Iran's nukes! After the START of WWII in 1941 we BEGAN working on a nuke bomb. In August 1945, we dropped 2 nukes on Japan. Less than 4 years, start to detonation. Now we have the internet and scientists educated all over the world in nuclear material. Plus effective intelligence networks. Plus we have sworn enemies of the USA in possession of nuclear bombs. A considerable part of Bush's 8 years were spent worrying about Iran's nukes and now 3 years of b.o.'s reign are peppered with Iran nukes warnings. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THEY DON'T ALREADY HAVE NUCLEAR BOMBS? A decade of effort and no bomb? I don't believe that.
whenever the US is in finncial trouble they like to start wars.....keeps people's minds off the economy! So this doesn't surprise me!
if the US bombed irans nuclear facilities they don't have any military capabilities to return attack or war against the US also israel can take care of them after the US bombs all their important spots
I'm pretty sure that even Romney wouldn't do that. I could see Bachmann doing it, but that's another discussion. At the very most, it could end up like what Silicon posted, but even that's a bad idea in the long run. I think the most likely thing is that Israel eventually does the strikes, and America will have to basically make up excuses for it while everyone else is angry.
We do, but at the same time, defeating Libya is far easier than defeating Iran. It's not that we couldn't do it, but I can assure you that a weakened Iran would let its problems spill over into Iraq even more than it currently does. A lot of the insurgents in Iraq are funded by Iran, and if we leave Iran in a weakened but angry state, then the terrorism in Iraq will get much worse.
I don't think much of the world likes Iran, but sanctions seem like one of the few feasible actions right now.
Let us not forget that b.o. is also firing drone rockets at "targets of opportunity" in Yemen. Also without ANY consultation with Congress. And we have launched a hostile invasion of Pakistan (OBL killing) and do fire rockets into Pakistan, an "ally." All under b.o. and all without Congressional approval.
Sanctions has never worked, and will never work. Force is only thing humans reconize. You never hear "oh noes! we have been sanctioned!"
Oh my god. So you find illegal, endless wars totally acceptable when your man does it, mainly because your man dehumanizes the process? Wow. I am veritably stunned. That is disgusting.
The Chicken-in-Chief is not going to do anything. More likely they'll make the first move and obozo will apologize and probably ask if they'll accept Jizya. Now there's insider talk that the O Administration has manufactured this plot thingy to take the heat off his 'buddy' Eric. IRan, of course says it is a great satan plot. who to believe. WHO is more believable in this instance? Gonna hafta go with Ahmadinnerjacket on this one.
Being that those in the Middle East don't shy away from taking credit for their actions, I would go with great satan plot.
There is simply no logical reason for such a plot. Iran has been fighting the US by proxy with support to insurgents in multiple theaters, why would they be so stupid as to risk an attack on US soil? The whole thing seems contrived. I'm not saying crazy plots haven't been planned and foiled, but usually they follow some logical progression. There are far more vulnerable Saudi officials in other countries that could acheive a similar objective. Nothing about this makes sense.
This has false flag written all over it. I don't believe the Iranians trusted a used car salesman to carry out a plot to kill a useless Saudi ambassador.
It doesn't make sense if you believe that all was genuine in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Those in charge have got themselves in a catch 22. What is needed to start a war with Iran is an even greater false flag, yet, in order for one to take place immediately discredits the homeland security/patriot act, police state apparatus, that was created to "keep us safe". Basically, globalists getting Americans to fight this one is dead in the water, and they need to come to that realization. China is the answer. They need to work it out with them. Maybe a false flag over there. Not only does it cement China as part of the "global team", but it hinders any chance of a 3rd world war with Iran, Russia, and China forming some modern day Axis powers.
That seems far fetched, on a practical level there is only one benefit that seems to come of this, the Zetas have to clean house if it is publicly known they have informants with the DEA. That seems like a more likely side effect of this goofy scenario.
Please. All foiled "terror plots" to date have involved someone from the government encouraging a disgruntled person into acting on their anger, supplying them with the tools, then busting them. Globalists need to take a step back and write a whole new blueprint and game plan. They have become so predictable it is a joke to those with both eyes open. Gone are the days of grandpa's "map to success". If they are incapable of original thought, it is time to let some hungry new blood at the table.
Obama would try it if it meant re-election. Note that Leon Panetta came out today and said any more cuts to the military budget would cripple the Pentagon's ability to wage two wars.
So true. You know what I think will happen? We just assassinated one of our own citizens. Why wouldn't we take down some Ayatollahs? Maybe a president?
