to get back to reality...Jul 22nd, 2008 - 01:40:35

in the mean time they have demonstrated that they can barely get the things out of their own back yard. This is just another example of the Bush/Cheney cabal bringing out another talking head to spout the paranoid party line. These monkeys have cried 'wolf' too many times. They are now a circus sideshow. Everybody who has a brain laughs at their antics.

'US intelligence'
That has got to be the greatest oxymoron of all time.

No that would be wiping Israel off the map... not wolf.

Firstly, your post lacks cohesiveness. Exactly what is your point?
Secondly, precisely what would be wrong with wiping Israel off the map?

Must be getting close to having bloggers register on this site. Must be getting close to having missiles reach all areas of the planet. Must be that threats manifest themselves in various ways.

Let Europe develop its own missile defense/defence. But they better build plenty, for some nation may be pointing its warheads right at them.

It is so clear few people in the US military command have a brain to use .So Iran can hit Europe with a missile .That is perhaps rnough to scare the neocons shitless,but fortunately not the rest of the world .So what ?Iran is about the power of Finland,both on economical and miltary basis .Furthermore even the US intelligence agencies found out there is no nuclear program directed to military use in Iran.Third and final argument ,except the US military and of course SP4 there are very few people thinking that Iran would be so stupid to launch a single missile or even a few to Europe .On what purpose,with what consequences ?the whole concept is mindboggling and can only originate in a neocon idiot's brain.Pathetic idiots these people are,completely void of any sense of realistic behaviour .These people are the real warmongers,not the powerless Iran with ,as I will repeat,the power of Finland .Can anybody except a neocon idiot sincerely think a strike from such power is possible ?I think not.Please leave Europe alone,...

The military as the enemy. Convenent for the libnazi culture of blame.

The libnazi manifesto says you should believe in your enemies but pillory your patriots. This sad, sick manifesto rots from within. We have seen it with that pathetic excuse Carter, enabling Chavez and lengthening the captivity of the Columbian hostages. The libnazi elite of America, enabling Castro as he keeps his people a slave nation. Clinton and his empty treaty with N. Korea that Bush the bucket boy has to clean up.

Iran, while a small nation, has an evil ruling cabal and loads of free cash. Are they a threat today? Perhaps not, but in the day and age we live in, who wants to ponder a nuclear Iran?

Our best example is N. Korea. Here is a nation, far poorer than Iran who suddenly has nuclear capability, if not a weapon, and it instantly changed the sit rep in the region. Kim now has a way to stay in power, endlessly bargaining for position, with his nuclear capability. Now visualize iran, far more motivated, with far more resources, and the oil hedge, plus their postion on the map, that stymies action by their adversaries. Do they have a military nuke program? Not until the minute they can fission material. Go play with your semantics, I'll take a common sense, West Point opinion any day of the week.

No thanks, Tonny. Like socialized health care, socialized defense just kills too many people. If the last 100 years in Europe has taught us anything, that would be it.

Insulting the US military again here I see.Jul 22nd, 2008 - 14:35:00



Let me tell the twad on the 1st page that the US military is very advanced and has no real equals, but let me say this statement.

You want to hear a REAL oxymoron Mr. Moron?

How about 'peaceful muslim' you surrender monkey?

You idiots always love to insult America, Christianity, and anything remotely modern and advanced.

Well, I just insulted islam and enjoy it.

PS The biggest lie told to the world in recent years is that 'islam is a religion of peace.?

It is more a religion of 'pieces' and it is proven everyday on the news.

'Iran, while a small nation, has an evil ruling cabal and loads of free cash.'
To rewrite it so it is factually correct: 'US has an evil ruling cabal and loads of free cash.'

A reasonable person must conclude that if steps A,B,C,D,E, and F are necessary to produce a misssile launched nuclear weapon by a state that is, plainly a terrorist enabler, it is better to interdict the process at A than F.

All this other potty-talk directed at SP is just that.

Let the Middle East have at it. Maybe they can blow up the area and it can be started fresh.

Now that we have heard from the SPdrugaddict fan club, we can get back to reality. It would be interesting to see if someone flushed the crap out of EssPee's head, if there is anything else in there. Like a coherent thought.
