McCain "Iran will have Nuclear Capabilities in 6 Months"

[mikelewis]

On face the Nation, Senator McCain reported that Iran will have nuclear capabilities as early as 6 months. He did not create a visual of a mushroom cloud over an American City but I'm sure that's gonna be said soon too. He also said that we would probably have to disarm them unilaterally.


Same old story, same old song and dance.

On edit - he also said we could freeze the sale of oil from Iran until they give up thier WMD. He said that there's really no other choice if they refuse to give up their weapons of mass Destruction.

1. Same old turncoat who used to be a good guy but is now

a * asskisser. I can't stand him anymore; he flushed his ethics, values, integrity.

[INdemo]

2. Looks like the groundwork is being laid

for an attack. This is really scary.Its time to prepare for $5.00 gal. gas

[glitch]

23. Chatty Johnny, who is pulling your string?

The groundwork is being laid, and the usual suspects are stepping up to act out their cheesy roles in this tacky neocon drama. On cue.

Pathetic, and our corporate media promotes it like it's apple pie.

[Sydnie]

3. Wow, they work fast

considering that just last week they were reporting that it might take them five years to get to that point. when did we sign up for "speed threats"?

[Lerkfish]

5. actually, the international commission said 10 years.

but hey, republicans can't do math.
good example: spend more than ever before, cut taxes.

[Sydnie]

16. See, even our MSM only divided by 2!

McCain is an alarmist. We need to expose him as such.

[EuroObserver]

35. Maybe he has some inside info on those BFEE sales to Iran?

4. He started down the slippery slope and keeps going...

I suppose this is what happens when a decent conservative tries to keep face with the neocon. He is forced to become one of them...

[Lerkfish]

6. This is a good lesson for the DLC.

"uppose this is what happens when a decent conservative tries to keep face with the neocon. He is forced to become one of them..."

[cali]

7. What a wanker McCain is

I heard that too. He really is despicable.

[qanda]

8. Just in time for the mid-term elections

Hmmmmmmm

[area51]

29. Exactly.

Really strange, since the nazis seem to be scared of mid-term elections, & they needn't be, since they own Diebold, ES&S, Sequoia, etc.

That anyone would pay any attention to what this psychopathic, lying administration says about the alleged danger another country poses is simply amazing.

[emald]

9. war with Iran is going to happen

it's in the pnac manual. McCain is a * enabler and a scuzbucket of immense proportions. Liars united.

[peacetalksforall]

10. In July 2005, the National Security Council issued a report - 10 YEARS.

It is referenced in many articles on the internet. It estimated that it would be 10 years before Iran had weapon capability. That makes it 9 1/2 years. Some say it would have been 12 years if Halliburton had not sold them essential ingredients.

Don't accept what McCain says. He can't be trusted for anything. He is a giant weasel. Details and distinctions are required. DEMAND details and don't trust the U.S. press. just as you cannot trust a Republican politician.

DEMAND that McCain explain himself. Obviously, he is now John RICE or John PERLE.

Know what the crisis is all about - the U.S. and Israel and the UK want to bomb Iran. Demand to know if the crisis is really Iran.

This is a stand-off. Israel has the highest arsenal. Iran is their long time foe. This is a stand-off. The U.S. Republican agenda is evil.

[EuroObserver]

36. "That makes it 9 1/2 years."

Nope, that makes it still 10 years (minimum) estimated, since even research programs have been frozen (and sealed) UNTIL NOW.

[mikelewis]

11. A little lesson for McCain

A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains. The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock.

Moral

I don't believe you when you tell me Iran has popcicle sticks, let alone WMD

[bpilgrim]

12. i guess we'll have to start bombing soon, eh?

since we can not cut off their supply of oil that the west desperately needs.

and when they cut it off in response i guess we will have to occupy the country to get it going again.

sounds like an imperial plan to me.

15. Pakistan, India both have nuclear weapons.

Where's the outrage?

17. America has thousand of nuclear weapons but refuses to

invade itself. Go figure.

[Avalux]

20. lol!

Hey - it's OK if we have them, cause we're the good guys. ;-)

[HysteryDiagnosis]

22. Always have been, legends in our own minds, ulterior motives

not withstanding for the "police actions" we have found ourselves in. I pity the fool who learned history in school. ;)

[Zynx]

26. And you don't see us threatening them, do you?

[HysteryDiagnosis]

27. They must feel snug as a bug in a rug.... so sorry for their people

who have starved... millions of them... and nothing was done about that either.

[tuvor]

14. What exactly is a "nuclear capability"?

If that isn't the vaguest doublespeak I've heard lately...Doesn't for one second mean bombs. (But that's what you're hoping for, right, McCain?)

And sources I'd trust more than McCain are saying five or ten years before Iran could actually produce a nuclear bomb.

Fear, fear, fear!

24. Bush had Iraq - McCain will have Iran.

Two "wartime preznits".

25. The war drums are beating louder and louder!!

Pretty soon they'll drown out all common sense. It's de ja vu!

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

28. WTF is going on? Who on earth is going to believe this?

Or the Padilla application form? Or the Zawahiri 'Guess Who's Coming To Dinner' bombing?

At least the Saddam did 9-11 bollocks had a small vestige of intelligence behind it (the well debunked Atta-Iraqi spook meeting).

I'm now waiting for Cheney to go on FOX and announce the new intelligence about Zarqawi:

"Now it's time for me to tell you about Zarqawi, archrival and nemesis of Bush, with powers comparable to Bush. What powers you ask? I dunno, how 'bout the power of flight? That do anything for ya? That's levitation Holmes.

How 'bout the power to kill a yak, from 200 yards away ... with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Bill.

How 'bout the power, to move you?"

or something like that.

32. Sheep will follow their shepherd, even to slaughter...

30. The once respected John McCain has greatly damaged his credibility

by aligning himself with Bush's policy makers.

[Toots]

31. Wolf,,wolf ,,wolf,, wolf,,

It worked so well the other times the GOP yelled it. Will it continue to work on feeble minded America? One day when they cry wolf America will not be there and the wolf will be....

[The Backlash Cometh]

33. I'm sure the College Republicans would be happy to serve.

I suspect that this is at the root of the Alito vote. They know America has to go in a fascist direction in order to bring on their evil plan of continual war in the Middle East. What better way to do it but to continue to steal elections and to ensure that the Supreme Court continues to support absolute power for the executive office. McCain must think he's going to benefit from all of this.

34. Iran threatens to switch from US dollar in April!!

[mikelewis]

39. Bingo! We have a winner!

[peacetalksforall]

37. Do you think McCain is acting as a tester? To see how many of the

citizens will believe this and quote him because he is McCain. (Picked because he is not Queen Liar Rice?). He may be the perfect person to start a wildfire of support for bombing?

[mikelewis]

38. No, he a saturator...

He's dropping lines like this so they can saturate the political discourse with quotes from a "repectable" Republican. He's the Colon Powell of the Iran war.

[peacetalksforall]

42. Saturator. That is excellent. You are right.

[cry baby]

40. Yesterday it was 5 to 10 years. Today, just in time for the Sunday

shows, it's 6 months.

And China will never stop buying their oil from Iran. China is an oil glutton and they won't bow to the whims of the rest of the world. Plus they have veto power in the UN, so that cripples any plans that the UN might have in terms of sanctions.

Bomb! Kill! Wave flags!
