Iran’s Bomb

Posted by Bio ↓ on Jun 16th, 2010

If the newest round of sanctions levied against Iran by the international community doesn’t stop Iran’s march towards a nuclear weapon, what will? That answer to that question, whatever it may be, will fundamentally shift the balance of power in the Middle East. There is no good solution to dilemma of the Iranian bomb, and as time goes on and the bomb comes nearer to reality, the options will only get worse. Nonetheless, a decision must be made. Is the Obama administration up to the task?

In a recent New York Times analysis, veteran journalist David Sanger suggests not. The administration has plans, to be sure — diplomatic pressure, military deterrence, backroom negotiations, continued economic measures, intelligence operations, etc — but as Sanger depressingly notes, the administration’s own officials grant that even combined, all these steps will work out to be “not enough.” If resolutely applied, they may slow Iran’s progress towards a nuclear weapon, but that’s all. If things continue down their current path, an Iranian nuclear bomb is guaranteed.

After all, the history of the regime has shown that international pressure does little to impress the Tehran theocracy. After the UN Security Council handed the latest round of sanctions down two weeks ago, Iran indeed spun the situation to its advantage, using the unified front being presented by the world’s great powers to rally support for the regime inside Iran. “We have always used this unity option with a solid heart against any attack,” prominent Iranian cleric Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani told reporters. “I believe we have to preserve this unity, even if it has been slightly tarnished.” In other words, the regime is portraying itself as the hero, standing up to foreign pressure. It’s an old game, but a useful one.

Even as the regime makes good use of this latest series of sanctions, adopted for their mutual agreeability to all the veto-wielding members of the Security Council rather than their ability to punish Iran, President Obama is working to weaken sanctions proposed by Congress, including his own party. The new sanctions, targeting Iran’s energy sector, are reportedly deemed by the administration to be too strong, running the risk of provoking a backlash from European allies, as well as the Russians and Chinese. (Concerns over a European backlash seem unlikely, given that the European Union is also discussing a new round of sanctions, likewise aimed at Iran’s petroleum revenues, upon which the regime is totally dependent for survival.)

Why the President would seek to weaken sanctions that even the dovish Europeans are considering is difficult to fathom, particularly since these would not be international sanctions, but limited to American companies and individuals. Perhaps it’s yet another attempt to demonstrate America’s goodwill to a regime that continues to oppress its own citizens, export terror and seeks to destabilize the Western world’s only reliable outpost in the region. Whatever the aim, it will not succeed. Not sanctioning Iran didn’t work, but Obama’s advisors agree that sanctioning it won’t work, either … what else can be done?

Indeed, Sanger’s piece lays out the grim proof that sanctions do not work. Sanctions, and the threat of them, did not stop India and Pakistan from developing and testing their nuclear weapons. North Korea utterly destroyed its own national economy in the pursuit of nuclear weapons even in the face of devastating international sanctions (far worse than have been levied against Iran), and the end result was a starving populace in a nuclear-armed state. Years of sanctions did little to bring Saddam to heel, only outright conquest of his country was able to dislodge him and his loyalists from Iraq’s numerous palaces. Iran has already accepted that it will face sanctions if it continues to pursue a bomb, and has planned accordingly. The regime has been crystal clear in their priorities — they value a nuclear arsenal more than President Obama’s friendship or free trade with the international community. Short of vaporizing Tel Aviv, they can’t get much clearer. Why can’t the White House accept what is plain?

Perhaps because the administration is privately aware that they have no idea how to respond to the inevitable, and therefore seek to postpone it as long as possible. One White House official told Sanger that asking what America will do to stop Iran’s construction of a bomb is “not the kind of question you win many points asking.” Other suggest that the White House has not yet, even at this late date, truly determined how far it will let Iran go, and what steps it’s willing to take to hold them back from that point of no return. That the White House might not have yet made this fundamental determination is nothing less than horrifying. Every other option, every possible contingency scenario, hinges upon knowing how far one is willing to go. Until you know what, you are helpless. Iran knows this, and continues to build its bombs accordingly.

But not every country is as content to wait for Iran to embrace the ways of peace. Last week, the London Times reported that, afraid of what an Iranian bomb would mean for the Arab world, that Saudi Arabia had quietly consented to Israel flying through its airspace as part of any attack on Iran. Saudi Arabia quickly denied the report, of course, but it does point to a bleak truth — neither Israel nor the Arab states want to see Iran develop a bomb. And if the United States won’t take serious action to stop them, someone else — alone or in cooperation with their neighbors — might decide to do it themselves.

    We should have taken care of this when it was a little problem. The longer we wait, the bigger it grows. If anyone is truly capable of starting a nuclear war it is Iran.

  2. William Smart says:

    Let's guarantee Iran from attack and flood them with consumer goodies, that'll stop the problem. Their mineral wealth is a mill-stone round their neck, but if we stop trying to steal it they can go back to the peaceful slumber they were in for 270 years before our friend Saddam attacked them.

    • Turbeaux says:

      William…I don’t know what it is you must be smoking so early this morning but whatever it is I want some because it must be pretty good. Can you please send me over some of that stuff? I’d appreciate it after reading this very depressing article.

      At all cost, Iran must be stopped from acquiring the Islamic bomb, as unlike we kafir infidels, Muslims who are inculcated to love death more than we love life, (as they like to remind us ad nauseum all the time) cannot and will not be deterred by the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction. I mean in Islam there is no better way to die than to die a martyr and to become a Shahid in the cause of Allah, and receive as a reward a one-way ticket to Allah’s version of carnal paradise for themselves and their immediate family members as well.

      Moreover, if Muslims are just like us when it comes to religion, peace, and loving freedom and liberty, then why have they refused to assimilate and integrate without exception in every non-Islamic country in the world, including in the USA, where they have intentionally infiltrated?

      I’m afraid Muslims don’t acquire nukes for defensive purposes; they only seek nukes for offensive purposes and the jihad only. If you believe otherwise, you need to keep your head buried in the sand and continue pretending that Islam is a Religion of Peace™.

      When Iran becomes nuclear armed, look for the Sunni Islamic world to soon follow suit, as Pakistan will transition from being a country that has a weak and basket case economy dependent upon foreign handouts just to survive to becoming the Sunni world’s nuclear supermarket and acquiring a very strong and vibrant economy, as it’s nuclear arsenal, far beyond what it needs to protect itself from India, which, by the way, is not the aggressor in that jihad, but like Israel, is the victim, will go on sale to the highest bidders in the oil rich Sunni Islamic world.

      Thus the Islamic world, whose sixth and most important pillar of Islam, the one the Islamic world doesn’t like to openly publicize, which is the holy obligation to make Islam supreme throughout the world, will become nuclear armed to the teeth and will not only hold oil over us but soon nuclear weapons as well.

      Finally, if a nuclear armed N. Korea can sink a S. Korean ship and kill 42 sailors in cold blood with total and complete impunity thanks to nukes, just imagine what a nuclear armed Iran will be able to do once it becomes armed with nuclear weapons.

  3. I.Kemp says:

    Of course Obama is not up to the task nor will he take any military action whatsoever to stop Iran's nuclear "final solution"- first Israel (assuming they do nothing either )then the rest .

  4. Peter E. Coleman says:

    When Russia finishes delivering the arsenal of tyranny-Obama will act.

    • Turbeaux says:

      Meanwhile, he cut the one defensive system we had that could defeat that arsenal of tyranny because it was too expensive.

  5. Kanwi says:

    I think Obama is a stealth Jihadist or closet Jihadist. Not only has he kept the leash on Israel tight by threatening and slowing the funding side of things and holding strategic bunker buster weapons promised by Bush back on the Island of Diego Garcia he is watering down American leverage over Iran. This is just another side of shadowy Obama, like the Birth Certificate issue now getting a head of steam of it's own and the book 'The Manchurian President' opening up another 'can of worms'. I agree that he is not up to the task but only you Americans can fix matters.

  6. Cuban Refugee says:

    Ahmadinejad is merely a protagonist for Obama as he performs the nefarious work our unconstitutionally-elected president would like to do: build nuclear weapons that will wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Obama's duplicitous hand will be on the holocaust button as surely as if he was in the control room in Iran.

