    So a determinist stating every act is not orchestrated by God. This just keeps getting better and better!

    ...and it's "Every act taken by Israel...", not every act. If you're going to rail, quote it right. The idiocy of it is Israel is beyond reproach, they can do no wrong, and you better not criticize them or God is going to get you.

    Utter stupidity and heresy.

    On 3 March 2015 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came before the U.S. Congress and once again painted a false picture of Iran and its ambitions. His vision was both apocalyptic and simplistic: the state of Iran is evil and the source of most of the aggression and terrorism in the Middle East; it is eternally hostile to the West and it aims at the destruction of Israel; the West, with the United States leading the way, must stop this evil regime before it gains the capacity to use nuclear weapons.

    He has been saying this for at least twenty five years, and like the false prophecies predicting the end of the world, the alleged catastrophe never seems to occur. Iran never seems to come up with a nuclear bomb. However, Netanyahu never stops predicting it.

    The truth is that the actions and motives Netanyahu assigns to the Islamic Republic are factually wrong. Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons, has not carried on weapons research of this nature in over a decade, and is willing to commit itself to an inspections regime that will keep track of its good intentions in this regard. This stance is attested to by nearly every Western intelligence agency, and the Israeli intelligence organizations as well.

    I think we are going to find this out perhaps even before Obama packs his bags and leaves the WH. I really do hope you are right poncho, really.

    This time there is evidence to the contrary, Iran has a patience we don't understand in the west. If they themselves don't make it, their yellowcake (which they HAVE ADMITTED making) will probably end up in N. Korea.
    The clincher IMO will be Iran with an ICBM capacity made a reality.

    Someone is going to DO IT.

    To be forthright, personally I have asked myself , who are we, the people with the greatest inventory of WMD on the face of God's green earth to tell another sovereign nation they can't have any themselves.

    We, the only nation to have actually used nuclear devices in actual war and disintegrated almost 200,000 men women and children with two A-bombs in three day (and yes it ended a war which could have gone on for another 5-10 years and saved our nation).

    Nuclear War: It's like a bad dream, a nightmare from which you awake only to realize its not only a nightmare its a reality.

    To date Russia has the largest H-bomb as far as we know - the 60 megaton "Tsar Bomba" one of which would create a blast hole 34 miles across of total annihilation.

    That would have the potential to destroy the human population of the NYC Metro area.

    Think about it.

    Thank God there is a God.
    Thank God He hears prayer.

    Iran has done what it's accuser has refused to do. Iran signed the NPT and has said it will let inspectors in to do their job.

    Could be what "Bibi" fears most is that all his dire predictions and fear mongering will truly be exposed if negotiations end up putting inspectors to work in Iran.

    At this point I'm more concerned with how Russia is going to act if Washington keeps pushing it into a corner. Russia unlike Iraq, Libya, Syria and Iran has a military capable of putting us in a world of hurt now. But the idiots in Washington just keep pushing it and pushing it and pushing it.

    IMO You are so correct poncho but Iran could be the match that lights the bucket of fusion gasoline.

    Even the UN inspector says Iran is lying and not cooperating.

    Disagree. IMO, Iran is stable compared to Pakistan.

    Pakistan’s Nukes – the truth that cannot be ignored

    "...Does Pakistan face potential outsider threats to its nuclear arsenal? The answer is in the affirmative. In August 2012, militants attacked Pakistan’s most heavily protected Minhas nuclear air base at Kamra. Earlier, the base was consecutively attacked thrice in 2007, 2008 and 2009. In May 2011, a small team of insurgents stunned the world by launching an attack on the Mehran naval air base. These incidents are a sinister pointer to the terrorists’ determination to hit at Pakistan’s most sensitive installations and target its military capability. These trends pose significant threats to the security of Pakistani nuclear weapons and the sites housing nuclear materials....."

    What Is Yellowcake, Anyway?
    Milled uranium oxide, yours for $10.90 a pound.

    "...yellowcake, the stuff is by no means a rare commodity. Worldwide production is currently around 64,000 tons per year, and that's sure to rise as Central Asian nations like Kazakhstan begin to expand their uranium-mining industries. (By comparison, about 45,000 tons of tungsten, vital to the steel industry, is produced annually.) The competition has depressed yellowcake prices just a tad in recent months; a pound now costs about $10.90, down a dime from what it was trading for this spring...."

    Your source has drowned in the kool aide. So he just lies. And you fall for it.

    Amazing for one who prides himself on his investigative abilities.

    So enlighten us to the truth, impress us with your great investigative skills, oh wise one. Instead of your usual smears and slanders, build your case, lay some facts out there for us to sink our teeth into.

    I would expect an investigative genius like Poncho to know that Mossad agrees 100% with Netanyu. They just differ on the time table.

    But I know you have also drowned in the Kool aide. Poncho usually doesn't.

    Don't hold your breath. You think you know me, but you don't. Pathetic little men make the kind of statements being aimed in my direction! It is you that should apologize, but, I am not holding my breath for that to happen! :laugh:
