Republican Senators send a letter to Iran. Wow. Damn!

[Brain357]

Does any one else wonder why Reagan and company were sooooo damn trusting of the Iranians during the Iran-Contra scandal??

Just asking........

That is something to think about...

 

[Brain357]

We need a leader who has some balls and isn't afraid to stand up to the insane faction in our world instead of trying to appease them.

Is that what bush was? Maybe you didn't notice, but that made things worse.

ChL10956002 Your concern that Obama is making a mistake has just become absolutely irrelevant. The five permanent members on the UNSC have just stepped up:


Major Nations Hold Talks On Ending U.N. Sanctions On Iran Officials

Your stepped up US Senators are the laughing stock of the entire world now,

Their pissy-assed Teapublican stunt just fully backfired.

The US Senate has no jurisdiction over France Russia China and the UK. Plus Germany is involved in the talks.

The UNSC will surely act if the spectre of a GOP Presidential win in 2016 looms on the horizon. Only the President can issue a veto of UNSC Resolutions.

Like I have said, the world will act without us. These senators just lowered our standing in the world.

Nope, they haven't. A lot of people are glad they spoke out against this ridiculousness.

Poll I saw said they are a minority.

Post it. Of course, you are untrustworthy.

Only 28% support it. I expect that to keep dropping.
Poll Americans Think GOP s Iran Letter Was Inappropriate

Why don't you post the entire thing? Now, this says nothing about how Americans feel about Iran becoming nuclear.

Nearly 60 percent of Americans have heard at least something about the open letter, and 42 percent say it was inappropriate, while 28 percent find it appropriate and the remainder aren't sure -- a divide similar to views on the invitation for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to Congress, which 47 percent of Americans said was inappropriate.

No, HERE is something to think about . . .

Along with setting off a mad race to attain nuclear weapons that would involve Saudi Arabia, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that a nuclear Iran would arm terrorists that would strike at the United States.

This brings to mind the recent Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador in Washington, DC. The plan called for setting off weapons of mass destruction.

While there is disagreement on what should or shoudn't be done there is general agreement that Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapons program.

Which raises the question, How would the world change if Iran goes nuclear?

As stated above, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and other oil rich states have said they would do whatever they needed to do to acquire nuclear weapons. Imagine, multiple nations becoming nuclear powers overnight. As Secretary Hague said, the proliferation of nations with nuclear weapons would unsettle the world order. It would increase the likelihood of nuclear weapons being used, stolen, and falling into hands of terrorists.

Can Iran be stopped from attaining nuclear weapons?

.

"And, thinking about Iran: As you may know, the United States is currently in negotiations with Iran that would limit, for at least ten years, Iran's ability to produce nuclear material. The deal would not end Iran's nuclear program, but would delay Iran's ability to produce enough materials to make nuclear weapons. In return, the United States and other Western nations would ease economic sanctions that have been imposed on Iran, and would eventually allow Iran to use nuclear power for other purposes, like energy. Do you think that this agreement will make a real difference or will not make a real difference in preventing Iran from producing nuclear weapons?"
