"shrug" International relations is a flexible game and nuclear power is a flexible technology. There's no doubt that Iran was lying when it originally said that its nuclear program was for peaceful purposes back in the early 2000s, but for the time being they seem to be prepared to make good on the lie.

In wake of GOP letter to Iran, battle erupts over blame for dysfunction - The Washington Post

“If you are a country in the Middle East or Asia relying on Washington, this raises questions about America’s predictability,” said Richard Haass, who is president of the Council on Foreign Relations and served in the George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush administrations. “I hear this all the time. I just know it makes others around the world more uncomfortable and contributes to a more dangerous and disorderly world.”

Many in the GOP foreign policy establishment, meanwhile, expressed disappointment over the increasingly partisan nature of U.S. foreign policy. Former senator Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.), who previously served as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, described Cotton’s letter as “an unfortunate venture” and said he would have advised the freshman senator and Army veteran not to send it.

REMAINDER OF COMMENT REPRINTED BELOW

____________


Your method of posting and the fact that you screwed up your quote of my post makes it hard for me to address your post, so I'll try to respond without showing your actual words...you can refer back to your own post if you get confused.
_____________
A. How did I “screw up your post......” by documenting the fact that that your belief that Ahmadinejad threatened to “wipe Israel from the face of the earth” is based on a deliberate mistranslation intended to deceive Western readers (with obvious success) by a bias Western Major Media?

What he said was “Zionism will eventually disappear with the sands of time.....” That is the accurate translation from Farsi.

Have you forgotten similar lies by perpetrated by the same War Mongering, Right Wing Israeli/Zionist Lobbies & Neo-Cons to dupe Americans into supporting the Iraq War?

“Quietly lobbying Congress to approve the use of force in Iraq was one of AIPAC’s successes over the past year”
AIPAC Executive Director Howard Kohr; N.Y. Sun; Jan. ’03

_________
1. Do you deny that the Iranian government wishes to destroy Israel?

A. Overall, Yes & certainly no more than the Israeli Government wants to (and can) destroy Iran. It is primarily Israel’s Expansionist, Right Wing Zionists (not all Israelis) who wants Iran out of the way because Iran acts as a Check to to their Oded Yinon Plan(“Greater Israel”: From the Litani, to the Nile R. to the Tigris R.)
Read J.I.N.S.A.’s: “A Clean Break; A New Strategy for Securing the Realm”, P.N.A.C.; “Project for a New American Century”

For Example:

Iran’s support of Hezbollah (a Defensive, Resistance, Political, Humanitarian) has driven out Israeli Invasions of Lebanon in an old agenda to grab the Litani River & generally expand influence:

For Example:


“RE: I.C.E. CASE #14”
ICE Cases: Litani River Dispute
EXCERPT “The entire basin of the Litani River is located within the borders of Lebanon.
Israel seemingly is tempted to reach beyond its border to get access to the needed water. "Almost half of the water currently used in Israel is captured, diverted or preempted from its neighbors."(10)

_____________
I’m skipping 2, 3, 4, for now due to time & space constraints & relevancy but can refute them later if you like



3. I won't get into a pissing contest on which country is a bigger victim of terrorists. Do you deny that the Iranian government supports terrorists throughout the Middle East?

A. No more than Israel & the US when it suits their purposes

4. Alliances shift with world events, just as those in control of countries shift. But to say that the US supports Al Qaeda is ridiculous.

A. a.Q. is composed of countless, smaller “Terrorist” groups that have been aided by the U.S./ the West & Israel in Syrian Regime Change & Sunni vs Shia conflicts.

--------------------

5. You still don't understand...or you refuse to understand...I don't hate Iran or its people, so don't apply characteristics to me that I have not expressed. I will express that I do not like the Iranian government, their objective to obtain nuclear weapons or their actions in supporting terrorists throughout the Middle East.

A. I wouldn’t want to live under the Iranian form of government but think that everything about Iran has been grossly distorted by Western Major Media to a grossly misinformed/uninformed US public. 60% of Americans still can’t find Iraq on a map.

My first loyalty is to the US, its best interests, its people, military & fellow Vets. Our current relationship with Iran is driven by Foreign lobbies, enormously wasteful, and contrary to what’s best for the US & those to whom I am loyal. Iran has repeatedly offered aid & reached out for improved relations only to be rebuffed.

I am not anti Israel and feel the unconditional US government support for any and all Israeli crimes & atrocities enable suicidal misadventures & are counter-productive to both peoples. Record numbers of IDF are committing suicide simply from witnessing/committing Government ordered atrocities in Gaza. Only 26 Israelis have died from all Hamas "Raining Rockets" total

S. Korea is the only country that is faced by a nuclear threat but remains unmentioned in the Ziono-Con contrived anti-Iran hysteria which most Americans don't buy.

Click to expand...

No that's the damn lie propagated by the Mullah apologist and propagandist Juan Cole whom Christopher Hitchens proved as the damned liar that he is:

There are two separate but related matters here. For a start, let us look at the now-famous speech that Ahmadinejad actually gave at the Interior Ministry on Oct. 26, 2005. (I am using the translation made by Nazila Fathi of the New York Times Tehran bureau, whose Persian is probably the equal of Professor Cole's.) The relevant portions read:

Our dear Imam [Khomeini] said that the occupying regime must be wiped off the map and this was a very wise statement. We cannot compromise over the issue of Palestine. … Our dear Imam targeted the heart of the world oppressor in his struggle, meaning the occupying regime. … For over fifty years the world oppressor tried to give legitimacy to the occupying regime, and it has taken measures in this direction to stabilize it.

