Maybe Blair and the Iranians will meet in Munich.
Reasons, like starting World War III?
If Blair won't go, do it without him. I believe that's known as the "Bush doctrine".
Frankly, the nukes could hit Europe. Let them deal with it.
They are already far along dhimmi status anyway.
Israel is our only true friend when it comes to Iran. And a good enough friend for taking out their nuke facilities when the time comes.
And it's a good doctrine - exactly what Bush said when he spoke of coalitions changing according to the need. We're not going to get locked into static coalitions the enemy can run circles around.
While this would be somewhat "I told you so" satisfying, permitting nukes to land in Europe cedes the entire continent to the Islamofacists.
Bush doctrine, yeah right,
Invade Iraq then stand around with his finger up his butt while Mexico invades us.
so Israel and the UK are not on board?
Then the Islamofacists and world socialist politicians will join together in attacking the USA.
Happy Easter.
Britain is doing just fine in Iraq and Afghan. They just don't have the resources to go much farther. OTOH, we still have guys in Germany that are only hunting Bambi. And in a few other places. Australia has a crack military team. Russia is getting mad at Iran- they got slapped in the face. The OSI has been working with Spetnatz teams in a few 'stans for years. China doesn't like this scene in Iran either, they have their own unruly Muslims to deal with in their western provinces. If the US, Russia and China join and tell Iran there is no step further for them, war will be prevented.
I hear the ghost of Chamberlain stirring and the ghost of Churchill spinning in his grave.
Good enough. But we'll use B-2s this time instead of F-111s.
The 'cold feet' on Blair's part is obviously explained by battering he (like the President) has taken politically by the appeasement lobby in both countries on the Iraq issue. Blair's cold feet does NOT speak well for the world standing up to nut-case, militant Islamofacsism in the future! This does NOT bode well.
I can only ask you all for patience. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO PREPARE A WAR AGAINST IRAN YET!
This is STILL the time to negotiate, debate and prepare a mood of support for an armed conflict against Hitler´s grandson. I completely trust our leaders, namely Blair, Bush, Merkel and Chirac that they are not going to sell out our security. They will act when it´s necessary.
But first, let´s go out and tell our friends and neighbours, our parents and children, that Iran is led by a mad man who would do anything to wipe Israel from earth. A man, who would rather die and "end up in paradise with x virgins" than allow Christians or Jews their ways of life. Let´s prepare a feeling of readiness, so that our leaders will not be stopped by a public pacifist opinion when actions should be undertaken.
So please stop talking about a coming war now. Iran will be stopped, I´m sure. Just let´s go step by step!
I would appreciate a German contribution if it comes to an armed conflict NATO vs. Iran. I just hope that this time, NATO will act as one on Iran - unlike Iraq, the necessity of stopping Iran with all our might should not be put in doubts by the media and Left.
(Britain probably is, too... maybe 88%)
I don't. I can't, and neither can you. Nobody is perfect, and nobody can know exactly when is the "right time". (Just before Iran develops the ability to mass produce nukes? Just before Iran can sell secrets to al Qeada? Just before the missile hit Tel Aviv?) Let's just pray that the "when it's necessary" label doesn't cost another several thousand lives (if not millions).
