Under the radar, occasionally they let some news slip in. I just have to look a lot harder. But it's a small price to pay if I can get Republicans to think. :)

Michael, I'm being careful with him. Not writing him off, but he has a long way to go before I'll be willing to support him. A long way.

Answer 1

Saddam was the buffer for Iran,now that hes gone Iran will try to flex its muscle.i think America better wake up and realize that it cant tell the world what to do any more.

Answer 2

The US has after Bush 1 had terrorable gamesmanship. I'm not too sure if Bush 1 had good gamesmanship. Both Bushes won their wars only Bush 2 took it a step further & didn't win the pease.

Israel will most likely have to take out the nuclear capability. Hopefully they will do it as a black bag opperation.

Thank Carter for IRAN.

Answer 3

Iran used to have Diplomatic relations with the U.S. using the Swiss as a go-between. In 2003--upon HELPING our interests in Afghanistan--they made another request through the Swiss to further solidify comprehensive negotiations with the U.S. and it never made it out of the State Department, but suspicions are that is stopped at Cheney's desk.

As far as who is to blame--you simply need to look at Who was in Charge at the time of the offer.

The last time Bush ignored an invite to diplomatic negotiation the country was enabled to develop a nuclear weapon resulting in a flip flop of policy and another giveaway to a Dictator led nation--Go Figure.

Answer 4

At last I agree with what Obama has said. I am not a Democrat or a Republican so I wouldn't vote for either Hillary, Obama or McCain but I would vote for Giuliani because I believe he is the best of the present group running for president. I would change my vote if I thought that someone better than Giuliani entered the race.

Answer 5

I agree with his statement, however he has refused to say what means he would be willing to use to stop them.

This is a common way for politicians to have a "way out" of following though. I believe that unfortunately he is using this issue as a way of appearing tough on the Iranians, and then fail to act, by hiding behind repeated UN resolutions, with no action.

I hope that I'm wrong about this but if elected, I honestly think its what he'll do.

Answer 6

Iran is a threat... but so is the bubonic plague... so is monkey pox... so is North Korea... so are asteroids...

I mean... you have to prioritize your threats and focus on those that are greatest first... I'm not so sure I would agree with him on his priorities...

but Iran clearly is helped now that Saddam is out of power... Saddam was their arch enemy, and we took them out... and the current elected leader has already made many moves that are MUCH more friendly toward Iran than Saddam ever dreamed of making... it's about religion and Saddam and Iran were on opposite sides of the religious islamic specrum... but now the leadership is on the same side of iran

Answer 7

Obama is sucking up to the big boys. He is the original wolf in sheeps clothing, making fun of us all in his appeal. As he courts the Christian Right, and the corporate line, he somehow manages to appeal to the young at the same time calling for change. Watch out for this one. He looks dark to me behind that nice front.
More than half the people in Iran are under 30 and love what the US used to stand for before Bush. Why should we be beating the anti Iran drums against people like that? This is Bush's line updated for 2008! More bad people for us to be frightened of.

Answer 8

What a double talking ***! Any moron knows an American friendly government in Iraq means Iran becomes more insignificant! How can you say Iran must be stopped and you don't even support our efforts in Iraq?! Stopping Iran militarily would cost way more lives. Before OR after Saddam. He's trying to have it both ways like every democrat.

Answer 9

Yes, he is. Naturally, though, it's Bush's fault. Before Bush and the Iraq war, Iran was a gentle, peace-loving country who loved the world.

Answer 10

Iran and Venezuala are combing forces to create a central bank that will trade their oil on the Euro standard.

Currently all countries need to hold on to some U.S. debt to trade oil. They will not for much longer as the Euro continues to gain power. China has already stated it will dump a trillion of U.S. debt into Euros. Opec stated it will cut off oil to China if it devastates the U.S dollar intentionally. OPEC is the largest holder of U.S debt and it wants to convert its debt holdings first but is protecting the interests of the U.S. from China. That leaves them with the ability to blackmail the U.S. into giving up its protection of Israel. If the United States does this, it will be finished. All of our blessing comes from our protection of Israel which is by God's promise of blessing those who bless, and cursing those who curse Israel.

The United States attacked Iraq because Suddam Hussein did the conversion to Euro and it had to be stopped.

We are creating a safe place for Israel in Iraq to retreat to when its enemies attack. It is no secret to them that when Iran has the bomb they are going to use it immediatly. It has the choice of fighting a regional fight now, or fighting a regional nuclear fight later. Iran knows that if it launches war, millions of muslims will die, but Israel will be destroyed which it what it is willing to accept.

I don't believe America will launch war against Iran. Russia has stated that if we launch war they will convert into Euro overnight. If Saudi Arabia follows, who hold 7% of the U.S. in their hands, Iran, Venezuala, etc... The U.S. economy will collapse having no value to back it up such as gold. In order to preserve its place in the world, the U.S will be forced to transfer its economy into the Euro. Which will turn it into the world largest superpower. A revival of the old Roman Empire, which will shatter all currencies into one. That will make way for the United States of the World. At which time, a global leader will arise and make war against Jews and Christians world wide.

I don't believe the U.S will launch war against Iran. However, I fell that Israel will. They cannot sit and wait to be bombed.

All of this has been fully predicted in the Bible. Currently the entire world is a threat to us, So yes, Obama is right.

Answer 11

I do agree that Iran is a ominous threat to every one but
I disagree that it is President Bush's fault!
Just another Blame Bush tactic from the left!
