#2 Larijani has compared the talks on Iran's nuclear programme to a chess game. "In this game, we are for a result that will be satisfactory to both Iran and Europe," said Larijani adding that "if we lose, the same will also happen to the other party (Europe) and they will have to prepare themselves to live in a hell."

um...and how is that like chess?

Which is different from the old threat how, exactly?

No matter. Europe rolled over and went back to sleep anyway.

#6 I wonder if we're going to wait until these nutballs actually nuke someone before we take them out. I certainly hope not but I'm afraid that will be the way it plays out. We should be giving them a 48 hour ultimatum starting tomorrow telling them that if they don't depose Ahmedinejad and destroy their nuke installations immediately their whole country will shortly thereafter become a radioactive wasteland.

#11 We are going to sit here and watch them build the bombs, debate if they will use them, until they do, and then spend the rest of our kids lives trying to clean it up. I am not a preacher of doom, this is real, they have issued their intent, and will follow through with it. Our options are limited, one we complain to the UN and watch the inevidable attack happen. Or we can build the plan and execute it before they destroy a few good cities in this world. We are not debating their intent anymore, we are debating on if we should wait for them to strike or to preempt it.

#13 A strategy based on dialogue? They don't even show up for the meetings anymore. And when they do they just say they will never give one inch on enriching uranium. All they are doing now is jerking off the EUnicks to buy a little more time to build a crude bomb. They see NKOR getting away with it and think they'll give it a try. They are an insignificant little stain on the world. And what is this "Hell" they speak of? $5 gas? Thats about the only thing they can fuck up worse than it is now.

#14 This is freekin great, the EU panzies are being punked out like the panzies they are. I think the European people are a stong people who just need to see thier leaders for what they are peace-love-&-happiness mentality panzies.

Sometime in the near future:::::
Following this press conference the UN made a responce were the EU negotiator was speaking to reporters then all the sudden the Iranian delegate walked up behind straight smacked the EU guy in the back of the head in mid talk then the Iranian guy proceededs to step forward make a quick "dont mind my b*tch she talks out of turn sometimes" then deliver a scathing verbal attack on the Big Satan and Little Satan, all the while the EU delegate shrinks into the background head down.

#15 LMAO, indeed, .com! Listen to our monologues and threats or we will continue our nuclear weapons program unabated, anyway. The EUniks are negotiating from a position of strong weakness. Appeasement and dhimmitude is just around the corner. I swear, this is a mad hatters' tea party---appeasing EUniks on one side and Mad Mullahs on the other. And the EUniks are college educated. They must have got a special dispensation to not have to take logic class. You just cannot make this sh**te up.

Europe has enabled the Iranian program with materials and parts and enabled the continued development by their weak-kneed "diplomacy" in which they set meetings and the Iranians don't show. Your beloved Europe will decry the efforts when the adults actually do something about it as well. Whiny pussies and procrastinating jerks seem to have the megaphone there, don't they?

#19 Europe told us to STFU after ahrd power screwed up so much in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Euros were going to show us how it is done with soft power. So we didn't do anything while the EU3 carried the ball. Well, they've shown us and it looks like hard power will be requiried again. We're 2-0. The Euros are 0-1, 0-2 if you count the brilliant successes of soft power in the Balkans. The Euros needed Clinton's insertion of international hard power to deal with that one. We look pretty damn efficient to me.

#21 And what is this "Hell" they speak of? $5 gas? Thats about the only thing they can fuck up worse than it is now.

How about this:

Iran has successfully tested its Shahab-3 missiles...firing them off of freighters and detonating them at high elevations.

According to President Reagan's chief scientific advisor, William E. Graham, the sole purpose of a test like that would be to detonate nukes at high elevations...creating EMP nukes (electro-magnetic pulse nukes.)

EMP nukes fired from the Atlantic and detonated over the east coast would shut down all the electricity as far as Chicago and St. Louis and cover the entire east coast.

There would be no refrigeration, tap water, working toilets, trucks, cars, etc.

It would result in chaos and pestilence for half the country.

(From a comment on "Adventures of Chester" by the owner to one of his posts .)

If this is credible (comments?), one each launched from the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Mediterranean would provide a pretty good facsimile of Hell for the West.

Faster, please.

#23 Bite me, "defender against Fascism©".

*Takes bite out of Frank*
*Chews carefully*
*Spits out as rotten*

Your beloved Europe will decry the efforts when the adults actually do something about it as well

Will it? You prophet you. Ofcourse *much of it* will indeed decry it, same as much of the United States will decry it. That comes from living in a pluralist society.

But didn't more than half of "my beloved Europe"'s nations support the American invasion of Iraq, a fact which Rantburgers remember when it suits them, and forget whenever it's time for their true feelings to come forth?

