They'd almost have a free fly zone through Iraq. Because the US still owns that sky. I don't think it is a stretch to conclude that.

OK...outline how Israel will 'do it'. Keep in mind the order of battle for all parties involved. I'm telling you that Israel doesn't have the muck-tuck to pull it off. Iran...like the USA...buries things under mountains. Forget so-called bunker busters...way too deep and dug-in for those. We're talking Cheyenne Mountain deep.

All that stalling and posturing by the Iranian authorities has bought them enough time to construct a bunker that would withstand a direct nuclear hit.

Based on what evidence?

Based on how they framed the citation. They implied that the US passed on intel so that the Iraqis could gas iranians. That is patently false.

The US did share imagery with the Iraqis...and that as far as it went.

Bullshit-there were Canadian arms dealers and Americans who armed both sides - and did it with approval of government and buisness.

Which is way beyond any redemption given the US had known for at least 7 months from it's own intelligence reports that Iraqi troops were using chemical weapons against the Iranians on a daily basis.

November 1983. George Schultz, the Secretary of State, is given intelligence reports showing that Iraqi troops are daily using chemical weapons against the Iranians. [1]

See where it's bolded. Feel free to insert or edit any old crap that comes to your mind if you like, it won't change the fact that you're actually defending the West's complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity.

I assume you love your children too but I fail to see why you would.

I take it then at this point you feel that every scrap of intelligence that the US produces is 100% accurate andf bonafide.

Will you go on record now and confirm this?

Now lets look at the quality of the citation.

George Schultz, the Secretary of State,
is given
intelligence reports

Check the source and see the difference....

Jonathan T. Howe,
told
Secretary of State George P. Shultz that intelligence reports showed that Iraqi troops were resorting to "almost daily use of CW" against the Iranians

I fail to see why this should be considered appropriate.

I'm not going on the record on the basis of anything you've attributed to me. :lol:

Okay, it stands to reason the wind might be blowing the wrong way some days. So what?

Your entire case now pretty much relies on the basis of the ridiculously picayune difference the word almost makes?

You're really struggling to reach your nadir aren't you?

You've never heard of the song were Sting hopes the Russians love their children too?

It's about the feelings two irreconcilably opposed sides are assumed to have when both are convinced the other side must be a monster.

So you feel that you can pick and choose when and where US intelligence is to be believed or not?

How lucky you are....shame schultz didn't have your plastic options

Hmmmm, yet another glaringly Freudian slip from the arch defender of geopolitical diddlers everywhere. Perhaps the most brilliant one yet considering the context of the region under discussion.

Yeah and a big what ever....care to explain why this intelligence is credible and some other is not. If you cannot, I will assume you concede that you have no idea when inteligence is to be believed other than when it embarrasses the US.

This is a very divisive topic that threatens to tear apart the civil society both your kids and mine are going to have to assume responsibility for. No doubt you do love your kids as much as I love mine but to me your views seem so antithetical to the things their lives depend on like justice and humanity - that I'm fearful for my kids.

I assume you feel the same way.

Occam's Razor, it makes sense considering the timelines and other information and reports presented with it.

If you cannot, I will assume you concede that you have no idea when inteligence is to be believed other than when it embarrasses the US.

You might as well assume what you will, you always do anyway.

Feel free to report me then. I explained why I said what I did and I stand by it.

Don't forget this thread is about nuclear weapons and the possibility of their being used is a real possibility and maybe even a hoped for occasion if your steady stream of nuclear blasts with a lol sign-off are any indication.

Oh the humanity.

Why gnash my teeth and sprinkle my head with ashes out of Marthas garbage burning stove at the cottage. Even the worst father is better than not knowing who pops is.

Yeah....that's true. It would suck not knowing, even if he was a prick like me! :lol:
