The Muslims consider all Jews to be part of the government. Therefore, they justify the destruction of the entire state. They are taught that all Jewish children,women, and citizens are part of an occupying army. Since they are part of the army, they are marked for death.

Why won't the liberals believe the fact that radical Muslims are equally dangerous as the Nazis and fascists like Mussolini. In fact, Iran's leader is making fun of the fascist leaders from ww2. I find it really hard to believe that the liberals cannot grasp the fact the Muslim intolerance is complete totalitarianism. So simple, if you just believe what they are openly willing to admit.

Geode and others are living in a world of utter non sense. I believe that Iran's president is serious when he challenges the US, Israel, and everybody else. I am 100% ready to give Bush my full support to take out his military infrastructure. Europe is not going to be left behind again from this phase of the military intervention. They should have not abandoned our military responsibility to remove SH. This mistake will not be made twice. Plus, they will finally get to say that without the good old EU, the entire world would be kneeling down and praying to the Koran. They need some bragging rights after humilitating the world in two world wars last century.

So why you've suddenly gone from "Just making this stuff up"

Message 22369281

To... "I'm equally not bothered whether the Clinton Administration/Richard Clarke would have been involved in any such discussions."

I don't believe that those are contradictory in any way.

You read the original article as implying that the White House was not involved. I don't read it that way. Further from the link above you say: "Since when does a Congressman undertake covert actions ...". That passage itself is made up; Newt never undertook a covert action. He talked to the CIA about it, but the covert action never occured. Clarke's writing on it implies that the White House knew about it.

I believe that the only point Clarke is making was that there was consideration given during the years of the Clinton Administration for taking some military action against Iran and it was decided not to take any action. Newt talked to the CIA about one action; Clinton considered a bombing attack on Iran. Neither happened.

I could care less about the Algiers Accord when it comes to governments that are guilty of violating it themselves... Especially one such as Iran, which has called for the complete destruction of other countries, not just their governments.

I don't expect you believe the US is obligated to abide by any international agreements.

I recall recently a post of yours where you pointed out the agreement between North Korea and the US [Clinton Administration] on NK's weapons program. The US would provide a light-water nuclear power plant to North Korea and NK would stop it's weapons program. NK cheated. All true. What you omitted was that the US renigged on it's part of the deal to provide NK with the power plant. Not implying that I trust NK anyway, but the US didn't live up to it's part of the bargain and I'm not surprised that NK would use that as an excuse.

Bush has made progress on NK, he got them to pull out of the NPT. Maybe he can get Iran to pull out of the NPT too.

At least things are going well on the GWOT. Acts of terrorism rolled over the 10,000 bar for 2005.