Didn't I keep on hearing "Thank you Poland", "Thank you Bulgaria", "Thank you Italy", "Thank you United Kingdom", etc, etc, etc and all the pretense gratitude feelings -- until ofcourse it was again time for Rantburgers' true everlasting contempt for everything-not-American to spew forth like vomit?

Same old, same old. Pretense gratitude, pretense thanks, pretense feelings of camaraderie, followed like clockwork by real contempt.

The Euros were going to show us how it is done with soft power. So we didn't do anything while the EU3 carried the ball.

*Really*? That's why you didn't do anything?

So, when e.g. you didn't do anything against even Sadr, that was also Europe's fault? Wow, we must be *really* powerful if we can restrain such a superpower as yours.

Probably not. It seems to me more likely that it's your own weakness that causes you to not act against Iran, just as you failed to take out Sadr -- not some sort of mystical power that Europe possesses over you.

Because, Aris, at this point - their bombs can only reach you and not us

Do you *really* think that Europe's concerned about Iranian missiles reaching it? We are not.

You're free to complain secure in the knowlege that the US or Israel won't allow it to move forward. You are closer and that's the technology they have right now. They might get us with a dirty bomb - but they don't need any new technology for that.

Why shouldn't they set their sights on Europe? It's a toothless tiger that doesn't even bother to roar.

Damn. That's twice in a week that I have to agree with Aris.

C'mon people: we have NOT done very much to this point, at least that has been publicly disclosed, to stop Iran. We've had a lot of tough-sounding press releases, we're trying to stiffen the spines of the EU-3 (like shooting pool with a rope), and we'd like to get this to the UNSC, for all the good that would do.

And maybe, maybe, we're doing a whole bunch of stuff behind the scenes to work on the problem. Maybe the CIA is pulling all sorts of hi-jinx that we'll never read about. Maybe the NSA has all the intercepts, and those are in the hands of Special Ops people who are doing nefarious things. Maybe our diplomats are quietly building support for a strike. Maybe our military people have Plans Red, Orange and Black readied, just wating for a go-code.

Maybe. I hope so. But in the light of public evidence to date, Aris isn't wrong to say what he said.

I wish I had that knowledge, 2b. I'm afraid I don't, not in the slightest. I don't know if Israel has the capacity to stop it, and I don't know if America has the will to do so, since it may mean that the Iranian Shiite stooges in Iraq (SCIRI, Sadr, etc) will also revolt, bringing to nil all supposed progress that has been made there.

You can cross the New York Nuke off their target list, the UN building is there.

While the World Trade Center was also in New York, that was a controlled attack, a Nuke would affect the whole city, and they don't want to piss off the whole world, just the United States.

#42 I have to admit, that before I posted, the point that Steve made occurred to me. However, at least in the United States, as in Israel, we have the EXPECTATION that our government will do something - though we may be, as Steve says, wrong.

I will admit I was wrong about Europe being a "toothless" tiger. It has both claws and teeth. But I'm not far from wrong when I say it doesn't bother to roar. Schroeder and Chirac are corrupt - both cooperating with Putin and Saddam and selling the George Galloway line of BS that we can just bribe and nuance our way out of it as they line their pockets in ways that would make Arafat proud.

And talk about claiming "my country is better than yours" The only thing that ever comes out of Europe is how we knuckle dragging Americans don't understand nuance. And right they are. We don't understand how Chirac, Schroeder and Galloway will ever do much of anything except in their own personal interest. You are nothing but a peasant to be taxed for their own personal gain and if they have to wear turbins to stay in power - so be it. The Iraq war and the UN scandal has already proved that.

Steve, the US Navy and other assets have kept the Gulf [oil supply]open for the world and provided a deterrent force to keep Iran in check for decades.

The Euros could have done alot more in the way of embargoing trade with Iran instead it has weakened pressure working around those embargos.

#44 Sorry Steve, I'm with RD et al on this: we have actively tried to stifle teh Iranianinfluence in shiite areas of Iraq, costing American and British lives. JacK Straw seems to be working at cross-purposes to the Brit mission in Iraq, and the rest of Europe, if not actively selling materials to Iran, has tut-tutted any measures to constrain and punish the Iranians for their adventures. Not to mention how long it took to get the EU to recognize the Iranian tool terrorists of hezbollah as anything other than a Muslim United Way

#45 Frank G.> Respect is earned, not derived just by continually breathing.

Well for starters, our attitudes are just slightly different. I feel that people first earn the right to respect simply by the mere fact of being fellow human beings. They can then proceed by words and actions to *lose* the respect they were first entitled to. E.g. as you long ago lost mine.

