Webb ‘Very Worried’ Bush’s Iran Provocations ‘Might Set Something Off In There’
Webb ‘Very Worried’ Bush’s Iran Provocations ‘Might Set Something Off In There’
President Bush has ratcheted up military pressure on Iran in recent months, most notably by dispatching two naval carrier groups to the Persian Gulf, “the largest concentration of naval power projection in that region” since the start of the Iraq war. Vice President Cheney explained that sending the carriers “sends a very strong signal to everybody in the region” that “we clearly have significant capabilities…to deal with the Iranian threat.”
Tonight on Hardball, Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) said that during his time as Navy Secretary under President Reagan — and “until very recently” — the U.S. “never operated” aircraft carriers within the Gulf because it risked confrontation. “The chance of accidentally bumping into something that would start a diplomatic situation was pretty high,” Webb explained. “With the tensions as high as they are, I’m very worried that we might accidentally set something off in there and we need, as a Congress, to get ahead of the ballgame here.”
Watch it:
Transcript:
And you know, one thing, if you look at where we are in the Persian Gulf right now, when I was Secretary of the Navy and until very recently, we never operated carrier — aircraft carriers inside the Persian Gulf because, number one, the turning radius is pretty close, and number two, the chance of accidentally bumping into something that would start a diplomatic situation was pretty high. We now have been doing that, and with the tensions as high as they are, I’m very worried that we might accidentally set something off in there and we need, as a Congress, to get ahead of the ballgame here.

Amazing. This is about the zillionth post in a month about an incoming attack on Iran by Think Progress. Obsess much?
What’s funny is that the only thing Bush has talked about is the FACT (read the recent NIE) that Iranians are meddling in Iraq. That’s it.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:08 pmIf a nuclear strike is made on Iran, the resulting calamity will very likely cause gasoline prices to soar as high as $10 per gallon, it has been suggested. If that happens, I cannot see how the economy will be able to sustain itself.
I certainly would not be able to even afford the 70 mile round trip drive to my place of work.
What will we do? It’s occurring to me that we are facing a disaster far beyond the Iraq situation, which is bad enough.
It’s also occurring to me that people are unable to fathom that what is about to happen is even real.
It’s as if the country is drifting into a dream world, or a nightmare world.
I find it hard to believe that after all these years of speaking out and activism, we have still come to this point. After all we have learned about our government, and how to avoid such problems, we are about to reach the edge of the abyss.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:08 pmWow what a genius.. an attack might happen in the middle of a war.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:09 pmSeizon: Well it’s the Progressive thing nowadays to root for your avowed barbaric Klingonesque enemies.
Some guy in HuffPuff called it Patriotic Terrorism.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:10 pmSeixon
You think it’s funny? Funny that Bush is planning to do a major nuclear strike.
You know damn well there is plenty of evidence of this. It’s coming in from all over.
You just choose to close your eyes.
How stupid are you? You will look pretty stupid when you’re standing in your front yard without a pot to piss in, or a job to go to.
Now that might be funny.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:11 pmReports suggest that Russia hassold 29 anti-aircraft missiles to Iran, despite U.S. protests…
…I’d venture to guess that there will be a number of sophisticated weapons sales from China and russia to Iran before this is over…
…Bushiva and L’il Dick may well get what they’ve been selling wolf tickets about…
…evil al Crackkker criminals that they are, they think the country will rally around them and forget about Iraq…
…I pray they get what they’ve got coming to them…
…their brand of habaeus corpus…
February 7th, 2007 at 8:11 pmChildren : what are you nervous about? Why would the US nuke Iran in order to prevent them from using non-Fossil Fuel -based electricity. I think you’re being paranoid. Iran is not a threat. They just want to generate green energy like all other peace loving theocracies.
:/sarcasm:
February 7th, 2007 at 8:16 pmVinceP
I wish I was being paranoid. Unfortunately this is real.
The Country and Congress are in deep denial.
Walking about in a dream, or the fog of war.
Unable to wake up and realize what is about to happen.
Like watching a car accident, you want to stop it but you can’t even scream out.

