“All the evidence indicates that the Iranians are trying to develop the capacity to develop nuclear weapons.”


[US President Barack Obama, interview with CBS’ ‘The Early Show’, 1 April 2010] [1]

from the archives:


“The danger from Iran is grave, it is real, and my goal will be to eliminate this threat. […] We knew, in 2002, that Iran supported terrorism. We knew Iran had an illicit nuclear program. We knew Iran posed a grave threat to Israel. But instead of pursuing a strategy to address this threat, we ignored it and instead invaded and occupied Iraq.”


[US Democratic Party’s presidential candidate Barack Obama, speech at the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Conference, Washington DC, 4 June 2008] [2]

“What I believe the assessed intelligence has established beyond doubt is that [Iraq’s President] Saddam [Hussein] has continued to produce chemical and biological weapons, that he continues in his efforts to develop nuclear weapons, and that he has been able to extend the range of his ballistic missile programme.”


[UK Prime Minister Tony Blair’s foreword to the “Iraq’s Weapons of Mass Destruction: The Assessment of the British Government” dossier, 24 September 2002]

America seriously can goto hell. How on earth can they state iran is not allowed nuclear weapons when its within the un resolution. A country that
has killed and terrorized far too many nations actually condemns one small nation that hasnt performed acts of evil like america has.

I LOL'd as LBC radio this morning stated the US will not use pre-emptive
nuclear strikes on any nation,with the exceptions of Iran and North Korea

IMO they wont use nukes AT ALL.

Proviso:unless it's of those fictional "made for TV" suitcase variety

(Yes I know I haven't got back to that thread yet )

"Obama warns of nuclear terrorism

President Barack Obama has said the biggest threat to US security is the possibility of a terrorist organisation obtaining a nuclear weapon."
