I just saw him (Ahmadinajhad) on TV saying that Obama would regret the remarks he made today?

1. Something to do with this new alleged nuclear facility, I would imagine.
Didn't see either speech though, so don't quote me on that.

4. I think it was words to the effect of...
"I don't really care much about you one way or the other but since the realities of international relations are what they are, we're going to laugh when someone bombs you. You shouldn't have stolen that last election. Now it's going to be all your fault not matter what."

PITTSBURGH — President Obama and the leaders of Britain and France accused Iran on Friday of building a secret underground plant to manufacture nuclear fuel, saying the country has hidden the covert operation from international weapons inspectors for years.

Appearing before reporters in Pittsburgh, Mr. Obama said that the Iranian nuclear program “represents a direct challenge to the basic foundation of the nonproliferation regime.” President Nicolas Sarkozy of France said that Iran had a deadline of two months to comply with international demands or face increased sanctions.

“The level of deception by the Iranian government, and the scale of what we believe is the breach of international commitments, will shock and anger the entire international community,” Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain said. “The international community has no choice today but to draw a line in the sand.”

The extraordinary and hastily arranged joint appearance by the three leaders — and Mr. Obama said that Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany had asked him to convey that she stood with them as well — adds urgency to the diplomatic confrontation with Iran over its suspected ambition to build a nuclear weapons capacity. The three men demanded that Iran allow the International Atomic Energy Agency to conduct an immediate inspection of the facility, which is said to be 100 miles southwest of Tehran, near the holy city of Qum.

12. Those are the same countries who wanted to disarm.
Edited on Fri Sep-25-09 03:28 PM by lysosome
And the only way to disarm a missile is to use it. Otherwise it's a waste! :eyes:

Yeah, I don't think there are too many people who think Iran with nukes is a good thing. Obama did say that he wouldn't tolerate it. Apparently he means it.

9. I think this would be a good time to remember that Bush created Ahmadinajhad.
Bush created an "axis of evil" and then destroyed one third of the so-called axis, killing hundreds of thousands of people including the heads of state.

Not only would it be ridiculous to assume that Iran, one of the remaining two, would not respond in a big way, but, more importantly, it would be ridiculous to assume that the United States would not assume that Iran would respond in a big way. In other words, Bush created this mess and he knew he was doing it. (When I say Bush I of course mean Cheney.)

13. Yep, there is a reason it was a "balance" of power between Iran and Iraq.
