No sane person wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon or the ability to produce one. But most experts agree that inorder to effectively ruin Iran's nuclear capabilities we would have to strike multiple targets, some of which are deep under ground. Even if it was possible to destroy every...

"Nine U.S. military ships entered the Gulf on Wednesday for a rare daylight assembly off Iran’s coast in what naval officials said was the largest such move since the 2003 Iraq war. U.S. Navy officials said Iran had not been notified of plans to sail the vessels, which include two aircraft...

Thanks to Abdul for pointing this one out elsewhere. A naturalised US citizen who has lived in USA is being held in Phoenix, having been denied bail, because he committed the horrific crime of copying and taking Not Secret information to Iran. Justice. Yeah, right.

Anyone remember that quote? It was made by a man who has a hard time facing reality. The reality is . . . How about the numerous quotes about how, "the surge is working," anyone remember those? Anyone remember this quote from the 2004 Presidential debate? "I hear there's rumors on the...

Of course, the questioner is disturbing as well. What do you get when you mix a simplistic world view with a steady stream of propaganda and an undying belief in the capacity of violence as the solution to every issue? You get this guy asking McCain when "we're going to send Iran an airmail"...

So the Iranians blindfolded, shackled, isolated, and used psychological pressure on the 15 Brits. Now, how exactly is this so different from how the Americans or the Brits treat "enemy combatants"? What could we possibly say to Iran? "Only we can declare people enemy combatants and withhold...

Wasn't the rumor being slung as news amongst the woo crowd that there was supposed to be an attack or a nuclear attack on Iran either Friday or Saturday? i actually heard a woo claim that the attack already began in secret. I suggest we all go pray to the FSM :)

Iran just made you look stupid and weak. What are you going to do about it? Sanctions? Denouncement? Appeasement? Dare I say........war? :rolleyes:

The 15 hostages' debriefing. http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/04/06/iran.sailors/index.html

Since the Liberals of this boards are too busy bashing their own countrymen of the Conservatives party for having conservative ideas, meanwhile in the rest of the world Iran keeps humiliating the West in all impunity: http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/04/01/iran.sailors/index.html...

Its amazing. The Iranians take some British sailors hostage in Iraqi waters, and the 9-11 truthers call it a false flag. Do they think the Israelis captured them and put them in Iranian custody? If the sailors are in Iranian custody..then it is not a false flag. Simple as that. Oy.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6484279.stm I could understand NK pulling this kind of stunt but Iran?

Because a war with Iran is needed to bring the whole world into desperately searching for a COVENANT to bring the world back from a near WW3. Maybe we can discuss why the upcoming Iranian War is being set up and then discuss its ramifications even as it is going on. So to start, the powers...

According to Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2005/01/24/050124fa_fact

An extremely interesting, and--for a change--cautiously optimistic view of the Iranian situation, from an Iranian blogger taking questions from (mostly) Israelies and American Jews. Main points: 1). Ahmanedijad 2007 is not Hitler 1939 for three reasons: (a) he's extremely unpopular, unlike...

The U.S. carrier fleets near the middle east cannot last for more than 6-8 months. They've already been there for a while. Expect an attack on IRAN within the next 6 months. Possibly with Isreal starting it, but we may both go at the same time. Will there be a terror attack carried out to...

Despite the routine denials of the Israelis, there are several reports now being circulated which indicate the IAF is being readied for a mission to Iran. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/830309.html Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates, have told the United States that they would not...

I brought this up a while back based on comments by Scott Ritter. Here is another opinion. And please don't get hysterical because it's on Lew Rockwell. http://www.lewrockwell.com/roberts/roberts193.html

This post by Steve Clemons has me seriously worried. Just last night, Bush make a lot of aggressive grunts in Iran's direction, and now today US forces are raiding an Iranian consulate. As Clemons puts it, "Bush may have pushed the escalation pedal more than any of us realize." Is it too...

Words defy any attepmt to describe this. I mean I can tell you what it is. It's Iran begging to get nuked again by stating that Hitler was a jew who faked the holocaust to give Britian and the USSR the perfect setup to create Israel and unload the jewish population there and make it seem like...

Mr. Rodriguez replied to our "Willie Rodriguez, Hero and Traitor" thread concerning his Iran visit: I´m not sure if he reads this thread but i wish him good luck in everything he does in the future. :)

We should all honor Willie Rodriguez for his efforts on 9-11, which resulted in the saving of many lives. But the Willie Rodriguez of today deserves disapprobation. Get this announcement: Yes, that's right; Willie's going to be following in the footsteps of David Duke in bringing the "truth"...

Does anyone here have any information on who is attending this, other than Mel Gibson's father's buddy in this link? I wonder if any surviving Germans from WWII who at least have admitted they "were only following orders" would have the nerve to speak out against Ahmadinejad in public. I find...

First stop, the Reuters' article: The US has condemned the conference: The governments of Europe such as the United Kingdom and Germany have issued similar condemnations. Member governments of the EU are also pushing for a resolution. The conference will include such academic luminaries as...

I'm sure I'm not the only one that's noticed Iran is no longer bothering with the "for electrical generating purposes only" as regards their nuke program. They are openly admitting they are building a nuke. I think that the only people who think diplomacy will solve the problem are the feeble...

Because not every thread can be about Iraq, Israel, or Bush. I read an editorial in The Economist the other day advocating for a free market solution to kidney transplant waiting lists. Unfortunately, most of the Economist's online content is now locked off, so I'll try to summarize: About...

Russian rocket deliveries to Iran started Putin isn't stupid, so why in the hell would he allow air defence rocket systems to be shipped to a country that is lining all their ducks up in a row to start the apocalypse? Because that is what Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is doing. Getting ready to start...
