      Railroaded? Didn't that fag get caught fabricating a document, or something like that?

        That's not what you said in 2003!

        Either way, I just posted it because there is a lot of conflicting information coming out now. Makes it very difficult for whoever is in charge to make the appropriate decisions. Big chance for error.

        Whats the better error?

        Be aggressive only to find they did not have weapons?

        Be passive only to find they do have and use the weapons?
        What if they have the weapons? If they have one nuke, Israel has about 300 more. Why would they "use" said weapon? They've had chemical weapons, and probably some biologicals, and yet somehow they haven't felt compelled to use them on Jews. Just on fellow (Sunni) Muslims during the Iran-Iraq War...

          He is in power, and we won't know for months as he isn't an impulsive dickhead like his predecessor...

          Anyways, a lot of people who are more knowledgeable than me have said that the first step should be to disallow any U.S. bank, financial institution, or company from doing business with Iran, including third party countries and companies. The theory is that the country is already on the verge of revolt, and that would push it over the edge if they couldn't sell their oil or hold their cash anywhere related to the U.S. And Russia/China isn't enough to support them alone.
          Um, this is pretty much already the case...

          I think that makes sense, but that's not what the oil people want.
          The oil people have virtually no access to the Iranian fields which currently languish and are underdeveloped - sort of why their economy is fucked and the reason they import refined gasoline...

            It's not currently the case at all. Look it up.

            You understand Iran is currently one of the top oil exporters, right?
