Get them before they get us, it's that type of paranoia and absence of logic that got us into Iraq.So you want to sit around and do nothing while the Iranian Army makes plans to attack America?

Blather? I was ready to give Risky a round of applause.
While Congress is saying, paraphrased, "Now that we know our sanctions are having an effect, it's time to pile them on," I wonder.
Higher fuel prices...military action in Iran...both of these things could impact Obama's chances for re-election. Maybe I'm just too suspicious, but something about this whole scenerio doesn't make sense.
It is believed that the effects of the sanctions ultimately will result in a change of regime or having Israel forgo any military action against Iran.
Thank you. I think Connery wished to give me the clap.
It's all good.

Wouldn't that be nice huh? that the sanctions force the Iranian Regime to open up ALL their nuclear facilities to the world and give up their nuclear dreams..... wouldn't that be just dandy!
I for one, am not holding my breath! :shrug:
Like I said, respond to my position or not as you may wish. Again, the US issued Economic sanctions Iran responded with declaring they have "the capabilities to carry out military strikes on US interests around the globe"
That makes their actions our business.
Why should they have to give up their nuclear dreams??
oops!
you are totally right there.... I meant nuclear nightmare!
I was going for a serious discussion. You were going for the laugh. Didn't work for either of us.

Indeed, fair lady. I am cautious and concerned that what we might be seeing is a whole lot of plausible deniability being establish prior to the fact. Long, long ago I stopped taking what my government, any government, said at face value.
My stubborn Irish friend, what you are looking for is an excuse not definable position. Iran has no nuclear capability at present and has no real delivery system. Yes, perhaps if Iran does develop a nuke and uses a ship to launch the nuke from international waters it could strike one US city. What would be the point? Their country would not exist shortly after that. They know that. What would they gain?
No matter, they have no nuclear option. So then you fear that if we don't attack them now they will attack us around the globe? If if we do attack them now they won't? How does that work?
No, I'm sorry my friend what you are looking for is an excuse to attack Iran. Iran does not need an excuse to attack us as we have been screwing them constantly for a very long time. Nothing we do now can change the past. But perhaps by changing the present we can change the future.
Holy Cripes... I do not beleive this!!!! I did not say this.....the Iranian ambassador to Moscow, Seyed Mahmoud-Reza Sajjadi said, "Iran has the capabilities to carry out military strikes on US interests around the globe."
Again my post was a very simple answer to MagieD's question....
I would be quite concerned if we had a Republican president. With Obama in the WH ... not so much.
....... or Insanitorium .....

It's OK, take a couple of deep breaths. If you smoke, a cigarette and an adult beverage might be good right about now.
In fact, I'm having a gin (Hendrick) and tonic while smoking BBQ dry rubbed chicken and sopping with Alabama Great White Sauce. I'd invite you over, but you being Irish and all, I probably don't have enough booze.
But to the point, I did not say that you said that, "...the Iranian ambassador to Moscow, Seyed Mahmoud-Reza Sajjadi said, 'Iran has the capabilities to carry out military strikes on US interests around the globe.'"
off topic:
omg!!!!! never heard that before ! it's precious!!!!!! :lamo:lamo :mrgreen:
And what are we getting from our relationship with Israel? Tell me why it is worth the billions we have spent and the likelihood that Israel will draw us into what will probably be a very nasty war with Iran and beyond.
