Poll question: could Iran already have purchased a nuclear weapon ?
and if we nuke them will they retaliate against our troops in the green zone?
a truck nuclear bomb seems easy enough with all the bombs still going off every day. better spread the troops out.

are you sure you want to mess with Iran George? have you really thought this thing out, or is this another one of your gut feelings?

2. I dont think that the leaders of the mentioned nations are insane enough...
to fuel this fire with their geographies being as they are. And knowing that the leaders of USA and Iran are INSANE enough to use them.

3. I voted yes. I do think it's within the realm of possibility that Iran
could have purchased a nuke from any of the players listed.

4. No. But if a rogue nuke goes off anywhere, they'll say it was Iran.
An event that would be mighty convenient. I'd like to think they're not that crazy.

An international psychopath with an unnatural fondness for plutonium.

19. I have to agree dude...I know who your directing your post at and it ain't me.
Your absolutely correct, the fools here will believe anything they are told if it's repeated enough times and Bushco are masters at repeating and repeating the lie and then you begin to see threads like this one.

14. I say yes.
Hell if I was in their shoes I would (and having oil does open alot of doors to get one). In fact I think it's one of the main reason why the US hasn't attacked them yet. They want to find those things first (yeah right).

But as one already said there's only one way to find out.

23. I agree, SFW. In fact, I think if Iran DID have nukes, it would be a good thing.
All these panting bloodthristy warmongers would have to step back and do some serious thinking about the consequences of bombing the shit out of another Middle Eastern country.

22. A nuke on the Greenzone would have fallout come back over them
That would be stupid. Especially considering they have key oil fields near Iraq.

Look at a map.
