Please point out what your post has to do with Iran?
Its not adifficult concept to understand that Iran is the topic of conversation, regardless of how many times you are going to cowardly attempt to shift discussion away from them.
Its simple.. you are incapable of defending Irans position, so you are desperately trying to shift the topic.. Typical and an old tired excuse used on this site.
Please, defend Iran and their quest for nuclear weapons.

Wow.... that says so much about your position and beleifs its not even funny. Its also where I stopped reading as it was yet another sign of your inability to discuss the issue, while trying to change the topic.

Ummmm...you and Hospitallers are the ones invoking Israel as a justification to suck the U.S. into yet another war. You guys brought up Israel...not me.
In regards to Iran's response to the IAEA...what's the problem? I just don't get it.
1. I am perfectly comfortable with a nuclear Iran. In fact, I think it may serve to even tone down our wanton policies of agression and destabilization in the middle east.
2. Why do we care that Iran is doing the exact same thing Israel did in 1969?
3. WHY DOES IRAN FEEL LIKE THEY NEED NUKES TO BE HEARD?? Is it perhaps a product of our 59-year and counting persistant attempts to keep Iran in chaos?
4. So...the "solution" to get Iran to back down on it's nuke program is to park a couple of nuclear capable carrier battle groups off their shore and destroy their economy with harsh sanctions? That's IDIOTIC.
History tells us that the most dangerous adversary in warfare or negotiations is ALWAYS the one who feels that they have nothing to lose. When backed into an inescapable corner, your adversary always has an EASIER time recruiting troops and gaining support at home...and the troops that do come out will almost ALWAYS fight harder and longer and more successfully.
Besides...as we know from Iraq #2 opening up for inspections and being in compliance doesn't mean a damn thing, right? Remember when UN inspector Hans Blix turned Iraq upside down and said they don't have any WMD's?? What good did cooperation do the Iraqi government or the couple of hundred thousand civilians we have killed there?
And if they refuse to comply...what? We bomb them and hope like hell that Russia and China don't side with them?
Bomb them so that we can be absolutely sure they launch that first nuke just as soon as it's ready? Let's face it...given how incompetent our intelligence agencies performed in locating WMD's and finding Bin Laden there really isn't anything to say that they don't already have 10 or 20 of them, right?
What if we go play cowboy and we find out the hard way that Iran has a couple of HUNDRED of Soviet surplus nukes? Remember....there are THOUSANDS of them that are "missing". Wouldn't that be cute...we start a full blown nuclear war to stop Iran from getting what they already have.
IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER IF IRAN IS IN EITHER IN OR OUT OF COMPLIANCE, IS THREATENING ISRAEL...OR IS THREATENING US FOR THAT MATTER. IDEALS ARE IRRELEVANT IF THEY CANNOT BE ACTUALIZED.
...but we are going to kill a couple hundred thousand Iranian civilians who "get in the way", disarm Iran...and that will be what makes them want Starbucks, rock music, and an NFL team?
That is INSANE.

The questions deal with Iran, not Israel or the US. No matter how much you and others are trying to shift the topic, its still the same - Iran.
Its evident you and others dont like the question by the number of desperate attempts to ignore it / attempt to shift focus.
The topic is Iran, not Israel or the US. Its calling into question the need for Irans nuclear program to expand into the weapons portion and their rationale for it, which is to say there is no rationale for Iran.edit on 5-3-2012 by Xcathdra because: (no reason given)

And it appears that other silly people think IRAN is spelled I-S-R-A-E-L, as often as they attempt to intrude it into the conversation. The issue does NOT go beyond Iran, since no one else is violating the NPT for them, They're doing that all of their own volition.

Such a weak response.. I see now why you wanted to obfuscate and disucss something else.
It doesnt remove the fact that Iran is not complying with their IAEA / NPT requirements, so again, Iran needs to be stopped. If they cant be truthful about what they are making, why should we beleive them when it comes to things like not sentencing the preacher to death because of his religion but because he was a "security" issue?
Or when they say they have no gays in their country? I assume its because they ahve killed them all without trial / due process.
Or how the Iranian government locked down on media outlets during this last election so they could better control the fraudulent outcome of their elections?
Iran needs to be stopped.... Especially before the "child" reaches the "knife" and begins to run around the middle east with it.

Darrrn, the News Media can't seem to leave off Isreal when speaking of Bombing Iran. I know that must have your Tammuz Tidy Whities in a real bind and you are having major problems delivering that Istar Easter Egg to hatch up some Satan plans. I know that has to be causing a real back up with that kind of blockage that you have and everyone in the media ignores you.
Relax, Obama will insure that Israel attacks Iran. Remember, you are not in charge. The US won't have to lift a finger, when this other sly gang has their own nukes. Then we get to play out Revelation with all those people from the North tired of the sly Ishtar gang. Your Ishtar Egg hatching will have to wait....

Romney: Iran will obtain a nuclear weapon if Obama is re-elected
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Sunday that if U.S. President Barack Obama is elected to a second term in the White House, Iran would surely become nuclear, AFP reported.
"It's pretty straightforward in my view. If Barack Obama is re-elected, Iran will have a nuclear weapon and the world will change if that's the case," AFP quoted Romney as saying to supporters in Atlanta, Georgia.

Israel 'not rushing into Iran war'Shimon Peres to tell Aipac conference what analysts also suggest is the case – that Israel is in no hurry to attack Iran

Isreal's Paranoia of how they did sly things to get some nukes will always pull them down. Outsmarting Albert Pike's games for WWIII is highly desirable. Leave the Christian elements to watch how fast Zionists convert.

Once again...
It was the Royal Order of the Hospitallers & Xcathdra that kept pounding Israel INTO the equation because "Iran is threatening Israel!!!" about 400 times until you both got a little history lesson and realized that Israel really is the biggest threat to stability in the Middle East.
It's all in the posts, guys. You can't run away from it just because the factual data doesn't support your opinion.
It's not a big deal guys....changing your opinion based upon new data is generally referred to as "learning". There really is no shame in it.
