Is it about protection?

They made fissile material, but after that they have to make technology to make uranium or plutonium to explode in a nuclear reaction.
This is known as weaponization.

So far there has been no evidence of weaponization.

So what's the big deal?

He is not building nuclear weapons for petes sake....erm dont you think he would have been put to shame if so....(sarcastic).
He is feeding the world with the fear he has been asked to show.
Israel is feeling the end....Their beliefs are falling to pieces.
Mark my words..After all the scheming Israel and Mossad have been upto invoved in 911 and 7/7 and Madrid....They have become the biggest laughable patsys of all time...and they know it.
This is why Pakistan is a new throw in name....This is the true endgame

Dem's fightin' words. Umm, well, they could nuke you. They could ask for as many bunker busters, daisy cutters, and MOABs from the USA as is need to bring Iran back to neolithic days. If your job is to be a loudmouthed moronic provocateur, well, job well done Ahmie.

building nuclear weapons, then he definitely needs to be controlled. Pretty bold either way...

America never stops using radiative bombs and are the only ones on earth to blow up cities with a bombs. So who is the danger here?

Iran has had a long history, and what makes the op think they cannot be left to there own doing what they are doing. Oh yep we need to watch them while they do nothing and america is blowing up weddings. Handy to be the biggest bully on earth.

believe or not Iran has had he material to build nuclear weapons for 30 years - and supplied by the USA , and yet they haven`t done.

the operational nuclear reactor in Tehran , until 1993 ran on 98% pure weapons grade uranium.


can`t see any bombs can you?

they also have drums of plutonium - still sealed since teh 1980`s.


North Korea , as soon as they could got there hands on plutonium and made a bomb or 5 - Iran has the stuff sitting there and hasn`t touched it.

Did he actually say 'Damn'? Forgive me if I'm skeptical it's just that the MSM spun the whole 'Wipe Israel off the map' thing into hyperbole not too long ago...

Is there a copy of the original transcript or something?

What many of you forget is that he doesn't say anything with out the express approval of the ruling mullahs. They, not him, are in charge...

He can say whatever the hell he wants, and it's essentially meaningless... What are the mullahs saying?

Then let's have a conversation.

I tell you it makes on wonder where the 30,000 extra troops will be stationed in Afghanistan and if it will be close to the Iranian border.

All this political theatre we are being treated to on both sides of the aisle is bound to culminate in something big, bad and ugly sooner or later.

The question is why since the Iranian nation has been a peaceful one that's erradicated much of the poverty and disparity that was the hallmark of the pro-Western Shah's despotic regime.

I would feel less troubled by all this political theatre if it weren't for Ahmadinejad, greeting CNN's Larry King with a Master Mason's hand shake.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud last night when Obama said in his speech "America doesn't seek domination through empire, that is not our way".

Perhaps he is telling the truth since America itself doesn't benefit from all this warmongering just the Oil Companies, Military Industrial Complex and Banks do. Sadly as the bailouts and wars have demonstrated it is the Banks, Oil Companies and Military Industrial Complex that rules and controls America.

I honestly feel that there is a vast conspiracy to start a Third World War the likes of which we have never seen or imagined and that all the leaders including Ahmadinejad, Obama and Netanyahu are all working together to stage the pretext for it.

I remain deeply concerned regarding these events and under no circumstances favor an additional war with Iran.

To many lies and subterfuges are coming out of all of our governments in my humble opinion for the people to risk believing a word of it from any quarter.

Why don't you get a good accurate history book AND READ IT. Not one of those liberalist revisionist books that they use in schools now. By dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and making the Emporer of Japan realize defeat, millions of lives were saved. Most of them Japanese. Read about the Tokyo firestorms and the number of people killed in them and then tell me the atom bombs were so bad.
