Either he's going to finally say the wrong thing and Israel blows him to pieces, or he attacks them himself. Likely, the former occurs. What has made this idiot go public with these insane statements is anyone's guess. When the bombs start dropping, we had better stay the hell out of it. This will be Israel's fight, and right now, we've got all we can handle elsewhere. One would think that modern society has quit producing useless plasma like Iran's new president, but one would be wrong. And please, spare us the muslims are bad crap. At his core, this guy is just wrong, no matter what his indoctrination. If there are rational people near this guy in Iran, the best thing that could happen is someone takes him out before he leads Iran back to 1,000,000 B.C.

He is like some Cindy Sheehan moonbat who somehow became president, only to keep the stupid protest slogans going from the higest postion of power. Iraq is now a friend and a democracy. Iran is off the charts dangerous because this guy could be MONTHS away from having a nuclear bomb and he is crazy enough to actually use it. It would be tough for Israel to take him down without our help.

Originally Posted By itsme >>He is like some Cindy Sheehan moonbat who somehow became president ----- Its called elctions, the people wanted him. I think the one thing overlooked at all this middle east democracy talk is that when giving a choice this is the type of person they are subject to elect.
Originally Posted By DouglasDubh <He's not like Cindy Sheehan - he's more like Tim McVeigh or Randy Weaver or some other white separatist holocaust denier.> Cindy Sheehan has said some pretty interesting things about Israel.

Originally Posted By Beaumandy How about the Iran leader is like David Duke. Both hate Israel, both think the US is evil, both are nitjobs..... kinda like many people on the left who somehow manage to live here. The difference however is that David Duke is simply a moron while Iran is about to get a nuclear bomb. It could be argued easily, that this guy, Ahmadinejad, is much more dangerous than Sadddam was. Since Saddam had to go so does Ahmadinejad. Hopefully the left hasn't convinced the nation that we are a bunch of pansies that is not willing to do what is needed to keep the country and the world safe. ( These words come from my friend MSMgt Dean in the Air National Guard yesterday. )

Originally Posted By DouglasDubh <I think the one thing overlooked at all this middle east democracy talk is that when giving a choice this is the type of person they are subject to elect.> The Iranian election was severely limited. The Iranians did not have a real choice.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Maybe they end there because someone gets hysterical and starts throwing in a bunch on non-sequitors? Just a theory.
Originally Posted By DDMAN26 <<The Iranian election was severely limited.

"The ballot is simple vote Saddam check Yes No" "One person voted no and no the police are coming to get him."

Israel has won every war it has fought since partition, except for the fight against Palestinian and Arab Terrorists and has only given up land gained in battle through diplomatic measures.
Originally Posted By fkurucz FWIW, the Iranians have been sating stuff like this for years. The only difference now is that they might soon have nukes. I too believe that the Israelis will not allow it to get that far. The question is: how will the Middle eastern, Islamic nations react after Israel destroys the Iranian facilities? Will they all attack Israel at once?
