I think there's a difference between "planning to use" and "not ruling out". The latter doesn't imply that it's the first option they'll take. M.A.D. requires a nuclear strike if Iran was to actually use nuclear weaponry, saying "we won't nuke them" would go against M.A.D.. Though I've read claims that a nuclear bunker…
Yeah, I would have thought war with Iran at least made more sense than war with someone youve already beat, at the very least the women look better. All in all Id have preferred we finished the war on actual terrorist before we entered the next debacle. I cant really fault the current administrations lack of movement on…
So, Bush is planning on using nukes against Iran.. Bush won't rule out nuclear strike on Iran So I wonder how the rest of the world will react when Bush is directly responsible for the death of 3 Million people when he uses just ONE mini nuke Please watch this animation and understand what a "bunker buster" will actually…
Properly focus your mouse pointer elsewhere, Frank. The adults are discussing. [ QUOTE ] It's situated exactly between Iraq and Afghanistan [/ QUOTE ] good reason to feel threatened. possible strategy to surround Iran and gain back the US$ for oil. [ QUOTE ] and there's virtually nothing they could possibly do to prevent a…
I have real doubts about the U.S. attacking Iran any time real soon (except for small strikes). The president and congress have extremely little support from the people at this point, and we still have our terribly messed up occupation of Iraq dragging us down. Approval for another full-on invasion/war is simply not going…
The United States doesn't oppose Iranian nuclear armament because it's a threat to the United States. The United States opposes it because Iran is a threat to Israel. As to the how and why America has become the official 'big brother' to the nation of Israel is a whole other thread, but that's a more realistic fear than…
Actually Frank, my thread was about educating people who may have uncritically accepted lies as truth. People who base their actions on falsehoods make bad decisions for themselves, and that leads to personal unhappiness and failure. I think the Iran issue is important, but if Bush launches a strike on Iran it will result…
I read the first few posts and then started feverishly scrolling for Scott Ruggles expected reply because I know he can't resist these threads. And although I think the current ideology of the regime in the US is unacceptable - I kind of agree that something will need to be done. I don't know if the solution is violence or…
Other muslim countries have nuclear capabilities and no warheads have been handed over to terrorist groups. Those things aren't very low profile, require a lengthy transport (as opposed to being made in someone's basement a few miles away from the target) and I don't think any govt wants one of those things unaccounted…
no one is really up in arms about this topic in the government areas i work in. it's not the dominant topic at all. In fact recent UN study has shown that they are 4-5 years away from making thier first bomb. They only have a few hundred centrafuges now, and have only enriched uranium to around 3.5 percent. You need about…
