Iran eyes badges for JewsLaw would require non-Muslim insign

and then pave all of iran.
or should we rely on the great UN to talk us to death?

....that Iran was and remains a much bigger problem than Iraq ever was.

Saddam was in no shape to carry out any of his threats, as both Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice acknowledged in 2001.

As for Iran, I would again oppose invading the country. It would only make things worse. Once you invade a country, you're responsible for that country's people and stability, possibly for a very long time as we're seeing now in Iraq.

There are other ways to deal with any threats from Iran that would not require us to occupy the country.

we could do all of it from the air

...we'd be almost as bad as they are.

We can still do it from the air if it comes to that. They're building nukes? If we know where they're building them, then we can deal with it if we have to. But military action of any kind has to be in response to a real and verifiable threat, not just a lot of big talk from the President of Iran.

But we have to have a lot more than ''Are you kidding? Of course that's what they're up to'' for evidence before acting.

These maniacs are TELLING us what they intend to do. WHEN they get the means to do so, they will. Iran is playing "hide and seek" a la Iraq, so, unfortunately there's only so much certainty we can have of any estimate of their capability.

Did you support the bombing of the Serbs? After all, Milosevic had no intentions of expansion, nor had he made public expressions re: genocide. All we had were a few reports of some mass graves, and bombs away!!! Those mass graves we were told about (countless in the Trepka mine, for example) were never found.

and you dont think hes not gonna use it?


and as to doing it from the air
you would be the 1st one screaming bloody murder over the death of inocents.
and beleave me i bet iseral has a very good idea where.

and us being as bad as them bs josh we could have wiped japan off the globe we used restraint

and capable of plenty more. Even Kerry wanted to go after him right after 9/11. You tend to ignore the plethora of information that already exists and the additional information still coming out.

Saddam's greatest threat was not what he would ever do "officially" -- although he did that daily shooting at our planes in the NFZ's -- it was always the threat of him giving the material to terrorists to do his bidding. If Bill Clinton were still in office I have no doubt you would see that.

Did he ever hit any of them?

I think the firings usually resulted in the destruction of the ground radar base.

The NFZ's were one of MANY stipulations in the cease fire agreement that Saddam routinely violated. If this ever happens again, the US should just forget trying to pandering to appeaseniks and enforce the ceasefire no questions asked.

TERMS OF CEASEFIRE.

The one who ceases firing does so by setting the terms to which the loser agrees. Too bad Bush 41 didn't rain all hellfire on Saddam in late 92 when he was already thumbing his nose at everyone.

....with the liberal way of thinking. Just because they were not able to hit one of our planes, that makes it OK? Then we should let Iran build the "bomb" as long as they haven't used it on another country? We should let 500+ kassams fired (since evacuation) from Gaza land in Israel just because it has not done real damage yet?
Then your ilk would be the first to complain, if something serious happens, as to why we did not prevent it.
You can't have it both ways. If you are serious about security, you have to do everything possible to prevent a real catastrophe.
Who was it that said "the best defense is a strong offense"?

and people like you just feed his kind
remember jp nasa heres and sees all your tripe

and a minor point, but rarely did they get a shot..especially not daily at our aircraft in the NFZ. What may have been close to daily is their turning on their radar to arm missles, but F4-Phantoms of the old Vietnam era, would then lock on to the radar and fire a air to surface anti-radiation AGM-88 HARM missle (cost $284,000 ea). It became so that when they were ordered to turn on the radar, they fled out of the bunker knowing what would happen.

Saddam's attempted actions against coalition forces patrolling the NFZ are well document and ALL in violation of the cease fire agreement from Gulf War I.

Bush 41's biggest mistake was not taking out Saddam when he was violating already in '92. Bush 43's biggest was listening to those that told him to go through the UN -- an exercise in futility if ever there was one.

the Baath Party in Syria and Iraq was pretty much set up by the Nazis in WW II.

Anyone who thinks Iraq was no threat is just fooling himself. The whole "Iran is the bigger threat" ignores many facts including the fact that Saddam was in violation of the terms of the first Gulf War. The invasion was long overdue and more than justified.

would been gone if we left iseral alone

peace loving Americans that want to make Iran a parking lot?

about jp instaed of you snide remarks try to tell us what you would do?

For starters

Don't give weapons to the enemies of Iran (Pakistan, India).

Since US gives weapons to them, of course Iran is going to want to arm themselves, wouldn't the US do the same thing, if Rusia started to move arms into Cuba?

And, I know the US has enough weaponsa but it would raise the tensions.

It is very naive to think that if we don't sell arms to Pakistan, India, etc. that other countries (China, Russia) won't fill the void.
