Re: Pakistan or Iran Next?
"Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it. The guy who was quoted opined that it was difficult to determine. He noted that in many cases, the payoff might not take the form of votes on legislative action -- those might be detectable, and so are avoided -- but could take subtler forms, like the question that is never asked at a hearing.
The media's doing a terrific job of not asking questions it doesn't want to know the answer to. It doesn't ask these questions in bulk, and the great volume of questions it doesn't ask makes it cheap to not ask questions.
And it passes these savings on to you, the customer." Ace

Re: Pakistan or Iran Next?
You are extreme. You're an extreme rightist, and a very dumb one to boot. I not only found this out by the way you throw insults around, but your understanding of issues like the housing crisis. People like you can't be reasoned with even with the facts thrown in your face. The thing that makes you so hazardous is not just your extreme views, but that you don't think for your self, you just parrot what others say.

Re: Pakistan or Iran Next?
Tossing a bunch of acronyms around doesn't make you qualified enough to judge my understanding of the housing crisis. Particularly when you were too chicken to even finish the discussion.

What "facts"? Facts like Ahmadinejad outright saying he'd destroy Israel and is willing to sacrifice half of Iran's population to do it being "neocon propaganda"? Your quoting the IAEA and gibbs saying two different things and claiming they're now walking in lockstep as a result?People like you can't be reasoned with even with the facts thrown in your face.
seanD, ladies and gentlemen, SPLITTING ATOMS WITH HIS MIND!
Weren't you mindlessly parroting some Russian general a few posts ago? All you do is selectively trust a handful of nutjobs and only trust them because they help feed your paranoia, not because they're genuinely trustworthy.The thing that makes you so hazardous is not just your extreme views, but that you don't think for your self, you just parrot what others say.Last edited by Darth Executor; March 2nd 2010 at 03:00 PM.

Re: Pakistan or Iran Next?
People can see how completely ignorant (or an ignoramus) you are about the housing crisis, yet how you fight to the death to protect your reactionary opinions regardless of how ignorant you are of the subject -- and they can see just who was too chicken to finish the discussion... http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...d.php?t=136728
"and is willing to sacrifice half of Iran's population to do it?" He said that?
And I said that the IAEA claims that Iran is in position to enrich uranium to nuclear weapon capability, whereas two weeks prior the US denied Iran's claims of enrichment. Now the US and the IAEA are in agreement with the saber rattling... http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...OT6-wD9E5B60G1
The fact that they are in agreement against Iran is obvious, but I wanted to point out the inconsistencies in their denouncements of Iran.
And where did I indicate in that post that I trust what Nikolai Makarov is saying?I"m just reporting the events that are taking shape around this issue.

Re: Pakistan or Iran Next?
Yes, I too encourage people to go to that thread where it is plain to see that seanD is too stupid to even figure out what the exact topic is (the moron thinks that my explanation of why financial institutions' collapse would affect everybody in a hypothetical scenario is my explanation for the current collapse
)
Apparently he did, but the original article seems to have disappeared so I'll drop it. He did say he wants to destroy Israel though, which is good enough for me."and is willing to sacrifice half of Iran's population to do it?" He said that?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...080300629.html
Another point I should make is that Iran is becoming increasingly unstable, so if a revolution starts and the mullahs appear to be losing, their having nuclear weapons would be a disaster not just for foreign countries but possibly for Iranians themselves as desperation could drive them to nuke their own population in a last ditch effort to subdue them.
But no worries, dictator brown nosers like seanD and Augustine assure us Iran just wants to use nukes as a deterrent to protect them from those evil americans and israelis.
I actually read the articles you linked this time and your description of them is inaccurate. the US denied that Iran has enriched uranium to the levels Iran is claiming. I don't see anything about the IAEA confirming the precision of Iran's claims. And btw, that's not "saber rattling", it's "pointing out the obvious". Saber rattling would be saying something like "we're gonna turn Iran into a sheet of glass"And I said that the IAEA claims that Iran is in position to enrich uranium to nuclear weapon capability, whereas two weeks prior the US denied Iran's claims of enrichment. Now the US and the IAEA are in agreement with the saber rattling... http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...OT6-wD9E5B60G1
The fact that they are in agreement against Iran is obvious, but I wanted to point out the inconsistencies in their denouncements of Iran.
Even if there had been an inconsistency, Gibbs is an idiot and has contradicted the Obama administration before so this wouldn't be anything new.
Because you are quoting him in support of your position. And don't feed me the "i don't necessarily agree with him, I'm just sayin'" crap. That's a cowardly way of doing things. If you want to use him as a source, be a man about it.And where did I indicate in that post that I trust what Nikolai Makarov is saying?"Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it.

Not sure why you can't list your posts yourself, but here you go:
http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/se...archid=2524311
And what does that have to do with me projecting? You said that my accusation of you being a crazy conspiracy theorist is "projection" which implies I'm the crazy conspiracy theorist and deflecting that onto you. I'm gonna ask again: which conspiracy theories do you see me supporting?Last edited by Darth Executor; March 2nd 2010 at 04:00 PM.

Re: Pakistan or Iran Next?
You just read the article? That's one of your many problems, Darth. Not only are you not that bright and a very insulting individual, but like most extreme reactionaries, you react on impulse and emotion, merely parroting things that have been fed to you by the likes of the Limbaughs and such, before even looking at the facts.
If it takes 80% grade to make a bomb, I don't think Amano denies Iran's claims that they have upgraded to 20%.
And there's a difference whether I agree with someone or trust someone. I don't necessary trust Nikolai Makarov's claims because I don't know (though I don't know what would make him claim something like that, especially throw out Mullen's name, if it were true). I do agree that we will attack Iran, because it's looking more and more like the case. But I can't post something that someone claims, whether I trust it or not?
