Gee, that's a bold statement, considering that Israel is drawing up plans to bomb their nuclear facilities...

What the hell?!?!

Iran committed an Act of War in 1979. Time to answer for that, dontcha think?

A-Nut confuses "can not" with "will not". Apparently, he overlooks history, specifically US-Japan relations in 1941. But since this bit of minor history did not concern Islam perhaps A-Nut simply does not acknowledge it at all. That's OK, Tojo made the same sort of mistake and paid the price. Perhaps some politicians with some guts will do the same with A-Nut.

Go get them Israel.

The operative metaphor is in bold above. Why should the Iranians feel/fear that any nation will stand in the way of their obtaining nuclear weapons? They have been granted carte blanche by the US and other Western nations since the revolution in the late 1970s. First the embassy siege; their subsequent financial and military support for Hizbullah; accomplice and facilitator of the murder of 241 marines in Lebanon and nearly 100 Jewish civilians in Argentina; a secret nuclear arms program in place for 20 years in violation of IAEA obligations.

In return, they are provided missiles to use in their war against Saddam Hussein, granted powerbroker status in Iraq; promised billions of dollars in economic incentives (the US just agreed to sell them spare airplane parts), and showered with speaking engagements and honorary awards by prestigious Western universities.

No malicious deed has gone unrewarded. Why wouldn't they believe that they can get away with genocide?

Can't or won't?

Six of one; half-dozen of another. Either way, the calculation ends up zero.

Maybe we are facing sometime of nuclear nightmare; maybe we are not.

Either way, I'd rather go out fighting; but then, I'm not in charge of the show so....

"By God's grace our powerful nation will continue its path and the enemy cannot do a damn thing on the nuclear issue," he said.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would do well to read
Ezekiel 38 and 39, to find out what God has in store
for his "powerful nation".

Re: "Iran: Enemies can't "do a damn thing" to stop nuke program"

This confrontation has an eerie similarity to the Gaza situation in which there subtle and finally (for about 6 weeks) very direct warnings from Israel that Israel was going to respond to the attacks from Gaza and that the response would be "very painful" to Hezbollah and the entire region. Did Hezbollah listen? No. In fact, they kidnapped an Israeli soldier since they didn't believe Tel Aviv meant business.

The response was ruthless and very painful. Did Hezbollah take responsibilty? No. Instead they blamed Israel.

This situation will follow a similar pattern. Thee will be numerous subtle warnings and then finally very direct warnings. Will the thug listen? I doubt it. He's off in belief land and will be stunned when all the nuclear complexes are wiped out.

It's inevitable that reactors will be destroyed. There is no choice in the matter. Not really.

well several factors have our muslim terrorist brave to say what they say. they see a lameduck president in the white, the dems in control of senate and house, and with "some" people who advocate cut and run policy, muslim terrorist now feel even more bold. the US getting to be like the French, paper tigers. maybe John Bolton can hold onto his post with the UN, but slim chance with Nancy pelosi at the helm in the house, ried in senate with dick turbin. all of them freaks.

A strike against Iran's nuclear weapon developement sites must include strikes against the leadership of Iran. In fact, a strike against Iran's leadership should be first, followed by attacks on weapon sites. Israel should kill the head and take advantage of the bedlam that follows. Attacking sites is an act of war anyway, what further complication can there be?
Do it right the first time and do it big. No nuclear weapons from Israel should be necessary as they are too indiscriminate anyway. Bloodshed can be minimized by combination blows that are so big that response or counter strikes by Iran are delayed indefinitely.

HELLO! WAKE-UP AMERICA! ALERT-UP-USA!!!

He is partially right...What he meant to say is:

"Since I can't see, hear or feel anyone who seems to give a damn, I can safely say our enemies cannot and will not do a damn thing to stop us from developing our nuclear program to the point that we can indeed create our own nuclear bombs and use them willy-nilly as we please to satisfy our convert or die edict from our Prophet to further the expansion of Islam in the world."

It will become worse before it gets better. They will be defeated, but the cost will be greater than any of us imagine. That is what it will take for people to give a damn. This lackadaisical and impotent sleepiness in reply to this monkey will be the main ingredients for his success in becoming the nuclear power he wants to be.

What ever happened to pre-emptive strikes? Maybe Israel will lead the pack, just as they did with security on EL-AL.

Attacking Iran

This is worth repeating time and again that Iraq oil rich and once, a stable country was invaded by US lead forces and toppled the regime. Ever since US forces are trying very hard to consolidate their positions in Iraq turn it into a stronghold. But there seems to be a little progress achieved so far.

To justify the invasion of a sovereign country Iraq; US have been coming up with very different surmises. Starting from the Tyranny and dictatorship of Saddam Hussein imposed on Iraqis, to WMD issue and then switching to terrorism. An effort was also made to link Iraq with Alqaeda. The latest surmise being tried out is 'freedom in Iraq through democracy'; but has again switched over to Alqaeda.

If Iraq sole export was only, cucumber and tomatoes, and oil was located some where in central Africa, This would have been amazing to watch, US mission, 'able laureates’ landing in Iraq and occupying it, just to teach democracy. Also further making it, an absolute sure by deploying battle ships and forces in the vicinity to bar all the neighbouring countries; not to disturb, so that ‘lesson practices of democracy’ to Iraqi… go well.

We would be, but only fool..ish… to believe all this.

Arabian countries are sitting on the pits containing world’s crucial fuel energy resources. The world’s lone super power feels it, right full; to secure these crucial resources and make safe; for her best use and to avail an effective Hegemony in this part of the world.

