Gadhafi: War on Iran would set dangerous precedent
2009-09-25
[Iran Press TV Latest] The Libyan leader Colonel Moammar Gaddafi says launching a strike on Iran over its nuclear program will set a "dangerous precedent".
No,that would have been Osiraq, back when Saddam Hussein was running the place. Just about all decided, after they stopped fussing, that it had been A Good Thing.
"If we are talking about military action, then the question will be who will take this military action? Who will do it and who has the right to do so?" Gaddafi told the Council on Foreign Relations think-tank in New York on Thursday.

He noted that other countries including India, Pakistan, China, Russia, the US and Israel have atomic weapons.

"All of them have nuclear bombs. Why not take military action against them?" Reuters quoted Gaddafi as saying.

Israel, which is the sole possessor of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, has repeatedly voiced its determination to halt Iran's nuclear program, even through military options.

#8  Dangerous precedent - YES! But only dangerous to 3rd-rate dictators in dirtbag countries trying to get technology which makes them a menace to their neghbors (and the rest of the world).

#7  What kind of precedent will it be, colonel, if Israel responds to MM nuke with biologicals?

Seems like that's exactly what you buggers have been doing, Colonel. You're just not very good at it.

#5  Another truth is that the USA has been under attack for years. The latest bomb attacks were stopped this week.

#4  Except in the case of the U.S. BO is hellbent on nuclear disarmament. Naïveté coupled with arrogance is a dangerous mix.

Maybe, because if you attack a nuclear armed country, they will strike back?

#2  This is the guy that thinks the Kennedy assassination should be re-opened because Jack Ruby was Jewish and the Jews were responsible? And that the next serious pandemic is Fish Flu? Are we sure this guy's brain isn't addled by syphilis [or radical islam]?
