Libertas,

Kind of hard to take you seriously on your comments about Israel considering you've written that both Jews and Israel are the same as the devil.

Oh, and who exactly says this:

which colors Israeli politics to the point where you hear the claim that Eretz Israel (the true Nation of Israel) should exist from the Nile to the Euphrates!

Thanks in advance!

Sorry... I forgot:

We'd already HAVE a nuclear war!

Ummm...don't be rediculous...

Iran notified the IAEA about construction of their new facility.

Mr. Obama said he had withheld making the intelligence public for months because it “is very important in these kind of high-stakes situations to make sure the intelligence is right”— a clear allusion to former President George W. Bush’s release of intelligence on Iraq seven years ago this month that proved baseless. Mr. Obama’s hand was forced, however, after Iran, apparently learning that the site had been discovered by Western intelligence, delivered a vague, terse letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency on Monday disclosing that it was building a second plant, one that it had never mentioned during years of inspections.

This is some pretty desperate spin going on here.

Talk about...

- - ' "Wasn't McCain the one singing, "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran?" So, by the man's own words I think it would be fair to say that we would already have a nuclear war had he been elected. '
Yeah. Except for that wee little body called the Congress, and things like the War Powers Act.

Of course, adults who have seen the tape of McCain singing his little ditty understand the spirit it was done in.

That ability is lost when too much Alex Jones and too much conspiracy theory has warped your mind.

SmithInJapan: "Sad to hear he's ( Obama's ) taken on a lot of the former moron's ( George W. Bush's ) rhetoric"

Does that mean Obama is the current moron?

sailwind,

If only McCain were president....

Why? He couldn't grasp the obvious like President just did about Iran?

There are no Ahmadinejad Fans on this site because, they don't use this site. Try asking yourself why. Think enlightenment.

Asked about the prospect of using military force to stop Iran from getting the bomb, Obama said, “With respect to the military, I’ve always said that we do not rule out any options when it comes to U.S. security interests, but I will also re-emphasize that my preferred course of action is to resolve this in a diplomatic fashion. It’s up to the Iranians to respond.”

Well said and well played, Mr. President.

That's probably the dumbest thing I've seen here today.

To the US & Israel: **You accuse (yes?) Y O U have the burden or proof.**

"Still, that the rhetoric coming from him (Obama) is similar to his predecessor is a shame."

Hey, Smith! Weren't you the one flirting with Obama so much some time ago? Let's say some 10 months ago..;) Look at what you're saying now! Seems you change your opinion again and again according to the news you're reading.

To the US and Israel: You accuse (yes?) Y O U have the burden or proof.

Iran has nuclear power plants, thousands of centrifuges, and enough uranium hexafluoride to make 100 bombs. That's all the proof necessary. Level it.

I will also re-emphasize that my preferred course of action is to resolve this in a diplomatic fashion. It’s up to the Iranians to respond.”

The Mullahs are laughing.

First thing, Iran is very probable going to come down with a bad case in indignation just before October 1st. & refuse to attend any meetings. If your not there to tells lies you can’t be accused of lying.

Second thing, and this is seriously going to pxxx some people off, but we really are getting to the point where these arguments with religious nutters show we are never going to see an end to the pointless killing. The answer is fear, real & horrible fear, erase Tehran, simply remove it from the map & then tell Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea & anybody else to get their houses in order or face the same consequences. All this drip, drip, drip killing is achieving nothing & will never bring an end to the madness that is Islamic extremism.

Horrible idea? Yes it is, I wouldn’t & couldn’t pretend otherwise. To do so would be a stupid lie. But ask yourselves, is the barbarity reducing, is a degree of understanding in the world increasing? A daily car bomb is becoming the norm & we are constantly being told that we should show tolerance to people that want nothing but the end of our world. The west is fighting a war with its hand tied by morality behind it’s back. A Muslim tourist from anywhere in the world can travel anywhere in the west without fear of getting his throat cut, because we are civilised. But do we have such freedoms?

At some point somebody is going to need to say enough is enough & actually do something that brings this ever growing madness to an end. When we are face by a wild animal that has no moral values talking will not stop it from ripping us apart. And from the point of view of these people who have closed their minds to reason that is what we are doing, talking to a creature that can not hear or understand us. Just what is it we are waiting for, an end to the world that we know, that we want to keep but will lose in time if we do nothing? Perhaps are so called leaders will act when a nuclear weapon does destroy one of our cities. But then why is it we have to wait to lose so many of our innocents before we act?

If the west did destroy Tehran tomorrow and did show that it would never again accept fear as a way of life for its people, making it plane that no country would be again allowed to become a threat there would be some unrest on the streets for a time, but no government in the world would risk that getting out of hand least it be their turn next. The west was strong when it was willing to act, when it was willing to fight, now all it does is try to calm and control. If it is a matter of fighting fire with fire we need to make up our minds to do just that and win, or give up and lose the world we want to pass on you our children. Our world, not theirs.

Then bring it on "Grafton".

I happen to have moved to Iran recently on the prediction that non-religious "nutters" as your self would think that this would be a great solution. I'd rather die along with my Iranian, Afghan, Tajikistani, Iraqi, Senegal, and Nigerian friends (who somehow manage to happily, healthfully, peacfully get by on less than $100 a month), and the other remaining 70 million everyday people in Iran, than to take the side of a filthy rich, selfish, shameless, and consequently clueless, society that you live in.

See you on the other side Grafton, I hope your not serious, but am not surprised that there are many who think just like you. May God have mercy on you.
