Re: Iran Opens Campaign to Lay Blame on U.S. if Nuclear Talks Fail
I agree with the stability of Pakistan, especially after the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Qadeer_Khan network and it's selling of nuclear technologies to all kinds of buyers with the money, most of which were the unsavory type, however, they have their nuclear weapons, and there's no removing them. Multiple administrations from both parties haven't bomb, bomb, bombed them, so your chant has a bit less traction and credibility, I'm thinking.Ok, leaving Israel out of this then. Besides the fact that I have zero concerns that a nuclear weapons powered Iran would be a threat to me. Very educated senior fellows at the Council on Foreign Relations have argued the merits of a nuclear powered Iran on the basis of the stability it would bring to the region. Pakistan is a far less stabile nation than Iran, and they seem to be maintaining control of their nukes.
Then you can lump both sides of the congressional political isle that voted for Iraqi military action not once, but twice.Saddam was NOT a threat to the United States was the point. "Do we have to wait for the smoking gun to come in the form of a mushroom cloud over a US city" was the bull**** fear mongering advanced to scare an American population into supporting a completely gratuitous war that the Rand Corporation has defined as Bush's "blunder" and the 16 intelligence agencies pointed out caused an increase in global terrorism and made America LESS SAFE!!!! So stop defending the indefensible.
Otherwise, Obama will be gone soon, and hawkish as the old goat is, whether we get Hillary or John Ellis, you'll still have the opportunity to bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran!!! :shrug:
