Finally Tough Talk On Iran, No Wait

News Flash, They ALREADY HAVE THEM.

Hey folks,

Look at these quotes.

"There should be no mistaking that we do not today — nor will we ever — accept a BLANK with nuclear weapons,"

"the peril posed by the BLANK regime" has become "even more lethal and destabilizing."

He said the U.S. is firmly committed to providing BLANK with deterrence against those threats "with the full range of military might, from the nuclear umbrella to conventional strike and missile defense capabilities."

The Blanks SHOULD read Iran, Iranian, and Israel. But they don't They read North Korea, North Korea, and South Korea. According to the AP - Gates says US won't accept nuclear North Korea By LARA JAKES, Associated Press Writer Lara Jakes, Associated Press Writer – 31 mins ago

SEOUL, South Korea – U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Wednesday the United States will never accept a North Korea with atomic bombs, saying the communist regime poses threats "even more lethal and destabilizing" than before.

Gates arrived in Seoul on Wednesday for a two-day visit for annual defense ministers' talks with South Korea after a stop in Tokyo.

"There should be no mistaking that we do not today — nor will we ever — accept a North Korea with nuclear weapons," Gates told a group of American and South Korean troops at the U.S. military headquarters in central Seoul.

Gates said "the peril posed by the North Korean regime" has become "even more lethal and destabilizing."

He said the U.S. is firmly committed to providing South Korea with deterrence against those threats "with the full range of military might, from the nuclear umbrella to conventional strike and missile defense capabilities."

The U.S. keeps about 28,500 troops in South Korea to help defend the Asian ally against the North.

North Korea's nuclear and missile programs have long been a key source of security concern in the region.


Yes THANK YOU BILL CLINTON. He gave them all they needed because they said it was for energy and promised to be good. {Sigh}

Gates said the North's atomic program is a serious security challenge not only on the peninsula, "but for the region as a whole." He also called the impoverished regime a "serious proliferation threat."

"Everything they make, they seem to be willing to sell," he said.

The communist nation conducted nuclear tests twice — first in 2006 and the second in May this year — and is believed to have enough weapons grade plutonium for at least half a dozen atomic bombs. The North has also sought to advance its long-range missile capabilities.


News Flash, They ALREADY HAVE THEM.

Efforts to end the North's nuclear programs have often stalled because Pyongyang has backtracked on disarmament pacts. Some analysts say Pyongyang has no intention of giving up nuclear programs and could seek recognition as a nuclear state, like India.

North Korea pulled out of six-nation nuclear disarmament talks in April before conducting the May atomic test blast and a series of ballistic missile tests.

But in recent months, it has reached out to Seoul and Washington. The regime has freed detained American and South Korean citizens, and leader Kim Jong Il said earlier this month that his country could rejoin six-party nuclear talks, depending on the status of direct talks with the U.S.

Does ANY of this sound familiar? Seriously. We could and SHOULD be substituting Iran and Ahmadinejad here.

Still, the North mixed the conciliatory mood with some provocations, like a barrage of short-range missile tests earlier this month. Analyst Koh Yu-hwan at Seoul's Dongguk University said the North's move is aimed at bolstering its negotiating position ahead of direct talks with the U.S. with a warning that it could again raise tensions at any time.

North Korea has long sought direct negotiations with the U.S. The communist regime claims it was compelled to develop atomic bombs to cope with what it calls "U.S. nuclear threats."


Ahmadinejad quotes?

"We ask the West to remove what they created sixty years ago and if they do not listen to our recommendations, then the Palestinian nation and other nations will eventually do this for them."

"The real Holocaust is what is happening in Palestine where the Zionists avail themselves of the fairy tale of Holocaust as blackmail and justification for killing children and women and making innocent people homeless."


Uh, that last one sounds an awful lot like Obama. Doesn't it? More quotes?

"Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury."

"Remove Israel before it is too late and save yourself from the fury of regional nations."

"The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of a war of destiny. The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in Palestinian land. As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map."

"If the West does not support Israel, this regime will be toppled. As it has lost its raison d' tre, Israel will be annihilated."

"Israel is a tyrannical regime that will one day will be destroyed."

"Israel is a rotten, dried tree that will be annihilated in one storm."


Their views of US?

"[There is] no significant need for the United States."

"Iranians possess delicate characteristics. They introduce their merits, which are extremely attractive to whole the world."

"We are ready to hold dialogue with all countries of the world except for the Israeli regime."

"Those who insulted the prophet should know that you cannot obscure the sun with a handful of dust. The dust will just get back and blind your own eyes."

"We increasingly see that people around the world are flocking towards a main focal point - that is the Almighty God. My question for you is, 'Do you not want to join them?'"

"There are no limits to our dialogue."

"Do you think you are dealing with a 4-year-old child to whom you can give some walnuts and chocolates and get gold from him?"


These are just a handful of quotes from 2006. Since then he has called for the Death of America, continued to deny the Holocaust, and call for the destruction of Israel. Since then, he has gotten to a place where he could create a Nuclear Bomb TODAY, and has the capability to launch a rocket into space.

He has come right out and said that Sanctions will not work, and they haven't. He has come right our and said ANY threat against Iran will meet with devastating fire. He is on a quest to carry out all his threats. But unlike North Korea, we could stop this before it goes ANY farther. We could knock Little Hitler right back into the stone age with a couple of well placed bombs. Done.

North Korea already HAS them. If we were to engage North Korea, we would have devastating consequences. Great lost will occur on both sides. North Korea is similar to the Cold War days of the USSR. Do we really want Iran to get there also? Problem with Iran is, they do not want Nuclear Weapons for deterrents, THEY WANT TO AND WILL USE THEM!

The U.S., which denies making any such threats, has said it is willing to engage the North in direct talks if assured such negotiations would mean Pyongyang ends its boycott of six-nation disarmament discussions involving the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the U.S.

Meanwhile, North Korea's No. 2 nuclear negotiator, Ri Gun, was in Beijing en route to the U.S.

Ri is scheduled to attend a security forum in California early next week before flying to New York for a seminar. South Korean news reports have said he is expected to meet with the chief U.S. nuclear negotiator, Sung Kim, to set up bilateral talks.

Well isn't that sweet? So what do we do NOW about Iran? Where is the tough talk THERE? No, Iran we invite to a BBQ. {Sigh} Meanwhile they continue to smile and build their Bomb.
