    The 'peaceful' Islamo-priests who rule Iran have a new toy....

    Less than two months ago, Iran announced that it had launched a satellite-carrying rocket, and if you can put a payload into Earth-orbit then you can also have it drop down just about anywhere you want.

    Now, with multiple-warheads, you wouldn't even have to be particularly accurate, either....

    Oh, BTW, we are forbidden by that 'agreement;' thing that Idiot Obama and Idiot John Kerry bound us with to inspect ANY site inside Iran that the Iranians unilaterally designate as a "military" site. :spin:

    So, enjoy life while you can... run up your credit cards... buy tons of crap you can't afford. My best guess is that we've got maybe as much as another ten years before most of us are dead....

    I would not be ‘tis pessimistic, and give us at least twenty years. After all, Islamic mullahs are not suicidal... are they?

    Muslim's mullahs? Suicidal? Who knows... sure seems like a lot of them do everything they can to get killed while fighting us "infidels" so that they can go to Islamo-heaven and get to enjoy the famous 'Virgins' and the young boys (I'm not making that up). All I can suggest is that you can read their 'holy books' and scriptures and decide for yourself. After browsing through those writings all I can say is that if they started a thermonuclear war tomorrow afternoon it wouldn't surprise me overly -- so long as they thought it would get them into Islamo-heaven....

    Right now, a lot of them are obsessed with the idea of the appearance of a Muslim 'Messiah' called the "Mahdi" (12th Imam). But, what the hell, it was just fine with Idiot Obama and Idiot John Kerry if people with mentalities like that have wide-open access to nuclear weapons....

    So what is the problem with all this?

    Nope.
    The IAEA has the authority to request access to facilities in Iran, including military ones, if there are new and credible indications of banned nuclear activities there, according to officials from the agency and signatories to the deal.

    I'd rather this doesn't happen, but two things:

    1) Israel could nuke Tehran in a matter of minutes.
    2) We give lots of money and weapons to Saudi Arabia, who are arguably more fanatical about Islam than Iran. Their general population is also known to have more anti-American attitudes than those in Iran.

    Given those two things, I don't see much room to complain about this for the time being.

    Yep.

    From less than a month ago:

    "ANKARA (Reuters) - Iran has dismissed a U.S. demand for United Nations nuclear inspectors to visit its military bases as “merely a dream”.

    It also said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was unlikely to agree anyway.

    The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, last week pressed the IAEA to seek access to Iranian military bases to ensure that they were not concealing activities banned by the 2015 nuclear deal reached between Iran and six major powers.
    "

    If you are simply determined not to "get it", just say so. I can lead horses to water, but if they just roll over and die of thirst, that's on THEM.

    Well the thing is that the IAEA determines where to look for water and to drink, not the USA.
    If people fail to spot that thing, than they indeed die from thirst.

    It is beyond description how the turds obama and john kerry could have possibly allowed the iranians to obtain such a one-sided deal - and as bad as it is, it is only for ten years. For this deal alone I would try, convict and hang both for treason and violating the national security of the US.

    I see that you are still spouting this nonsense. Directly from your link in your nest post:

    Under the deal, the IAEA can request access to Iranian sites including military ones if it has concerns about activities there that violate the agreement, but it must show Iran the basis for those concerns.

    That means new and credible information pointing to such a violation is required first, officials from the agency and major powers say. There is no indication that Washington has presented such information to back up its call for inspections of Iranian military sites.

    Germany, UK, China, Russia and France also all agreed the deal is good.

    How else will Iran protect itself from Israel and the U.S.? Israel is always going on and on about "a right to defend itself." While they sit on a hundred illegal nukes for what, 50 years....

    Yes they can formally request access and Iran has several days to respond which gives them ample opportunity to move incriminating evidence. Some deal that is.

    It takes many more than several days to remove traces of nuclear activity! And you really think that once a site is identified for inspection that not every available satellite will be observing every single movement in and out of that site?

    There's plenty of nuke technology that doesn't leave nuclear traces behind and trucks come and go from these sites all the time. Trucks leaving with evidence are impossible to detect

    And once again I will ask you how anyone, including the IAEA, is going to prove it "has concerns about activities" at military sites if they are FORBIDDEN TO HAVE ANY ACCESS TO MILITARY SITES IN THE FIRST PLACE?! How would they frame their 'request' to the Iranians? By saying that they had a premonition in a bad dream or something...?

