Stop parroting that bunk story of him threatening to shoot down the planes.
There is zero substance from it outside of an unnamed source and a Israel National News site which seems rather one sided.

Anybody with any sense knows you have to compromise with people.

I think anyone with any sense should also know that there are some people, not many but some, who you cannot trust on any level. You cannot compromise with someone you cannot trust - or at least have some reliable way to verify that they are honoring their commitments. That does not mean the only answer is to go to war. But it also does not mean you must blindly trust someone you know to be a complete liar. There are many steps the US could take against Iran short of a shooting war to curtail their nuclear weapons program. Notice I said "weapons."

What the heck is "oxcotton"?...Is it another one of your "poignant" facts?
Did you mean 'OxyContin', perhaps?

" Everything you said is true. I just hope the current US Administration is smart enough to not trust Iran. It seems like Obama is more concerned with arriving at an agreement for his "legacy" than he is about actually protecting lives. Some things can't really be undone. Once Iran has nuclear weapons (and it sure looks like they will) we will be dealing with that forever. In my opinion it is a really bad idea to allow a country that supports and honors suicide bombers to have nuclear weapons.

I think Mr. Netanyahu gave a brilliant speech to Congress. I just wish some of our so called leaders would listen to him. It seems to me that some of the folks posting on this thread mistakenly believe that the leaders of Iran (or other nations for that matter) think like they do or see the world as they do.
For example:
"Iran would never use a nuke because they would be immediately destroyed in retaliation." What that really says is "I" would never use a nuke because "I" don't want to be destroyed in retaliation. The crazy leaders of Iran may not feel that way. They have stated in the past that the Muslim world could survive the loss of 200 million if it meant the total destruction of Israel. That doesn't sound like someone who fears any retaliation.
I know there are millions of peace loving people in Iran and I don't want to see them bombed or destroyed. However, I don't want to see Israel or anyone else destroyed either. There are times we have to be realists and put aside idealistic hopes and dreams. Iran under its current leadership is a crazy dangerous country. I wouldn't trust anything they promise or any agreement they sign. (For the record I don't trust a word Obama says either.)
"The Islamic Republic will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground" - Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
I could post another dozen links, but I suppose the entire internet is just making it up, right?
Iran's leader said in a speech that the country would annihilate the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa if it were attacked by Israel, and criticized the U.S. over nuclear talks.
Iran's most powerful authority said the Islamic Republic would destroy the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa if Israel launched a military attack against it.
"At times the officials of the Zionist regime (Israel) threaten to launch a military invasion, but they themselves know that if they make the slightest mistake the Islamic Republic will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said during an address, broadcast live on state television.

Did you just write in code? Because it made zero sense.

Do you think Putin would allow a foreign head of state in to address the Russian congress on the Ukraine situation?
