I don''t take what this guy says on faith either. Iran should cooperate fully with the IAEA and they won''t have to worry about denying the verifiable.

However, Israel and the U.S. shouldn''t be intimating plans to attack their uranium faciliites with "tactical" nuclear weapons unless we have hard evidence of a nuke program.
Right now the U.S. and Israel are the only powers in the region with nuclear weapons to threaten others with and if we launch a nuclear attack without a nuclear provocation we will be seen by the entire world as the clear outlaw aggressor.

We should work diplomatically with other nations to pressure them into IAEA compliance. That''s what we were initially successful at doing to Sadaam until Bush decided to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.

Regarding the Iranian hostage crisis, since you brought it up, it was the republicans who went to Paris and made a deal to give this regime arms if they held our hostages until inaguration day. Reagan & Bush commited treason in exchange for power.

I''d believe this guy as much as I''d believe Hitler or the Democrats, which simply is NOT AT ALL.

Iranian forces have been legitimately cited as being involved in terrorist actions in Iraq, and especially against our forces despite what Pelosi or Reid, our "great military leaders" have said. It is time to cut the snake''s head off, which by the way is something that should have been done in 1979 if we had a President back then instead of a sniveling cowardly anti-Semitic and Racist bigot and Hoody Doody (insult to Hoody Doody) lookalike Jimmy Carter.

Who, by the way, was and is a Democrat. Figures.
He allowed the betrayal of the Shah and the seizing of our people and did NOTHING. A future Democratic President would wait till Iran nuked Tel Aviv or New York to maybe do something about it.

With the current crop of Non-Serving, MoveOn paid Cowards running for President on the Democratic side, Maybe NOT.
