It is pretty well accepted that Israel DOES have nukes, but has never been confirmed or verified.
As far as a deterrent, Ahmanutjob feels he is the one to bring forth the 12th Imam, or Mahdi. Mooselimb prophecy says the Mahdi will emerge when the world is in great chaos or war. Ahmawhackjob is dangerous because he isn't concerned about Israels retaliation, in FACT he welcomes it. His view is that him and his entire nation will be martyred for the cause of ushering in the Mahdi.
I agree.
That’s right.
As such, he is incapable of even basic honesty where his coreligionists or Israel are concerned.
Reliance upon his perpetually biased judgment will lead to massive innocent bloodshed. And of course, the u.n. has a well documented bigotry towards Israel and would gladly help to bring about its destruction.
Pakistan does have nukes. Until recent years, the only viewed threat of Paki nukes was to India, as those 2 have been constantly at each others throats, and still are. Now the threat is of Islamic radicals gaining control of the government, and the nukes, and becoming a threat much like Ahmanutjob in Iran.
You do understand, that because of oil, that as far as the ME goes, so goes the rest of the world?
If Iran gets nukes THE ENTIRE Mid East is in play NOT JUST Israel and Iran. If Iran attacks SO WILL Syria and Lebannon. Also Jordan would be emboldened in the name of the Palistinian "brothers". More than likely Egypt also, because of the bloody nose given them in '67 and '73. Its also considered that Saudi Arabia would get into it, as they're supporters of the Wahabis, the extremest of the extremists.
It is thought that should Iran attack, Israel would counter each of the mentioned countries.
Look at a map of the ME. Immediately west of Israel is the Red Sea. South SouthWest is Egypt. South and East is Jordan. East of Jordan is Saudi Arabia. North and NorthEast are Syria and Lebanon.
Iran has vowed, should they be attacked they will mine the Straits of Hormuz, shutting down the export of ME oil to the rest of the world.
Its easy to have an isolationist view when you live in the most independent nation EVER. Those days have come to an end.
I thought that I had read that this muslim A-Hole, El Baradei, had been replaced at the IAEA.
What am I missing here??
This guy personifies the irrelevancy of the UN; in all but having kids ring your doorbell on Halloween for UNICEF! The rest of their worldly mandate in basically Bullsh1t!
As long as they are our ally, that's a god thing
Yes & No, he is retiring at the end of November after 12 'successful' [choke] years as the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). He will be succeeded by a Japanese diplomat, Yukiya Amano.
FYI: The retirement package from the UN would make a 'Wall Street Baron' blush and it is all tax free! An explanation of why bureaucrats do so well in International organizations.
If this is intentional you need to capitalize it (tongue firmly in cheek)!
The source for this story is the Iranian regime.
I wouldn’t be so quick to believe it.
We invented them, we own the patent and thus, we have sole authority to say who we want to license the rights to.
In all seriousness, its called doing what is in our interest. It is not in our interest for a nation that his hostile to be armed with them, thus, we will oppose it. Any thing else is just elementary school debate that isn't grounded in the real world.
However, glancing at this and some of your other posts, I think our friends old sarge and darkwing104 may want to have some folks chat with you.
no. Those days are just starting.
yeah? well bring who ever they are ON and bring an intellect sadly lacking in your platitudes.
