    I don't think Iran will wait long enough for Saudi Arabia to build their own bomb.

    Besides, having the the Muslim nut jobs in Saudi Arabia become nuclear armed is not very appealing either.

    With ideas as stupid as yours I would not be calling other people names, Margot.

    The crazy mullahs are not "just people."

    They are insane Muslim radicals.

    Saudi Arabia has been a US ally since the 1930s.. They don't spy on us or attack our ships... They also don't demand that we go to war against the neighbors.

    The Saudis are about progress and commerce..

    Other than the first Gulf War when the Saudi's were VERY happy for us to go to war for them.

    They were tricked into that.. Iraq was no threat to KSA.. Cheney lied to King Fahd.

    If Israel has threatened Iran it has been precisely because of Iran's nuclear ambition. What crazy chain of reasoning leads you to conclude that Israel is the agressor here because it does not want the Mullahs of Iran to nuke them?

    Well, Israel didn't want Iran to have nuclear power and desalination plants.. that's why they began threatening Iran.

    Same with Jordan.. Israel wants to dictate who can do what.. Its asinine.. Jordan and Iran both need nuclear power and desal... Have for years and years.

    :roll: Oh really? Iran does not enrich their uranium for "desalination" purposes! http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/30/world/meast/iran-nuclear/index.html
    Lie harder next time. No one believes you.

    They do since Israel started threatening them...

    Remember Israel bombed both Iraq and Syria.. Iran doesn't want that to happen to them.

    :roll: This is a nice illogical circle jerk you've got going here. Iraq's nuclear weapon capabilities were wiped out in a surgical strike and Syria is hit when Syria allows terrorists to bomb Israel from inside it's borders with impunity. Israel does not strike without provication. Iraq and Syria both first tried to exterminate Israel during the Six Day War in 1967. It didn't work out too well for both those agressors then.

    Israel responds to Iran's military provecations and under ordinary circumstances, certainly doesn't attack because they feel like it.
    Iran has announced many times before the world that they prefer to see a world without Israel and then begin secret operations to build a nuclear weapon.

    At least you aren't dumb enough to deny that Iran is building a nuclear bomb.

    How will Iran suddenly control the Persian Gulf and 60% of the world's oil supply?

    If Iran attempted to nuke any fleet that entered the Straits, they would face nuclear retaliation.

    If Obama actually doesn't attack Iran with Israel, it will be the first good thing he's done in 4 years.

    The idea that they may control some percentage of the worlds oil supply .. they already do. Having nukes is not going to change this.

    Iran may already have nukes. The stuff that dissappeared from the Soviet Union after the wall fell went somewhere.

    Look at where Iran sits Geographically and consider who would be a willing buyer. Iran comes up as #1 on my list by a mile.

    How can the problem of putting a nuclear weapon in the hands of a bunch of nutcase theocrats that have a thirteenth century mindset be resolved by Turkey, Egypt etc.?
    It can't! Or it would have been by now (Turkey refuses to back U.N. sanctions against Iran http://www.raceforiran.com/obama’s-charade-on-iran-sanctions )
    And now the reluctance of the Obama regime to do anything meaningful to deter Iran proves once again that in the face of agression, the world usually looks away and makes the inevitable price of dealing with crazy zealots just that much more unpleasant and costly.

    Indeed Obama has been sending Iran secret messages that only enourage their agression and intransigence http://www.theblaze.com/stories/pap...-iran-if-israel-attacks-we-wont-get-involved/.

    Well, that's the propaganda line.. and if you believe that I understand.

    This mess with Iran is about them needing nuclear power and desalination .. and their determination not to have it bombed like Iraq and Syria.

    Obama needs to keep hands off re: Iran.. The Saudis, Turks and Egyptians are working on this problem.

    We can't be goaded into a war because of Bibi's irrational hysteria.

    Iran is pretty sophisticated and they have outstanding Universities and Med schools.

    The more I think about it, the more I think it's BS. Obama knows that he'll score political points saying this with liberals and libertarians, so he's trying to get them to come out to vote in November. Then he'll return to his warmongering ways. Sorry Barry, I see right through you. And I hope the American people do too.

    They are Muslim fanatics.

    The Iranians plan to win the war and force the whole world to accept Islam.

    And they really don't care how many people on their side have to die to accomplish that.
