"material appears to come from a SINGLE source: a laptop computer, allegedly "supplied to the I.A.E.A. by a Western intelligence agency, whose provenance could not be established"
the same intelligence agency, whose provenance could not be established claims that Iraq tried to purchase 'yellowcake' uranium from Niger ...
Everyone knows that ONLY the "BEST" Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations in the World could come with such smart trick like a single "laptop" full of details and plans re Iranian Nuclear Bomb.
Obama/Clinton lie, people die.
IAEA should act/go where the nuclear bombs (200+) really are - to Israel.

IAEA should act/go where the nuclear bombs (200+) really are - to Israel.
Activista,
The positivity of this statement clarifies like no other. We're living in the proverbial house of cards, built on the duality of self-serving lies. Even Hillary is working on it. It can't stand. -- "where the bombs really are" -- Israel, the USA --

How has Obama lied on this issue? I would like specific lies to be quoted before I believe that.

Cheney, in my opinion, is the most evil person in the world, given his past access to WMDs and his naked pursuit of global domination. If Iran SHOULD build a nuclear bomb (we've built tens of thousands and are still building) they will be confronted by nations with many more than they have, and face annihilation in 30 minutes--POOF! It's all posturing, but our politicians need to create terror to get any traction. Where is it written we're wise enough to avoid suicide?

The most important rule in determining foreign policy is to put national interest above all else. This is NOT being done and has not been done for decades. The middle east policy has only considered what is important to Wall Street in general and the oil companies in particular. The rise or fall of any of those countries including Israel should not be allowed to affect us or determine ourdestiny nor is it our responsibility to determine theirs. That is the last thing they want as we should have learned from the Iraq debacle.

"Truth is treason in the empire of lies." -- Ron Paul

Only Ron Paul, of all the presidential candidates of both major parties, has repeatedly spoken out clearly and forcefully against the belligerent war propaganda and calculated lies in the bipartisan lead up to war with Iran, against the bipartisan campaign for punitive sanctions against Iran, and against further covert operations to destabilize the fragile geopolitical situation in the Mideast. He is not afraid to speak truth to power.

The principled constitutionali st and nonintervention ist Paul was right from the start about our disastrous preemptive imperial wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, right from the start about the destructive 'blowback' fomenting more hatred directed towards America, right from the start about the Federal Reserve's monetary policies creating the housing bubble which led to the 2008 financial meltdown, right from the start about the War on Drugs, the USA Patriot Act and the TSA imposing a fascist police state upon the American people.

Ron Paul 2012.

Right Then.

Right Now.

Right For America.

It is a monumental and astounding hypocrisy for anyone to get all puffed up in a sabre-rattling fit about Iran maybe, MAYBE, developing a nuclear bomb. Israel was the first nation in that region to start a nuclear weapons program, and there is a long and documented history of their program and their facility at Dimona. They have been aided and supplied by the French and the British in the construction of nuclear weapsons since the 1950s and 60s. Their nuclear weapons capacity has been growing ever since that period, and Jane's Defence Weekly has recently estimated (see 2010 article) that Israel has at least 100 nuclear bombs and as many as 300.

Israel could incinerate Iran in a matter of minutes, if it chose to. It's long past time to get real and get honest about what's really going on. All of this crap about Iran is just one more part of the great game strategy for capture and control of petro resources in the middle-East. To get a full understanding of that strategy, one need only read Noam Chomsk'y discussion of the Kennan doctrine (PPS 23, 1948). QED.

One last comment: Intrepid investigative reporter, Gareth Porter, has revealed that the so-called intelligence on Iran's nuclear weapons development is fake. Read his article on the issue at Antiwar.com. Deja vu all over again, a la Colin Powell's b.s. presentation at the UN.

Cheney and his ilk are in a habitual state of salivation over any prospect that Iran might be attempting to create a nuclear weapon. Any verification of such a program would be a Cheney's wet dream rather than a "nightmare."

I am perhaps a bit naive or simplistic in my foreign policy views...but SO WHAT if Iran is developing such a program?
It seems they have a right to defend themselves against the possibility of Israeli or American "intervention." It seems to me a nuclear program by them is a sane thing to do. Wasn't it Hussein's intention to not deny that Iraq might have WMD'S as a defense tactic? But an Iraq or Iran is, ultimately, in a lose/lose situation since even a fabrication of alleged nuclear program is all that is needed for us to let the bombs fall.

for responsible countries, like America and Israel, nukes are "second strike" weapons. the nukes on our subs are just that, a warning that if you attack, mutual destruction is assured. MAD is the term they use. Russia knew that and so does China, North Korea, and Iran. If Iran really had the bomb, would they give it to terrorists? Logically, the CIA would connect the dots soon enough, and radio our sub fleet to wipe Iran off the face of the Earth. With so many countries, like India and Pakistan who hate each other, with nukes, how come they haven't used them? MAD....That is the only reason. Israel has a right to defend itself. Woody Allen said it best, " Jews have a right to be paranoid, because the whole world is trying to kill us."
