Containing Iran

Uhh...OK.

Yes, seriously. VERY seriously. Nukes are not a game to be played by the timid or ill-informed.

The US has 5K nukes...thier are 200 nations on earth...so lets just say we drop 10 Nukes on each every country on the globe.

Again, I'm waiting on your breakdown of those nukes. You DO understand the difference between tactical and strategic nukes, right? I mean, it would be foolhardy in extremis to enter this discussion unprepared...

Next, your going to need to know the capabilities and limitations of nuclear weaponry, as applied to BOTH sorts... For example, you can't get maximum destruction AND fallout out of the same explosion... again, research is your friend when entering this arena. Basic fearmongering with fudged figures won't cut it against someone who HAS done their homework.

Correction...We do not have enough Nuclear weapons to "Obliterate the world"...but rather significantly cripple humanity and civilization for a very long span of time.

Nope. See above comments regarding "homework", and realize that civilization is likely to be present in countries not in the blast zone...

As long as we are getting all crazy literal in our wording...

Yes, precision is fairly important when dealing with nukes... I'm surprised you don't realize that. Well, on balance, maybe not all THAT surprised...

I would go further to propose "Destroying the world" is immpossible...as long as thier is a big hunk of rock orbiting in relatively the same margin of "life zone" from the sun and bacteria of some sort survive, life will spring anew and evolve regardless of what happens.

More fearmongering, by presenting insinuations not backed by any sort of fact. In court, that's called "leading the witness", and generally frowned upon.

On what basis do you present insinuation that man has the ability to turn the Earth into a "cinder", inhabitable only by bacteria?

If it makes you any happier, though, I'd be more than happy to withdraw all US assets, troops, bucks, everything - back inside US borders and seal the borders up tighter than a drum. "Contain" ourselves voluntarily, and let the world's whiners fend for themselves.

If only your government was so considerate.

Still you won't be able to afford all those troops much longer.

We wouldn't need 'em at all if we'd just leave the rest of you lot hanging... well, until you came to force "cooperation" out of us, that is. Might get a little dicey then. Then again, there's also the additional benefit of pulling our cash props out from under the rest of the world. We could probably have an increase, in troop strength then.

this is a great video to watch at least someone in this country has the cajones to at least call him on his own words

this video is way better than the larry king one.................as always i post your free to decide.

You know whats sad is that many will purposely over look it.

Great find.

Thanks for posting it

There is also an "Unplugged and Uncut" version on Fox's website.

I can't comment yet on either, I'm waiting for transripts...I have no sound .

Anybody know where I can find the transcripts, Fox has nothing, and google has provided me zilch.
