Actually, Iran doesn't, without a monitoring program (which Iran isn't in compliance with), in accordance to the NNPT to which Iran is a signatory. If they withdraw from the treaty, as North Korea did. THEN, they can do whatever they want.

No, it's open to propagandizing and fear mongering. According to the IAEA, though, who happen to be the people who've been inpecting Iranian nuclear facilities for decades, there's no debate.

The Saudis do have an opinion.

Yes, but it has nothing to do with Iran's nuclear program.

They are buying nukes from Pakistan.

As for that horse shit cartoon any country has the right to practice the full cycle of nuclea power including enrichment for civilian purposes.

Funny how a link to Friday's Iran Scary Nukular Stuff story precedes this empty-headed cartoon.

The current 'article' tends to confirm the conjecture, offered in my comment in the previous article, that the Iran scare story was the work of "a holiday weekend alternate Tyler who is filling in, keeping the lights on, and watering the plants."

That this cartoon was posted on a Sunday evening indicates it is a jab from the departing replacement Tyler. I wonder if he's the same one that periodically posts articles consisting of broad-brush smears against the US Postal Service. Hopefully things will return to normal when the genuine Tylers* return from Thanksgiving holiday.

Incidentally, in a move which goes beyond the requirements of the recent P5+1 deal, Iran has invited IAEA inspectors to visit the site of the under-construction Arak reactor. As Count Floyd would say, "Scary!"

 

*Note to genuine Tylers: this guy is a third-stringer at best. Surely you can find a better substitute to fill in.

One good thing about Obama, perhaps the only good thing, is that he is not Israel's bitch.   The israeli pemier does not call him up and just tell him what to do like they did with Clinton.   Let the Israelis fight their own war.

Alternate caption:   "You met us over a table.   You will meet  Israel on a battlefield. Enjoy your 72 virgins and say hi to Osama."

If they do "meet Israel on a battlefield" it will be because Israel attacks Iran in a flagrant violation of international law. But what else would be new.

Yes, Iran the bogeyman, the grave threat to planet Earth. That country that-unless I am mistaken-has not made an single act of aggression in oh, say 300 years? Top that with the fact that these folks cannot even refine their own oil or natgas (hence the nuke shortcut THAT 30 SOME YEARS AGO THE SHAH WAS PRAISED FOR STARTING TO PURSUE) but oh yes they will in no short order be able to build a fucking warhead and start lobbing them over to all "the infidels".

Yah, right.

I have to admit it isn't the best deal but you are correct and I have to give the Regime some credit.

Og course why the fuck we didn't just get the damn contact to build the things ourselves thereby killing two birds with one stone and makinga liitle scratch off the deal I will never know. Last time I checked the Russians are point on this thing aaaaaaannnnnnnddddd THEY don't have a great track record with nuclear power. Pretty sure the Frogs and The US are the best at that.

I don't mind leaving these countries to fight their own wars. But at the very least, the invasion of the american embassy was an act of agression. Just because a nutless president of us didn't choose to treat it as the act of war it was does not make it 'non agression'.

Shia or ordinary Sunni do not believe in the 72 virgins lie, this is a wahhabi belief (which has no basis in scripture) promoted by Israel as to demonize islam. The fake Wahhabi (who themselves have a substantial jewish Dönmeh root, see Shabbatai Tzve, fake jewish messiah turned muslim) preachers, bankrolled by Saudi Arabia, have realised that it is a good addition and incitament to the brainwashing of deranged jihadists.

The Persians have survived 30+ YEARS without a Central Banking welfare handout. How is this possible during all the US sanctions? Did they build infrastructure internally opposed to repayment to a debt ledger never to be repaid. Did this country figure out, once you sign the dotted line, you can never recover the initial compounded interest rates to repay the principle? War, famine, terrorism, new regulations and outsourcing the labor to make sure you can’t pay off the note?

If you debate with success and prove a point these professional Israeli Public Relations posters can not find a counter point to, they will use the verbal abuse and racist card. Any news story having to do with Israel will find the comments section trolled by the organized israeli lie lobby. There are several here on ZH, though they change user names so often one must recognize them by their words. Since they read a script, they tend to follow a pattern.

Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons targeted across the Middle East and Europe. It is not yet know if they target United States Cities yet. The leadership has vowed to bring the revenge of their god down upon everyone should they lose a war. This is pretty much known and admitted to by Israeli officials when they have had one too many drinks in them. They also admit their control over the US government policies and even over the US Federal Reserve. For such a samll nation, Israel has powers that can only be explained by a united Jewish world community working for the advance of Israeli policy. How can anyone dispute these simple facts? They can't be disputed so they must call you anti jew. Like I am anti christian because I don't like christian fundamentalist intrusion into political policies in the USA.

Yah.  Are you aware of the Harry Elmer Barnes and his works on Historical Revisionism where he compares and contrasts the "Historical Truth as First Casualty of War" of WW1 v. WW2, where that "school" of historians calls them instead the First Crusade and Second Crusade with "crusade" used instead of "World War ..."?  The most prominent of those were Beard, Chamberlin, and Tansill, all respected academicians who were all first ignored and then smeared.

