Ok so why build a missile if they don't want nuclear weapons to put on them? They're working on one that will be able to reach the United States I believe. Fearless leader still clings to the idea that we don't have any right to deny them the right to use nukes and that he, the messiah, can talk them into acting nice.

Probably for the same reason that we have plenty of missiles without nuclear warheads on them: enhancing their military capability. We have fired more cruise missiles than anyone else, and none of them were armed with a nuclear warhead.

You are right. Iran only wants nukes for party decorations...

Time traveling Delorians, is all.

For any of you that believe that Iran only wants nuclear capability for power generation and peaceful purposes, then I guess you probably believe those emails that come from somebody in Africa wanting to send you millions of dollars are real. I have a nice bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell you and a great property in a certain southwestern state that has a great view of the ocean.

My question is, how are the democrats going to weasel out of being responsible and somehow pin the blame it on republicans once Iran builds a nuke and uses it?

Weegs.....the same way they always do.

So we blame Reagan if Pakistan ever uses one of their Nuclear Weapons?

If Iran goes almost 30 years with nukes without using them, Ill withdraw my criticism of this administration and its dealings with Iran.

Everything Iran is doing right now is reaching out and slapping the United States and Western Europe in the face and daring them to actually do anything to stop them. They have stated their intentions with their actions and they know that nobody has the will to actually do anything about it. We've drawn all kinds of red lines and everything else but we've never backed any of it up with concrete action. If you were Iran would you be afraid of these people?

[Proud Tiger 4,261]

I guess we could blame it all on that old Democrat Harry Truman. A lot of people do, particularly today's leftists.

As a matter of interest pertinent to today's situation in Iran, read this brief history of North Korea's nuclear capability beginning with an agreement in Dec.91 NOT to develop a nuke. Start at the bottom (1991) and read as time passes. Note in particular the uncertainty among top U.S. intelligence officials as time goes on.

Those who say we aren't doing anything are nothing more than chicken hawk fear mongers.

Some people's ship stayed in the fog to long.

Sure it has. I wrote my Thesis on the Ballistic Missile Defense, European Phased Adaptive Approach so yeah, I know we are doing something. http://www.mda.mil/global/documents/pdf/aegis_ashore.pdf

Iran will get a nuclear weapon and there is nothing the US or Isreal can do about it. That ship has already sailed.

Rest assured. Israel WILL do "something about it"...

It's not too late yet. This current administration has no interest stopping it though. For the next two years it's full steam ahead for the Iranians along with all the other tyrants of the world.
