How much is fact or fiction with these statements by the US government?

Question

(Based on concrete facts and irrefutable evidence.)

"Iran is secretly developing nuclear weapons and will have the bomb within 3 years." (2010.)

"Iran is supplying weapons to the insurgents in Iraq."

"Iran is supplying weapons to the Taliban in Afghanistan."

"Iran wants to bomb Israel off the map."

"Iran is a threat to the United States and the world."

Answer 1

Wait I thought we were supplying weapons to the insurgents. Its so hard to keep the lies straight.

After all the lies from the Bush Administration, I would need backing from God before I would believe a word Bush or any of his cronies said.

Answer 2

#1. FACT: There is no secret.
#2. FACT: Weapons have been found with Iranian markings.
#3. FACT: The Taliban is fighting the "great satin" so why wouldn't they?
#4. FACT: They have said they want to "push Israel back into the sea. Their words.
#5. FACT: Yes, but not as great a threat as US is to Iran. They are trying to make an A bomb. The US has 50,000 and can deliver them straight up their rectal cavity.

Answer 3

well... in order

1. first quote is an "estimate" by the same folks that said Iraq had WMD... so who knows... they seem to admit to doing something though... but the exact details are fuzzy

2. seems to be true to some degree... but no hard evidence that I am aware of... weapons often go through many hands in the middle east...

3. much like 2 probably and I've not heard this one yet?

4. the president said this... but he's merely a figure head for the Islamic mullah leaders... not sure what they want... but, I wouldn't think they would mind... if they could get away with it...

5. everyone is a threat to some degree... how much of a threat is the question and where should they be prioritized... probably in the top 10... not sure where though... depends on who you ask...

Answer 4

Iran is developing a nuclear weapon: I would have to go with fact. One simple reason, look at how we deal with North Korea and how we dealt with Iraq. Nuclear weapons equals power.

Iran is supplying insurgents in Iraq with weapons: Most definitely a fact. An American failure in Iraq is a victory for Iran. Iran does not want to get militarily involved, but will supply our enemies with weapons. They are only paying back the favor (we supplied Iraq with weapons during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980's).

Iran is supplying the Taliban with weapons: I don't think that there is any evidence to support this. They clearly are not doing anything to prevent the Taliban from crossing into Iran, but I don't believe they are outright supplying them.

Iran wants to bomb Israel: Fact, their leader has specifically said this.

Iran is a threat to the United States: Directly, no, indirectly yes. Iran does not have the military power to attack the United States; however, they could support, supply, or fund groups who wish to attack the United States or American interests overseas.

Iran is a threat to the rest of the world: Israel for sure (see the third question), everyone else I am not certain.

Answer 5

Pretty sure Iran just predicted the collapse and erasure of Israel. So that was an Iranian statement.

I'm pretty sure the other statements are pretty close except there is nothing secret about the nuclear weapons since we are talking about it.

Answer 6

a on a similar time as back whilst the Tsunami handed off off Indonesia and Sri Lanka have been given swamped alongside with a variety of of alternative places, Sky information placed out that the earth had replaced positions by 2 stages. when you consider that then no longer something on the information, however the Jet flow looks to have moved approx 4 hundred miles south and the climate everywhere is diverse. ought to this tilt be the reason and not worldwide warming.

Answer 7

I would believe that the Bush war machine is creating more propaganda to get America scared. Scared people will do anything or give up anything to feel safe and protected. He wants war with Iran and he is doing his best to get one started. I would not trust Bush if he told me it was sunny on a day in July. I would walk to the window and look out. He has no credibility left.

Answer 8

The first 4 are accurate, though I believe they have the "bomb" already. The last statement, I would say definitely the U.S., but not necessarily the world.

Answer 9

At this point, if George W Bush were to tell me directly the sky was blue, I would have to check it out myself before deciding to leave the umbrella at home.

He's lost whatever little crediblity he ever had with the "Nuculer" WMDs in Iraq. Now he has concrete evidence, just as Colin Powell said they had before the Invasion of Iraq.

He also said he wanted "Osama bin Laden, dead or alive." and, "We're gonna smoke him outa his hole", two things, which of course, have never happened.

The only President with Adult Attention Deficit Syndrome has completely let the man who masterminded the attacks on Sept 11, 2001 off the hook.

"Mr President, forget about Iran. WHERE IS OSAMA BIN LADEN? DID YOU PARDON HIM TOO?"

Answer 10

None of those, but then when has politics been based on concrete facts and irrefutable evidence? If the US government want a war badly enough then they'll manafacture a reason - Iraq is a case in point.

Answer 11

Probably all true. Iran is a whole bunch of trouble.
