Comments on: Report: Iran 2-3 Years From Nuclear Weapon

But London Think Tank Report Says Domestic Opposition To Iranian Leader Could Stop Nuclear Efforts

[j-whitman]

Wasn't that the identical thing Bush & Rice said about Iraq ???

[txgs33]

Who cares if Iran gets tha bomb! They will have it and there's nothin anyone can do about it blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

Seriously, no one has more nukes than the US. If Iran detonates one or two and takes out a couple of cities ( witch they will do in tha future! ) then the US will respond and launch enough nukes to obliterate every square inch of Iran. I wonder if roaches would survive that kind of devastation?

I find it funny that someone would demonstrate such ignorance in public. You are obviously ignorant of the fact that Iran has built their facilities underground so as to be virtually impervious to attack.

Iran, like any other nation has an intrinsic right to generate electricity by nuclear energy.
If Israel would eliminate their nuclear weapons, perhaps Iran would be more receptive to having full time UN inspectors at their reactors. It would be stupid of Iran to continue to burn natural gas to generate electricity when gas is an export cash cow for them.

I find it funny that we are so worried about Iran when we could probably destroy everything they have in about 2 seconds, but then again, the rest of the world would wage war on us for having no mercy on radical terrorists that have been attacking our county for years. Think France could fill our shoes???? I wish them luck.

I think if many of you vengeful commenters realized how much you have in common with the people you bicker with on this site, you would be ashamed and would start discussing issues rather than launching verbal mortar attacks.

Agreed and well stated. There is obviously no shortage of individuals who feel that insult is a suitable tactic in debate.

I have always assumed that the majority of these individuals are not capable of being self-circumspect in regards to their own views and the basis for same.

When faced with facts that support views other than their own, they melt down, revert to the child in them, and lash out with insult.

Some fight growing up tooth and nail, obviously.

It's weird that you could take the user comments from any one issue and apply them to any other issue. They're mostly spiteful attacks aimed against perceived stereotypical people that don't actually exist. "You hate American troops and want terrorists to take over the world!" "Oh yeah? You just want to go out and start wars for oil and fun" As if. I think if many of you vengeful commenters realized how much you have in common with the people you bicker with on this site, you would be ashamed and would start discussing issues rather than launching verbal mortar attacks. Speaking of discussion, I'm curious as to what the Iranian people really feel about all of this. Word is that the people are starting to push against the goverment, but I wonder what's really going on. Anyone ever lived there or visited?

Make that "laughing right up their sleeve"....

Bush appears to be looking for an excuse to attack Iran.

The neocons handed Iran exactly what it wanted when they invaded Iraq. They took out the guy who had kept Iran at bay for decades.

Now, thanks to the neocons, the door is swinging wide open and Bush/Cheney/Rice are trying the sabre-rattling technique to keep Iran from capitalizing on their tremendous strategic blunder.

It won't work. Iran has whaht it's coveted for so long - entree into SE Iraq, and it's all thanks to the neocons.

Iran must be laughing right it's thier sleeve at the neocon's stupidity.

This is a link to Ynetnews stating a plan to hit Iran by or before the end of Walking-Liar term:

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3359232,00.html

US Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns said this month European governments should curtail billions of euros of export credits available for trade with Iran. He also criticized arms deals Russia and China have with Tehran.



"The US goal is to make it virtually impossible to invest in Iran. It's not about stopping sales of dual-use technology. They're trying to keep investors out of Iran and are working hard to keep the price of oil low," said a European diplomat.



"They (the US) think that this is what will hurt Iran most and I think they're right," he added


Are you, guys/gals, happy the price of Oil is low nowaday? Be sure it's not for you that Walking-Liar is lowering the gas price. It's just to make a kill and then he'll turn around and skrew us again.

I think they could have a bomb sooner. Its just a gut feeling. Based on the fact the thier entire nuclear program was hidden. No one actually knows how much or what they have in terms of equipment. I think the main goal is an atomic weapon. Because the temptaion of a nuclear weapon would be too much for a country with regional aspirations. Frankly why not build a bomb. It really would not cost anything if you were building a nuclear reactor anyway. This would be one of the possible reasons they turned down every offer that removed the enrichment cycle from thier hands. The Iranians are playing a good game. Thier claim to want nuclear power for peaceful purposes is just barley credible. I suspect thier program is dual purpose in nature.

Bush appears to be looking for an excuse to attack Iran. He is close to becoming a truly lame-duck President, and he knows it. He and the neocons want to prove their ideology works. U.S. forces on land, sea, and air are being moved to even closer proximity to Iran. He may come to believe that only a dramatic event will shift the electorate back to the Republicans. And Bush has this troubling thread of fundamentalism, with 'God on his side.' This is a dangerous moment.

[exusmcsgt]

Make that "peaceful" purposes.....

[exusmcsgt]

But he only wants nuclar energy for peaceful purposes.

Just like Israel only needs it for useful purposes........

"Report: Iran 2-3 Years From Nuclear Weapon"

JUST THE RIGHT TIME 'WINDOW' TO JUSTIFY A BUSHWHACKING, RIGHT? LOL

People, this is just another beating of the war drums to escalate the devilish bush wars!

[macusweil]

Just pathetic-- Bush's neocon henchmen outted Valerie Plame Wilson who just happened to be an establish middle east operative!! Not that they give a rat's *ss about real intelligence, seems they prefer to make it up as they go along.

So in reality we have no clue-- this report says 2-3 years I've also heard 5-10 years. Who cares if they have nukes anyway. If the even try to pop one we flatten their country.

[exusmcsgt]

On January 29, 2002, (five years ago now) Bubba Dubya called Iran, Iraq, and N. Korea the "axis of evil" in his State of The Union Address.

Iran and N. Korea had long range delivery systems already on the ground. Iraq did not.

N.Korea and Iran were in the process of developing nuclear weaponry to place on those delivery systems. Iraq was not.

So who did this moron decide to go after claiming that it was an immediate threat to the U.S.? Iraq, of course.

What an unmitigated idiot......

He invaded the one country that couldn't attack us and the other two who can just get lip service.

What vision and leadership. A kindergardner could have done as well.

[rsoxfan1123]

superchez1-after thanking the bush adminstration for making us vulnerable by commiting this many troop to Iraq in search of profits for his oil baron friends, we will function as a part of the UN rather than as the lone ranger, as bush did.

[rsoxfan1123]

And we removed Hussein from power- the one person that kept Iran in check. Iran-Iraq counterbalanced one another nicely in this region. Bush has created a vacuum that the Iranians are more than happy to fill with their hatred for us. In essence, bush and his republican minions have destabilized the entire region.