Secondly, people earn *your* respect Frank, only if they happen to agree with you.

you ever notice JFM, A8089, (especially) TGA have no problem with respect....? I didn't think so. They've earned it, in my book

Have you ever noticed how I never treat TGA, JFM, liberalhawk, Fred, and many other people, with disrespect or rudeness either?

It partly derives from the fact that these people don't tend to bash whole continents and then pretend that it's *other* people's attitudes that is the problems. The fact that their posts generally tend to contain sentient content, unlike yours, also contributes to my continuing respect for them.

#46 2b> I also feel that Shroeder was corrupt -- I was for a long time a fence-sitter on this one, but the fact he immediately received a cozy job in Russia's state-owned corporation finally convinced me of the fact.

Not yet sure about Chirac. He's an ass in many ways, and his contributions in the last years atleast have largely been greatly negative to both European and Transatlantic unity, but I've not studied his actions enough to tell whether that's the result of corruption or mere arrogant nationalism (taking care of France's interests in all the worse ways).

No, I've noticed that you are more than willing to get into the gutter at the slightest provocation, even when it was clear to others one wasn't intended. If you could go to Vegas and cash in the chip on your shoulder, you'd be rich for life.

#50 Frank, "Sentient" is a very useful word, which is why you see me use it all the time. Certainly many of the comments in any given thread could have been written by a computer. Just have a program sprinkle "Dhimmi-donks", "EUnics" and "traitors" through randomly constructed sentences, and few people would be able to tell the difference between it and many Rantburgers' typical commentary.

You can also have a male-chauvinism variable that indicates the likelihood of any given person using "pussies" as a reference to cowardice and "balls" as a reference to bravery. Extra points go to those who don't hesitate to award honorary balls to brave women.

#55 back on topic, somehow. You (and I don't doubrt the rest of Europe) aren't really askeered of an enhanced range Iranian missile actually putting a Nuke in Rome or Paris or Berlin or Athens. I have no doubt you're probably correct. The Iranians will use the existence and POSSIBLE use as leverage in all future talks/power discussions. They will actually send it to Israel, and sneak one against a US base, if possible, but they know Europe will roll over and play dead if threatened only...

Good news, you'll be a dhimmi bitch for Shias instead of wahhabis...

I was the only one (possibly in the whole highschool, judged from the signature-gatherers' surprise) who around the same time refused to sign a protest petition demanding the withdrawal of American troops from Bosnia.

I was the only one in my university who in debate opposed the students joining in protests against Clinton when he came to visit, knowing that the supposed "anti-imperialists" we'd be marching alongside with would be merely anti-American fascists instead.

I am proud of all of the above, even as I'm proud of e.g. my current opposition of the usage of torture against innocents. Your mockery about my willingness to confront fascism, just like Frank's mockery of the same, is a stain on the mockers, not on me.

Now, I have to sleep soon, so this was my last post in this thread. Nimble, my petition in #52 for aid in restoring my respect for Frank is sincere. If you have any ideas let me know.

Cheers.

#60 I've no great love (or respect) for the Euros (excepting TGA, JFM, and other R'burgers), but to paraphrase Churchill, if Iran attacked Hell, I'd at least write My Congressman to make a speech in favor of the Devil.

#61 While the specifics of diplomacy usually elude me (I am, by nature, a confrontational creature), it would seem that the Euro's are employing/carrying "a lazy man's load," one that is purposefully too big to actually be carried-- thus, he hopes someone else will bear the burden: and the new contract goes to...The Evil Zionist Moooooving Company!!! Congratulations, Guys (don't scratch the furniture).

#63 Another Iranian provocation. Another Arisified thread. Let's just face it...

Iran will, at the very least, have to be decapitated.

The U.S. and/or Israel will have to do it. I expect that it will occur before spring so as to minimize winter oil supply problems this year and next.

The European contribution, to save face in light of their total impotence, will be condemnation of Bush and Israel.

The economy will be messed up, but trivially compared to an Iranian nuclear attack on the U.S.

Europe and China will throw hissy fits over oil interruptions.

Ali Larijani's future will be, at best, the same as Baghdad Bob's.

In a kneejerk reaction, the WOT-ignorant in the U.S. will elect a Democrat to the presidency in 2008, but not one of the jerks that's already running.

That's it -- I'm depressed. Thanks for nothing, Jimmy Carter. I sure hope the next Democratic president does a helluva better job than you did.

#64 well, well! I'm actually going to defend Aris on this one. What is the world coming to?