  7. Andres de Alamaya says:

    When one looks at the world today one sees so many countries that are so many basket cases with us being led by the basket case in chief. If you look at history, you'll conclude that only little bitty Israel can and probably will save the world from a nuclear Iran. In the late 1960s and early '70s various hostage takings by Islamic terrorists took place and no country made any counter moves. The day we celebrated our 200th anniversary, Israel pulled off the rescue at Entebbe in Uganda. If you're too young to remember, the following will give you an overview:

    THAT LITTLE BITTY COUNTRY SHOWED US HOW
    I’d been wondering what had happened to our world
    As if someone turned it upside down and got it all unfurled
    Any bum who had a gun could have his day
    And all the sheep in leader’s clothes would look the other way

    But that little bitty country showed us how
    You don’t talk to bullies, you don’t bow
    You move like a man and you mow’em down
    The Rescue at Entebbe is renowned

    The bullies with their guns took the plane
    They had grenades and acted bold with blazing eyes, insane,
    The innocent a board were bound for France
    They had no chance

    But that little bitty country showed us how
    You don’t talk to bullies, you don’t bow
    You move like a man and you mow’em down
    The Rescue at Entebbe is renowned

    The bullies made demands, acted tough
    A hundred souls they herded in a hanger, handled rough
    With not a friend between, a thousand leagues away
    That little bitty country decided what to do that day

    Yes that little bitty country showed us how
    You don’t talk to bullies, you don’t bow
    You move like a man and you mow’em down
    The Rescue at Entebbe is renowned

    Across the sea we celebrated in the sun
    200 years since we had dealt with bullies and had won
    While we rejoiced and waved our flags, they flew their planes at night
    They did what seemed impossible, they saved their kin; they won their fight…
    That little bitty country showed us how.

    I say it is high time to wipe places like Iran and Isreal off the map. Both are rouge nations. Which one is worse is the question

    • Brett says:

      Wipe Israel off the map? Are you crazy……..
      Which one is worse, you mean you cant figure that out?
      Israel is a democracy, an ally & is not sending agents to kill our troops or supply terrorists with weapons to do so. Please educate yourself on the subject because you sound like a fool with such silly comments like this.

      • TNM says:

        Isreal?? You mean the country that straps teenage boys to tanks and uses them for human shields, the country that murders people on an aid ship, the country that uses white phosphorus shells to kill people inthe gaza strip? Please don't tell me they are a great nation. It sure is funny how American news leaves out some infomation.

        • Turbeaux says:

          You swallow more garbage than a fat pig living in a garbage dump. Have you ever heard of Taqiyya and exploiting the ignorance’s of useful idiots? Believe me when I say that your ignorance’s have been obviously exploited to the hilt. Meanwhile, the Muslims are guilty of doing everything you falsely accuse the Israelis of like a mentally incompetent bigot and much more, and unlike with respect to your absurd allegations that are all baseless in fact, I can actually back up and support mine.

          Meanwhile, can you point to just one Muslim country anywhere in the world where Muslim females aren’t treated worse than dogs and where non-Muslim dhimmis aren’t harshly persecuted and often violently oppressed? Excuse me if I don’t hold my breath.

          By the way, regarding the 20 percent of the population of Israel that are Muslims, can non-Muslim dhimmis and females living in the surrounding Muslim countries vote and run for elective office, serve as city councilman, alderman, and mayors, become members of Knesset (MKs), become ambassadors to foreign countries, serve on the judiciaries and on the Supreme court, and get appointed as cabinet level ministers like the Muslims have in Israel? Yet, like a loon you want to vilify and demonize Israel and incite hatred and violence against Jews because you are too dumb not to take the words of Muslims that not only want to subjugate Jews but all non-Muslims as well.
          Meanwhile, at the same time as the Muslims relentlessly falsely accuse Israel of breaking every international law on the books, there isn’t a devout Muslim alive on the planet that even adheres to international law because, as for as Islam is concerned, international laws are manmade laws, which are fallible and unjust because they emanate from man, while Sharia, on the other hand, is infallible and perfectly just because it emanates directly from Allah (God). Hence, at the same time Muslim terrorists make unfounded false allegations against Israelis, you blindly accept the taqiyya of Muslim terrorists with the blood of dead Jews on their hands, and you couldn’t be a bigger unhinged loon and useful idiot.

        • MixMike says:

          "You mean the country that straps teenage boys to tanks and uses them for human shields"

          Whoops, you got confused, it is actually the Palestinians that use children (or in the case of Hussam Abdo, exploit mentally handicapped children) as human shields and bombs:
          http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Terrorism-+Obstacle+to+…

          "the country that murders people on an aid ship"

          Correction, the country that kills IHH terrorists trying to murder Israeli soldiers. By the way, they still have not found any "aid" on the Mavi Marmara, only stacks of cash for Hamas.

          "the country that uses white phosphorus shells to kill people inthe gaza strip"

          Actually, the International Red Cross, stated that it found no evidence to suggest that white phosphorus was being used improperly or illegally by Israel.

          "It sure is funny how American news leaves out some infomation."

          It is, otherwise you would have known the facts above. I guess that's what happens when you get your news from the left leaning NYT and CNN.

      • TNM says:

        Since I sound like a "fool" here is a link to their weekly human rights violations: http://www.uruknet.info/?p=m66900&hd=&siz…

        • Turbeaux says:

          I'm impressed. You managed to link to one of a million Saudi financed web sites, as the information jihad is more destructive than violent jihad in the case of Israel, and never mind the fact that anywhere and everywhere Muslims fight jihad, they always present themselves as the victims like in Nigeria, India, Thailand, Philippines, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum and too many other places to name. .

          • TNM says:

            I can post many links. Please go a google search on Israel Human Rights violations I am sure all 20,900,000 results are lies. http://www.hrw.org/en/home

            I suppose the human rights watch group is part of the jihad also. Come on open your eyes.

          • Turbeaux says:

            The number of google responses is a testament to the deep pockets of the House of Saud and the enormity of the information jihad against the Israelis.

            As for as those so-called human rights watch groups goes, those unholy organizations are self-anointed. They could care less about the human rights of Jews, which was why they were completely silent while Hamas rained down over 5000 rockets on Southern Israel.

          • MixMike says:

            Are you saying that an Arabic website financed by Wahabist Saudis could be biased against Israel???

    • Turbeaux says:

      With all due respect, only mentally incompetent loons can be dumb enough to morally equate Iran with Israel. If I were you I would seek mental help for your severe mental issues due to moral relativism.

      Of course, you only said the above because you knew it would be seen a provocative and would inevitably provoke harsh responses. Well, it worked.

      • TNM says:

        So you think it is ok for a country to strap young men to a tank and use them for human shields? Don't get me wrong I am by no means a supporter of Iran, but Israel does the same thing and everyone turns a blind eye on their human rights violations. Why is that? Who is the mental incompetent loon? The person who chooses to ignore facts or the ones who looks at facts from all sides of the argument?

        • Israel doesn't need to "strap young men to a tank and use them for human shields". Israelis actually know how to fight a war, as they have proven on several notable occasions.

          • TNM says:

            They do strap young men to tanks and use them as human shields though.
            http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/07/02/israel….

          • MixMike says:

            No where in that article does it say that young men are strapped to tanks and used as human shields. Its just a lie you made up off the top of your head.

            Anyhow, about 1,100 Palestinians were killed in Operation Cast Lead in 2009. Over 700 were terrorists or affiliated with terrorist organizations. While it is tragic whenever there are civilian deaths, Israel goes out of its way to avoid civilian tragedies, whereas groups like Hamas intentionally and deliberately attack civilians. It is a well known that Hamas (not Israel) uses Palestinian children and civilians as human shields and human bombs.

          • TNM says:

            Well you just go on living in a little dream world and believe that this country does no wrong.

          • MixMike says:

            Too hard to respond to the facts huh?

      • TNM says:

        If you have children how would you like if they used your kids for human shields? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/mar/09/israe…

        • Turbeaux says:

          Yeah right, B’Tselem, a self-anointed so-called human rights organization, but in reality a useful idiot organization, that has been making off the wall and absurd allegations against Israel for decades. Meanwhile, in all the decades they have been falsely accusing Israel of everything imaginable under the sun, they have not once in all those many years ever proved the first allegation, yet you not only condemn Israel on the word of a totally biased organization with zero credibility, like an anti-Semtic bigot you come here to repeat those asinine and absurd allegations as if they are true in order to incite hatred and violence towards Jews.

          Indeed, you are not only an unhinged anti-Semitic bigot, but you are also a mentally incompetent loon as well because you can’t back up the first thing you falsely accuse Israel of. Meanwhile, at the same time you sympathize with Muslims and apologize for terrorists, while you also incite hatred and violence towards Jews like a bigot, you can’t point to a single Muslim country anywhere in the world where females aren’t treated like animals and non-Muslims aren’t systematically persecuted and often violently oppressed and even killed. Talk about a gullible useful idiot, you epitomize that phenomena.

          • TNM says:

            So Isreal did not murder anyone on an aid ship either. I am not anti jew just so you know. I like how you resort to name calling when I am trying to have a nice debate with you. As far as the muslium faith they are just as bad and wiped off the map to. You a christian?

          • Turbeaux says:

            “So Isreal did not murder anyone on an aid ship either.”

            Only if you call self defense murder? Not to mention that those Turks were members of shady organizations associated with terrorist attacks perpetrated against the west. Indeed, you are a very useful and gullible idiot.

            Hell, you hate Jews so much that you intentionally even misspell the name of their country wrong in post after post!

            “I am not anti jew just so you know.”

            Yeah right! You are obsessed with hating Jews!

            “I like how you resort to name calling when I am trying to have a nice debate with you.”

            Excuse me, but you are inciting hatred and violence towards Jews based totally on absurd false allegations made by Muslims themselves or by totally biased organizations and that isn’t debating, that is bigotry.

            “As far as the muslium faith they are just as bad and wiped off the map to.”

            Yeah, according to you and your sickening allegiance to moral relativism, everything is a moral equivalence.

            “You a christian?”

            I’m agnostic.

          • TNM says:

            I'm an atheist. So when is shooting people that have kitchen knives self defense? I am not inciting hatred against jews. Are you that fning stupid? Do you know what a bigot is? You are the prime example don't look at anything except one side. Please do the world a favor and take your worthless POS ass, wrap a rope around your skinny pathetic neck and jump. Hopefully the sharp pain will be felt before you sh it yourself. People who hate all others like you are pathetic. So stick up for nations who use children as human shields. Oh yeah that country admitted to using phosphourus tiped bullets

          • Turbeaux says:

            Everyone of your absurd allegations you have made so for has come from leftwing sympathizers of Muslims. Can't you post a link from a credible site and a site that doesn't have an ax to grind against Jews and the state of Israel?

          • TNM says:

            It really dosen't matter any link I post you would cry foul. You go on and believe that Israel is better then the rest of the countries over there. Everyone of those countries over there are terroist rouge nations and they all need delt with.

          • MixMike says:

            Yup, and the International Red Cross, stated that it found no evidence to suggest that white phosphorus was being used improperly or illegally by Israel.

          • TNM says:

            The Israel government admitted to it. There are pictures. It is illegal to use them bullts in urban areas. I suppose all the different pictures are fake.

          • MixMike says:

            Of course they admitted to it, the use of white phosphorus is legal in conflict so long as used properly. And as I have already stated, the International Red Cross confirmed that Israel used it properly and legally.

          • TNM says:

            To bad it is illegal to use in urban areas

          • MixMike says:

            Its not, go back and read what I wrote. The International Red Cross confirmed that Israel used it properly and LEGALLY. Don't pretend that you know or understand international law.

          • When the people with the knives are trying to kill you with them …

          • TNM says:

            Yeah maybe commandos shold not board aid ships with automatic weapons like a bunch of hoodlums. Maybe everyone should got on their knees to make the excutions go quicker. If someone came after you with a gun would you defend yourself?

          • MixMike says:

            "Yeah maybe commandos shold not board aid ships with automatic weapons like a bunch of hoodlums."

            The commandos entered with paintball guns only to be nearly lynched by the "peace activists."

          • TNM says:

            A couple of them did. The rest had automatic weapons. The fact is they had no right to even go on that ship.

          • MixMike says:

            "A couple of them did. The rest had automatic weapons. "

            No, the entire first wave had paintball guns. Only after they were attacked by the "activists" did they pull their handguns and prevent themselves from being murdered.

            "The fact is they had no right to even go on that ship."

            No, you are ignorant of international law… Israel had a legal blockade of Gaza and were legally allowed to board the ships to enforce their legal blockade.

          • TNM says:

            Nothing like not letting people get the AID they need

          • MixMike says:

            You mean the stacks of cash for Hamas terrorists and cement to build weapons smuggling tunnels? They have searched the Mavi Marmara up and down and still not found any humanitarian aid on board. Keep trying to live the lie.

          • Turbeaux says:

            “I'm an atheist. So when is shooting people that have kitchen knives self defense? I am not inciting hatred against jews.”

            First of all, Hamas doesn’t use kitchen knives against Jews or any other non-Muslim kafir infidels, for that matter, unless it is to lop off their heads while they are being held down and are still alive, and while the Muslims also holler Allahu Ackbar (God is great!), in emulation of their holy prophet, Muhammad.

