Sooner or later something will have to give. If something does happen, it better happen sooner then later.
What happens when a rogue nation positions itself where an attack would be counter-productive.
Sanctions are not going to work. But things are going to reach a head where "something" has to be done. Israel does not have the ability to sustain an extended war with iran.
Now that the muslim brotherhood has taken power in egypt, any attack on iran by israel might cause egypt to attack israel.
If we can not secure our borders to stop illegal immigrants from walking into the nation, how are we supposed to stop a nuclear device?
The US government has been very irresponsible with securing our borders.
Then there is internal security. How many of our dams are secure? How about our bridges? How about our power plants and refineries?
Since when do people with radical religious views use logic?
I understand your point. But we are talking about a nation that hangs homosexuals.
There are radicals out there that believe the world is to be ruled by sharia law. We can not reason with people like that.
I think something will happen before the elections this November.
I also think there may be a device or three already in this country in storage somewhere.
I have heard that there are a few small Russian warheads that were unaccounted for.
As far as internal security, I would think municipal water supply's would be high on the list but from what I have seen theres not much security around many of those.
Hilllary needs to get people on board with some tough sanctions against iran or something is going to give. Are the Israelies supposed to wait until Iran gets nuclear capabilities and hope all the rhetoric was just rhetoric. I dont see how they can do that. Nato is useless so you cant count on them for anything. Its a crapppy situation if your Israel. Your damned if you do and damned if you dont.

Look Bro, I dont care what kind of sanctions you put on Iran, it aint gonna phase them in the least. Doesnt matter if its princes Clinton or the messiah, Obeyme leading the way. There are only 2 ways this debacle comes to an end. The world as a WHOLE(that includes Russia and China), comes down on them diplomatically and forces them through peer pressure to be reasonable or like Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Margret you pound them into submission when diplomacy is no longer effective. Looking down a smoking gun barrel or standing in a bomb crater is the only thing these people can understand and relate to.
To fix Iran, you'd have to go back and get Carter's pappy to wrap his pee-pee the time that Jimmy was spawned.
See, in the 1970's, Jimmy Carter took our best ally in the Persian Gulf area, Iran, and totally crapped them down the river, selling out the Shah for a trifle.. Just 40 million dollars per year the CIA paid to bribe the Mullah's to keep their idiot leader in exile, in France....
See, Carter, in his lack of wisdom, stopped that program, and inside of a year, the "Mullah's" used the Commies and Intellectuals to rise up, overthrow the Shah, and then they lined up the Commies/Professors/Intellectuals and shot them all. (Useful idiots, what need do you have of them when your done with them? None, so of course, just shoot them. Very logical these Muslims.)
So, "AMadInJihad" becomes a leader, and eventually, the current leader of Iran, or whatever they want to call it these days.
He's just the puppet boy of the Mullah's anyway, and that's been true of anyone who's the leader of Iran. The country is run by rich, corrupt "Muslim leaders" who exploit their country and rule with an iron fist and Sharia law. (Allah is on their side you see, and you can't fight Allah.)
If Carter had not screwed up, Iran was on the path to personal liberty and freedom that has not been known much in Muslim lands. Women with rights! WTF was the Shah thinking? LOL
A few decades more of that, and Iran would most likely be the shining star in the Middle East, a land with far more freedom than it has today, and still a very strong ally of the USA.
It's doubtful the war with Iraq would ever have happened, Saddam was a hated dude prior to the Mullah's taking over Iran, and absoluetly would not have had the USA's support like he did after the Muslims took over Iran.
And Syria? Hezboallah? Most of, if not all of the "muslim" terrorist groups would not have nearly the power they do today without the support of Iran.
Would Russia have gone into Trashcanistan? (I doubt it, with Iran being a serious US Ally at the time, but with Carter as POTUS? That weak F'k was so laughed at by the Russians and Chinese that our nation was pretty much ignored for his 4 years of disgraceful service as POTUS.)
Much like history will look back on Obama, as a guy with serious promise who in the end, failed to acomplish much, or even live up to his promises of hope and change...
After all, we have a POTUS who was given the peace prize, and then went on to become the drone slayer in command, who now blows up "the enemy" not with bullets or CIA spooks, but from hellfire missiles, off Reaper drones that circle around looking for suspected muslim terrorists.
Hey, I'm all for killing the enemy, but dang it's hard to be precise when your using an 11 pound HE warhead...
China and india are buying iran oil like its candy.
As long as iran has a steady cash flow coming in, nothing is going to change.
I agree that sanctions arent going to work. Maybe if China and Russia would get on board but they wont. So what is Israel supposed to do? Like them or not they have a right to protect themselves. Iran isnt helping the situation by running their mouth constantly. Its a crappy situation for Israel.

Oh yeah? Let's see the evidence.
And even if the CIA was paying off the mullahs, there was a lot more to the Iranian situation than you let on. The shah's secret police were so bad that Iran was a pressure cooker of discontent by 1979. The shah was an autocrat acting on behalf of western oil companies. His regime stymied the legitimate aspirations of the Iranian people, a situation we would never stand for in this country were it being done to us.
Adjuster thought it was OK to pull a number and claim out of his posterior orifice and post it here as if it were true (as he so often does), and you defend that.
Bad things happen overseas during all presidencies, or haven't you been paying attention?
And calling habitual liars to account for their postings of blatant falsehoods over and over again, even on a message board, is not "bickering." You yourself have assimilated many such falsehoods over time.

Nobody will ever know how much the Mullahs were paid. You claiming no payments were made?
You seem to be having a harder and harder time around here, Freesw the Gullible. It's crummy to be on the losing side, the one with the moral vacuum isn't it. You feel the need to lash out. Your posts have degenerated. You need to work on that.
