Well, now we've admitted that the drone was spying on Iranian nuke sites, much to my unbelief.

(Not that we were doing it...but that we admitted it).

Now the military is blaming the CIA...still don't understand why we're admitting it.

Of course, Leon Panetta went ahead and said we're still going to keep on doing it.

You can't say we don't have big ones....

Why wouldn't we be spying on an illegal nuclear weapons program? We should be.

Stuff is brewing here. The Russians today announced that

Quote:

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's customs agency announced Friday it has seized pieces of radioactive metal from the luggage of an Iranian passenger bound for Tehran from one of Moscow's main airports.
It was not immediately clear if the substance could be any use to Iran's controversial nuclear program.
Iran's semi-official news agency ISNA confirmed that material had been seized from the luggage of an Iranian passenger in Moscow about a month ago, but denied it was radioactive.
Russia's Federal Customs Service said in a statement that agents found 18 pieces of metal, packed in steel pencil cases, at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport after a radiation alert went off. It said the gauges showed that radiation levels were 20 times higher than normal.

Something's up . . .

Yeah, well, the strange thing isn't really the material smuggling itself. It turns out that the guy was a dental student, and the material wasn't anything that could be used in a weapon.

The strange thing is why the Russians only reported it now, and why they won't release his name, or why they let him go.

(Oh, and I never said we shouldn't be spying on them, I'm just surprised we admitted it.)

Such reports must be approved by 43 different Departments, Comrade. Do you know how long this takes?

...and why they won't release his name

Because this requires approval by 37 more Departments. As you can see, we take Data Protection very seriously

Why is Iran not allowed to develop nuclear weapons? The most dangerous country in the world is the USA. War, war, war. Greed, greed, greed. Iran is not invading countries, and is a peaceful place. Maybe the USA should lead by example and disarm its nuclear arsenal first. "weapons of mass destruction"

Hey honey, turn the news off and put the simpsons on...

Because they'd probably nuke every other country around them over petty religious slights, not to mention saving the biggest one for Israel and then they'd threaten the USA. We''d have to pull all of our embassies before we allowed them to do that.

Plus, if you think they're cocky and arrogant now, consider letting them have that kind of power. They'd be shit-talking every week. That's WWIII waiting to happen. Power corrupts. Absolutely.

What evidence is this based on

Iran hasn't started a war in over 300 years. America starts war at the drop of a hat. The only reason the middle east is unstable is because the west--USA and UK are picking fights. Of course oil and gas has nothing to do with it

Iran like Iraq poses no threat to the the west. Unless you believe the bullshit spilling out of your TV and radio.

Israel has nukes. Is that OK?

a country suppresses its neighbour by bombs and bullets. A very unstable place that is backed by the USA.
