Verbosities

Neopartisan and Thoroughly Amateur


This may focus on Ghouliani, but this kind of talk comes from nearly all of our ignorant and corrupt politicians.

Bloomberg.com: Politics
Sept. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani threatened to put Iran ``back five years'' if the Islamic Republic gets close to developing nuclear weapons.

`I believe the U.S. and its allies should deliver a very clear message to Iran,'' Giuliani told reporters today during a visit to London to deliver a lecture and meet with U.K. leaders. `They are not going to be allowed to become a nuclear power. It is just not going to happen.''
So let's go ahead and re-visit the most recent IAEA findings.

Article IV (1): These modalities cover all remaining issues and the Agency [meaning IAEA] confirmed that there are no other remaining issues and ambiguities regarding Iran's past nuclear program and activities.

Article IV (3): The Agency's delegation is of the view that the agreement on the above issues shall further promote the efficiency of the implementation of safeguards in Iran and its ability to conclude the exclusive peaceful nature of the Iran's nuclear activities.

Article IV (4): The Agency has been able to verify the non-diversion of the declared nuclear materials at the enrichment facilities in Iran and has therefore concluded that it remains in peaceful use.

This doesn't matter though. These people are hot for more war, and Iran is part of the plan. Hence the headlines denouncing Iran for pledging self-defense, as such things aren't allowed.

Update: I just read Glen Greenwald, who addresses the same in his post from earlier today.

Plainly, the last thing most Americans want is for the U.S. to expand its involvement in Middle East wars, particularly when doing so is on behalf of the interests not of the U.S., but of another country. Yet here is Giuliani advocating that we do exactly that -- embrace an obviously radical strategy opposed by the overwhelming majority of Americans, likely vehemently opposed -- and the silence is deafening.
