M.A.D. only works when the enemy isn't actually mad.
Iran will see to it that someone uses their weapons,
just as soon as they come off the assembly line.
We need to down the power lines to those lines now,
and keep them down.
Tehran doubtless knows that Tel Aviv has a Masada
Contingency, which is the vaporizing of all key
islamic coordinates if Israel is ever nuked. The
beardbrains in Tehran know it, and don't care.
Really? Not a single other country in the world has the capability of launching airstrikes that might at least slow down Iranian nuclear ambitions?
And when they do use Nukes the world will cry and mourn the fact that there was a time when the Iranians could have been defeated, but no one wanted to stop them until they used there weapons.
This journalist is way ahead of the curve. He's given up before hostilities even started.
Quite a few countries have the capabilities....however, very few have the will to take on the mad mullahs.
Excellent points all.....I agree entirely.
My goodness, everyone wants to quote Murtha in their stories now.
Hahahaha! That is funny.
There is no way on this earth that Israel is going to let it happen....PERIOD
"Iran would be a far tougher country to try to attack than Iraq. It is three times as big and has highly motivated armed forces," a Foreign Office diplomat said yesterday.
"Highly motivated armed forces" -- yes, we heard that with Iraq too. There are many sides to Iran. They are used to rule by the nutcase, zealot or loony-emperor of the day. That does not make for high-security in any installation.
And Iran does not have to be attacked so much as imploded.
LMAO It's a toss-up who wrote this, Murtha or Ma Fifteen Minutes of Fame from Texas.
Cuz he's French Canadian...
"Iran would be a far tougher country to try to attack than Iraq. It is three times as big and has highly motivated armed forces," a Foreign Office diplomat said yesterday.
The West, particularly the US, can take Iran down anytime it wants to. "Diplomats" have never understood solutions, let alone military solutions. At best they just perpetuate the unacceptable until it becomes a matter only the military can resolve.
I will go and do it myself, how hard could it be.
Seriously.
We resigned ourselves to a nuclear Russia, China, France, etc....why not a Muslim nation?
...Frenchmen in the family woodpile maybe???
Good post. A sober assessment in my opinion. No one in the world would have the balls to attack Iran except GWB, and the Congress would crucify him if he did it on his own.
No way is Congress going to go along with a preemptive strike for a hundred reasons (cowardice chief among them).
Good to see you!

They insist on splitting this nation, and have succeeded in doing so, leaving the half that sees the situation clearly with not enough political capital left to do much other than let their "Imagine"/Star Trek/Gandhi utopian pacifist vision fail as completely as Chamberlain failed 70 years ago.
This is the legacy of the 60's generation...the generation that now has the power to influence the actions of this nation.
We're not at the end of the world. But you can see it from here.
