"ISRAEL’S armed forces have been ordered by Ariel Sharon, the prime minister, to be ready by the end of March for possible strikes on secret uranium enrichment sites in Iran, military sources have revealed. The order came after Israeli intelligence warned the government that Iran was operating enrichment facilities, believed to be small and concealed in civilian locations. Iran’s stand-off with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over nuclear inspections and aggressive rhetoric from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, who said last week that Israel should be moved to Europe, are causing mounting concern. The crisis is set to come to a head in early March, when Mohamed El-Baradei, the head of the IAEA, will present his next report on Iran. El-Baradei, who received the Nobel peace prize yesterday, warned that the world was “losing patience” with Iran. "

oh great

3 months to convince the US to go along with this

12/11/2005 10:31:22 PM

i want to see this go down

12/11/2005 10:50:23 PM

hmm this could be a bad thing

12/11/2005 10:52:13 PM

of course when israel suggests something like this, there is no outrage.

but when ANY COUNTRY suggests something against israel, they are ANTI-SEMITIC!!!

israel should be, and will be, destroyed one today.

(i don't mean all jewish people by this. i mean israel, i.e., zionism as an ideology, and all those who support it; the non-racist jews--a small percentage--will be saved)

12/11/2005 10:56:36 PM

well, the world had to end one day

So which of the following stupid things are you trying to say here?

1) Only a small percentage of Jews are non-racist, or
2) The only governments who would like to invade and conquer Israel will be successful (laughable enough), and they will also show great restraint in leaving certain people alive and not just going after everyone

12/11/2005 11:34:36 PM

We could just act like he never posted.

So is Russia going to back Iran on this?

12/12/2005 12:16:17 AM

good. iran has no fucking business developing nuclear weapons, and someone has to stop them.

12/12/2005 12:23:50 AM

right, we're the only country mature enough to handle the power that comes with mass destruction...

12/12/2005 12:26:48 AM

while that's obviously not true, iran is definitely a country i think we can agree shouldnt have nukes

12/12/2005 12:31:17 AM

ahaha

most of the eastern world is still anti-semitic

half of the western world is too


stop frontin like it's not your anti-semitism that makes you at LEAST partially hate israel. if you got hate in your heart, let it out, but for god sakes stop making it seem like the only hate mongerers are them.

and i'll put money down that israel wont be destroyed in our lifetime.

12/12/2005 12:43:18 AM

maybe we will sell them some brand new f-16s and the external fuel tanks for a deep stike against a country that is a nuclear threat... oh wait, that already happened. Maybe we will give them f-117s this time

So clever, and yet...

1) It's in our best interests not to let people who hate us have nukes, and since when is acting in our best interest the most abominable thing we can do?
2) It's in the best interest of every freedom-loving person on the planet not to let dictatorships/theocracies/military juntas/etc. from having nukes.
3) It's in the best interest of every person who enjoys being alive and not glowing in the dark not to let angry, rogue, terrorist-supporting states have nukes.

12/12/2005 1:44:47 AM

I blame Bush for this, and I'll tell you why.

If not for Bush sparking outrage in the muslim world, that crazy bastard Ahmadinejad would have never been elected and Iran would be working with the IAEA right now.

12/12/2005 1:49:54 AM

Yes, I'm sure that without Bush's actions Iran would be a paragon of international cooperation and whatnot. It was really right about to turn a new leaf before.

Other countries probably look at us the same way and think "if American has nukes, we want them to, because they hate us, and we need to defend ourselves if it comes to it". What you seem to be supporting is the idea that childish bickering on the national scale is okay. It may be reality that it is what happens, but it seems ridiculous to me to actively support it.

12/12/2005 2:25:23 AM

They were very close to coming to an agreement with the IAEA. It came as a shock when Iran suspended all negotiations with European leaders, and it was because of Ahmadinejad and his hard-line approach to foreign policy.

12/12/2005 2:26:44 AM

if this happens, it will mean hell for bush

wouldn't have made any difference. whoever gets "elected" there does what the ayatollah tells him.

12/12/2005 8:15:39 AM

FYI, Iran is developing a nuclear POWER PLANT. But, forget about that. The facts don't matter anymore.

IRAN HAS WMDS! JUST LIKE IRAQ DID! QUICK, WE BETTER INVADE IRAN ASAP!!

WHY? BECAUSE THE ZIONISTS AND NEOCON JOOZ SAY SO!

12/12/2005 8:42:18 AM

would you be willing to be your life that it is ONLY a power plant?

12/12/2005 8:50:25 AM

So, maybe this will give us a reason to get out of Iraq. I don't think we need to be caught in the crossfire of Israel and Iran, especially if Syria then gets involved. But, I'm sure we'll find a way to get involved.

Were you betting the Zionists and the guvmint were telling the truth about Iraq, and that Saddam really had WMDs?

Why do you believe these Zionist blowhards? They already intentionally lied to trick us into one war.

12/12/2005 9:08:57 AM

Russia might have backed Iran a couple decades ago, but they don't have the gumption or the resources for it anymore. Only if China joins the Russian standoff will the US/Israel have a serious political problem.

12/12/2005 9:35:19 AM

if i were china, and israel and the US attacked iran, i'd sure as hell mobilize against taiwan. it's practically inevitable anyways. maybe Nkorea could get in on the bloodshed.

12/12/2005 10:47:21 AM

I think the Iranians have already started...

"Gingrich sees Iran threat to U.S. like Nazi Germany WorldNetDaily November 20, 2005 By Joseph Farah WASHINGTON – The threat posed to the national security of the United States by Iran was likened only to the one posed by Nazi Germany in the 1930s, by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who suggested Tehran could be planning for a pre-emptive nuclear electromagnetic pulse attack on America that would turn a third or more of the country "back to a 19th century level of development.""

Yes, and if I was from an America-hating dictatorship that I supported, I'd be saying that my country should develop nukes for exactly that reason.

No, idiot. They're not America-hating because they want to defend themselves, they're America-hating because they're an Islamic fundamentalist government that, since its inception, has been opposing the United States at every turn, and which, put bluntly, hates us.

12/12/2005 12:23:04 PM

i heard on CNN yesterday that Iran was allowing US companies to bid on the construction of their nuclear power plant. i would think that this supports the idea that Iran really is just trying to make nuclear power...not nuclear weapons. but maybe i'm just naive.

12/12/2005 12:30:39 PM

well, I guess this is it, folks.

12/12/2005 12:35:02 PM

^^allowing to bid =/= allowing to build

Besides, nobody's really denying, I think, that they're building a power plant. The worry is that the reason for building that plant, as well as the other things they are building, are worrisome.

[Edited on December 12, 2005 at 12:39 PM. Reason : ]

12/12/2005 12:38:34 PM

perhaps they realize nuclear power is a much better source of energy?