Aris: while I will admire your willingness to break from the herd - the fact that YOU were THE ONLY ONE who did those things says volumes about the reasons Americans lack respect for, dare I say it, "European values" - a loose term which beg you, in the spirit of the fact that I am agreeing with you - to use your intelligence to understand what I mean by that term, so that I can spare Fred's bandwidth of 5,000,000 words explaining exactly what I mean by "European values" - solely for the purpose that you don't come back arguing semantics over the term.

#65 wow RD! I thought it was 'bout me....LOL


I stand by prediction (similar to others) that the US and Israel will do th enasty work suffer biching and sniping from Euro-pussies, and ultimately endure. I hope the majority population of Iran is able to pick up the pieces, hang the turbans, and make a prosperous nation. Iran has the assets, opportunity and educated populace to make the first world....

#70 Vince, dear, Frank G. is going on 2 meters tall, with body mass to match, and a countryboy engineer to boot. I don't know if you've run across many engineers in your life, but they tend to be blunt-spoken, simple souls. All they really require from those around them is the same competence they demand from themselves, and are therefore often disappointed. I honestly don't think you would enjoy your encounter, no matter how much you've grown to dislike him. Such men tend to have acquired competency in the kind of male-male interaction you desire, and like a bigger hammer, do not hesitate to apply as they perceive to be the appropriate tool for the situation.

Not to warn you off, or to protect Mr. G, but to give you the information you need to properly assess the most appropriate course.

Oh, and next time, could you post such comments to Frank G's email? I find physical threats to be singularly uniformative and uninteresting. Of course, I'm not male, which may have something to do with it. Thanks ever so.

#72 Make it an even 70 comments.
I didn't respond earlier as it is too predictable.

Look the Mad Mullah's have at least 3 tactical nukes they bought from the ex-soviet republic's criminals in the 90s. They likely don't work anymore but they can sure model new ones after them.

Only thing is you would want to test before using and if you test you want a lot on missiles ready to fire - so they need to have a full wave ready before they test. Also, no reason to test until they are ready to use. That means ready to do major damage.

So they buy time futzing with the Eu-Niks until they first all out attack wave is completed.
Then a quick test followed by Allah's mandated launch against Jews, Christians, Pagans and all ...
It will be a impressive first wave for a 2-bit shithole followed by H-Bombs turning Iran into Glass. Hopefully the H-Bombs will be followed by planes with hydrofluoric acid to dope the amorphous glass that was Iran and make it a giant solar cell.

#84 3dc hit on something I have been pondering as well. The Mad Mullahs need a test. Once they test they know a count down clock to their anhillation will start.

Will there be enough time for Ahmadinejad to claim that he is the Mahdi?

#87 ok...right after this I'm going to hit the tip jar - just as soon as I find my cc - for wasting so much bandwidth. If not tonight - tomorrow I promise! But I have to say it...I just can't help myself.

Isn't it strange - how Frank and I tick off Aris and then as soon as he goes to bed, this new poster Vince, suddenly comes to town, guns blazing, with all the arrogance of Aris to talk about how we are not worthy to be on rantburg?

It's like a wierd parallel universe of Aris. neeneeneenee - neeneeneenee

#89 What's weird, from what I can tell - this is one massive pile of, uh, um, thread - is Vince got a burr under his saddle and I don't really see why. If he's lurked and such as claimed, then he'd know this is a normal Arisified thread, which is why I left RB, today.

As for his locale, I used to live in Euless Useless. H-E-B, the mid-cities betwixt Dallas and Foat Wurth. Hell, to establish my bona-fides, I held the record for the number of licks (that's whacks on the ass with a paddle - invariably named the Board of Education - for you New Age lillies) in a year at South Euless Elementary - I broke 100 in the 3rd grade. I was the regional Spelling Bee champ in the 4th, though you wouldn't know it from my RB posts. And Vince, I lived just off Pipeline Rd when it was in the stix and found a silver fox pup, which I turned over to the Forrest Part Zoo in Ft Wurth, lol. Good enough for ya? Last time I was there was about 25 yrs ago.

But we said "git" all the time. And ponds were called tanks. And sheee-it was our favorite word - before we learned some of that truly nuclear stuff.

What got you so bent out of shape? I can't see it.

Frank loves Aris and Aris loves Frank - in that bloggy adversarial in-your-face sorta way. They are therapeutic for each other, lol.

I've retired, more or less. Aris can come back and make the usual hash of threads if he wants to. Obviously The Mods have forgotten why they banned his ass once upon a time.

I haven't. I don't much care to waste my time with him, anymore.

You need a longneck Shiner, Jax or a Pearl or something. Chill, dude.

#90 Just remembered something else - the Principal at SE Elem was AJ Sales. Soupy, to us, of course. And he had this huge college ring he used to nervously twist all the time. We figured it was because he couldn't wait to git to work whacking us.

We were right.
