Kuwaitis dont want a bully with nkes

LONDON - Gulf states believe Israel will destroy Iran's nuclear programme rather than allow it to acquire an atomic bomb, an adviser to the Kuwaiti government and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) said on Tuesday.

If Iran did build the bomb, said adviser Sami Alfaraj, then the Jewish state might be one of the countries -- along with the United States and Pakistan -- Gulf Arab nations would ask to provide a "nuclear umbrella" to guarantee their security.

He is not hypocrite. He's just under tremendous pressure from the top level not to engage in any diplomacy with Iran and Syria. These countries are jealous & do not like us because of our democracy & freedom.

According to 'Reporters Without Borders' Iran continues to be the largest prison for the press in the Middle East, and in the organization's annual estimation on freedom of the press in the world in 2007 Iran ranks as number 166 out of 169 total countries.

What "Iranian nuclear problem"? IAEA has confirmed there is no evidence of military side to Iran's nuclear program. Why is Israel not subject to checks?

[GDI109]

so? to these people it has nothing to do with nuclear weapons, as long as there is any form of nuclear program in iran, even if it is 100% civilian and peaceful there will be an "iranian nuclear problem". then again its not so much of a "nuclear problem" as much as its a "our potential enemy can actually defend itself if we bully it" problem.

[austpers]

Time will show that Israel is your 'potential enemy' not Iran.

[bserusha]

That could be true, it has happened many times. America supported Taliban and Iraq and we ended up going to war with them.

[austpers]

So you want a defenceless victim another words!

[GDI109]

Well of course they want a defenceless victim, it makes life so much easier for them.

[jimiydoorshamelech]

Although most agreed that Iraq was years away from being able to build a weapon, the Iranians and the Israelis felt any raid must occur well before nuclear fuel was loaded to prevent contamination.

Iran attacked and damaged the [Iraqi Osiraq nuclear] site on September 30, 1980 with two F-4 Phantoms, shortly after the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War.[6]

So i guess its okay for Irans Airstrikes against Nuke Plant of a country that threatened its existence (Saddam)...

so why cant Israel??

[austpers]

It was Isreal that attacked it, not Iran. Iran does not have history of attacking anyone since the Greek/Persian wars of 300 BC. or so. Saddam started the 80's war with Iran with US support.

[jimiydoorshamelech]

since the islamic revolution began Irans govt has had a hostile position toward Israel

Outside of Lebanon, Hezbollah has been accused of the 1992 Israeli Embassy attack in Buenos Aires,[92][94] and the 1994 AMIA bombing of a Jewish cultural centre, both in Argentina.[92]

On October 25, 2006, Argentine prosecutors Alberto Nisman and Marcelo Martínez Burgos [2] formally accused the government of Iran of directing the bombing, and the Hezbollah militia of carrying it out.[4][5]

[austpers]

Of course we are hostile to Isreal. It was illegaly created with the aid of UK and US and European problems Jews are mass migrated there. All along killing Palestinaians, displacing them and creating a pressure cooker enviroment for them. Atrocities of Isreal in occpied lands and its disregard for UN resolutions against it are abhorrant.

[GDI109]

roflmao im not even going to bother.

[jimiydoorshamelech]

israel and pakistan havent:

If one day, the Islamic world is also equipped with weapons like those that Israel possesses now, then the imperialists' strategy will reach a standstill because the use of even one nuclear bomb inside Israel will destroy everything. However, it will only harm the Islamic world. It is not irrational to contemplate such an eventuality.

[Friendo1231]

But... but you said back in August of last year you would not be willing to negotiate with enemies of the United States...

Well, well, Mr. McCain, not only are you a hypocrite, but you're also a knavish, two-faced fiend.

[aaliathepowerof1]

I like the notes at the side of the video, and the way you document your sources. Thanks for the vids

[McCainwreck]

McCAINWRECK!!!

[feepo22]

He is so pathetic. He will say ANYTHING to get elected. TWO FACED LIAR

[Hesam0000]

He's not a liar, he's just too old, he forgets what he said yesterday. Just wait till tomorrow and you'll hear him say "No, we would never engage in discussions with Iran" :)) Hillary is the same, goes where the wind blows. And they really think we forgot what they said a month or two back.

[JoeFelice]

There are so many McCain clips out there that only need one thing added to be great campaign commercials.

"I'm Barack Obama and I approved this message."

[WindHarps]

The Democrats should be piling up all these 180-degree turns of McCain's to barrage his campaign and the country with commercials showing what he has become (a sellout puppet).

[dogstar7]

"...when we have discussions with them."

Sounds pretty clear to me that McCain favors discussions with Iran...at least he said he did in 2006.
