Right. Iraq bombed Israel without provocation. Could you imagine if on 9/12/2001 Saudi Arabia asked the USA to not retaliate and let them take care of it? Pretty much what we asked of Israel.

It was defending the border. Had they not attacked, they would still be alive. Do you not see it? The Palestinians DO NOT WANT PEACE. They want Israel destroyed. Israel left Gaza, and left behind many good greenhouses that could have provided food and jobs to the locals. The Palestinians smashed them to bits! Just because the Israelis built them! That's right, they would rather be hungry than take food from Israel.
They get no sympathy from me, and never will.

Hussein was a psycho, but for a long while he was our psycho. Until he decided to accept Euro's, for crude and start an African gold backed currency.
France was building the reactor in Iraq. Are you familiar with "Stuxnet"?https://www.wired.com/2014/11/countdown-to-zero-day-stuxnet/
I don't know how, or if Hussein planned to use radioactive material against anyone or not? I think it was just a threat because, there is a huge difference in centrifuging radioactive material [from a nuke plant] from 5% to 20%, which is the border for medical grade radioactive material, than there is in centrifuging radioactive material from 20% to over 90% for weapons grade material.
I don't know if Iraq had any centrifuges? But I have read that Iran only hand centrifuges that were capable of spinning material up to medical grade at 20%.
Israel and all 17 of our defense agency's, and the IAEA all agree, neither Iran nor Iraq had the weapons grade material, and all agree it would take years to spin up enough material, after fabricating the centrifuges. Meanwhile Israel is the only country in that part of the world that refuses to sign the non nuclear proliferation treaty. Estimates say that Israel has 300 nuclear bombs.
Thanks to the US and Israel infecting and destroying Iran's devices, Iran now has that weapons grade computer virus. They also have our highest tech drones. Got to be careful what we wish for.

Cool, pass that on to duffman.
Quote:but, it can be inferred from what you said about it not being a good idea - if that is not what you meant, then I would appreciate it if you could elaborate on your statement
I gave a fairly succinct reply already before you asked.
Reasons: "It gave us nothing we didn't already have. It gave us nothing we needed."
Result: " Just ginned up a bunch of unrest."
Note I never blamed the Israelis for the response of the Palestinians, but you have to be a dullard to not know what will happen, and if you know what will happen why the hell did we not least get anything useful out that bargaining chip instead of just throwing it away? Aside from that, there are still 80 embassies in Tel Aviv and there will now be TWO in Jerusalem. Big whoop, It was about as unnecessary as dirt on dirt. This is why I called Trump no genius.
Note: I'm not prejudging the Palestinians either -- just wait for the facts
1) The protesters were warned not to try to violate the border fences. What would you say was their objective?Quote: petroglyphI have no problem with Israel defending itself either, but this was murdering protesters. Bring back the two state solution, no way to say who trespassed if border lines won't be defined. Talk about moving goalposts.
2) As noted above, the "border lines" could not be further delineated unless they were U.S.-style 30-foot-high structures.
What did they spend it on?
Quote:Greg Jenkins, who oversaw George W. Bush's 2005 inaugural committee, was similarly perplexed about how Trump's committee could have spent $107 million on inaugural events. "It’s inexplicable to me," he told ProPublica. "I literally don’t know. They had a third of the staff and a quarter of the events and they raise at least twice as much as we did. So there’s the obvious question: Where did it go? I don’t know."

Israel was attacked by Iraq without provocation and we convinced them to not retaliate. I stand by the statement. Iraq was making major weapons to attack Israel, who was not threatening Iraq.
Quote:France was building the reactor in Iraq. Are you familiar with "Stuxnet"?https://www.wired.com/2014/11/countdown-to-zero-day-stuxnet/
Stuxnet had to do with Iran in the 2000s, not Iraq.

Hussein's history shows he surely would have used atomic weapons had he had them. He attacked 4 neighbor countries over his reign, all unprovoked. Now, a bomb and a weapon are two different things. The later is harder to make, but the former is a first step.
Correct, Israel is the only country not to sign the NPT. She is also the only country that the UN regularly condemns after BEING attacked. A very special case.
Quote:Thanks to the US and Israel infecting and destroying Iran's devices, Iran now has that weapons grade computer virus. They also have our highest tech drones. Got to be careful what we wish for.
The beauty of Stuxnet is that it was set to self-destruct at a certain time to minimize or prevent this. It also helped destroy the Iranian program without a shot being fired. Sure, they can rebuild, but even a 10 year delay is a good thing.
Quote: billryanSo a delay of ten years is a good thing, but the pact that delayed them getting a bomb for ten years is a bad thing?
