| CFR to Bush: Stop |
| 2004-07-30 |
| A report by the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations urged the Bush administration to stop any Israeli attempt to strike Iran's nuclear facilities. The council warned that such an Israeli attack would be blamed on the United States and hurt its interests in the region. Maybe I missed the newsflash, CFR...but how in the heck could stopping a group islamo-maniacs hellbent on destroying Israel and western civilization BAD?? Buncha mooks. "Since Washington Yeah...a new approach...just like the great appeaser Jimmy Carter...that'll work for sure. On Thursday, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said the United States supports Israel's right to what he termed weapons of deterrence, regarded as a reference to nuclear weapons, Middle East Newsline reported. He said the United States was also pressing Iran to halt its nuclear weapons program. Uh, yea. Go IDF. The whole islamo-maniacal middle east is scare as Hell of Israel. "Israel faces An air strike on Iran's nuclear facilities would incur civilian casualties, the report said. It pointed out that many of Iran's nuclear facilities have been located in or near urban centers. Would incur civilian casualties??? You mean like WTC I and II... supported by those SOB mullahs?? It's a fact that the Revolutionary Guard has their barracks near the facilities. Take their butts out, too. The world would be a cleaner and safer place. Israel has never directly threatened Lizbeth. It's the big one! The U.S. report, drafted by an independent task force sponsored by the council, said Washington should resolve concerns over Iran's nuclear weapons program by coordinating with the European Union. But the council ruled out any military attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. Oh yeah...the EU. A stalwart of anti-terror backbone. "In addition, any military effort to eliminate Iranian weapons capabilities runs the significant risk of reinforcing Teheran's desire to acquire a nuclear deterrent and of provoking nationalist passions in defense of that very course," the task force said. "It would most likely generate also hostile Iranian initiatives in Iraq and Afghanistan." OK...let them develop the weapons...cuz they will...in two years or less. Then what in the Hell will we do?? The report also said direct U.S. efforts to overthrow the Iranian clerical regime would not succeed. The council said the regime could eventually provide greater liberties to its people. What are these guys smokin?? Are they REALLY that stupid?? Sheesh what a bunch of high paid idiots. "Despite considerable political flux and popular dissatisfaction, Iran is not on the verge of another revolution," the report, entitled ". The current Iranian government appears to be durable and likely to persist in power for the short- and even medium-term. However, Iran's generational shift and prevailing popular frustration with the government portend the eventual transformation to a more democratic political order in the long term. That process is too deeply entrenched in Iran's political history and social structure to be derailed or even long delayed." If someone does not kick the heck out of the black hats soon...it will be too late within 2 years...end of story Allan Akhbar!! (you islamo-mooks) |

| #9 I'm confused. Does Israel run the United States or does the United States run Israel? Could you please make up your mind? |

| #8 This doesn't happen often but I agree with the transis at CFR. There is no way that we should let Israel do our work for us. It sends a message of cowardice to the world at large. Tell Israel to sit tight like they did during GWI and GWII, we have this issue under control. America doesn't need a catspaw. I think we should bomb the crap out of all nuclear sites and the Revolutionary Guard for 444 days straight, but I may be wrong. How many days was it? That was a long time ago. |

| #7 Maybe I missed the newsflash, CFR...but how in the heck could stopping a group islamo-maniacs hellbent on destroying Israel and western civilization BAD?? Professional diplomats worship stability. While a nuclear Iran would be destabilizing (to say the least!), those diplomats realize they have no way to stop that short of, well, you know -- that thing that happens when professional diplomats are ignored and not allowed to try one more time to talk to the nice mullahs. Unable to stop Iran, they've decided to focus their efforts on something they might be able to stop, |

| #6 Yes, yes, these are the same geniuses who will be screaming bloody murder that nothing was done to stop them after the psychos in Teheran decide to use one someplace. The great thing about being an expert is that you're always right, even when you're dead wrong. |

| #5 What did you expect when Arabist Richard Haass slithered over from the State Department to take the top job at the CFR? What is truly awful is that there are plenty more of these creatures -- what the Brits call the "camel corp" -- remaining at Foggy Bottom. |

| #4 Hell, I think we ought to give Israel nukes for a strike just so they don't have to use up theirs. It's going to take a mushroom cloud or two over these nuke facilities to bring Iran and North Korea and Pakistan into proper attitude adjustment. |

| #3 Why are these twits afraid of Iran? The turbantops should have been dealt with long ago. |

| #2 The rest of the world seems to be stuck in a "let's do absolutely nothing, and do it all together" rut. I hope to hell we don't fall into it. |
