| This poll is now showing what amounts to a tie.
The majority of the possible selections however would be aiding Israel in some way, shape, or form.
Meanwhile Iran is not making any threats of starting a first strike war.
Unless someone has something else to add in contradiction here is what Iran is guilty of saying.
The quotes I am listing are based on my memory of news stories.
"We are joining the nuclear nations and are going to develope nuclear energy for peaceful purposes only".
"We now have tested a new missle that can hit far away targets - the warhead can split to strike three different targets with each missle used, the warheads are conventional".
"We are going to give the Palestinians billions in humanitarian aid".
"If the West attempts to stop our nuclear energy program that will put a hatred in the hearts fo Iranians, towards the West, forever".
"If anyone attacks us, we will cut their heads off".
"The suicide bombing on Israel was an act of self defense".
Meanwhile a guy running for governer here in California has an ad on TV saying " I sued Bush to stop give aways to big oil, money that he was taking away from our schools".
Hey, that is how they get popular votes, stand up to big bad Bush. They do it in Iran and they do it here in USA politics. Election time - Rumage sales - aka - Rumsfield sold out.
but what is pure poltical yak yak, and how much of it should we worry about? |
