Is Bush ok?
« Reply #30 on: December 05, 2007, 04:51:28 PM »
Oh it's "plain," ok. Except on the point whether you're claiming:

1: There is a program and 135,000 troops in Iraq ain't enough to shut it down.

2: There's obviously not a program because the 135,000 troops in Iraq has intimidated Iran.

3: Invasion on suspician doesn't require proof. We don't need no steenkin' badges.

Which words am I supposed to avoid putting in your mouth? :D

What is going on here? :confused:

"The conclusions of the new assessment are likely to reshape the final year of the Bush administration, which has made halting Iran’s nuclear program a cornerstone of its foreign policy."

oh my, its that dumb little old Bushes fault, again.  

The only thing this story does is reaffirm my increasing distrust of our combined intelligence community.

In fact, when I first heard this story I thought of insider politics at work rather than meaningful national intelligence coming to meaningful conclusions.  

We shall see, as we always do.

Yeah, Bush is a dolt but so are the people that blame him for every perceived ill in government, bunch of losers.

Where have you answered you believe otherwise? I asked a question. Much like you did. You've not really put much effort in providing clarity. Why the defensiveness? ;)

I don't know what should be done with Iran.

You knew exactly what I was bringing up. You just wanted to start a pissin contest. You could have just stated you thought that wasn't the reason Iran shut it down.  But hey you like the dramatic.:aok

That you don't know? I was actually giving you more credit. I wasn't sure which way you were headed but I was convinced it was somewhere.

No pissin' contest, B. Just some questions you weren't ready for. I even toned it down just in case it distracted you more (unfortunately not in time - I get called away from the screen a lot). ;)

HHHMMM the assessment says the nuke weapon program was halted or frozen. It doesn't say it was dismantled or done away with. At the same time that this assessment comes out is confirmation that iraq is still refining uranium.

Does the assessment say how long it would take to develop a weapon using the already and continuing refined uranium if the program is unfrozen?

Any information as to whether or not they have been successful in obtaining a weapon from other sources?

I have to agree that until the facilities and uranium to make a weapon are gone, a threat of making one still exists. It's kind of like Chamberlains little paper and peace in our time. Problem is, how long is "our time" going to last?

If all of that doesn't sound eerily familiar and like the potential for making a mess worse without careful consideration and accurate data to you, then I'm still not seein' any practical justification for doing otherwise. The "threat" exists all over the world. The excuse only exists in specific locations. And the U.S. staying it's present course and habit is a fanatical terrorist's wet dream.

Arlo,

I realize you think you conveyed something there but you really didn't. If you have some point to make please make it clearly. I'm not going to waste time speculating on whatever thought you might have had at that time.
