    Why is it that it's ok for Israel to have nuclear weapons and NOT Iran. I'd rather see Iran with nuclear weapons than Israel. There is NO circumstance for military action against Iran at this time.

    Peace
    total agreement here.


    our situation with Israel is disgraceful.

  • What are you talking about?
    Israel does NOT have nuclear weapons.
    They emphatically deny that they would be the ones to "nuclearize" the region.
    :rolleyes:


    Didn't they kidnap and lock up a scientist because he admitted they had nukes (which everyone knows anyway)?

    and technically it's a violation of US law to give aid to Israel or any country with a secret nuclear program (as well as selling them weapons used on civilians)

    if it's packaged properly'

    Israel would NEVER do that.

    Definitely! Even if they did discover any traces of weapons-grade Uranium or Plutonium in Israel, I'd have to blame the Iranians for it. Its the only logical conclusion one can make.

    Edit: Or maybe even Morocco? The guy is from Morocco, he must be a terrorist.

    Then it picked up again near the end of his speech. Infact I had it on video, It's probably back in Florida. I'll have to try and dig that up for you guys.

    Hahaha classic :D.. you wouldn't expect any less from them

    To answer the OP, an invasion of the US by Iran is the only justification I can think of and I don't see that happening in the next 500-1000 years.
  • pateljampateljam Posts: 340
    If initiated by the US or someone else like Israel or the UK or wherever?

    Not stopping it's nuclear power program? An attack attributed to Iran (meaning they supplied the attackers with material and/or help)?

    An Iranian warship off the coast of California would justify miltary action

  • "Judaism Condemns Zionist Provocations Against Iran"

    Classic.
    :D

    Just to show exactly HOW opposite Zionism and Judaism are and ALWAYS have been,
    this is a quote straight out of the diary of the man who is the damn near founding father of Zionism, Theodore Hertzel, who published the first book of great importance to Zionism, "Der Judenstaat" (The Jewish State):

    In the diary of Hertzel, page 14, he writes a way to solve the problem of anti-Semitism was to speak to the head priest of Vienna to get an appointment with the Pope, to make a mass conversion of all the Jews of Austria to Catholicism. He continues: "It should be done on a Sunday, in the middle of the day, with music, and pride, publicly. We are the last generation that held on to the faith of our for-fathers. The conversion would be in St. Stephen's Cathedral."

    Jew or Zionist?

  • "Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death". - Adolph Hitler

    "Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country".- Nazi leader Hermann Goering

    "The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror. [The public] will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened"
    - Josef Stalin

    OH So TRUE!
  • Grace7Grace7 Posts: 53
    No no no. I can't see an attack happening. I really believe that there was a window of time that it seemed very likely that we would strike, or provoke an attack when we sent half the bloody navy to the Straits of Harmuz/ Persian Gulf. I believe the neo cons thought the moment was right but I don't think the military was on board.Remember the Admiral that resigned? Damn I have a bad memory! Anyway I think the moment passed. Maybe it was the soaring oil prices.
    Do you really see people pouring into the streets to defend Israel if there was a false flag attack on them?
    Wouldn't it be political suicide?


    The day will come when any candidate for US office will fail if they have any association w/ Israeli lobbies.

    NEVER!!!! how dare you insinuate such things! the US is benevolent and the defenders of freedom!

    I don't know if it's sadder the crew that shot down that civilian airliner received medals for it or that we said we refused to apologize

    and yes that whole medal thing was as disgusting as the joyous display from women i saw when OJ was acquitted of hacking his exwife and her friend to death.

    Another slimy item: When Bush1 launched Desert Storm there were all these reports of the Iraqi soldiers going into Kuwaiti hospitals and throwing babies out of incubators and onto the cold floor. Then this young Kuwaiti girl said she was there, in the hospital. and saw the whole thing.
    It was later discovered that she was the daughter of the Kuwait Ambassador to US. It had been arranged by Rep.Tom Lantos (D) CA and a PR firm in DC. Now although Lantos was the Chairman of Foreign Relations Committee and many other powerful commitees, he was first and foremost a Jewish concentration camp survivor and therfore untouchable!! Not only that he was treated as the last word on all foreign relations because he was a kid in a German concentration camp!!
    You just can't believe anything from these people. He was huge supporter of Iraq war against Iran and thought Saddam should be given all support needed so that thru the war it would contain the fast growing population of Iran!!
    What a peach. He gave up his seat when he died a few years ago.
