Bush Demands Action in IRAN

[JMHX]

America will tomorrow demand that the United Nations takes urgent action to prevent Iran acquiring the atom bomb as fears mount that Teheran is on course to develop a nuclear weapons capability within two years.

United States officials will make the demand at a special meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna that has been arranged to consider a 10-page report by Mohammed al-Baradei, the agency's director-general, into the state of Iran's nuclear programme.

Washington has already expressed deep concern about the discovery of traces of weapons grade uranium found in soil samples taken from one of Iran's top secret nuclear facilities last July.

In his report, a copy of which has been obtained by The Telegraph, Mr al-Baradei lists serious concerns raised by UN weapons inspectors about the scope of Iran's nuclear programme, which Teheran continues to insist is aimed at developing a nuclear power industry.

Inspectors are particularly concerned about activity at a nuclear complex at Natanz, in central Iran, which has sophisticated equipment for enriching uranium to weapons grade standard.

wait a minute...

this is what people will say: i thought we kicked saddams ass already!!! why are we attacking them again?

the sad thing is i know its true...

iran is so ready for democracy... IF we leave it alone... but what the fuck lets invade another country... this way we have a nice little belt ranging from iraq to afghanistan border with china...

then we will merge the countries and call them USA east... it will be great... then into canada and mexico... i mean USA north and south... then on to japan for USA west

i hate everything

The US is demanding that the UN takes action? Isn't this a good thing? It means we're finally playing by the rules. Or is there just no oil in Iran? Either way, we need to stay out of shitty, pissed off countries for a while. We only make them shittier and more pissed off. And then planes start crashing through our buildings. It a vicious cycle if you stop to think about it.

I think we did our part now its the UN's turn to take over since they hardly had anything to do with it untel the midway of this war. Iraq is an unstable country, there are rebels everywhere you cant stop 500 rebels out of 5000000 people its imposible thats where most of the us solder's are getting hurt out there its because of those rebel snipers and bombers. I think its time to bring our boys home!!!!!

Well, it's kind of our fault they're pissed.

We, uh, helped depose the Shah (who wasn't a half bad monarch compared to what we replaced him with) and helped install the Ayatollah.

Besides, if Bush demands action so adamantly, why doesn't he go to Iran his damn self?

Jeers,

Oh my god, Karasz was right. We're not talking about IraQ, but IraN.

[gerbilfromhellll]

ah yes, another accusation of 'weapons of mass destruction'. i wonder if any of THESE are true? really, i mean it's really obvious what bush's plan is. it's to
1)accuse a country of some evil evil thing, possibly putting them in the axis of evil for good measure
2)go to the UN with a ridiculous demand and bullshit evidence, then yell at them when the proposal is obviously rejected, as it should be
3)invade the country on our own, instilling a sense of patriotism in the ignorant masses of america
4) kill lots of people, indluding civilians and british soldiers, but only tell people about the enemy soldiers dying
5)lather, rinse, repeat : D

on the subject of patriotism, i went to find what was, in my opinion, the best definition of patriotism. i found it in samuel adam's (or maybe someone else's i'm not 100% sure) dicitonary. he defines it as 'the last refuge of a scoundrel'. it's so true, especially today

wait a second... the shah we kept in power, and he was oppressive...

THEN the ayatollah came into power AFTER the shah got cancer and we let him come into the US for treatment...

then the hostage crisis happened...

but now the iranian college crowd want more personal freedom, and to be closer to the west... but not the US... ya know....

It would be a terrible impression to leave behind, and prove that america Is no more than warmongers.

that Is what they did before in the gulf war. left iraq In anarcey, And then suddam came along and and took over the country. would you let the same thing happen again...and again, and again.

america needs to spend more time ACTUALLY rebuliding there goverment. instead of... hey what are they doing there anyway?

No no, the US deposed a democratically elected government in Iran and installed the Shah. The Shah was crap and led to the Islamic revolution. :D

You did your part? So what you are proposing is. US goes in, gets rid of Saddam takes over all the oilfields, awards all the rebuilding contracts to US companies. Then the UN has to clean up the mess (and pay for it...money which goes straight to the US) and would still be under the control of the US?!

Why don't I think that's fair. I'm a bit of a bastard so I propose this instead. The UN tells the US to fuck off and clean up its own mess. The US trying to clean up its own mess bankrupts itself and Iraq is left in ruin.

Well I prefer that to: US invades another country, UN foots the bill. US invades yet another country, UN foots the bill.

Iraq is an unstable country

Because of the US.

Oooh... this iws the time for me to say installing oil pipelines, isn't it?

[JoS]

Maybe the US should lead by example and stop its nuclear weapons program. Oh wait I forgot then countries that have them (almost entirely US allies which the US doesnt apose gaining nukes) would have no deterent from using them, cause we know thousands of already existing nukes arent enough. How about someone demand the US account for all of their WMD, since they have the largest stockpile of chemical, bio, and nuclear in the world, and maybe how about getting rid of them since we all know the US has used them in the past(Japan in WWII). Give me a break Bush.

Pipelines and contracts, the two biggest things we're worrying about over in Iraq right now.

[Kenney333]

I fear the U.S. has nuclear weapons capability. oh the hipocracy.

anyways, they prolly just want the UN to take Iran because theres nothing for them to exploit there. And after America's little hitsquad Iraq didnt do away with them when the US sold the weapons to them, they want to get rid of them both.

Ah, my bad. I've got my history ass backwards. Let's see if I can recap Iranian history (pre-Gulf War) correctly.

In '53 (which is what I was thinking of) the US helped overthrow Mossadeq (sp?), who wasn't a half bad ruler when compared to the Shah whose dictatorship the US helped install. Then the fucking Imam had to show up and vow to wipe out all Western influence (yay messed-up theology) and the Ayatollah ruled with an iron fist for ten years.

Sorry, I had my history screwed up. Oops. :P

Don't worry, Iran's just right next door. At least the logistical costs won't be as heavy :)

I was all for the war on Iraq, but let's settle down for a bit. Bush has gone a bit crazy.

They have all wronged us in the past, so I'm fine with revenge. As long as he doesn't decide to take a shot at our European allies.

Damn, he's going further than anyone ever imagined, will he ever stop? I hope he can be diplomatic about it. Next up is Korea, and that ain't no piece of cake.

Finally bush is learning from his fathers mistakes. His dad lost the election because he ended his war without haveing another war ready to go. I don't know if this is an american thing or a woman thing but it seems we unite best behind hateing the same people.

actually his father lost teh election because the economy was hurting, he said no new taxes, but brought on new ones AND people didnt think he really gave a damn about fixing the economy... and the whole throwing up on a japanese prime ministers lap thing got to be too much...

[stafffighter]

The economy sucks now. The diffrence is he looks like a hero for risking other peoples lives. He is doing nothing less that sucking away the glory deserved by the nameless faces who are dieing for his cause.

[JoS]

Does anybody know what the W in George W Bush stands for. Im thinking maybe it stands for WAR. Maybe we should call him Georgie the Conquoer. Heil George.

[stafffighter]

the w is for walker. Which is ironically what he was back when he would have had to fight.