Barnes refers to their stoges in university history departments and journals and newspapers as the Blackout Boys and "powerful minority advocates" and was afraid to utter the name of their main organization which I have recently referred to here as the Pro-Slander Legion but slippped up and also uttered their real name.  Oh my!

Please check out my recent posts, which include this:

 Same as it ever was. Historical Revisionism of WW1 and WW2 as a battle of valiant truth-Sametelling historians versus the plush OSS/CIA myth-telling “historians” as waged notably by the largely, and very sadly, forgotten Harry Elmer Barnes, 1889–1968. Many brave souls such as he have seen history through the lens of Historical Truth is First Casualty of War and lived to tell the tale, or at least published before their death. Big Mahalo to the CIA for renaming the quaint (and hifalutin) pre-JFK historical revisionism into the much more catchy (and contempo) conspiracy theory.

  1. I've never seen it mentioned anywhere, and am familiar with all the “usual suspect” websites, but there is a most fantastic book in my hands now which might very well be the single most enlightening book I have ever had the pleasure to read. This slim paperback explains, in the post-WW2 period going up to Viet Nam, how an entire generation (and now three?) of historians since 1937 have been brainwashed into mindlessly repeating statist propaganda that is patently false, in order to justify what is usually called The Good War. Barnes explains why WW2 was entirely unnecessary and could have been avoided if Churchill had not succeeded in conniving with FDR to wage war against Hitler on provocation and false pretenses, just as Hiroshima and Nagasaki were unnecessary to win peace with Japan, and just as Wilson's entrance in WW1 was unnecessary … where, in all three cases the U.S. war-making was done even though there was no threat to the domestic national security. Barnes is the most powerful advocate for peace I have ever beheld, yet outside of university history departments seems to be totally unknown, and yet for very good reason, because he exposes most of them as hacks, frauds, and overall tools of interventionist state propaganda. His books and those of the other “revisionists” he summarizes (Beard, Chamberlin, and Tansill) have been suppressed very effectively by what he calls “powerful minority advocacy groups,” which is an obvious reference to the "Pro-Slander Legion," which he seems afraid to name. Honest academic historians have been denigrated as kooks or worse in what he calls the blackout and then the smearout. Historical revisionism has been totally suppressed per what Barnes called The Bible of his then [1950s and 1960s] current times: Nineteen Eighty-Four. Get the below book while you still can! It is well worth any price. Forces of Evil wish it could be eradicated:

    Harry Elmer Barnes, Historical Revisionism: A Key to Peace, and Other Essays, With a Foreword by James J. Martin, CATO Paper No. 12, CATO Institute, San Francisco, CA, 1980.

Best not to argue with Iran defenders/jew haters. But, about the theocracy angle, since the monetary policy being imposed on us by the Fed for the last 100 years takes an amazing amount of faith to believe it works, we are kind of in a theocracy. Being ruled by a bunch of monetary theorists that would have us believe more and more debt and more and more printing is our salvation.

Iran is greener and more beautiful than most geographically ignorant Amerifucks realize.  Iran's people are better looking than the average 200lb. GMO stuffed two-legged pig in this country and far more educated in general (America has more college grads, but what good is that?).

The literacy rate has trippled since the founding of the Islamic republic.  Women are treated with respect as long as they behave.  Should Western sanctions be lifted Iran's economy would beat out all of Eastern Europe and the Balkans in terms of PPP within half a decade. 

If the media did not present such a poor image of Iran tourism would increase over time and Westerners would not be kept ignorant of how beautiful Iran is.  And the joo media wants you kept ignorant.

No matter what one thinks of homosexuals (not a big promoter of it myself but) thats a little extreme to say the least.

Show yourself coward, dispute anything I said.

I'll take the liberty to say, now...yes...I thought you wouldn't...a fucking coward, confronted with truth.

One nation, under God (sounds like a theocracy), currently involved in a War On Drugs, War On Poverty, War On Muslims, War On Other Currencies, War On People Who Disagree, that spies on all of it's citizens communications and has the largest per-capita prison population in the developed world, and the largest income disparity in the developed world ... with the majority of the world's nukes .. and firearms ... and nutters ....

What could possibly go wrong?

The pledge of allegiance was written by a socialist in the interests of nationalism. The addition of God came in the 50's.

I have already said on many occasions I don't recite the pledge, in fact I got in trouble in public school for refusing to say it, even though I do believe in the Christian God.

Your soul is separate from the state.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,

Making you recite the pledge is unconstitutional in my not so humble opinion.

The truly sad part of the coup that removed Mossaddegh is that Iran was well on it's way to becoming the most secular state in the middle east. Democratic elections, higher education for men and women plus a whole raft of progressive changes. It was the US that bolstered support for the Shah by strengthening the Mullahs, who were funded by US intelligence. It was only when the US cut funding to the Mullahs that the 'Islamic Revolution' took place. The Iranian theocracy the USians moan about so ignorantly is entirely of their own government's making.

