Iranian Pre-emptive strike?

Recommended Posts

OK. Boortz was talking about this in his daily diatribe, but I can't find it on either CNN or Fox. Think what you like about Boortz' political views - the man doesn't make stuff like that up.

Anybody got a source or hear anything about this?

I thought the pre-emptive strike was the Iranians supplying the bad intel? Thereby manipulating old enemies against each other....

Beer time soon, fancy a margherita?

Man, my Patron stash is loooong gone >, all I have to replace it is the petrol known as Cuervo.
Hence the Margherita to disguise the low quality Tequila available to me.
Gawd, I miss Texas.

I tick the box saying none of the above.
Cuervo/Cuervo Gold(oxymoron) or washing up liquid is all I get.

There is solace to be found in a 16 year old malt mind you.:)No shortage of that here, its just that sometimes I long for something more exotic.:)

Dave, I shit you not sir, when I got back from H-town, a fellow connoisseur and myself went in search of a decent Margherita here in Aberdeen.
We were subjected to all sorts of concoctions, but by far the worst was a glass of gin and lime with the glass dipped in icing sugar.
I tell you brother, some things here in the UK just ain't right. Certain bar staff do know the meaning of the term "Ass Hat" now though.

Have a good weekend y'all, its time for a cool beer here, shame its not a Shiner.

Holy shit!

Well, maybe you can get it shipped to you from Spain or something.

Or you can just come back to Texas for a couple of weeks and have a tour of TX DZs...getting drunk and having fun.B|

Definitely disturbing. We opened the door for this with the whole pre-emptive strike to protect ourselves against a potential threat. Now they're claiming the same right.



A country has the right to defend itself. This is the same excuse we used. This will be the Bush legacy - he has further destablized an already unstable region.

Thanks for the link Bo!

Very interesting. Threaten Israel. Using the word 'hostage' with regards to the US. This could produce a very fugly situation. I would hope Khatami would know better than to launch pre-emptive strikes at US forces.

Why should he? The U.S has been sending two messages to the world
1.- You are with us or against us
2.- No matter what you choose, if we want to, we will bomb your country, rape your citizens and kill your leaders.

I can see why Iran may be a bit uneasy. See, if Bush had used a bit more diplomacy in his business he wouldn´t be getting now this knee-jerk reaction. But, had he used a bit of diplomacy we wouldm´t be in this situation to begin with, right?

Unfortunately Khatami is not the one who will make that decision Khomanie is. He is the supreme leader and can make or veto any decision.
I hope it does not come to that, but I can see where the Iranian government is coming from.

Khatami seems the more sensible of the two, that's for sure. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the majority of Iranians more Khatami-minded than Khomeni-minded?

The Iranian pursuit of nuclear power has been affected very little by U.S. actions in Iraq.



Gee, I seem to remember many of your counterparts, not sure if you did or not, proclaiming how great the invasion of Iraq was because it convinced Iran to stop seeking nuclear weapons.

As a matter of fact, it does makes me feel a bit better. My opinion was much diferent before the Irak war, but now i do think that it is necesary a bit of balance.
If a nuke is a deterrent for you to invade Iran in the name of oil, bush, god, whatever, then i think it is not bad.
I don´t trust Iran with a nuke but i don´t trust the US either. If i remember correctly Bush wanted to use small nukes to destroy underground bunkers.
If the U.S does to Iran what it has done to Irak, you are going to see for first time in ¿history? all the muslim in the world united against the U.S and the western world, and Pakistan DOES have nukes.
There is a saying: "You can only punch in the face a coward so many time before he strikes back". I think you are about to reach the limit with the middle east so it would be nice that you stop while on time.
By the way, i am not saying that Arabs are cowards, it is only how the saying goes.
