IAEA Finds Unexplained Plutonium, Enriched Uranium Traces in Iran Waste Facility

Nothing... want to post a link to an accredited reporting agency so we can form opinions ourselves, or should we just take your word for it?

 

Yes. Where's the link? Or is this disinformation?

 

I say; if true, that its too bad we are stuck in Iraq and lost credibility with the rest of the world. Come to think of it that's exactly what Iran must be thinking!

 

Here's an Associated Press report from the Houston Chronicle:

Why is it ok for Israel to have nuclear weapons but not Iran?

Same thing I've always said. Its too bad the Bush Administration squandered our international reputation and military capability destabilizing Iraq when there were real issues in the world to be dealt with. But in the aftermath of Bush's incomprehensible and collosal mistake in Iraq, we are going to have a harder time dealing with this one.

Odd question, but I'll give you a couple of obvious answers:

Israel views the weapons as a measure to avoid erasure, while Iran is an aggressor nation. Read their PM's remarks.

Iran is a *much* more likely funnel of nuclear weapons to terrorists than Israel is.

 

How odd that you think it odd. "Iran is an aggressor nation"

Most of the world regards Israel as an "aggressor nation". Certainly, the Palestinians and Lebanese do.

I am not saying it is a good thing for Iran to aquire nuclear weapons, but if they renounce them, there has to be a quid pro quo. In fairness, Israel, which poses a real threat to Iran, must do the same. There have been recent news stories suggesting that Israel has considered attacking Iran.

 

I say think goodness the U.S. people have taken a stand against Bush's aggression and stupidity so that it is much less likely now that we will rush into another stupid and illegal war without oversight.

 

This is what happens when you lose all credibility. Ask dbermanmd. No one believes anything he says without documented proof from sources readers deem as valid. He's tried to pass opinion off as fact too many times to be believable. Same thing with junior. He blew our reputation greatly and totally. Now, even if/when there is definitive proof of foreign evil doing, the international community will discount anything America says/proves. they will not come to our aid.

 

"I wonder why he picked Israel"

Could it be because Israel is the only middle eastern state with nuclear weapons? Or is that too obvious?

And in case your're implying I'm anti-semetic, my dentist is Jewish (a great guy and charges less than most), many co-workers are Jewish (nice guys), and I have 3 Jewish friends who are opposed to the policies of the current Israeli government. I do live in New York, you know, where probably one quarter of everyone you meet is Jewish. Put it this way, my son goes to public school and knows more about Hannuka than Christmas. He even has a dreidel. No, he is not going to have a Bar Mitzvah!

 

"You can number and identify the Jews in your life!! That speaks for itself."

What a strange statement. Of course I can. Maybe it is because they told me they are Jewish? Maybe because their office is closed on Yom Kippur. I also know who is Romanian, who is Irish, who is Canadian, who is Vietnamese, etc, etc. I don't know where you are, but that is New York.

You need to get out more.

PS. One of my "Jewish" co-workers just became a Buddhist. Does he still count as a Jew?

Not worth a response.
Anyone want to throw the doberman a bone?

You seem to think that knowing and respecting your friends and associates religion and heritage is a bad thing by "labeling" them... Point of fact, i could, if the need arose, go through my friends and tell you which of them were Jewish, Catholic, Christian, Methodist, Lutheran, etc etc etc... I generally don't and don't even think about it, but if i felt it would make a good point in a debate, then why not? It would be the same as me telling you how many Canadians, Mexicans, or Croatians i know - it doesn't tell you anything about my relationships with those individuals.

And for the record, there are individuals of about every race, religion, culture or creed that i willingly and often call brother and feel closer to than most people would imagine.

As far as Iran and nuclear weapons... so you found some nuclear waste that hasn't been explained... good job, chicken little - we were told a few years ago that they sky was falling, and look where it got us... stuck in Iraq.

Simply put, any of us can sit here and say "those bastards, they're gonna cause problems so we should go in", it gets a lot more complicated than that. We lost a lot of international credit with the war in Iraq. There's little we *should* do right now with this threat in Iran - instead, we should allow groups like the UN do their jobs. When the time is right, and there is a world wide backing for action, then, and only then, should we consider leading action against Iran.

you seem to be pushing the idea that we should go into Iran - whats your exit strategy, Mr. Doctor? While we're at it, did you do well at school and study so you could succeed.... or are you going to be stuck in Iran?
