Waiting….

If Iran, or any other nation, used a nuke in a “first strike”, or supplied nukes to terrorists; said nation would cease to exist. The fact that nukes have not been used, by the nations which have them, strongly supports the notion that no one, in their right mind, would use one for offensive purposes.

The real fear is that a nuclear Iran could not be intimidated into supplying oil to “The West”.

and so what? since when does the US have the right or the moral authority to run the world? it doesn’t, and Bush have proven clearly that he hasn’t the skil or brains to do it, either. you are such a coward that you are still buying the fear and smear techniques of someone who clearly is unfit for the job, as proven on 9/11. The Bush family’s longtime friendship and support of anti-democratic heroes of yours like Hitler and the Bin ladens shows them for the traitors they are; your support of the Bush’s shows you for the amoral idiot you are. For Bush, the warmonger-in-chief, to claim that Iran will spark WW3 is nothing but a cruel joke, since he is doing everything in his power to do exactly that. Iran has seen what the world has seen: with their own nuclear weapon, crazed lunatic s like Bush will leave them alone, like he did North Korea, even after they took one of our aircraft! Talk about a wussy coward, Bush is the biggest pantywaist to ever occupy the White House.

So, the 1945 version of the US Army was no where near in as good a shape as was the 1941 version?

You only get a depleted military when you have incompetent leadership in the White House.

Also, why are we to give credit to the Bush administration for ending Iran’s nuclear weapons program in 2003, when that very same administration is recently claiming that Iran has a nuclear weapons program?

Wouldn’t the White House look at this NIE last year, determine that Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapons program, and not try to make everyone believe that the Iranians do have a program?

Isn’t trying to pass off information that you know isn’t true either a case of being a liar, or just being dumber than a bag of hammers?

“Exley” outed himself. Now what will he do?

Horn-rimmed cold-warrior Narcissists, desperately seeking relevancy…

…sad.

From the Washington Post:

“The administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush authorized the sale to Iraq of numerous items that had both military and civilian applications, including poisonous chemicals and deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague.”

Now, are there dual uses for anthrax and bubonic plague I’ve never heard of? Or is Exley talking out his well-worn butt again?

It is rather illogical. Yellowcake would fall into that category but was used as part of the reason to go into Iraq.

Exley, lets face it, this is all about empire building and I think its high time the world stops pursuing such ideologies. The world is discovered and empires and empire building are a thing of the past. Roman history is just that and our leaders need to stop thinking in those type terms. I love my country, even moreso the world as a whole. It seems to me the people on this planet are for the most part insane. We exist on a small planet circling a small star alone in a great, mayhaps infinite sea, trying to own and control things we never can or ever will.

Oh, I have to laugh at this one:

Stalin, a Marxist??? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

You’re obviously a “true believer,” very similar to a cultist who refuses to recognize any failings in your leaders. John Dean has written a book about people like you called “Conservatives Without a Conscience.” But I can see that it’s about as useless arguing with you about it as it would be arguing with a Bishop about glaring discrepencies in scripture. So, you just go on believing that your task-masters are good men and men of good faith who can do no wrong and good luck with that.

A pleasure discussing these issues with you. We don’t agree, but the discussion is civil and mature and respectful. Gotta run now. Have a pleasant evening…I am sure our paths will cross again…

Thats wasn’t me at 253.

I simply pointed out the correction to point out that the reporter made at least one mistake, so it does sort of taint the entire article….It is like a judge’s instruction to a jury ” “If you find that a witness has lied about one thing in his or her testimony, you are free to disregard the entire testimony as false.”

Plus, when you write this: “we sold Iraq poisonous gas and other “non-conventional weapons” as you call them to help them beat the Iranians,” it just ain’t so….We did not. Please see my above responses to Xisithrus…I address this. It is just not the case.

They have been under pressure for some time before Bush’s saber rattling but I am glad that at least you disagree with the Bomb Bomb Bomb crowd.

Xisithrus,

That’s my point…We did NOT sell weaponized poisonous gas to Iraq. There is zero evidence of that. We did sell them some insecticides that could be converted, but as I showed they already had and used poisonous gas long before we sold them anything…
