Iranian official expects first U.S. military action against Iran in two months Isn't it interesting how this stuff just "comes up" around election time in Iran.... * PLONK * yeah, bush's saber rattling has no effect on his comments. every day the whitehouse makes new accusations. of course they have "proof" that they can't share for security reasons. and the whitehouse wouldn't lie now would it. What proof are you talking about? I have heard no accusation of proof that Iran is building nuclear weapons. I've seen estimates that they could get from where they are now with their nuclear programs to a deliverable weapon in a pretty short period of time, but I've seen nobody claim to have evidence that they are activly working on it. However, there are clear facts that... 1. Iran's leadership would like to annhilate Israel. This is not speculation. Various Iranian leaders, including the current President, have said it many times, and re-confirm it whenever they are asked. 2. Iran is building nuclear mining, processing, enrichment, and reactor facilities. Again, Iran makes no denial that this is taking place. They claim that it is for peaceful power generation purposes, not for creating weapons. Now, anybody who wants to can look into what is required to prepare uranium for a nuclear power plant, and see that many of the things that Iran is doing with their uranium (again, fully in the open), is not necessary unless you are making weapons. I also like their repeated states of "Even if we WERE making nuclear weapons, we have a right to do that if we want to. Israel, India, Pakestan, and others have them, what gives anyone the right to say we can't have them as well". 3. Iran is building, and testing, long range ballistic delivery systems. They have announced the capabilities of these systems to the worrld and put out a press release each time they conduct a test. No secret stuff here either. So without the benefit of ANY sensiitive intel, you have clear pointers to a potential threat. An analagy. -A guy tells you seriously, that he wants to kill one of your neighbors. -The next day you see him entering a gun shop. Sure, maybe he went in there to get change, or maybe he just wants an air pistol for shooting crows. Maybe they refused to sell him a gun, or maybe he just bought a gun with no ammo so he could be threatening, but maybe he actually plans to follow through with what he said he wanted to do. |
