M.Dancer Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Iran has kept the facility, 160 kilometres southwest of Tehran, hidden from weapons inspectors, but the U.S. has long known of its existence, a senior White House official told The Associated Press. Mr. Obama decided to go public with the revelation after Iran learned that Western intelligence agencies were aware of the project, the official said before the joint statement. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/...article1301183/ What to do what to do? Would a nuclear armed Iran give a hoot if the world woke up in the morning to find the Gulf is closed to shipping? What use are bunker busters that gather dust?

GostHacked Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 How about we have Israel declare what her nuclear capabilities are before we pick on the Iranians?? Who really is in violation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogOnPorch Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 How about we have Israel declare what her nuclear capabilities are before we pick on the Iranians??Who really is in violation? This we do know about Israel's apparent nuclear weapon force...it's an independent design that has never been tested for yield or just plain functionality. Even the Israelis would view them with a big question-mark over their heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran. Israel is not a signatory to the treaty. You cannot be in violation of a treaty you don't belong to. And israel is not the topic. The topic is Iran, a nation that has repeatedly lied. denied and deceived the Agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legal by so called international laws And you can't avoid talking about Irans nukes without bringing up Israel. Because for all intents and purposes Iran is building nukes to take out Israel, according to them. So if they want Iran to come clean, then they should do so as well. Let's not be hypocrites and try to be fair about this. Edited September 25, 2009 by GostHacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by 'freaking-out' you mean getting him to stop what he's doing and hopefully supporting a popular uprising against the current Iranian government that shoots its own citizens in the streets...then yes...I'm 'freaking-out'.

M.Dancer Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Iran is also not signatory to any nuke treaty. They were, but you can opt out of it. Legal by so called international laws Since when did they opt out And you can't avoid talking about Irans nukes without bringing up Israel. Because for all intents and purposes Iran is building nukes to take out Israel, according to them. So if they want Iran to come clean, then they should do so as well.Let's not be hypocrites and try to be fair about this. Given that Iran denies making nukes, the statement that according to Iran, Iran is making nukes to take out Israels nukes is either false or a just cause for israel and the west to take Iran out. Which would you like to go with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) ...but it's OK if he develops nuclear weapons to put ontop of his ICBMs. I wouldn't say its great but what's the point of freaking out about a few more compared to the thousands that already exist? If by 'freaking-out' you mean getting him to stop what he's doing and hopefully supporting a popular uprising against the current Iranian government that shoots its own citizens in the streets...then yes...I'm 'freaking-out'. Great. Changing regimes the last time we freaked out over Iran really made the world a better place didn't it? But, you'd let The Holocaust occur in the name of keeping out of other nation's business...so wtf do you care? Ummmm, the Holocaust already occured so wtf are you talking about? Thugs could be beating an old man by the roadside and it wouldn't be your business to stop them...no. You really need to get a better grip on your assumptions.

Unaware of the effects of nuclear weapons, I see. They are more than just a big bomb. Great. Changing regimes the last time we freaked out over Iran really made the world a better place didn't it? Well you'd prefer one where we're all speaking German...just so we didn't upset a dictator. Ummmm, the Holocaust already occured so wtf are you talking about?

We're talking about Iran in 2009 not Europe in the 1940's. Get a grip. You'd ignore any Holocaust according to your stated philosophy of live and let live...or die.

eyeball Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Canada should sanction every country on Earth that has nuclear weapons. Of course it stands to reason that the world should sanction Canada if we continue to supply uranium to countries that do because we're every bit as guilty.

That's quite the position to take given when you are on your other prescription you advocate canada arm itself with nuclear weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we could do that too but I'd prefer we move to my new position. I half expect Iran will test a bomb before December and by the time February rolls around they'll be receiving their exclusive membership card not to mention some new found respect and various concessions from the old boy's club of other nuclear armed nations. This path is both time honoured and well travelled, just like all the freaking out that follows anyone taking it. On the other hand I expect someone will completelylose it and attack Iran and we could be mired up to our necks in the Mother of all Quags....again.
