Bassnation: come on mr padraig - he was only asking for our opinions!
Omaar said:Padraig - there's no need to be so glib and patronising.
I think it's reasonable to ask whether now, in terms of strategy, would be the best time for the anti war movement to introduce a debate on invading iran, in terms of the way this would interact with how things are currently being spun in the media. Anyway, the way things are being spun in the last week has turned markedly anway, with the coverage given to Bolton's remarks for instance - so perhaps the timing is almost right.
How you hypothetically extend my line of reasoning is sort of illogical anyhow.
Padraig said:WHAT are you talking about? "Our opinions" - what are those - parasitic - entities? Opinions on what? Iran is about to be fucking invaded by US state-terrorists, and THIS is all you have to contribute?
It is you here who is being outrageously glib and patronising - and hopelessly reckless. Don't you know anything about Iran, and what the US is doing there, and the global implications?
I was going to provide yet another update on the US' latest plans and manoeuvres regarding Iran, a replica to the leadup to the Iraqi invasion of 3 years ago (this time with the added advantage of there being NO ANTI-WAR MASS PROTESTS WHATSOEVER, no Feb 2003), but, hey, I'm wasting my time HERE.
So go back to fucking sleep

Droid said:Have to say thats one of the ugliest and arrogant posts Ive seen on here in the last year or so.
Droid said:No its not. For the reasons outlined in the many posts above, and because the Bush administration hasnt suddenly developed suicidal tendencies. Thats not to say that all attempts to 'normalise' official hostility to Iran should be resisted, but I dont think sanctimonius and sensationalist bullying is the way to change peoples minds....
Droid said:Oh ironies of ironies. If youre such a genius, why dont you go all out and give us your date for the invasion then? Spring/Summer seems to be a good bet . Scott Ritter said the invasion would come in June last year, this thread is about an invasion happening right now - but summer 07 is free... - you want to take it? Put some money behind that big mouth of yours?
Its all about LIC at this stage, not large scale military action.... thought you might have known that...
Droid said:Oh nooo! Please Padraig, please impart your precious knowledge to us ignorami, because nobody here has a clue, and we're just a bunch of fools blindly following the whims of the mass media and the 'racist establishment'... Perhaps this place: http://www.infowars.com/ would be more you kind of thing? No New world Order Schills to disagree with you there...
Tell me - does it hurt your neck, having to converse with us lowly mortals from your lofty heights?
Droid said:Ah, the befuddled, arrogant and impotent cliche of the conspiracy theorist... wondered when youd come out with that classic. Tells us more about your attitude to politics and other people, and, might I add, your failure to engage and convince than it does about this board...
Ive got an idea - why not post up a few more pretty pictures? After all, if no-one knows what youre on about, no-one can say that youre wrong...
bassnation said:padraig, this is extremely rude and ill-tempered.
bassnation said:i agree with a lot of your posts and for the most part you are preaching to the converted. its belligerance and hostility like this that is the root of most of mankinds problems.
bassnation said:if you are unable to discuss these things in a civil manner then maybe we shouldn't bother. i have better things to do with my time than get involved in flame wars.
... All of the articles I've read, by some of the world's leading geo-political analysts and commentators, take a very different position...
...All the evidence comes from published and official sources. Next you'll be claiming that Chomsky (your ostensible "hero") is a conspiracy nut, like the paranoid Zionists luv to shout out.
along with their "sanctimonius and sensationalist bullying" which has indeed changed peoples' minds ...
...BTW, I don't hold much faith in your research abilities, unable to source Craner's political affiliation. Interesting how he neither confirmed nor denied such affiliation (very Rumsy), while you tried to downplay it ...
Padraig said:This is indeed comic.

Yes...Blair threatens Iran with...the UN Security Council!
Uh, that's a bit different to nuclear bombs.
Face it, Hotflush is right, the premise of this thread is only slightly less absurd than you responses.
Any contact with diplomatic and geopolitical reality would quickly disabuse you of the notion that the US can actively consider any preemptive strike, let alone nuclear.
Where would they strike? Do you know how many suspected nuclear sites there are in Iran? (Hint: lots.)
It's also absurd that you worry more about a non-existant US nuclear attack than the very real prospect of Iran's imminent nuclearisation.
It also reminds me of Seymour Hersh and Scott Ritter's scoop about the US plans to attack Iran in June.
Last June!!
Oops, that didn't go very well, did it?
WHAT are you talking about? "Our opinions" - what are those - parasitic - entities? Opinions on what? Iran is about to be fucking invaded by US state-terrorists, and THIS is all you have to contribute? "Let's express our opinions about whether we should even discuss it ...???"

"in terms of strategy": WHAT strategy? Surely you mean - disavowed - fantasy?
"best time for the anti war movement": WHAT best time? WHAT anti-war movement?
Listen, the US have been actively planning to invade [already well begun] Iran for over a year, but you'd like to wait until the racist establishment media announce it "officially" before Shouting Off and Acting Out ...

So go back to fucking sleep ...... Rage Incorporated ...
its crazy how john kerry and the group of five countries and iran might win a nobel peace prize now.