    Besides, even if the IAEA "has concerns", the Islamo-Nazi priesthood that rules Iran has already made it crystal-clear (and I have already provides links to this information) that they will REFUSE to allow ANY inspections at Iranian military sites anyway! Now, where the hell does that leave your IAEA 'inspectors'...? Are you really naive enough to think that they would recommend the re-imposition of sanctions? Or that, even if they did, that all the countries that approved this piece-of-sh*t 'agreement' in the first place would agree to actually DO anything about it...? :roflol:

    Put it this way. If the Norks have managed to develop their nukes, Iranians have them too. That's given.

    Pollycy, as one of the intelligent posters here, somewhere you must see what nukes represent: War nullification. The one power that will use them offensively will be piled on by the rest in universal unanimity. That's the way of the future.

    If you don't feelgood about it, two things: now you know what it is like to live under nuclear fear (if you are not old enough to have experienced it in the 1980s or earlier), or, you were among those fortunate few who actually benefited from constant war abroad.

    Iran has proven itself a responsible power in fighting ISIL, and is IMO ready for central ME hegemony, having entered the select club of nuclear nations.

    Excellent. Now Iran can wipe Israel from the map and free the world from Jewish tyranny.

    Nuclear missile use requires items such as thousand or so centrifuges and these will leave traces of nuclear activity. Every nuclear site requires these centrifuges and if they have not got them then that site is not a nuclear site. Iran are not banned from nuclear research, they are banned from enriching to military grade Uranium.

    You have not added anything to your claims in the OP and other claims you continually make - writing in in capital letters and underlining it does not make your claims any more believable. Do you really think that any country will grant permission to any other country to inspect their military sites just because they feel like it?

    I can see the logic in what you suggest, but unfortunately, we are dealing with regimes that are anything but logical! The "Mutual-assured Destruction" mechanism works only when dealing with people who have a circumspect intelligence, with at least a base-level of common sense, and who are rooted in the 'real world' that all of us must live in.

    Kim Jong-un is beyond delusional, wholly enveloped in his wet-dreams of an unassailable absolute dictatorship, protected in all he does by his conniving Chinese allies with whom he anticipates taking over South Korea and Japan. The frightening thing is that, all things considered, he and the Chinese could actually do it.... This is only reinforced in his mind by seeing the United States backing away from a military confrontation and relying on the failed methodology of "sanctions" instead. "Sanctions", per se, will accomplish NOTHING.

    And in its own way, the Iranian dictatorship is even worse than that of North Korea -- because it is run by an Islamo-Nazi 'priesthood' that adheres to the aspiration of facilitating the appearance of an Islamo-'Messiah' called the '12th Imam', or 'Mahdi', who will alight on Earth and lead all the Muslims to a resounding defeat of all 'infidels', and other related fantasies....

    We learned long ago that we could play the edgy war-of-nerves of MAD with governments like those in Russia and India. We could even tolerate that state-of-affairs with an Islamic country like Pakistan, which is ruled not by a fantasy-prone collection of priests, but a hard-nosed, pragmatic klatsch of egocentric, Western-styled military leaders. But how can we engage in a MAD arrangement with a Kim Jong-un? How can we engage in it with a priesthood that preaches our annihilation precisely because we in "the West" are INFIDELS...?

    Better to destroy these 'snakes' before they come out of their 'eggs' and present the very real possibility of killing us all, or, at the very least, putting all of mankind into a second 'Dark Age' for many years to come....

    Good! At least we are making progress... you're no longer making ridiculous assertions that the Iranians are going to allow inspections at their military sites. Even the Iranians themselves would tell you that you're DEAD-WRONG in making those claims.... Oh, and regarding my "claims"... don't take my word for them -- listen to what the Iranians THEMSELVES are saying about inspections at their military sites....

    Thus, there is only one (ONE) way left that we can conduct 'inspections' that will answer legitimate concerns we have about their nuclear weapons developments at military sites. And that one way is to utterly destroy all of them... because the Iranians will have it no other way.

    Deals with Iran aren't worth ****.

    They think we are weak. So they take the piss.
    Deliberately and actively on a policy level.

    You may think you will attack them. But they don't believe it.
    They think you are weak.

    And this attitude shapes Iran's dealing with the West in all things.
    They seek to take what you give up.