Meanwhile, Air Force planners have modeled attacks against existing Iranian air defenses and targets, while Navy planners have evaluated coastal defenses and drawn up scenarios for keeping control of the Strait of Hormuz at the base of the Persian Gulf.
A follow-on TIRANNT Campaign Analysis, which began in October 2003, calculated the results of different scenarios for action against Iran to provide options for analyzing courses of action in an updated Iran war plan. According to military sources close to the planning process, this task was given to Army Gen. John P. Abizaid, now commander of CENTCOM, in 2002.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:21 pmWhen it happens it won’t be an accident. The Republican party is dead. They’ve been exposed as the radical weirdos on the same level as sandal wearing madrasa bots.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:21 pmAbizaid. Wasn’t he responsible for Abu Graib? Jeez. It’s not enough to just torture people, now he’s going to start WWIII.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:23 pmAmazing. This is about the zillionth post in a month about an incoming attack on Iran by Think Progress. Obsess much?
I guess now your gonna say the Pentagon Obsesses much?
The two carriers are there likely to keep control of the Strait of Hormuz
February 7th, 2007 at 8:24 pmChildren: I keep getting told by Progressives that Iran isn’t a threat. so even if we were to attack them what exactly are you worried about?
February 7th, 2007 at 8:26 pmAw Cmon TP, that was a good post.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:26 pmSeixon is clearly a troll and disengeniune as no one is truly that retarded. From Hersh’s articles with sources in the Pentagon to Pentagons war games to Generals revolt last summer about Nuclear attack plans rejected. Do yourself a favor and read Vanity Fair’s march issue and get back to us.

Given the Failure in Chiefs HISTORICAL COLLOSSAL track record why do you remain in denial? When did you personally stop defending the failure and what flavor is their paste today?
February 7th, 2007 at 8:27 pmLir,
You think it’s funny? Funny that Bush is planning to do a major nuclear strike.
I think it’s funny that you make things up out of thin air, like you did here, yes.
You know damn well there is plenty of evidence of this. It’s coming in from all over.
What I do know is that Patrick Lang, Sam Gardiner, and other members of VIPS have been the primary sources for every single big story claiming the Bush administration is planning to attack Iran. So characterizing this as “from all over” is a bit fanciful, don’t you think?
You just choose to close your eyes.
Well, I will when I go to sleep in a sec, but I suggest you open your eyes and READ something instead of just making things up in your head.
How stupid are you? You will look pretty stupid when you’re standing in your front yard without a pot to piss in, or a job to go to.
Huh? Was that even meant to make sense? Bush attacks Iran and then I’m out of a job? Sorry, I don’t follow you. As for who is stupid, these guys have been claiming this Iran attack stuff for 2 years. Two years. It hasn’t happened yet. When’s it going to happen??
Now that might be funny.
I would never wish for you to be homeless and unemployed, regardless of what you believe. Apparently you’re not as compassionate….
Night.

