Cheney: US will not let Iran go nuclear

news.yahoo.com

LEESBURG, Va. - The United States and other nations will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday.

"Our country, and the entire international community, cannot stand by as a terror-supporting state fulfills its grandest ambitions," Cheney said in a speech to the Washington Institute for Near East Studies.

He said Iran's efforts to pursue technology that would allow them to build a nuclear weapon are obvious and that "the regime continues to...

To hell with bush minor, Dick Cheney scares the bejesus out of me.

Yet despite his claims the IAEA says that there is no evidence that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons.

So who do you believe? A UN agency or the vice president with a known track record of fear mongering?

Still... after Iraq... If Iran is not going after nuclear weapons...with the drumbeats from this administration, I bet they are now.

This administration is this country's own worst enemy.

I wonder sometimes. I fear that they know exactly what they are doing, and do not care.

I just read the article and was going to post it, but i guess you beat me to it... anyway, this is just another piece of evidence that we will go to war with Iran. Its so obvious that anyone who denies it is living under a rock.... even if Iran discontinues their quest at becoming a nuclear country, we will find some way to make it look like they have nukes. If you don't think that in 5 years from now America and Iran will be at war, then you aren't paying enough attention.

to be honest when i was heavily involved on this sites posts about iran i always said war wwill happen but i dont think that any more its unlikely giving irans capabilities to strike back i dont think america wil attack but i will be totaly against any attack if it did happen and my support is with the people of iran and only the people hope bush gets into his head a attack will be a mistake that will go down in the history books.

Bush and Cheney need to start saying, " 'WE' (Bush & Cheney) won't let Iran go nuclear", instead of "The US won't let Iran go nuclear".

They are the ones bullying Iran in what seems like acts to try to start a war, NOT the rest of the US.

The use of some good diplomats would sure help here, but, alas, that is not Bush's way.

I have no problem with Iran building nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons in there hands is a little worrisome though.

If Iran does happen to build a nuclear bomb and can launch them in missles, why couldn't the US put up our missle defense systems around Iran, assuring they could not expect to launch a nuclear bomb and have it reach its intended target?

i dont have anything against the people off america well most of them its the govt and there foriegn policy i dislike and there tendancy to go to war with muslim countries

Manzoor,
I believe the administration 'want' them to strike back.
This would justify a serious escalation in aspects.

We went into Iraq, and Iraq did as little as fire a bb gun at us..

Had they of been a formidable enemy, we would of carpet bombed the place.

If we strike Iran's nuclear facilities..
and they retaliate... we will lable them as terrorists.
This will then give us justification to obliterate them.

but would you the american people people allow it dont you think you should stand up and say no for once yes iraq was not much but remember there army was half destroyed and there troops had almost no morale, i dont think oblitarating iran would solve anything do you want to see more terrorist attacks? are you asking for more deaths?

reply to post by manzoor


Sadly that is the attitude most of the world has about the United States.... and its our own doing... we let the bastards get away with it.

If there were any justice bush minor and company would have been drawn and quartered by now... not reelected to do more damage.

remember the march against war with iraq that was thousands i just cant beleave your own goverment didnt listen to the people ok i understand why not most people were mad after 9/11 and bush blaimed iraq but iran is differant they are no terrorists you cant just go around saying a countries army is a terrorist organisation thats crazy i think the american people should stand up strong and say no mass protests overwelm the media with anti iran war that should make bush listen i hope.

Does anyone have a list of these other nations that Cheney is talking about? I think that will have a huge impact on what everyone thinks about this topic. Until I know that i'm keeping my mouth shut.

IM behind Bush and Cheney 100% on this one and i know a LOT of folks who are as well. Unfortunately most of them have lives outside of the internet and dont lurk on boards such as this one like i do, but rest assured folks, there is PLENTY of support. Iran will get theirs if they dont cooperate. They are being given plentl of chances so when this thing does happen, please folks dont act like its out of the blue or something. This talk has been going on for 2 years now and its time for action.

Have fun!!!

time for action are you crazy more people are against war you are just one of those crazy bush war supporters good luck to your small band of supporters and take action you will regret it iran is not iraq i stood by and deffended the iranians on this site and any thread about iran and i always will and if war happens which i hope doesnt it happens and i hope you will see on the news your troops dieing your blood being spilled and most likely innocent people dieing and you tell me if it was a good idea.

do you want more blood on your hands more hate more bombings more death and destruction your president is crazy a war hungry man and should be tried for war crimes.

So much for being a prince of peace. I bet nobody ever told him that with his attitude, to use that moniker was taking the lord's name in vain.

There would have to be something to get congress to support this. I just can't see them giving the go ahead without some sort of big reason. I would hope they would have learned from Iraq and the WMD deception pulled off against them that the current executive branch of the US can't be really trusted.

Most Americans, including many here, are blind to the bubble of propaganda that they are living in. And as long as they are fat and docile with faux news, mal-warts and "reality" TV shows to keep them cross eyed and painless... nothing will change.

reply to post by GAOTU789


thats another reason why i beleave there isnt going to be war i mean you would need a BIG reason what could that be i wounder? but yea i don't think it would be a good idea and the people of america shoud of learnt from the iraq war deception and 650,000 inoncent people died for.

reply to post by grover
