Oh sure let’s drop everything and go after him, after all he mocks America – Gee if Cheney/Bush were still in power they would take care of him, remember how they scared him so badly they he stopped working on nukes.
Well folks what do you want to do? Invade another country (Iraq is only costing $47 million a day and few thousands American lives), NUKE him? that shouldn’t create any problems, hit his plants - well they are dug deep into mountains, and are well protected, but a few == well no that wouldn’t work either, I guess we have to send in Fox News they always seem to know what to do.
Jade, What Fox News personality has said that? I haven’t heard it, or seen a clip of them saying we should attack, but don’t watch that much of it. I have heard of blockades and sanctions being talked about, but not an attack.
michaelwme - a lot of fissionable material went missing during the breakup of the USSR, and several satellite states may have sold off their supplies covertly as well.
Making a very basic atomic bomb is not all that difficult if you have enough fissionable material; within seconds of hearing about the size of the bomb that did for Hiroshima, Heisenberg figured out the amount of U-235 necessary, given a “tamper.” (Some people think that Heisenberg actually knew more than he said, and suppressed it so the Nazis wouldn’t get the A-bomb, believing [falsely] that no one else would, either.)
But the delivery system is quite difficult, unless you’re just taking it in a truck next door. Iran has far more to fear from their own nuclear weapons – if they actually have one – than we do. And if they try for Israel, they’re likely to get themselves smeared, because Israel does have nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them wherever they want in the Mideast.

^no please don’t suggest that. His posts are hilarious, and usually funnier than the comics, and certainly predictable.

Sure, let’s bomb Iran. And STFU about budget, then, because if you think we should attack them, you obviously don’t care about the deficit.

ANandy, precisely, what’s the use having a treaty one can opt out of anytime with 6 months notice?

He’s just holding the hoop all the neocons and fanatics on the right jump through. (He’s also laughing at how easy it is to train them.)

The only one here who mentioned attacking Iran is Ken (from the left) and then most other left posters start going ballistic about it.
Good Grief!

^ Actually: “Obama should attack Iran to show us how tough he is” is a popular mantra on Fox News.

^ So you agree with their stating that we should attack Iran as a show of force?

I thought maybe you were talking about a show host, not a guest on a show.
