So, I'm listening to the news on the way to work. They always have this guy named Tony Flamino giving an opinion minute. No clue who this guy is.
He's sitting there asking why he's using the U.N. to deal with Iran instead of dealing with it himself.
This question is easily answered. Obama gave a definitive deadline for Iran to come clean earlier this year was it? When the deadline came, Iran did nothing, the U.S. also - did nothing. His deadline was totally meaningless. Iran knows we will do nothing, what impetus is there for them to change anything? Sure, they continue to say their nuclear ambitions are peaceful only, but who in this world believes THAT pile of rhetoric coming from a man who wants Israel to be "levelled"?
Obama doesn't have the nerve to deal with Iran himself, that's the answer. I am not advocating starting WWIII, but I seem to remember us destroying other facilities around the world in the past that posed a danger to the U.S. and/or it's allies. As I stated before, what is Iran going to do if we wipe out their nuclear facilities, send an army by plane to invade the U.S.? Now there are rumors that Osama bin Laden is hiding out in Iran and that he is living quite comfortably there. If Iran is ALREADY harboring terrorists and their organizations, then what difference makes it if we go take care of business? They ALREADY hate us, they already want us dead, it isn't going to make anything worse.
Okay, the probability that they would try to start doing terrorist attacks on U.S. soil would definitely increase in such a scenario, that's the only threat I can see coming from such an attack. Of course, we can just sit here and wait until they have nuclear warheads.......
And look at Iran posturing again, starting up a fresh series of war games. Do you think the U.S. military is now on it's knees, trembling in fear? Iran has a president with a big mouth and there is no-one, apparently, willing to do anything about shutting him up. Arrogance and pomposity is all I see, the man is in love with his own voice and his own image being spread on news media all over the world. Giving a man like that center stage in the U.N. talks and allowing him to speak the way he has been against the U.S. causes me to give very little credibility or credence to that organization. If there is to be a boycott of anything, perhaps the U.S. should boycott the U.N. until someone in the ranks of the governing structure finds enough balls to stand up to Iran's president and tell him to -- shut the bleep up, actually - or at least show respect to everyone there and every entity being represented.
Whatever. Some of the junk in the news I find humorous, this particular subject I do not. Anyway, I found a place that sells fish, plants - everything - that is only a few miles away from my house! Imagine that. Not only that. but there is a Pond club that is having 12 open houses to show off their ponds - an annual event - I had an email conversation with the president of the club who says lots of members bring plants to share - free - to any meetings. Well goofy loofy dooooo!
I mean, wonderful! A pond club. Heck, I might just join! lol
Ummm, I gotta get signed into work and get with the day.
Later.

Iran probably could do serious damage to Israel with their current capabilities. Whether they could destroy it, I don't know. Whether they would like to, I think is easier to believe.
US admits to having five thousand nuclear weapons. Think about that for a minute. What on EARTH is the use of more than a half dozen? Gonna kill everybody a hundred times?
It is my belief that if Iran really wanted to, they could get a suitcase nuke into the US without much trouble in any of several ways. Certainly there is no lack of people and countries who would be happy to sell it to them.
But it takes the proles minds off the fact that they have no job and are losing their home, their retirement, their benefits. Boo Iran.
Well, conversely, Isreal could do very serious damage to Iran since they already HAVE nukes. They also have a serious military. Isn't any great option, but I doubt Israel is going to sit around waiting for us to do something forever.
As for our massive nuke stockpile, the government's thinking, I am sure: why make one when you can make five thousand? Of course, I am sure the thinking is also that if we were attacked, with as many silos around as we have, it would be difficult to impossible for anyone to take them ALL out.
Of course, we are seeing attempted attacks - failures because of the intended agressor's errors. I have to say, unfortunately, that we are going to start seeing bombs blowing up, killing people and taking out whatever structures. The reign of fear? Dunno how it will affect the American psyche if such starts happening.
And yes, BOO Iran!
