Iran, Conversation Anyone?

BUSH: Nuke-less Iran remains dangerous

Some Comments Posted today from this article:

I am far from a liberal and to be honest I did vote for Bush in the last election, but with yet another embarrassing defeat of our intelligence I can't helped but feel ashamed. This is the second time people that we have allowed ourselves to washed in lies from our government regarding foreign nations and their weapons capabilities. I do not feel as though we should totally discredit Iran as a threat, but I also cannot stand for us ruining our world imagine by sticking our foot in our mouth yet again. We look like complete jackasses over the past 5 years, we have declared victory in Iraq after one week and are still there, sworn now that not one but two countries had nukes, and have tarnished Americans great reputation of being a fair and intelligent government. I just hope that the liberal and conservative bashing can stop long enough for us to examine our problems and repair this country, because we need some serious transformations in foreign policy, economy, and homeland security.

Oh yeah, the US should still invade Iran. They may not have nukes, but I heard there's this one guy in their military that can throw rocks really far. If he stands on a hill, look out. Probably can get pretty close to Israel from what I hear. Beware the rock throwing Iranians! I hear they bite too!

"What the president said makes good sense to me. Iran is developing weapons grade materials that could be used in a nuclear bomb. They have sworn to eradicate Israel and do whatever they can to wipe out the US and other Christian countries. Ironically, Iran is also a threat to its Arab neighbors in the middle east. We shouldn't stick our heads in the sand because of our political positions. We need to work together to see that Iran does not get a bomb or the means to deliver it."

"Hmmm... I'm no Constitutional scholar but... isn't there a provision in our Constitution regarding not being able to force a President to turn over office during a time of war? So, what happens if Bush manages to get an official war declaration before his term ends and then manages to prolong it indefinitely? Wouldn't the only means of removing him be a vote of impeachment? Just considering the possibility that this may be a hidden (Or not so hidden) agenda..."

This is also another good article to read:
