Open Thread By NB Staff (Bio \| Archive) July 9, 2008 - 09:55 ET For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Iran test-fires nine missiles! One day after threatening to strike Israeli and U.S. interests if attacked, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards were reported Wednesday to have test-fired nine missiles, including one that Tehran claims has the range to reach Israel. State-run media, quoted by Western news agencies, said the tests near the Strait of Hormuz included long- and medium-range missiles, among them a new version of the Shahab-3, which Tehran maintains can hit targets 2,000 kilometers, or 1,250 miles, away. How serious is this?

I have a question for you. How can any entry on the "Open Thread" thread be 'off thread?' I see at least one entry per day in the Open Thread that starts out either "off thread" or "off topic" I suspect the term Open Thread means nothing to you!! :o) Just curious. Login or register to post comments Email this page South Jersey July 9, 2008 - 14:09 ET by misterbill I doubt that it is me for only one reason--I do not post here often any more. However, today this was suggested: "Possible talking point: Iran test-fires nine missiles!" I chose, as one of the first entries to convey the information from Malkin that had nothing to do with the suggestion. Thus as a courtesy to others, I marked it off thread. I am also a member of a site that will suspend , (yes, suspend) you if you violate the thread content. I would have considered your question to be cutrosity until your end sentence:"I suspect the term Open Thread means nothing to you!! :o) ", was not too complimentary. However, in spite of a 50 year career in computers, I do not know what the ":o)" means. Thank You.

So yeah, go for it punk, make our day, try to close the Straight of Hormuz you need the tankers as much as the Europeans do, we don't need to invade, we need only sit back to watch the mayhem. However, judging by the successful negotiating tactics of the DPRK's great leader firing missles into the sea I predict the Euro-cowards and Japanese will sweeten their previous deal to the Iranians even more thus giving the Mullahs the time and money to continue with their plans of world conquest.

He's implying that if you just visit a foreign country you should take the effort to learn their language. Okay... How about actual Americans who can't speak English? How come his campaign website is also in Spanish? Doesn't he think that citizens qualified to vote should be able to read, write and speak fluent English? #3.

July 9, 2008 - 16:13 ET by abeautifulperson its that panic, suggesting iran has any interest in attacking america or israel, which perpetuates this paranoia. can america completely flatten iran? yes. can america completely destroy the entire planet? yes. does america think that if it did attempt to crush iran, it will do it unscathed? only a foolish, ill-informed america would think that. iran has not attacked a country in 280 years. who else in this room can say that? one only has to think of the reasons 'for' and 'against' iran attacking israel or anyone else. there are no 'for' arguments. but our present-day american leaders won't mention that. as the grandfather of the Man-from-Glad, presidential hopeful says: "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb iran."

July 9, 2008 - 16:30 ET by bassndude Has not attacked a country in 280 years? It attacked America in 1979, they killed marines in Beirut in 1982, they equip, fund and train Hamas and they actively support al qaeda. There special forces troops are crossing the border into Iraq, training terrorists, giving them weapons, money and material. How did you get your head that far up your backside?

Amadinnerjacket says it, he started it. can america completely flatten iran? yes. Does Iran think we have the belly for it. No, can america completely destroy the entire planet? yes. Make it crappy to live here, yes. Destroy, no does america think that if it did attempt to crush iran, it will do it unscathed? only a foolish, ill-informed america would think that. Fortunatly we would not have to destroy Iran, just the crazy dude running the place. iran has not attacked a country in 280 years. who else in this room can say that? They had better keep it that way one only has to think of the reasons 'for' and 'against' iran attacking israel or anyone else. there are no 'for' arguments. but our present-day american leaders won't mention that. Their president is nuts, So applying "good reasons" not to do something is of the table. "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference.

Login or register to post comments Email this page I wonder how Jesse Jackson July 9, 2008 - 18:48 ET by RESTLESS 1 I wonder how Jesse Jackson really feels about the messiah. From the link: "The original comments referenced Obama’s speeches in black churches. Jackson said in a written statement he was trying to emphasize that Obama’s moral message should 'not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy.'” Well of course!!! If blacks took responsibility for themselves, they would have nothing to blame whitey for. That would be a real problem for jesse dumbass.

This is too funny...now of course Sharpton is defending all of this on H&C...they will all circle the wagons...worry not. If this was reversed in anyway shape or form with the repubs....it would be HUGE everywhere!!! For days!!! Jesse apologized, Obama said it's okay...Sharpton is the be all end all... ....that's it's folks. End of story.

But once again the hypocrisy of the condescending atronizing left reigns supreme. Even Jesse Jackson gets the "He don't know no better" treatment. Obama already lacks something if he doesn't repudiate and condemn Jesse Jackson for his hateful remark concerning the removal of his genitalia.
