Well there we have it. Obama has been warned. If any attack occurs, it is totally his fault.
at least when new york or washington DC is a smoking pile they'll be glad we have "THE ONE " in charge instead of the evil Bush
Here we go again. Another commission pointing to the same old suspects, Iran, North Korea, and why not throw in Syria as well. I'm still waiting for someone to show me specifically what article of the Nuclear Non-proliferation treaty is Iran violating. As a treaty signatory, doesn't Iran have an absolute right to develop nuclear power for peaceful purposes? Where is the solid proof that Iran is developing a nuclear weapon?
Western intelligence and other entities have studied Iranian intentions from afar for over a quarter of a century, and with what results? Well with these conclusions: The years and periods of 1984, 2000, 2003, 2005-2007, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2015, 2016 are all years when Iran was supposed to have had or will have the bomb. Throwing darts could have equaled these conclusions. So what's missing from all these well prepared estimates? That's easy:Intent and power, what are Iranian intentions, and who has the power to order it done. The first missing factor involves what's in someone's mind, and the second is: in whose mind. Listening to a bunch of expats with ulterior motives who have not lived in Iran for years does not get you to intent or power, nor do eyes in the sky.
Are we going to accept that Iran is developing nuclear weapons as a fact like some of us foolishly accepted Iraq's WMD claim? Oddly enough the Commission concludes the attack will most likely be with biological weapons, yet they present not one iota of evidence that Korea, or Iran is involved in bio weapons. Besides that, where was all this wisdom when they were members of Congress. Btw fredmerzt when will you admit that President Bush will go down in history as one of the most intellectually lazy, incurious, inarticulate, inept, divisive and incompetent President ever. That's a tragedy that no one should be happy to see.
Once we drop the stupid don't talk to, or have relations with enemies just maybe we will get closer to an answer than guessing. There's no logic to the don't talk policy. If you are not talking with your mouth, your only alternative is talking with weapons. Oops I gave away the secret, that's what the neocrazies want more war.
