kactus Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 No, it's just reality and consistent with the political processes of many nations. He already is a candidate, like dozens of others who you have never even heard of, but may appear on ballots. I don't need to be reminded of political processes as I live in one of those nations. Sure there are other candidates that I may not know of nevertheless doesn't change my view of his remark especially when the potential post is to become the president of the most powerful country.

kactus Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 Even if there was "proof" it wouldn't change matters much. The report is what it is...same as in Iraq. Those that criticize/support the IAEA or UNSCOM do so only when it is convenient for their point of view. Convenient? Nah! It's just a fresh perspective of things. This whole thing is not even about Iran becoming nuclear... Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) I don't need to be reminded of political processes as I live in one of those nations. Then Santorum's remarks should have come as no great surprise. Sure there are other candidates that I may not know of nevertheless doesn't change my view of his remark especially when the potential post is to become the president of the most powerful country. Any natural born American of 35 years age or older can be US president. The process for selecting the candidate is not independent of the nation's rise to such "power".

But rather a quality of a candidate that IMO made a silly remark. That's all! In other nations people are able to express opinions about potential candidates that have a gaffe..

olp1fan Posted November 23, 2011 Report Posted November 23, 2011 There won't be any war until the Euro Zone crisis is calmed down ..there would just be too many things going on for it to survive should there be a war Quote

Your alarm at such a remark is quite inconsequential, and many candidates have made such gaffes in the past, including those in Canada. What's the big deal? Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
kactus Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 A very interesting fresh perspective from Seymour Hersh A propaganda used ahead of Iraq war now being reused over Iran's nuke program: Quote
DogOnPorch Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 A very interesting fresh perspective from Seymour Hersh A propaganda used ahead of Iraq war now being reused over Iran's nuke program: Iran is a peaceful country that loves everyone and everything. So there's absolutely no possibility that they want to own and use nuclear weapons. All a poor pro-Zionist translation of the Great Man's words. Does that sum up your viewpoint? Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
bush_cheney2004 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 A very interesting fresh perspective from Seymour Hersh A propaganda used ahead of Iraq war now being reused over Iran's nuke program: Indeed...it worked quite well for Iraq. Don't mess with a successful formula! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
olp1fan Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) The only country that desires war right now is Israel and maybe Canada Edited November 24, 2011 by olp1fan Quote
kactus Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 Iran is a peaceful country that loves everyone and everything. Every country has its own domestic problems as well as external issues. Anyone who denies that has biased views.... So there's absolutely no possibility that they want to own and use nuclear weapons. There's absolutely no possibility that they want to "remove Israel off the map". All a poor pro-Zionist translation of the Great Man's words. See above. Those are you words not mine. If you want to change that translation to suit your goal that's fine but dont expect me to take your word for what he hasn't said... Does that sum up your viewpoint? Not a all, framing me into something I never said or lumping me as someone with views contrary to yours is an old tactic.... Quote
kactus Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 Indeed...it worked quite well for Iraq. Don't mess with a successful formula! What may have worked for Iraq (and i say may) does not have universal application. Iran is not Iraq. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 What may have worked for Iraq (and i say may) does not have universal application. Iran is not Iraq. Oh it worked alright...just ask Saddam. Oh wait...ding dong...Saddam is dead. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

olp1fan Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 Is that why they held US citizens hostage for over a year and not Iraqis? and they ended up being spies last i heard if you catch someone spying in your country you can detain them Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 and they ended up being spies last i heard if you catch someone spying in your country you can detain them The US doesn't detain Canadian spies. Canada helped to bomb and strangle Iraq just like other nations over the past 20 years. Now it is Iran's turn. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
