Quote from acronym:
I was wondering when someone might bring that up some of these points.
The idea that iran isnt already fully nuclear capable is borderline absurd, when you examine their respective, if secular (to them) allies, and the respective 65 years between the manhattan project and modern international politics.
Agreed. Russia, Pakistan, North Korea.
Pakistan went nuclear with China's help. And the US looked the other way while AQ Kahn dealt technology on the blackmarket (stole and sold).
North Korean bomb material comes from nuke reactors we GAVE them. Iranian ballastic missiles are Skud variants from Nk.
Americas business is war. Plant a seed (nukes/chems/bio), come back a decade later to mow it down.
Its a long-term sow-harvest cycle for the Military-Industrial complex that gets a major war every decade. Plus, America gets to throw its weight around by proxy, in the interim.
Like the sheriff who throws down the gun and tells the boy to pick it up..... 'pick it up, Boy.....!'
Nobody's hands are clean, on this. Iran would have attacked already, had they wanted. They haven't. Its a non-issue.
Proliferation is the only problem. But the US ignored AQ Kahn and refused to shut down the border or fortify the ports, post-911.
There are bigger problems then "Al Kieda is gunna git a bomb and nuke us!" America's leadership are courting disaster. Who needs enemies when our own Government arms them then leaves the backdoor open..?
Oh yea. Can't forget. American Troops guarding Poppy fields in Afghanistan. Bumper harvest for the Taliban, this year!!
