Obambi Admin To Allow Iran To Develop Nukes
Posted on July 22, 2009
And then they will spend quite a bit defending against what they should have stopped. How else to read this?
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the US is prepared to bolster the defence of its Gulf allies if Iran develops a nuclear weapons programme.
Mrs Clinton said if the US extended a “defence umbrella” over the region, it was unlikely that Iran would be any stronger or safer having a weapon.
Speaking in an interview for Thai television, she said: “If the US extends a defence umbrella over the region, if we do even more to support the military capacity of those in the Gulf, it’s unlikely that Iran will be any stronger or safer because they won’t be able to intimidate and dominate as they apparently believe they can once they have a nuclear weapon.”
She said the US was still offering engagement to Iran but warned that the “nuclear clock was ticking”.
Interesting that Dear Leader has nixed any defense shield for our Polish and other western European allies, but, he is willing to spend godawful amounts of money (there’s a shocker!) defending other Gulf nations from Iranian nuclear weapons. Which they seem willing to allow Iran to develop, since, even though Obama is open to talks, begging for talks, the Iranians are just patting Obama on the head and telling him to get off their lawn.
While it may not be popular, wouldn’t it be easier and cheaper to just bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb bomb Iran’s nuclear weapons development centers?

Bombing Iran is not the cheaper solution. Remember Iraq?
Moreover, it will simply mean that they will have all the more justification to build those weapons if we bomb them – after all, we’re threatening their soveriegnty, and killing their people. When people were doing the same to us, it was entirely justified for us to build the nuclear bomb in order to end the killing.
See… you lack the ability to understand the point of views of others. You lack empathy and wisdom.
The solution is to be prudent. Let the government topple itself – its showing instability already. By making their yelling seem nothing more than empty ranting, we encourage those who oppose the government in that country, and do not give their people any more basis to hate us.
And really, this is just an excuse for us to further fund Israel’s defenses.
The reason we didn’t build a shield in Poland was because the Russians objected to it. It was a dual use shield – the purpose was not only to defend from crazies in the middle east and southeast asia, but to defend against Russia as well. Russia doesn’t want us to gain assymetric power over them, even though, reality is, we have it anyway.

You equate bombing Iran with Iraq and then claim “wisdom”?
Would wisdom not tell you Israel flew into Iraq and took out their nuclear facility without declaring war, killing thousands of people or occupying their country?
Your agenda will not allow for wisdom!
