President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran said that Germans should no longer allow themselves to be held prisoner by a sense of guilt over the Holocaust and reiterated doubts that the Holocaust ever happened. |
| quote: |
"I believe the German people are prisoners of the Holocaust. More than 60 million were killed in World War II. . . . The question is: Why is it that only Jews are at the center of attention?" he said in the interview published Sunday. |
| quote: |
"We say if the Holocaust happened, then the Europeans must accept the consequences and the price should not be paid by Palestine. |

| Originally posted by shaolin_Z Yeah, no one ever explains that bit. Apparently 'goyim' deaths don't count. That's the power of guilt man. A guilt ridden population is very easy to silence, confuse, and manipulate. Ofcourse similiar attrocities and crimes against humanity that are talking place now go virtually ignored or unacknowledged. But these specific victims are sand****** goyim, so it's all good. |

I mean, I feel it for the Jewish people and their suffering, and I am NOT anti-semitic, but I cannot disagree with above quote, eespecially looking at the grim situation of Palestinians right now, hostages and victims of Israel. |
| quote: |
And as for his denial or "doubt" about Holocaust, that's Ahmadinejad's opinion, and quite frankly, I dont think he should go to prison just for that - though I do think that his education and IQ levels are slightly low for a leader of a country (comparable to Bush's IQ I suppose). But then again - I am very sure he knows that Holocaust happened, he's probably saying his "doubts" to piss Jews off and play along to his Arabic supporters and semitics around the world.[/COLOR] |

| Originally posted by Magnetonium I agree. Why should ordinary Germans be held hostage to the day for the crimes they themselves didnt do? Most of the criminals are dead by now. They shouldn't feel guilty, they lost families, land (East Prussia), pride, war. They paid out the damages, apologized and are living civilized today. Yeah, why are Jews at the center of attention in WW2?

| Originally posted by LazFX wishfull thinking there, Isreal may be invaded, but the invading muslim soldiers will not have a home or family to return to. is that what you want?? Do you really honestly believe that if even all of the Arab Countries Banded together and the US stayed out of it, that it would be a cake walk?? Also if the US was so focking evil why DO WE use rules to fight the insurgents?? Why not cut off a few heads on video tape while screaming GOD IS GREAT like your precious little isurgents are doing? If the US was as evil as you beleive, then there would be no disscusion about this, cause it would of already been over. I am not trying to start a mud slinging war with you Hardcore. You know damn well though, that if the US would use all of its weapons, technology with out a moral ground, unlike your precious little isurgents; who hide in mosques, use human shields, have the kidnapped the religion of Islam, kill people just because they believe a different sect all in the name of God! you can not be that Naive can you? Do you think you would be in a better place, if you were goverened by the likes of the insurgents or Iran itself?? Answer that for me, if not then every single one of you aurguments here on this forum are baseless and you need to seek help. |

| Originally posted by Haunted how are Germans held hostage by the holocaust? how do you compare the deaths of soviets (who belonged to a country at WAR with germany) to jews, who were citizens of Germany? theres a difference between the deaths of civilians in a war and genocide. how are Palestinians hostages and victims of Israel? lol, maybe they do it themselves? don't you think? i have a hunch that if they stopped strapping bombs to themselves, things would be okay. use common sense and stop trying to purposely have a different opinion than everyone else. it doesn't make you cool, it just makes you look like a moron. |
US 'Iran attack plans' revealed
| quote: |
| US 'Iran attack plans' revealed USS John C Stennis is being deployed to the Persian Gulf US contingency plans for air strikes on Iran extend beyond nuclear sites and include most of the country's military infrastructure, the BBC has learned. It is understood that any such attack - if ordered - would target Iranian air bases, naval bases, missile facilities and command-and-control centres. The US insists it is not planning to attack, and is trying to persuade Tehran to stop uranium enrichment. The UN has urged Iran to stop the programme or face economic sanctions. But diplomatic sources have told the BBC that as a fallback plan, senior officials at Central Command in Florida have already selected their target sets inside Iran. That list includes Iran's uranium enrichment plant at Natanz. Facilities at Isfahan, Arak and Bushehr are also on the target list, the sources say. Two triggers BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner says the trigger for such an attack reportedly includes any confirmation that Iran was developing a nuclear weapon - which it denies. The Natanz plant is buried under concrete, metal and earth Alternatively, our correspondent adds, a high-casualty attack on US forces in neighbouring Iraq could also trigger a bombing campaign if it were traced directly back to Tehran. Long range B2 stealth bombers would drop so-called "bunker-busting" bombs in an effort to penetrate the Natanz site, which is buried some 25m (27 yards) underground. The BBC's Tehran correspondent France Harrison says the news that there are now two possible triggers for an attack is a concern to Iranians. Authorities insist there is no cause for alarm but ordinary people are now becoming a little worried, she says. Deadline Earlier this month US officials said they had evidence Iran was providing weapons to Iraqi Shia militias. At the time, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the accusations were "excuses to prolong the stay" of US forces in Iraq. Middle East analysts have recently voiced their fears of catastrophic consequences for any such US attack on Iran. Britain's previous ambassador to Tehran, Sir Richard Dalton, told the BBC it would backfire badly by probably encouraging the Iranian government to develop a nuclear weapon in the long term. Last year Iran resumed uranium enrichment - a process that can make fuel for power stations or, if greatly enriched, material for a nuclear bomb. Tehran insists its programme is for civil use only, but Western countries suspect Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons. The UN Security Council has called on Iran to suspend its enrichment of uranium by 21 February. If it does not, and if the International Atomic Energy Agency confirms this, the resolution says that further economic sanctions will be considered. |
This is very sad news. But kind of expected.
So basically this article said nothing. How many times has an aircraft carrier been deployed to the Persian Gulf where no attacks followed? And of course targets have been selected in Iran. We had targets mapped out for decades in the USSR and Warsaw Pact states and no attack ever followed. If Iran would just be upfront and honest they would have nothing to fear.
So, we're upset because the US has attack/contingency plans? I'm not sure what the big deal is. It is one thing to attack and another to have plans to attack. Potential vs. reality are quite different, and I'm not sure why people are upset because of potential in this case. I wonder right now how many countries have attack plans against other countries...just in case.

Star-traveller's thread has been merged into the thread formerly known as "Iran War = Inevitable".
Please, if you're talking about the same issue, try not to post other threads.
This appears to be a bit more than just contingency plans.

| Neo-conservatives, particularly at the Washington-based American Enterprise Institute, are urging Mr Bush to open a new front against Iran. So too is the vice-president, Dick Cheney. The state department and the Pentagon are opposed, as are Democratic congressmen and the overwhelming majority of Republicans. The sources said Mr Bush had not yet made a decision. The Bush administration insists the military build-up is not offensive but aimed at containing Iran and forcing it to make diplomatic concessions. The aim is to persuade Tehran to curb its suspect nuclear weapons programme and abandon ambitions for regional expansion. http://www.guardian.co.uk/iran/story/0,,2010086,00.html |

| "I interviewed Perle when he was advising Reagan; and he spoke about 'total war'. I mistakenly dismissed him as mad. He recently used the term again in describing America's 'war on terror'. 'No stages,' he said. 'This is total war.' We are fighting a variety of enemies. There are lots of them out there. All this talk about first we are going to do Afghanistan, then we will do Iraq...this is entirely the wrong way to go about it. If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it intirely and we don't try to piece together clever diplomacy, but just wage a total war... our children will sing great songs about us years from now." http://www.projectcensored.org/down...nance_Group.pdf p.5 |

| British military sources told the New Statesman, on condition of anonymity, that "the US military switched its whole focus to Iran" as soon as Saddam Hussein was kicked out of Baghdad. It continued this strategy, even though it had American infantry bogged down in fighting the insurgency in Iraq. |
| quote: |
| The US army, navy, air force and marines have all prepared battle plans and spent four years building bases and training for "Operation Iranian Freedom". Admiral Fallon, the new head of US Central Command, has inherited computerised plans under the name TIRANNT (Theatre Iran Near Term). |
| quote: |
| The admiral picked by President Bush to oversee his new strategy for Iraq testified yesterday that he does not know much about the plan that the administration says will determine whether the U.S. wins the war. "I have not gotten into the detail of these plans," Adm. William J. Fallon told the Senate Armed Services Committee, adding that he has been concentrating on his current job as head of the U.S. Pacific Command... The admiral, whose expertise centers on sea power and diplomacy in dealing with China, said he will leave the Iraq battle decisions to Army Lt. Gen. David H. Petraeus, who leaves for Baghdad this week as the top U.S. commander in Iraq. The admiral appeared before the panel for confirmation hearings on his appointment to lead the U.S. Central Command. "I do not know the details of how he plans to use" the new troops, Adm. Fallon said. "I'm sure he's going to have to consult with his generals on the ground once he gets into position and then figure it out." http://iraqnam.blogspot.com/2007/01...details-of.html |

| Two carriers in the region, the USS John C Stennis and the USS Dwight D Eisenhower, could quickly be joined by three more now at sea: USS Ronald Reagan, USS Harry S Truman and USS Theodore Roosevelt, as well as by USS Nimitz. Each carrier force includes hundreds of cruise missiles... Today, marines have the USS Boxer and USS Bataan carrier forces in the Gulf and probably also the USS Kearsarge and USS Bonhomme Richard. Three others, the USS Peleliu, USS Wasp and USS Iwo Jima, are ready to join them. Earlier this year, HQ staff to manage these forces were moved from Virginia to Bahrain. |
