Except Bush said "nucular."

I want a nuclear weapon to feed puppies and nurse baby ducks.

Well I'm sure that if you substitute "people" with the more specific "Israel" and apply it to most of the Middle East you'd be correct.

Well why wouldn't they say that, it worked on all the farking retards the first time. Why not try it again?

And when the US gets there and they don't find a nuclear warhead, I'm sure the same farking retards will say, "The WMDs are in Syria! I'm sure of it." And then maybe McCain will make a joke about the WMDs being under his couch.

Seriously anyone who believes anything they say anymore should be ashamed of themselves as human beings and as American citizens.

Perhaps telling them that if they nuke anybody, their country will be levelled and turned into a giant hog confinement would make them rethink their cunning plan.
MAD worked in the cold war, didn't it? We don't need to preemptively bomb them. They'll collapse on their own soon enough.

I see what you did there, submitard

I don't want them to have nuclear weapons but I understand, if I was running Iran I'd want nuclear weapons too. Having WMDs would seem to be the only thing that would keep us out of their country and another stupid war.

I wish that were sufficient, but it's not.
True, if Iran launches a nuclear weapon, they will likely face nuclear retaliation; therefore, they will not directly attack anyone with nuclear weapons.

More likely scenario:
-- A nuke goes off on, say, Monday.
-- Thursday morning, analysis of the radioactive debris indicates that it was probably built in Iran.
-- Thursday afternoon, Iran denies launching a nuke and promises "a full investigation" of the incident.
-- We (and the Israelis) contemplate revenge, but this is complicated by doubt... and the moral implications of killing every man, woman & child in Teheran for something their government might have done.
-- Nothing happens.

Bush just can't seem to stop embarrassing himself. Actually, he does it so often, it's getting kind of boring at this point.

Don't Tase Me Bro:
-- We (and the Israelis) contemplate revenge, but this is complicated by doubt... and the moral implications of killing every man, woman & child in Teheran for something their government might have done.
-- Nothing happens.

Yeah, it's not like we would ever inflict civilian collateral damage in a Middle Eastern country based on questionable intelligence and supposition of their government's activities.

McCain has a hard-on for Iran and the apparent onset of dementia. Hillary and Obama will be splitting their party all the way to Denver.

Sleep tight.

El Dudereno: We don't need to preemptively bomb them. They'll collapse on their own soon enough.

You know who else will collapse any day now?



...I am sure Bush and Cheny will handle this with tact. After all, if you're worried that some nation may want to build nukes, then saber rattling and threatening invasion will surely make them change course.

It's not logic, it's Bush/Cheney-think.

Tastes Like Chicken: "The WMDs are in Syria! I'm sure of it."

The weapons have always been in Syria.

The Stealth Hippopotamus: Tastes Like Chicken: "The WMDs are in Syria! I'm sure of it."

That's right. Saddam also spent most of his days riding Osama Bin Laden around like a horsey through his palaces, and he personally piloted three of the four planes on 9-11. He survived by using Mystical Arab Teleportation™ technology.

Even now, the real Saddam sits in Iran, personally manufacturing nuclear weapons and writing his inauguration speech as Overlord of the North American Union.

I think you are over thinking this. They don't care if they get nuked! This is the same culture that makes trading cards of suicide bombers and sends little kids running across mine field holding their little plastic "keys to heaven ". You think they (the leaders) are staying up late at night trying to figure out ways to stay out of heaven?? No their path is clear die killing the infidel and you get a first class ticket to the afterlife.

Thanks for the (S-StupidUnfunnyJoke) submitter.

Heh...nice.

You win a cookie.

When they have or want nook-you-lar weapons it's baaaad ... they want to kill people.

When we have them it's a deterrent and we'd never dreeeeeam of actually using them.

The odd thing is, we're the only nation on the planet that's actually used them against someone else.
Everyone else wants them to keep us from using ours again.

kronicfeld: I want a nuclear weapon to feed puppies and nurse baby ducks.

Not sure why, but I lol'd, very nice.

/I think it was the baby ducks

Wonder if there is any link between those that loveeee to speed on the highways and those that still believe this crap?

Just stupid.

did he look into Ahmadinejad's eyes and know that this was his intention

/it very well may be
//but don't be a farking retard and go around mouthing off like this George
///can someone just rent him a whole lot of DVD's that he can catch up on for the remainder of his term?

You know who goes and blows themselves up? The retards and the poor who want to get money for their families . The rich and comfortable want to stay rich and comfortable.

WOLF! WOLF! WOLF!

No honestly, guys...for real this time- there's a BIG FARKIN' WOLF!
and...and...it's got big, huge-ass fangs drippin' poison...and glowing red death-ray eyes...and...and scales, and a spike on its tail...and steel claws...and...and a nukyular bomb and it wants to destroy us and take away our freedoms...and...

Why doesn't anyone believe me??

Haven't you done enough to bankrupt this country and decimate it's military already Shrub?
You know if you were working for a foreign agent and that was your goal,if you were the Manchurian candidate ,the proverbial Trojan horse, I'd have a lot more respect for you. But no. I'm afraid you're just that farking incompetent.

Headso: ou know who goes and blows themselves up? The retards and the poor who want to get money for their families . The rich and comfortable want to stay rich and comfortable.

