speak for themselves...

Actually, I repped him for his patience in not attacking you. I've seen a lot of vulgar trolls, but you're really something else.

And on that note, a good night to all.

Iran selling arms to the Taliban? Why do you quote stories from years ago?

It's not that Iran is selling to the Taliban, it's that some Iranians are selling on the open market, the same market that the Russians, the Chinese and even us sell weapons to. Taliban has been paying with drugs. The government in Iran may not even know who is selling the weapons.

Republicans always think everything is simple, black and white. Us or them. It's why Bush didn't understand the problem with invading Iraq the way his father did. Iraq had just invaded another country, yet, Bush Sr. stopped at the border. He didn't want to "own" the problem. The one that we "own" now.

Yes, I claimed that the head of the IAEA said that there was no evidence of Iran seeking nuclear weapons, and then provided a source. I've also pointed out that a gut feeling is not evidence.

For those who think I'm attempting to sidestep an intelligent conversation I point you to that thread I made on the subject, where I was repeatedly insulted by rhodescholar for posting a fact. Does anyone really think that that's an example of an intelligent conversation?

Attacking Iran would be a REALLY stupid thing to do.