Ahmadinejad then denounced the recent Israeli-Palestinian negotiations over Gaza as a sellout and added, "If we get through this brief period successfully, the path of eliminating the occupying regime will be easy and down-hill."

Not even Professor Cole will dispute that, in the above passages, the term "occupying regime" means Israel and the term "world oppressor" stands for the United States. (The title of the conference, incidentally, was The World Without Zionism.) In fact, Khomeini's injunctions are referred to twice. Quite possibly, "wiped off the map" is slightly too free a translation of what he originally said, and what it is mandatory for his followers to repeat. So, I give it below, in Persian and in English, and let you be the judge:

Esrail ghiyam-e mossalahaane bar zed-e mamaalek-e eslami nemoodeh ast va bar doval va mamaalek-eeslami ghal-o-gham aan lazem ast.


My source here is none other than a volume published by the Institute for Imam Khomeini. Here is the translation:

Israel has declared armed struggle against Islamic countries and its destruction is a must for all governments and nations of Islam.

This is especially important, and is also the reason for the wide currency given to the statement: It is making something into a matter of religious duty. The term "ghal-o-gham" is an extremely strong and unambivalent one, of which a close equivalent rendering would be "annihilate."

Professor Cole has completely missed or omitted the first reference in last October's speech, skipped to the second one, and flatly misunderstood the third. (The fourth one, about "eliminating the occupying regime," I would say speaks for itself.) He evidently thinks that by "occupation," Khomeini and Ahmadinejad were referring to the Israeli seizure of the West Bank and Gaza in 1967. But if this were true, it would not have been going on for "more than fifty years" now, would it? The 50th anniversary of 1967 falls in 2017, which is a while off. What could be clearer than that "occupation regime" is a direct reference to Israel itself?

One might have thought that, if the map-wiping charge were to have been inaccurate or unfair, Ahmadinejad would have denied it. But he presumably knew what he had said and had meant to say. In any case, he has an apologist to do what he does not choose to do for himself. But this apologist, who affects such expertise in Persian, cannot decipher the plain meaning of a celebrated statement and is, furthermore, in need of a remedial course in English.


What Iran's leaders are really saying about Israel.

What he said was “Zionism will eventually disappear with the sands of time.....” That is the accurate translation from Farsi.

Hezbollah is an internationally recognized terrorist organization which is in overt violation of the UNSC Resolution 1559 demanding that all paramilitary organizations disarm following the withdrawal of Israel from Lebanon which was certified as complete by the UNSC in 2000, there is nothing defensive about Hezbollah it is an expansionist terror organization sworn to destroy Israel and establish a theocratic Islamic regime in its place:




The Necessity for the Destruction of Israel

We see in Israel the vanguard of the United States in our Islamic world. It is the hated enemy that must be fought until the hated ones get what they deserve. This enemy is the greatest danger to our future generations and to the destiny of our lands, particularly as it glorifies the ideas of settlement and expansion, initiated in Palestine, and yearning outward to the extension of the Great Israel, from the Euphrates to the Nile.

Our primary assumption in our fight against Israel states that the Zionist entity is aggressive from its inception, and built on lands wrested from their owners, at the expense of the rights of the Muslim people. Therefore our struggle will end only when this entity is obliterated. We recognize no treaty with it, no cease fire, and no peace agreements, whether separate or consolidated.

We vigorously condemn all plans for negotiation with Israel, and regard all negotiators as enemies, for the reason that such negotiation is nothing but the recognition of the legitimacy of the Zionist occupation of Palestine. Therefore we oppose and reject the Camp David Agreements, the proposals of King Fahd, the Fez and Reagan plan, Brezhnev's and the French-Egyptian proposals, and all other programs that include the recognition (even the implied recognition) of the Zionist entity.

Hizbollah's Political Manifesto 2009

An Open Letter: The Hizballah Program - Council on Foreign Relations

We categorically reject any compromise with Israel or recognizing its legitimacy This position is definitive, even if everyone recognizes "Israel".

Our stance on the negotiations and compromises made by the Madrid Conference,the "Araba Valley retrospect" the "Oslo Accords", the "Camp David Accord" is a totalrefusal to any kind of compromise with the Zionist entity, which is based onadmitting its legitimate presence, and giving in what it occupied from the Palestinian Arab and Islamic land. This stance is predetermined and permanent and isn't set for any compromise, even if the whole world admits to "Israel".

Israel's invasion & destruction of Southern Lebanon was preceded by the CAPTURE of 2 Israeli soldiers in Lebanon. Soldiers are "captured", civilians are "kidnapped".

The 2 captured Israeli soldiers were intended by IDF to be captured as another Israeli "Provoke-then-destroy" strategy as clearly articulated
by Moshe Dayan much earlier and repeatedly used to this day:


"Our strategy was always to provoke the Arabs and get an appropriate response so we could attack and smash them".
[Israeli General Moshe Dayan; diaries]
Not so Happy New Year! New Years (p49)


One of Israel's honest & ethical Commanders exposed the extent of indiscriminate IDF slaughter:

IDF commander: We fired more than a million cluster bombs in Lebanon - Israel News | Haaretz

Quoting his battalion commander, the rocket unit head stated that the IDF fired around 1,800 cluster bombs, containing over 1.2 million cluster bomblets."CONTINUED


Those same bomblets continued to kill & maim Lebanese farmers curious children for years afterward.


As Hezbollah was routing the retreating IDF invaders, IDF unleashed its heaviest targeting of Lebanese civilians & infrastructure only hours before the known ceasefire as retaliation for its humiliating defeat.

IDF initiated the 2006 War & invasion. Hezbollah simply expelled the invaders & rebuilt civilian homes, hospitals etc
