#1 "No country should sell weapons to a regime like that."

Are they a slow pay?

#4 we'll need to expose the air defense for the same level of crap as the GPS jammers in Iraq. Not good for future sales, Ivan

#5 Typical Ruskie commie double-speak:

"Russia would remain strictly neutral in the event of US military action against Iran" BUT "Moscow would go ahead with the planned sale of an advanced air-defence system to Tehran"

#6 This gives me a horrid thought. If the Israelis wanted to wipe out a huge number of Iranian nuclear scientists at one or more of their critical facilities, with the idea of depriving Iran of the talent to make its nukes, there is a highly effective way of doing so.

Chemical and biological-toxin weapons.

I would recommend using a device about the size of a 1 quart can. It would contain a terribly lethal toxin or chemical, a very quiet atomizer, a battery to power the atomizer, and a timer. It could be concealed in anything, and would be totally inconspicuous.

If the toxin or chemical took a week or two before onset of symptoms, and was otherwise untreatable, the air in the facility, and the facility itself, would be so polluted that it would have to be abandoned.

That is, after everyone who had been inside the facility over a one-week period had died.

A dozen such weapons placed in a dozen different facilities could kill hundreds of their top nuclear scientists, and even more important, make every major nuclear production facility useless.

#8 I just heard Iran was given a seat on the UN Nuclear weapons poliferation committee. Has the UN lost its last shred of crediability.

#12 History will show the UN a joke and the US a fool for funding it. Time to turn it into a humanitarian organization and send them to feed the hungry.

#15 Will say again GWOT > various rogue crises and Radical Islam, etal. are diversionary, albeit bloody, PC sideshows for the real battlefield that is in Washington DC and the NPE, i.e. vv "CREEPING/GRADUAL SOCIALISM-COMMUNISM". All sodes know that places like Iran and North Korea and Taiwan, etc. are geopol "lines of demarcation" = lines in sand = "Neutral Zones" where EAST-WEST, SOCIALIST-CAPITALIST confrontations are highest - IS PARTLY WHY MADMOUD AND KIMMIE ARE BEING SO WILFULLY REGIONALLY NOW GLOBALLY BELLIGERENT. VV Nukes and Empire > the Radicals + Anarchists, etc want the superior Western/First World democracies to unilaterally and unconditionally acknowledge and justify their failed and failing ideos - iff not, they're gonna wilfully break something i.e. take everybody with them to hell, darkness and chaos. Unless something changes, Americans are looking at minima REGIONAL IRAN-CENTRIC EMPIRE OR NEAR-PSEUDO-EMPIRE within the lifetimes of the present adult generations - in EAST ASIA-PACRIM, whom here doubts that any surreal REGIONAL? "NORTH KOREAN EMPIRE" is in reality a disguised/shadow CHICOM EMPIRE. Are Americans willing to risk short-term war, including potential LIMITED NUKE WAR, in exchange for superficial, i.e. fake, longer-term "peace". ONCE IRAN GETS ITS NUKES, ANDOR THE USA FAILS TO STOP OR PREVENT CHINA FROM FORCIBLY TAKING OVER TAIWAN, FAKE PEACE IS DE FACTO ALL AMERICANS WILL HAVE LEFT CUZ INEVITABLY IT'LL BE OUR TURN SOON ENOUGH TO TO BE CONQUERED OR DESTROYED. Remember, the Rogues job between now and 2015-2020 is too support domestic American Anti-American efforts towards the PC destabilization and fractionalism of Fascist SOCIALIST America vv making things so-o-o expensive for Washington as to induce = force the US Fed to expand and unilaterally take over everything and anything domestically, in the name of personal, local and national safety, security, accountability, fairness and protection in wartime = peacetime. The DemoLeft > has no probs with FASCIST ALL-POWERFUL HYPERPOWER AMERICA WARS AROUND THE GLOBE vv 9-11 and 3000 dead as long as a COMMUNIST, WEAK, AMERIKAN SOVIETIZED/
STALINIZED, GLOBAL SOCIALIST STATE REPUBLIC UNDER OWG AND SWO-CWO IS THE FINAL OUTCOME "Fascist" Amerika > just the Clinton's and Left's way of saying AMERICA IS A [SSSSHHHHHH, DE FACTO]
SOCIALIST = PRE-/PSEUDO-COMMUNIST NATION - God help us all, the Lefties and Commies in Socialist, Motherless Rightist Amerika don't know how to stop their Leftism and Communism!? Rest assured its your fault,, as everything always is, that you didn't understand what they really truly unequivocally undeniably honestly meant when they lied to you.
