Aztec Warrior Posted September 14, 2008 #77 Share Posted September 14, 2008 QUOTE (Aztec Warrior @ Sep 13 2008, 12:15 PM) * Are you seriously supporting Iran having nuclear weapons? Obama wants to discuss it and maybe bring it up at the UN. No I don't. However starting a war using the Bush doctrine as you advocate is criminal in my opinion. I have never advocated starting a war nor have I ever voiced an opinion regarding the "Bush Doctrine". What I have stated is that doing NOTHING about Iranian nukes is akin to having no policy at all....and that is dangerous. Next time, at least try to put a little effort and quote me as opposed to putting words in my mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From today's headlines. Iran stalls probe into alleged atom bomb research: IAEA By Mark Heinrich 2 hours, 51 minutes ago VIENNA (Reuters) - A U.N. inquiry into intelligence allegations of secret atom bomb research in Iran has reached a standstill because of Iranian non-cooperation, an International Atomic Energy Agency report said on Monday. link Edited September 15, 2008 by Aztec Warrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't normally take the side of Republicans, but I have to here. I think it is dangerous to talk anything out with Iran. If you can't tell their president is absolutely nuts by the statements he makes in public, then you are as crazy as he is. Allowing him to come anywhere near uranium is dangerous. Simply put. We've tried talking to him - he doesn't listen. By continuing the talks, as Obama proposes, you're just giving him more time to develop nuclear technology. We need stiff economic sanctions immediately, until he cooperates. If he chooses not to cooperate, then let Israel handle it their way.

BlindMessiah Posted September 15, 2008 #81 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Yes, I don't see how Iran is a US problem. If they ever come close to developing a nuclear warhead Israel will strike. Israel is very familar with the Bush Doctrine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjadude Posted September 16, 2008 #82 Share Posted September 16, 2008 There you go again. Where have I disparaged diplomacy? The only thing I have disparaged is a policy of DO NOTHING.There is a time for diplomacy and a time to realize when diplomacy has not worked. Ok if you say so. But that still does not answer what you want to do now? The majority of your kind are ready to bomb Iran today. But even if you're wanting diplomacy then your view appears to agree that a "preventative" preemptive war is available aka the "Bush Doctrine". I do not. And feel that it is most likely criminal if not immoral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is today's headline about the bully in the gulf. Maybe you should go over there and sing silly peace not war chants with them, because they are so reasonable. Iran boasts its forces can control the Gulf Sep 16 10:31 AM US/Eastern Iran has the power to control the Gulf as no vessel can cross the vital seaway without coming in range of its sophisticated weaponry, a top aide to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday. The sabre-rattling comments from General Rahim Yahya Safavi came a day after the International Atomic Energy Agency accused Iran of stalling its investigation into the country's nuclear drive. "Responsibility for defending the Persian Gulf has been handed over to the naval forces of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps," Safavi was quoted as saying by the official news agency IRNA. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stardrive Posted September 16, 2008 #94 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) You are worse than McCain if you think we're buying this. In other words, you did'nt watch the townhall meeting either or maybe I'm assuming you didnt. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment. That last line above is the silliest thing I've seen at U-M this week. If you think the dispute is about who gets to use the analogy, then you're too dang stupid to vote anyway. I was'nt the originator of making it an issue. I was replying to someone who did. It's obvious to me that you're not that stupid, so where does that leave us? I would suggest reading my reply to Pinky Floyd's post again. It is possible you mis-read. There is no question at all that Obama said this with the full knowkledge that he was referring to Palin. And you know this for a fact how? You don't, your assuming. The audience obviously knew it as well. And you know this for a fact how? You don't, your assuming again. But I say - so what? What I don't say is some happy crap about how wrong the other side is and how stupid people are that listen. Your words, not mine. I said watch it for yourself and decide. Where were you when Obama did almost exactly the same thing to Bill Clinton? Did that cause you to decide to "think about it some more?" In fact it did. Geez, you wouldn't know it from the pretense of naivete in your post. Harte Again, your assuming. Fact is, I think both candidates have good qualities. I want reasons TO vote for one or the other and I still havent decided. I just feel that how a campaign is managed is somehow indicative of how they will manage the Whitehouse.

You Liberals just never learn, you want endless dialogue for the sake of peace and in the mean time the Mahmouds of the world keeps getting stronger and nothing really gets done except the show of us being peace lovers and using diplomacy. Look at Kim of N Korea, Clinton used diplomacy, talked to him, made a deal with him and after all that all they can say is Kim tricked them. Bush then cut the dialogue and put pressure on Kim instead to agree to certain things before talking. and now No Korea has opened up and we now are talking to them. See how it works?

The only people who thinks Bush is nuts, are the worldwide leftist's and liberals like yourself. I will post just ONE article for you from Tuesday's news. Try to do just a little research, will ya. France pushing for more sanctions against Iran By JAMEY KEATEN, Associated Press Writer Tue Sep 16, 10:12 AM ET PARIS - The Security Council should impose more sanctions on Iran over its stonewalling of a U.N. investigation into allegations that Tehran tried to make nuclear weapons, France said Tuesday. link If you dig a little deeper, you might remember that Sarkozy threatened to nuke Tehran about a year ago. Besides Russia, Cuba, Veneuzla and a few other nations, who is supporting Iran and it's drive to a nuclear weapon? Just the wack jobs on the left.