Iran's tragedy is that are sitting on oil, and the British/Americans think that oil belongs to them because they defeated and disbanded the Ottoman Empire in the first world war. Everything else is political theatre.

US taking it up the arse in Afghanistan and Iraq (and in VietNam) would tend to give the lie to that.

Ditto -

  • France taking it up the arse in Indochina;
  • France taking it up the arse in North Africa (Egypt under Napoleon through to Algeria and Morocco under de Gaulle);
  • Belgium taking it up the arse in the Congo; and
  • Britain taking it up the arse in Afghanistan (1830s - Auckland's Folly and all that, Corky old boy)...

right back to 

  • Rome taking it up the arse at Carrhae when Crassus decided he wanted to take Mesopotamia; and
  • Rome (again) taking it up the arse at the Teutoberger Wald.

 

All of these (and there are hundreds more) are the cases in point: an insurgency with knowledge of the terrain and a willingness to force an invader into a war of attrition, can never lose unless the invader does the whole "Carthago delenda est" bit and commits genocide. Even then, it means the cost-benefit calculus of occupation turns negative almost the moment that decision is made.

Obviously the parasitic cunts at the top of the political class make  out lkike bandits regardless of the direction of any conflict - that's what wars are for (to enrich megalomaniacs and their cronies).

 

But things are way worse for the actual societies on which the Cheneyite scum parasitise: the moment a 'superpower' is known to be incapable of actually enforcing their will, the 'superpower' is fucked and next thing a big hairy barbarian turns up at your gate with a sign saying "Vae Victis". Or worse still, nobody will pay a premium for their bonds.

 

Ask a Pom who was alive in the first dozen years of the 20th century, what it felt like to live through England's decay as a credible world power. (OK, so most of those folks are dead... but some of them wrote memoirs: pick one by a non-politician and see the parallels to Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" or Norwich's "Byzantium").

Israel is the underdog, surrounded by Islam. Everyone likes the underdog.

Now, when their country was created by UN mandate, did the Israelis BUY the land they have or did they steal it? Were the guys there already WILLING sellers?

Well the Jews were buying the land. Then in 1948 the Arabs decided to steal it back. You can look it up.

 

In any case the rule of international law is: if you can hold it it is yours. Otherwise the USA has a lot of returning to do.

the "Arak (Heavy-Water Plutonium [P239]) Nuclear Reactor" is the, 'Thorn in the Rose-Garden?' that everybody seems to step on (like walking on glass shards while barefoot in the garden of utopia) knowing its in plain site? just happens-- but does it mean we/ they can't enjoy the labors of the P5+1 detente?

ARAK is disquieting to the moderate Iranian's to say the least. they don't need it, period! but, to say too the hardliners that Arak will be put in (jmo) animated-suspension, would literally be committing political-suicide for rouhani, khanenei, and zarif!

what russia will do is delay the modification and stall... while time passes-- Arak will have become a non-issue. why? because the fruits of labor for peace and trust with the west will have paid-off handsomely. both sides... all sides, will win... building out iran's vast infrastructure ( iran is huge and their population has diminished dramatically) with all P5+1 getting a piece of the "Peace Dividend".

again,... Arak will continue as if they (iranian's) seem to be taunting the west, with work shortages, and material delays on the facility, but... it will be just show to satisfy the hardliners in iran that can't seem to forget the past and forever mired in self-immolation?!?

jmo 

Ps.  as i've said before,... Obama gets a big "High-Five"-- 'Fist Punch', GRAT's for this once in a lifetime (at least in mine) achievement.

Only moron still thinks Iran deal and tensions about nuclear programm. It is all about oil producing and protection and that is why SA is furrious. As long as Iran is to play US$ game and be #1 oil producer in the world, SA will suck big one, as there is no escape for them with all the US treasures they have on hands.

Guess what.. It will be now time for SA to start selling oil for euros. Once they try to declair it, it will appear that they have nuclear programm as well and sanctions will be imposed immediately or will US accuse SA of child malesting or rape of the whole US?

There is a very simple law to apply: all U.N. resolutions should apply to all countries including Israel.

It is the twisting and turning of the international community trying to evade that difficult confrontation: Israel owning the world's biggest stockpile of  nuclear weapons obtained covertly, illegally. By which Israel practises nuclear blackmail.

President John Kennedy rejected Israel's request for nuclear armament, and he issued an executive order for real silver money in keeping with American tradition, something independent of the international money changers.  And we know what happened to him.

Israeli Mordechai Vannunu is a prisoner of that state, denied his request to move abroad after serving his official prison sentence.

 He was jailed after being kidnapped by Mossad in Paris. That happened after he revealed Israel's secret nuclear program to a British newspaper owned by a zionist, Rupert Murdoch who betrayed his trust.