For last some decades, under the clever, coercive western policies in Middle East, the natives and local dictator rulers of these Countries were already being emasculated; and now are successfully castrated. Most of these Middle Eastern countries are fixed up into some kind of servitude of US government. Iran is found to be the only one odd out and a last obstacle stuck in the way.

Iran is surrounded by Iraq and Afghanistan. Both these countries are blazing in US war and are being turned into some invincible, western strong holds. The persistent defiance of Iran is proving to be a night mare. Iran is offering lots of resistance and well sought US Imperialistic dreams, seems to be withering out.
The previous track record of US invasion of Iraq shows that US lead forces did not advance into Iraq till chief UN weapon inspector, Dr Hans Blix categorically made it clear that there were no WMDs and that there was a little resistance of scud medium range missile in Iraq.
History shows that our Western forces are the warrior and conqueror of non-resistant, depleted, and forsaken lands; --but they easily get bodged down; like mighty Israeli army in the face of determination and resilience shown by a very weak and negligible resistance; like Hezbollah in south Lebanon war… or now Taliban are showing their vehement resistance against occupation by US/NATO forces in Afghanistan.

But Iran is a big country. It has greater physical depth. Military value targets are very well spread. Any invading ground forces may find multiple layers of defences to tackle and many more other fortifications to converge on to...
Israel Army retreat in the face of Hezbollah resilience in south Lebanon has brought lots of embarrassment for Israel and US. Their reputation as mighty, invincible forces is in tattered. In order to regain the lost deterrence, this seems eminent that out of desperation, US may attack Iran, with all her might, under any pretext in reach and very vehemently.

Hezbollah guerrilla tactic demonstrated in Lebanon was an encouragement for Iran to put up greater resilience and US lead forces are likely to have tough time in the killing fields set up by Iran.

High altitude air strikes and long range cruise missile attack may be the preferred Option, to destabilize Iran and root out some of its nuclear capabilities.

But questions arise? All this is to what avail?

* Do we still believe living in bygone days of colonial era life?
*Do we really believe that research in technology and acquiring of knowledge can be denied and restricted in this ‘21st century, to any one or --especially to the awakened Muslim countries; sitting on the mountains of wealth and with the world critical economic resources at hand?

It is true that; Science and technology may bring the modernity in the quality of our living; and may change the environment around us; but it does not change the ‘mind set’ of the people.

Posted by: A Khokar at November 12, 2006 11:09 AM

Of course Khokar is an Islamist.

Problem is that Israel making a bold move like pre-emptively attacking Iran across Jordan, Saudi, Iraq and back??? Likely won't happen. If they did several things may indeed happen:

If conventional, they will need vast amounts of fighter bombers to get the job done, but may not effectively take out anything of value.

If Nuclear- which won't happen until after Conventional proves ineffective, the world is set ablaze. Pakistan will be the first to declare war on the West and have Nukes of their own with long enough range missiles to make it to Israel. Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi - indeed the whole of the Arab League will declare war on Israel. The problem is then will it remain conventional for fear of escalation to Nuclear on Arab soils? They may make that determination, and Israel will have no choice but to retaliate out of sheer survival. The US will necessarily be dragged in, Turkey will abandon it's position as a NATO member, and follow along with the other Muslims. Russia, India and China will sit back and watch it all unfold and when it is over they hope to pick up some pieces of the pie for themselves, as they have no interest in saving any lives as has been witnessed over the centuries. They of course want this and will be nothing more than negotiators to "stop" the escalations, but will scuttle any deal in the end. The Russians especially are hoping to eliminate as many Muslims as possible as that would make their job easier on procuring oil for themselves.

This will all turn the 20 million Muslims living in Eurabia into raving lunatics and we can see what it has done for France this past year. There will be no alternative but Civil War everywhere against Islam. EurAbia will likely capitulate to the Islamists after a short time, all the while blaming Israel and the USA for getting the world into this mess. The takeover will be complete.

China will then be worried about it's borders, and take means to project it's oewrs outwards to gain some buffer space, then Russia will do similar things in the old Eastern Europe. At this point 70% of the world is under Communist/Fascist dictatorships with AUS/NZ/NA the lone hold-outs with India- a sort of Democracy. The Indians are going to be quite nervous and battling Pakistan, potentially Bangladesh, and streaming across southern Afghanistan regions will make it brutally difficult to contain its borders and protect it's people.

This is such as sad situation, and Khobar's impression that despite advancment in technology, the mindset is stuck in the 7th century is absolutely true- I'm glad he reminded us of how his people are.

A million and a half Muslims in NA will definitely be a problem and there will be issues of national security there as well, likely with the Muslims being forced to take sides or leave for a country of their choice, or be permanently detained in what would be WWII style internment camps. This might be for their own saftety as well as the public at large.

That's just my take on things.

Interesting article that may hold some relevance to today's situation.

Posted by: HardBody at November 12, 2006 3:55 PM

After reading that article, what would be the point in the Arabs signing anything that would create peace in the region with Israel. My guess is that they have strategically figured out that the only way for the US/Israel to win is to agree to terms.
Otherwise they get stronger every day, and at some point the boil will explode and that is definitely in their favor.
They have population numbers on their side, they have the mdeia and bleeding hearts, communists, Socialists, all third world dictator and Despot. It is not in their favor at all to agree to peace.
Their going to "Bait and Wait" until there is no option left but the annihilation of Israel and the nukes come out.