Iran is not interested in attacking US. But Iran is capable of inflicting significant damage on our economy if we attack them.
It’s not a difficult concept.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:32 pmSeixon
February 7th, 2007 at 8:33 pmYou are ignorant, in the sense of word - you ignore the facts to suit your prejudices and assumptions.
Abizaid is retiring. He is being replaced as Commander of Central Command by Navy Adm. William J. Fallon
February 7th, 2007 at 8:33 pmAmazing. This is about the zillionth post in a month about an incoming attack on Iran by Think Progress. Obsess much? Comment by Seixon — February 7, 2007 @ 8:08 pm
That wouldn’t be so funny, if virtually every post on your blog wasn’t a smack at TP, Plame or Global Warming. Hypocrisy much?
What’s funny is that the only thing Bush has talked about is the FACT (read the recent NIE) that Iranians are meddling in Iraq. That’s it.
Comment by Seixon — February 7, 2007 @ 8:08 pm
But he isn’t talking about the Saudis meddling, and sending weapons that are downing our helicopters. Wonder why that is?
February 7th, 2007 at 8:33 pmSeixon
February 7th, 2007 at 8:34 pmI said it ‘might’ be funny if you hadn’t a job - might be funny because you are like the child whistling past the graveyard. You are too scared to face the truth.
Children: Iran attacked soverign US terrority in 1979. Iran has attacked the US Marines in Beirut via its proxy. Iran attacked US barracks at Khobar Towers via proxy. Iran funds Hezbellah, which was the #1 Islamic killer of Americans pre- 9/11.
Iran has been attacking us relentlessly.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:35 pmHuh? Was that even meant to make sense? Bush attacks Iran and then I’m out of a job? Sorry, I don’t follow you. As for who is stupid, these guys have been claiming this Iran attack stuff for 2 years. Two years. It hasn’t happened yet. When’s it going to happen??
That wouldn’t be so funny, if the neocons hadn’t been working up to attacking Iraq for almost 10 years.
You’re right, you don’t follow anything, especially a rational train of thought, or sequence of events. You completely fix the facts to avoid reality - as most cultists do.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:35 pmI would believe Jim Webb before anyone in this administration — and Seixon & Vinnie.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:37 pmVinceP
The US overthrew the democratically elected IRan government in 1954 because the democratically elected President Mossadegh was going to nationalize the oil industry. So the CIA sent in Kermit Roosevelt, grandson of Theodore, and a CIA agent, to fund and bribe people to overthrow Mossadegh. Then we installed the SHAH. The Shah was more ruthless and brutal than Saddam. The IRanian people, who had elected a President, were now faced with a brutal dictator, thanks to the US. HEnce, they hated us and eventually took hostages in order to get RID OF THE SHAH.
And so here we are today. Again threatening to destroy Iran. And blowback is a b.t.ch
February 7th, 2007 at 8:41 pmZooey: you should believe the Iranians at least. Or are they liars too?
Is anyone who pops your increasingly obsolete world view a liar?
These peopel are liars too:
“Commandant of Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, said on state television. “God willing, the 21st century will see the defeat of the U.S. and the Zionists, and the victory of freedom-seeking nations of the world. The final goal of the [1979] revolution is to create global Islamic rule and a regime of law to be led by the Imam Mahdiâ€.
“The [Iranians] President’s chief strategist, Hassan Abbassi, has come up with a war plan based on the premise that “Britain is the mother of all evils†– the evils being America, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, the Gulf states and even Canada, all of whom are the malign progeny of the British Empire. “We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization,†says Mr Abbassi. “There are 29 sensitive sites in the U.S. and in the West. We have already spied on these sites and we know how we are going to attack them… Once we have defeated the Anglo-Saxons the rest will run for cover.â€
“The IRGC chief warned that Iran was seeing through “critical days†and “fate-determining yearsâ€. He described the purpose of Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution as the “Salvation of Muslims†from the hands of the “oppressive U.S. and Israelâ€.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:45 pmVince, stop embarrassing yourself. This isn’t HANNITY chat where you can spew biased drivel and see if it sticks. You cannot make those assertions and historical contextual assertions by ommitting CIA coup and installing the Shah, Arming Saddam, providing logistics of Iran troops, satelite images, attacking their Navy, and internal espionage. Silly child TP is for adults. We have been attacking and subverting their soverignty since the 40’s!!!!!!!!! Shees, what a chump.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:45 pmChildrenofLir : Yes, I heard that story about 1023085934690 times now.
Guess what.. Iran wants to nuke your ass.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:46 pmI’d pay top dollar to see Webb beat the shit out of W.

This is how much the Mullahs in Iran care about the political entity called iran (not at all). Mullahs aren’t Communists , they dont care about your anti-Americanism,, they care about your Kuffarness.
We do not worship Iran, we worship Allah. For patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land [Iran] burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.

