Target Iran: US able to strike in the spring

Despite denials, Pentagon plans for possible attack on nuclear sites
are well advanced

Hey nomorewar.....what are you doing to prevent Iran from
buildings nukes? It seems to me you want Iran to go nuclear....

Do you really believe Iran has peaceful intentions? We all lose
if the mid-east goes nuclear....


It just postpones the inevitable. Think of it like this: if a country,
under proper guidance, develops nuclear power (and weaponry) they have
a strong infrastructure, education and scientific community to handle
it. Compare this with a country importing weapons from somewhere else
out of desperation. Which do you think is going to make a "mistake"
first? The developed nations cannot forever pretend that they are the
arbiters for the rest of the world, even if some in their populations
believe this.

You make that sound like a *bad* thing...



Are you saying that the guaranteed nuclear counter response and
resulting regional death, destruction, and nuclear fallout around the
world are good things?


Guaranteed nuclear response is what kept the cold war from becoming
too hot in the developed nations for half a century. The wars went on
in other countries with all manner of other weapons, with resulting
death and injuiries by the tens of millions. I don't think you're
making a good point in isolating "nuclear" from "non-nuclear"
here. The fact that developed countries might suffer if many nations
obtain deliverable powerful weapons is about the only thing that
worries them. IMHO its a good thing, since it will bring out statemen
with wider vision, and force all nations to make greater efforts to
cooperate, and not merely divide the world into something along the
lines of the G8 and all the others.

Cite where Israel has nukes, or has ever threatened anyone with nukes.
A nuclear Iran will not create balance...

army after all.
If the US attack Iron ,Iron might use the missle attack the base or
the carrier of United States.
I don`t think Americans like to see this situation


If they are going to attack a CV, they gotta find it first..no assets
I know of to do that.

Iran has lots of people in uniform.
Not a particulary effective army though.

Iran gets most of if not all of her refined petrolium from the other
Gulf countries.
If she attacks them they turn off the fuel.

I don`t think Americans like to see this situation


No wants Iran to be stupid and end up destroyed, except her leaders...

Not true according to this site:

http://www.gasandoil.com/goc/news/ntm40816.htm

Iran seems to be a net exporter of kerosene, but a significant importer
of gasoline.

This somewhat dated website says that Iran produces about 1/2 its daily
needs for gasoline:

Um... how will Iran recover if there is a nuclear counter strike? They
don't just "repopulate" like a MUD computer game. You are talking
about millions of deaths here.

And that, of course, would be a *good* *thing*

Can she sustain her economy on just kerosene though ?

A study I read authored last summer by Mr Cordesman was the basis of my
claim.
I would assume his data was up to date.

Iran is a big country. They can withstand a strike much more robustly
than can Little****tystan, which will be destroyed by non-nuke WMD

And that, of course, would be a *good* *thing*


Only if you are a keyboard commando who gets off on the idea of
nuclear holocausts, with zero empathy for anyone who would be caught
in one, or ability to comprehend that the fighting and/or radiation

Then if you are such an advocate of peace, support the removal of the
dangerous and militaristic Bushler Cabal who hold the levers of power.

Touch Persia, death to IsReeL

Peace = survival

Choose wisely
