I don?t think killing him is a good solution. Replace the devil you know with the devil you don?t know, not a good idea.

he doesn't have terrorist friends. his boss might, but he doesn't.

I think that distinction is irrelevant to the scope of their response. Moreover, what is the assertion here, is it one of innocence?

it's not irrelevant, jackalass... it's a response telling john not to be careless in his assessment of who has the terrorist friends.

YOUR question to ME is the irrelevant one.

He's part of the Iranian government. The Iranian government itself is a czar of terrorism from Hezbollah in Lebanon to the Taliban in Pakistan. Trying to distance the President from that is irrelevant to the subject. Whether it?s Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who commands them will not change their response.

Moreover, what basis do you have for saying he isn?t friends with radicals? He himself is one.

The Taliban are Sunni and have no influence from the Iranians, if anything, they are supported through Pakistan ISI and Saudi Arabia (who helped get them in power the first place). Likewise, the "reports" of Iran supporting Al Qaeda are also false, as Al Qaeda are hardcore Sunni/Wahhabis who are opposed to Shias/Iran.
There are factions out of eastern Iran who are supporting the Taliban near Kandahar... and they're certainly not Saudis.

if you're talking about private funders, as in some shop owner or something, i'd believe it. aside from that, bullshit.

That is what got Saddam into trouble by not opening up all the books.

Impossible. Lefties here swear the IAEA and the great Baradei are superb inspectors who are given access at will to anything and everything...They can't possibly hide anything from the inspectors!

Who else can know more than the IAEA? Nobody.
you're kidding, right? I can name several US agencies, usually written with three letters each, that can, and do, know more than the IAEA.

We're the ones who found Iran's nuclear sites in the first place. Until then they remained secret.

Nuclear Sites and Nuclear Weapons Programs are very different things.
"very" different? not quite...

uh, yeah they are. nuclear power plants (called "sites") are different than nuclear weapons facilities.

Savages.

oh, you poor, poor, ignorant dipshit.

1, you have no basis for saying that
2, iranians like americans... they wouldn't dance in the streets and certainly wouldn't have a national holiday for an assassination
3, they are NOT savages and that's a very fucking derogatory thing to say
4, the only savage is the butthole who created a thread praising blackwater mercenaries for being efficient in murdering innocent people

where the hell is the proof of that?

and ahmadinejad doesn't control shit. just stfu... seriously. you're just talking out of your ass again.

Iranian weapons in Taliban hands has been news all over the place. Do you only listen to what you like to hear?

I never said he "controlled shit". Why do you spout that crap by which you make me your strawman?

i bet alot of russian and chinese weapons have too but noone wold care about that. I bet even american and other western weapons show up there for people with the money. Its not like we've never sold guns to terrorists.