I’d think the US and UK were the mothers of all evil too if I were Iranian. After what the US and UK have done to the Middle East for 100 years in the name of oil, I’m starting to agree with the Iranians.

It is the Chief Iranian Nuclear negiotator on Iranian TV blantantly stating that they used the years of talks with Europe as cover to continue its work on getting fuel cycle.
These people can’t be talked to, they are deceitful and count on Western wishful thinking so they can take advantage of it.
Some quotes:
Those (in Iran) who criticize us and claim that we should have only worked with the IAEA do not know that at that stage – that is, in August 2003 – we needed another year to complete the Esfahan (UCF) project, so it could be operational.
The regime adopted a twofold policy here: It worked intensively with the IAEA, and it also conducted negotiations on international and political levels. The IAEA gave us a 50-day extension to suspend the enrichment and all related activities. But thanks to the negotiations with Europe we gained another year, in which we completed (the UCF) in Esfahan.
Esfahan’s (UCF) was completed during that year. Even in Natanz, we needed six to twelve months to complete the work on the centrifuges. Within that year, the Natanz project reached a stage where the small number of centrifuges required for the preliminary stage, could operate. In Esfahan, we have reached UF4 and UF6 production stages.
We suspended the UCF in Esfahan in October 2004, although we were required to do so in October 2003. If we had suspended it then, (the UCF) in Esfahan would have never been completed. Today we are in a position of power: (The UCF) in Esfahan is complete and UF4 and UF6 gasses are being produced. We have a stockpile of products, and during this period, we have managed to convert 36 tons of Yellow Cake into gas and store it. In Natanz, much of the work has been completed
Thanks to our dealings with Europe, even when we got a 50-day ultimatum, we managed to continue the work for two years. This way we completed (the UCF) in Esfahan. This way we carried out the work to complete Natanz, and on top of that, we even gained benefits
Host: Mr. Musavian, there is a point that our viewers might find interesting - the comparison between Iran’s nuclear activity dossier and North Korea’s.
There is a belief that if we adopted the North Korean model, we could have stood much stronger against the excessive demands of America and Europe.
Musavian: During these two years of negotiations, we managed to make far greater progress than North Korea. North Korea’s most important achievement had to do with security guarantees. We achieved the same thing a year ago in the negotiations with the Europeans. They agreed to give us international guarantees for Iran’s security, its national rule, its independence, non-intervention in its internal affairs, its national security, and not invading it.

THe US is the cause of the mullahs coming to power. When we installed the Shah as our puppet dictator, and he ravaged the country, the extremists rose to power to fight the Shah. It is the normal flow of things.
When some outsider comes and destroys your home, you turn to the neighborhood thugs to protect you.
Anyone with even a partial brain would understand this.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:54 pmChildrenofLir : The Iranian people are among the most Pro-American in the Middle east. Wrong again.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:55 pmVinceP
You’re the one throwing insults about how the Iranians are going to nuke my ass.
Now you’re losing and you just can’t take it.
It’s simple.
You don’t have a leg to stand on, or an argument that you can defend.
You just have prejudices and inanities poured into your brain by FOX news and the PResident and you buy it all.
February 7th, 2007 at 8:56 pmVinceP
February 7th, 2007 at 8:57 pmYou contradict yourself at every turn. You are no longer worth responding to.

“I find it hard to believe that after all these years of speaking out and activism, we have still come to this point. After all we have learned about our government, and how to avoid such problems, we are about to reach the edge of the abyss.”
I don’t know how many times Leftists need to learn the lesson that their natural inclination to suckle at the teat of America’s enemies results in the bolstering of the forces of totalitarianism.
WHERE ARE THE HUMAN SHIELDS OF 2003 TO PROTECT THE IRAQI PEOPLE NOW?

That’s not true. Iran wants to nuke Israel’s ass, and the feeling is mutual I’m sure.
The US is just a meddler as far as they’re concerned. You can try again with another talking point.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:00 pmChildren: obviously you have trouble keeping compartmentalized the Iranian Theocratic Regime and the population held captive to it.
Who can’t handle the truth? hmm.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:00 pmValian: Israel is the Little Satan. The US is the Great Satan. Don’t be misled by pragmatism.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:00 pmVince - you are wrong, and you’re hysterical, and even John Wayne himself would slap you right about now.
Go hang out at Free Republic, or Stormfront, or wherever the mouthbreathers hang out nowadays.

That would have been great advice for Nixon, Ford and Reagan, when he was supporting fanatical religious leaders to fight the ‘commies’. That pragmatism is what gave you the Shah, the mullahs, Al Qaeda and Saddam. So, before lecturing others on the dangers of ‘pragmatism’, look no further than the decades of your side screwing up.

What would be the point of attacking Iran? We would be much better served negotiating than entering into a war with them. Attacking Iran it seems is the only solution this administration has to overcoming the failure of its misconceived Iraq policy. Attacking Iran may solve the problem of losing face in the short term, but in the long term we’ll just get our butt kicked. Tactically, we do not have the capacity to invade and occupy Iran. That leaves us with the choice of bombing. Over the short term, this will destroy their limited development of nuclear capabilities. Over the long, however, it could destroy us.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:05 pmFirst it will make Iran a permanent enemy …. right now there is the possibility of negotiation, peace and friendship. If we attack though, it will cause generations of enmity.
Second, and most importantly, Russian and China are Iran’s big buddies. Do we really want to have a conflict with them, militarily or economically? Do we really want another Cold War that will be worse than the last, or World War III?
Thirdly, attacking Iran encourages other ‘rogue’ nations to believe in the fact that developing nuclear capability is the only way to stave off an invasion by the Imperial US military. Also, since our capabilities will be even more occupied, will encourage these nations to commit acts they would not do if we were able to effectively counter them.
Thinking pragmatically about this situation and the consequences is more ballsy, I think, than going in guns blazing without asking any questions. If one thinks they will look weak by negotiating and not attacking then they have serious issues of insecurity, and this goes for nations as well as individuals.
>the inept republican leadership.
Well there… see there is something we agree on.

VinceP is like the PResident, he’ll say anything, at any moment, contradict himself at every turn, cause he can’t handle the truth.
Ignore VinceP and he will go away.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:06 pmChirac was speaking truth in his ‘gaffe’ this week (Chirac is a wily bastard). There is no reason to suspect that for all the bluster Iran will use any nuke they have - Mutually Assured Destruction worked for US and USSR, no reason why Iran and Israel can’t figure it out. Do I support an Iranian bomb - no. Can anyone stop it short of using nukes themselves? No.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:06 pmAshen: I haven’t advocated attacking Iran.
I just scoff at this hysteria that simulataneously holds
1) Iran would just rather mind its own business, thank you.
and
2) The US is going to destroy Iran just for the hell of it, and in retaliation there will be massive pain inflicted on the US by the nation that is harmless.
I hold onto these three positions
1 - Acknoweldge thier ongoing war against the US and dont pretend its not happen
2 - Actively deny them the ability to carry out their deliberate destablization of Iraq
3 - Deny them nuclear capability.
The prefered solution is for the people of Iran to rise up and get rid of the cavemen.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:08 pmI still remember when Bush first started talking about attacking Iraq six months before he did it. At that time, attacking Iraq sounded completely ludicrous and out of the question, just like attacking Iran does now.
Trolls, stories keep being posted about Bush attacking Iran because we now know what Bush is capable of doing, and because we know he’s insane and because we know he doesn’t give a shit about humanity.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:09 pm“Ignore VinceP and he will go away”
That’s how you handle anything that doesn’t compute in your social paradise of 1968 isn’t it?
February 7th, 2007 at 9:10 pmCan anyone stop it short of using nukes themselves? No.
Sorry Terry but that’s the talk of very stupid people. It is extreme cowardice, in my opinion, to say there’s nothing that can be done short of using nuclear weapons.
That’s just laziness and cowardice.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:10 pmWilly: and the Iranians care?
ARe you seriously making the case that Bush is worse than that regime. well of course you are, cuz you’re a “Progressive” and reality doesn’t pertain.
But Jesus people.. the extent of your BDS is frightening.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:12 pmWilly
February 7th, 2007 at 9:13 pmI remember too, back in 2002, in the summer, the faux news channels starting talking up an attack on Iraq. I couldn’t believe at the time that we would do that. But as the Fall progressed, it became clearer that in fact Bush was hell bent on doing just that. ANd we watched in horror as the insanity unfolded.
55: And who are they?
February 7th, 2007 at 9:13 pmWill someone dig up the article ( try Informatuon Clearing House) which lists the likely outcome of an Israeli-US air strike on Iran?
1. Maybe irans program is slowed 3-5 years.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:14 pm2. Iran unleasehes merry hell across the Gulf - oil price soars.
3. Iranian people forget about how idiotic the mullahs are as a government and respond with fierce nationalism.
4. Iran sets Iraq on fire with 100ks of soldiers
5. Saudi Arabia joins the war in Iraq.
6. Jesus returns to earth and blows the whistle…
That’s how you handle anything that doesn’t compute in your social paradise of 1968 isn’t it? Comment by Vince P — February 7, 2007 @ 9:10 pm
Spoken like someone hiding under their desk, waiting for the commies to launch first strike.

Comment by Vince P — February 7, 2007 @ 9:12 pm
So far, Iran hasn’t invaded its neighbor based on a lie, and killed over 600,000 people. How exactly do ‘you’ measure worse? What you ‘believe’ someone is capable of, or based on what someone has actually done?
Accusing people of BDS, while being a bush cultist and islamophobe, is the height of irony. I can see we have another lame old warhorse still living out their fear of commies.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:16 pm5. Saudi Arabia joins the war in Iraq.
Comment by TerrytheTurtle — February 7, 2007 @ 9:14 pm
It’s already happened. The 5 downed copters were the work of saudi financed sunni warriors, not Iranians. While Bush’s brownshirts like Vince are fixated on Iran, the Saudis are stabbing us in the back.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:17 pmThat was fantastic logic Vince. You must be a genius at critical thinking. They are not a threat when not provoked therefore they cannot possibly be a threat after attacked. You had better go hit the books or you’ll get kicked out of “Your Crap Town City College”.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:18 pmAd hominem attack Children , are you calling me stupid and cowardly?
Let me clarify my point and give you the chance to apologize:
Can anyone stop Iran developing a nuclear device without themselves using a nuclear weapon? Practically no - unless the Iranians choose not to. In this environent, where Kim I’ll Sung proves my point, the answer is no.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:18 pmLet me see if I have your argument straight Vince:
1. You’re tired of hearing about the possible U.S. strike against Iran because this will never happen
2. Iran is already at war with us so we should attack them
3. Do not attack but contain them.
Seems pretty consistent and well thought out to me.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:18 pm#50 Vince P
The Iranian people won’t rise up against their government en mass until the Iranian government is their only enemy. Right now, we provide the rhetoric against Iran that allows to point the finger at us and give enough of the people a scapegoat to blame all their problems on. Bush has done it from the beginning, not giving Iran a chance, thats been his policy. His policy also caused a liberalize Iran to do an about face and go conservative again. Bush created this ‘enemy’.
The only instance Iran is fighting the US is for influence in Iraq. That would not be a problem if we had not invaded and created that political vacuum. We had a nice policy of allowing them to go at each other thus keeping either from being a threat. As for Iran’s involvement in the violence in Iraq, it is minimal. We are doing a good enough job a destabilizing Iraq on our own.
There is a lot more good will for America from the Iranian people than is portrayed in American media. If we bomb them, you can say good bye to that good will.
Why should they not be allowed nuclear capability? They will get it one way or another. Heck, why the hell did Bush trade secret nuclear technology to India for mangos?