            “Are you that fning stupid? Do you know what a bigot is? You are the prime example don't look at anything except one side. Please do the world a favor and take your worthless POS ass, wrap a rope around your skinny pathetic neck and jump. Hopefully the sharp pain will be felt before you sh it yourself. People who hate all others like you are pathetic. Go fu Ck yourself “

            What makes you so dumb that you would insinuate that I’m only looking at the jihad against Israel from only one side? The reality is I have looked at both sides of the equation for many, many years, and the reality is if an Israeli citizens makes a mistake and crosses the line, that Israeli will be prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent of the law by the state of Israel, whereas if a Muslim kills a Jew or another non-Muslim kafir in cold blood, that Muslim will be commemorated as a Shahid in the eyes of all devout Muslims. Hell, they will even name streets, parks, and buildings after them to commemorate his or her heroism. Indeed, the state of Israel investigates all allegations made against the citizens of Israel and punished all Israeli citizens found guilty of committing crimes. While you can’t even find or cite one instance where the reverse is true.

            Indeed, it is very obvious to me that you don’t have the first clue about Islam or the nature of the permanent jihad, not only being waged and perpetrated against the tiny state of Islam, but indeed the entire non-Islamic world. You are totally oblivious, yet you not only resort to bigotry against Jews on this site; you also resort to personally attacking me for making a total and complete fool out of you. So you need to go take your own advice!

          • MixMike says:

            "So when is shooting people that have kitchen knives self defense?"

            When the kitchen knives are being used to slit your throat or stab you to death, self defense is justified. In the eyes of the law when someone is using deadly force it is a legal defense to use deadly force to protect your life.

            BTW, the attackers also had metal pipes to bash in the soldiers brains, stun grenades, large machette-like military knives and stolen handguns from the Israelis. This was after the mean ol' Israelis entered with paintball guns… paintball guns!

          • Gerald says:

            You shouldn't go to a gunfight with kitchen knives.

          • MixMike says:

            "So Isreal did not murder anyone on an aid ship either."

            Exactly… legitimate self defense is not murder.

          • TNM says:

            "Meanwhile, at the same time you sympathize with Muslims and apologize for terrorists"

            Who is the loon? I hate all terrorists. You are a complete nut case to say things like that. I never once said anything to the that matter. You need your reading glasses checked.

          • Turbeaux says:

            “Who is the loon? I hate all terrorists. You are a complete nut case to say things like that.”

            You are repeating deliberately false allegations put forth by Muslim terrorists as if they are true in order to incite hated and violence against Jews at the same time you falsely accuse Israel of killing Muslims on that boat in cold blood and if that isn’t sympathizing and apologizing for Muslim terrorists, then it doesn’t exist. If anyone is a nut case, that nut case is you.

            “I never once said anything to the that matter. You need your reading glasses checked.”

            You need to read your own damn posts!

    If I were President I would not only give Israel permission to fly over Saudi airspace and bomb Irans nuclear facilities but I would supply my best jet fighters to assist them in their task.
    I would make sure that all Anti-Aircraft ground-to-air missiles were knocked out of commission.
    Israel will have a very daunting task if they make the choice.
    I am certain this current "Caliph in waiting" won't help them.

  10. Shareef says:

    How much you Americans need to convince that your PRESIDENT HUSSEIN OBAMA wants muslims to win this war on terrorism? You see he has a very dark and mysterious past. His father and step father were both muslims. How can you Americans be so easiluy hood winked by this muslim. He wants his brothers the muslims to win and he will will succeed if Americans do nothing.

  11. Peacemaker says:

    Fascist Zionists are itching to destroy another country through their uncle Sam. But, what they ignore is this fact: Israel is the Goliath and will soon face the day of reckoning. Your propaganda is not working as it used to be; the world is now witnessing your ugly face.

    Peace,
    Edip

    In additon, Iranians that are fighting the corrupt regime know that they cannot expect any support from the current administartion. North Korea is provoking and bullying every day — just imagine what it would look like when the thugs in Iran play the same game in the Persian Golf or in the Middle East. North Korean leader will look like one the Sisters of Mercy!

  13. TNM says:

    Israel launched a 22-day attack on Gaza on Dec. 27, 2008, that killed 1,400 people, including hundreds of women and children. Thousands more were injured, losing arms, legs and eyes and becoming paralyzed. The United Nations Goldstone report found that Israel committed war crimes. These crimes included the dropping of white phosphorous, which burns through the skin and when inhaled causes people to bake to death from the inside, and DIME (Dense Inert Metal Explosive), which tears off limbs.

    • MixMike says:

      So you lost on the "Flotilla" arguments and now you have moved on to Operation Cast lead? Whatever you can find to attack and vilify Israel and the Jews.
