I seem to remember that many, many Brits "TRUSTED" Neville Chamberlain too. I remember the crowds wildly cheering as Mr. Chamberlain waved that piece of white paper when he got back to Britain.
Well Blair gave us a decent ride ,now he is wooosing out..as most knew eurabia would..f em lets roll
This is not unexpected.
To be quite frank we dont need the RAF if we strike Iran's facilities. The USAF and USN pilots is all thats needed. Treating them like Libya is not a bad idea and I think we may do the diplomatic dance awhile longer,but we can not allow them to fire nuclear missiles at US forces in the region or Israel. Europe is scared they are in range NOW of a possible Iranian nuclear strike. Appeasment wont work with these suicidal jihadist. They want a fight and probably wont care if we nuke them because of this 12th mahdi islamic garbage the theorcracy in power believes. Israel is their goal at all costs. God help us all because I know the US unlike Europe will not let them annihilate Israel.
We don't need Blair's help. He should get down on his knees and thank God that the US will do what's necessary.
Iran would use any and all time remaining to negotiate in bad faith. That's been their pattern, and they've employed it with considerable success. Why change now? We can't afford to allow them to strike first. They're developing MIRV's with rockets capable of reaching the EU and US interests, carriers in the area, etc.. Even if they don't attack the EU next week or next month, they will blackmail the West into submission. All it takes is one example, one hapless country nuked out of existence, and Israel is handy. How fast do you think France, among others, will run up the white flag?
Russia and China do not care of there is war or not as long as the U.S. is the one doing the fighting.
Russia and China will sell Iran whatever Iran wants to buy, force the U.S. to deal with the messs and then laugh all the way to the bank.
Yes, they're right there hiding behind our coattails.
Well, Chamberlain didn´t know where the bottom line was. We do. And from the remarks the West made recently I think they know when they should act. I don´t believe that there´ll be an invasion. I tend to believe that bunker busters will be used, and we shouldn´t worry that these are nuclear weapons.
Don´t you see the picture? Military strikes aren´t urgent yet, or the remarks from Rice or Bush would be like that. It´s not that we must bomb Iran now or within the next six months. But when the time has come, it will and must be done. Nobody (!) wants Iran to go nuclear, it´s just that we need many more to convince them that the military will do the job - rather than diplomats.
France has been talking pretty tough about Iran (including Chirac's comment about using nukes). Goad France into joining us. The Brits won't be outdone by the French. That's why tourists can even get a "power-shower" here and there around London these days.