February 7th, 2007 at 9:21 pmWebb is a smart man. At the very least, the posturing is meant to antagonize and intimidate. As should be readily apparent however, the Middle Easterners are a hard lot to impress with show of force and it only serves to piss ‘em off. We need to get rid of Bush, to get some diplomacy back into politics so that our brand of freedom isn’t defined by how pushy we can be in the schoolyard. That sort of behavior doesn’t win friends, it only makes the opposition want to mimic that same behavior. The repetition becomes laborious and self-defeating, George Bush, just like you.

This regime’s days are numbered, for a multitude of reasons. If they weren’t pursuing a eschatological nuclear program there wouldn’t be so much risk at letting them continue with thier nuclear work.
But now there’s a race, with two finish lines that are of an indeterminate date… does Iran get the bomb they need in order to fullfil thier religious mission, or do thier people overthrow them for the poverty striken hell the country has become.
It’s obvious why they shouldnt be allowed to have such a weapon. If you’re as knoweldgable about the place as you purport then you would know that answer.

I think it’s so great (sarcasm) when Americans discuss whether or not another country’s government should be toppled.
We can’t even control our own government. Yet we think we’re in a position to intelligently and coolly discuss what the IRanians people should do. It’s the height of arrogance.
Maybe they could get the Shah’s son back. He’s roaming around looking for a dictatorship to fill.

February 7th, 2007 at 9:35 pm#76 Vince P.
I may not have been clear enough, so let me clarify. If we would let Iran alone and not have started in the first place with all this rhetoric against them, then the government would have nothing to pin on us. The people wouldn’t have an outside enemy, they would have their own government to blame. They would be more focused on issues such as the restrictive religious laws which the majority are against, and would see that even though their current president promised economic change, nothing much has happened and they are still in poverty due to the radical conservative posturing of the regime. Then they would rise up, and their would be a more liberal government to take the place of the nutso conservative one their now.
February 7th, 2007 at 9:35 pmWhat is funny is that despite everything, Ahmadinejad lost an important local election recently, so the people in Iran are slowly coming around through a democratic process. We should not interfere with this.

So that was ‘after’ we overthrow their democratically elected government, and helped install a dictator by force? Is that war, or were they simply defending themselves?
If you’re going to count ‘proxy’ wars, the the US is at war with virtually everyone on the planet, including Iran! What about those separatist groups in Iraq that we supported to produce acts of terrorism in Iran? I can’t imagine why they’d respond in kind - can you?

This is what I think will happen. (not what I want to happen, but what I think will happen).
Israel will destroy the Iranian facilities with tactical nukes. At the same time we will attack North Korean facilities. Pakistan is the wildcard , I think we would be attacking them too at the same time.
I think some anti-American actor (person/group) somewhere will have nukes in their possesion alrady and then will counterstrike.

February 8th, 2007 at 12:22 am*Note, so that someone snarky doesn’t say “ah ha! you pasted that!” no crap… so I’m stating the obvious,.. I’m pasting this from somewhere*
The Strait Of Hormuz is the world’s second busiest international strait. The key to the Central Command area is to maintain uninterrupted access to energy resources. The Persian Gulf region contains roughly 68% of the world’s known oil and natural gas reserves. Nearly 25% of the world’s oil supply flows through the Strait of Hormuz on a daily basis. Over 75% of Japan’s oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz. Oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz account for roughly two-fifths of all world traded oil. The Energy Information Administration projects that oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz will double from approximately 15 million barrels of oil in 2005 to 30-34 million barrels per day by 2020, suggesting that ensuring the free flow of oil through the Strait will continue to be an important mission.