Actually the leadership is fairly lead from the front in that part of the world. Yes you have the very top (top 1%) but the second in command and down are fighting. You dont really need that many people back at HQ when there is no real central governing body. You dont need a whole unit to write reports to Congress or anything

Jeezus.

The Bush Administration is a falsehood wrapped in a untruth inside an lie.

Some day Americans have to ask themselves why they let such blatant and repeated liars have any influence at all.

Will somebody wiser than me expalin something to me?

WTF could be gained by saying this bullshiat on a radio america type interview that is broadcast in Farsi? Huh? Who and what does he try to perseude when this isn't even directed at the American sheep? PLEASE, PLEASE help me understand, because I'm honestly pretty close to leaving my country. Anyone?

"Iran has "declared they want a nuclear weapon to destroy people"

Yeah, except that's literally the COMPLETE farkING OPPOSITE of what they've been saying for years now.

Christ, does it really bother no one that this man is blatantly and and intentionally lying the the American public with the intent to to launch an invasion and indefinite military occupation of another nonthreatening country? Voting for this guy now is nothing less than voting for a 4 year continuation of the Bush administration.

If we are seriously contemplating an invasion of Iran that suggests that the oil resources of the world are in bad shape. It suggests that we are going to use military force and not the free market to acquire oil.

If we are contemplating an attack on the country to cripple their ability to export that suggests there is enough oil coming onto the market and they believe Iraq's recent sucess in boosting their exports will continue and we can shut off the Iranian spigot for a while.

If all this is just blowhard bullshiat it suggests we need those 2.5million barrels a day coming onto the market from Iran and we really can't tip over that applecart. I think this is where we are at.

Gregory F. Stuart: Wrong. Surprisingly, most suicide bombers today are young and middle-class.

yeah sure.

Think where we could have been if 8 years ago someone who had a passion for reducing our country's dependence on fossil fuels had been inaugurated as POTUS, instead of the pathological liar who currently occupies that seat.

I back up my claim with the fact that the bio and chem weapons programs that the Iranians already have, and have had for decades have not resulted in the proliferation of bio and chem weapons through terror cells in the middle east nor have they fired such weapons in a first strike manner.

What brings you to your conclusion?

I do not know about delcare but they did/do want a nuke. What good is a nuke if you cannot kill a targeted group of people in the blast radius?

I would put the statement at 80% truthyness.

Gregory F. Stuart: Headso: Gregory F. Stuart: Wrong. Surprisingly, most suicide bombers today are young and middle-class.

Damn, all of the evidence in the world can't stand up to an argument like that. I concede.

Skleenar: Think where we could have been if 8 years ago someone who had a passion for reducing our country's dependence on fossil fuels had been inaugurated as POTUS, instead of the pathological liar who currently occupies that seat.

Or atleast someone who could topple a regime and install a puppet in a competent manner...Although some level of energy independence sounds like a better alternative.

Saiga410: What good is a nuke if you cannot kill a targeted group of people in the blast radius?

It's a fair-to-middling way to ensure that nobody else nukes you.

/assuming you build it before they nuke you for building it.

What part of "working on nuclear technology" and "wants to wipe Israel off the map" makes "Wants to use nuclear weapons to wipe Israel off the map" is a huge logical leap?

If I stated that I "wanted a gun" and "wanted to kill my neighbors dog", would it really be so hard to imagine that these two things might be... related?

Surely Obama has promised something to deal with this.

Gregory F. Stuart: You're like a mini-canyoneer. It's so cute! ^_^

thanks, he too knows what drives modern civilization and allowed the population of the planet to approach 7 billion people(hint: it isn't snarky comments on the internet)

Actually, unless you can find a statement by Iran that states they are seeking a nuclear weapon, it is at 0% truthiness.

The fact you feel otherwise is disturbing.

cchris_39: Surely Obama has promised something to deal with this.

Proabably not since it is only happening in Bush's imagination.

I believe that, at their core, Americans are a brave and optimistic people. There have been times when events have shaken them, and in those times, opportunistic men of wicked ambition have taken the advantage to peddle their phantom fears. But if history has taught us anything, it is that such times can not last, and that eventually America shall find the courage to once again show its true face of hope and idealism, and in the presence of such, no man and no fear can stand.

Well, Iran was the next country on Bush's list to invade and attack over false accusations and no proof...

The First: Well, Iran was the next country on Bush's list to invade and attack over false accusations and no proof...

Don't forget North Korea.

Oh wait, they actually was proof about them.

Why kill a few jews when you can destroy their whole country? And he has said that he would "burn" them. Well he could be talking about napalm.

Well there is this little tidbit in TFA.

A December 2007 U.S. intelligence report said Iran halted work on nuclear weapons four years earlier but could restart it.

If they were working on it, then at least in the near history they had a desire to procure a nuclear weapon. I would put it as action denote desire in this case.

Pre 9/11, I was right there with you. Now, thats bullshiat. America pissed their little candyass panties after 9/11 and seceded up privacy and power to their Daddy governement to feel safe. They decied our values needed to go. fark it, lets torture. ANYTHING as long as we could feel safe. America has shown itself to be a bunch of pussy biatches. It isn't an easy pill to swallow, but facts are facts.

It would be the destrcution of IRanian civilization. Teh Iranians aren't that stupid. Frankly, I'd be more afraid of Bush launching a preemptive nuke than anybody in the world right now. Sorry, but we are the bad guys.
