Yes, this has to be a "world faces......" sort of thing.

But Europe will continue to cower.

Nice - I'm sure the families of the dead British troops in Iraq will appreciate that one.

That's ofcourse what I meant.

"I am with him ... in thought" :lol:

Gotta feel aweful to be American or Jew these last 3 decades.
This may sound sarcastic, but you know better than that. I want Europe, Australia, USA (and Turkey and India can play along as well) to put the squeeze on Iran and make the inevitable attack a feelgood 'brothers in arms' kind of event :arrgh!:

If China and Russia would protest: Screw 'em. We can do without them !

Darn, you're right. What a waste of good lives with that attitude.

Turkey calls nuclear power its "utmost priority"

In Short:

Turkey is reviving its plans to build new nuclear power plants. Meanwhile, Iran is considering shifting parts of its own controversial nuclear activities to Turkish soil.


Darm Europe is too close for comfort if you ask me.

A war is not going to take place. That's what i believe. They may again try the Russian proposal. But if Iran is adamant, then sanction will be placed on them. With each passing day Iran will get weaker and weaker. And then they will strike. But the main concern is the bomb. If putting sanction is preventing them from going ahead in the nuclear field, then that is the best method. And even after the sanction they are developing nuclear weapons, strke can be called.

Iran has seen the UN's impotence all too clear with N-Korea and will forge ahead until stopped decisively. All else is an utter waste of good time, only profitable for politicians and news media.

Even an infant can see the Iranian president is a lunatic in the Saddam category.

Obviously it was not my intent to include those whose 24x7 lives are anything but cowering. And that goes for the living and the brave just the same.

Stop making such absurd assuumptions from a single sentence comment on a game forum, for heavens sake! :roll:

Yet, I do not equate Tony Blair's current diplomatic and political manouvers and those of the UK government as being describable as brave. But so far, the UK pretty much bests anything the continent has to offer.

Iran even blatantly admits it - behind closed doors, of course.

And to think they gave the IAEA's conniver a Nobel Prize. :nope:

From the article:

"From the outset, the Americans kept telling the Europeans, 'The Iranians are lying and deceiving you and they have not told you everything'. The Europeans used to respond, 'We trust them'," he said.

Totally shameful and of a high Chamberlain (*)degree (peace for our time), but what can you expect from a bunch of wimpy diplomats who are given the VIP treatment and are all pampered into mental submission ? Spineless fairies each and everyone of them.
PS Lady, rest assured: we know where you stand, never mind the teasing ;)

Quote: My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time.


Chamberlain is perhaps the most ill-regarded British Prime Minister of the 20th century, largely because of his policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany regarding the abandonment of Czechoslovakia to Hitler at Munich in 1938.

WTH do they teach those diplomats in history classes ? To fornicate ?

Some things never change. :nope:

Even if they want to fly over Iraq first they have to fly over Saudi Arabia or Jordan, or Syria. Another way is to go through Turkey and attack Iran.

If we see any attack by Israel, then it will be by using Ballastic Missiles or Cruise missiles fired from ships or subs.

And if the U.S is doing it, they can do a Iraq on Iran. They can enter Iran from Iraq, Afghanistan, Turkey and send carrier battle groups to the Arabian sea and the Persian Gulf.

Uhhhh are you familiar with In-flight Refueling? The IAF once attacked terrorist targets in Tunisia believe it or not. My rough estimates say that could get them over the Black Sea, if they top off their tanks their they can fly over Georgia and Armenia (or Turkey but I assume the others have less of an air defense that could harass them) and hit their targets in northern Iran then egress back the same way and get another fill up and head for home. If each of the F-16s or F-4s are armed with the minimum of ordnance (no more than 1 or 2 bombs) it should be possible, F-15s can provide the air cover so the larger AAMs are unnecessary. Hell they could even fly one way and ditch over the ocean and be picked up by a ship or submarine. The word ‘impossible’ has no meaning to the IAF.
