Hersh: Iran Nuclear Threat "Scam"

Says U.S. headed towards military action despite intelligence rejecting Iran danger

democracynow.org: In his latest article for the New Yorker magazine, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh says the United States might attack Iran based on distorted estimates of Iran’s nuclear and military threat – just like it did with Saddam Hussein’s government in Iraq. Hersh reveals that despite using Iranian informants and cutting edge surveillance technology, U.S. officials have been unable to find decisive evidence that Iran has been moving enriched uranium to an underground weapon-making center:

Utter any of above three, & you are almost guaranteed to bring froth to the mouth of every islamist regime's cyber agent on this site!

Then all you have to do is to sit back, watch and enjoy :)

Nice SPIN AmirParvaz!

I like your SPIN on things.

If you really and truly believe what you write then that's the best thing that can happen for me.

Oh boy! Yet another one!

As for Israel all they have to do, to handle Egypt, Iran etc etc, is
increase their army by 2 divisions. 2 squadrons of air power is all they
will need to wipe out iran and egypts air forces in an afternoon.

Here comes someone that not only does not know his country's history but also is blind and deaf to current news. That is almost impossible unless you agree with me that charactors such as the above poster are not Iranian at all. They are here for alterior motives only.

It baffles me how any non military expert can make suchhighly expert claims when every day the military experts of the world are telling otherwise through mass media.

Libya, etc etc. then those countries will be so backwards and weak the US will have succeeded in its aims.

As for Israel all they have to do, to handle Egypt, Iran etc etc, is increase their army by 2 divisions. 2 squadrons of air power is all they will need to wipe out iran and egypts air forces in an afternoon.

What is surprsing is how well USA policy is working through the media to fool Iranians that this Islam is a danger to the west and a source of strengths.

please neanderthals get this through your thick skulls, they want islam for iran because it keeps Iran weak and retarded...

They know they have nothing to fear from Islamic Iran, so they will keep mullahs in power to kill and humiliate Iranians on a daily basis, at parents funerals and in the streets of tehran.

The last thing the USA wants to see is Iranians united for freedom around the late shahs son, that would spell a future for iran, which is why they brought khomeini for us, to make certain we can't have one.

What a bunch of horse shit!

by IranMilitaryForum.net on

What this idiot must understand is that: WMD's are a problem but the
bigger problems are the people and governments that have proved they
would use it.   The world is a better place without Sadam and it would
be far far better without the Islamic Republic, and the rest of
governments who have proven their brutality and lack of concience. 

What a bunch of horse shit!Tormented people who write non-sense like this would twist and spin anything including history to justify they stinking objectives.What is lack of conscience to you mister? Do you have a conscience to speak up against Iran and Iraq and others and yet keep shut up on the US and Zionists who's killing fields of innocent men, women and children have been going on for decades? Put your money where your mouth is if you truely believe in the shit you speak of.

 

The only one single country that barks the most against any country even suspected of a nuclear activity is the USA and all in the name of world security. ironically it was the USA, as the only nation in the world that actually used the nuclear weapons against another country, I guess again in the name of world security. Now should I teach you what world and what security that crime against humanity was committed for?

US went into Iraq for WMD but specifically for nuclear WMD anything else they were not worried about. If they truly were worried about Chemical or biological existence would they logically expose 140,000 troops to what they feared the most? Conscience is a good thing for a deprived soul such as yours.

Why would anyone defend this regime's lust for nuclear weapons is beyond me;

Yes, they should lie and cheat like the Zio-Terrorists, the US and the European union does on daily basis to indict innocent. For people like you individuals with good ethics and conscience should not exist!

Glad to spoil this party though!

So it seems that the war bells are ringing again. Not.

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

And Obama can get re-elected if he allows Israel to defend itself from the crazy Regime.  Interesting speculation.  I think no one is planning on doing anything. 

The USA wants mullahd for Iran, even if they get the bomb, shocking as that sounds.  The reason is the Mullahs are accomplishing the main goal laid out for them, which is to skyrocket corruption and suppress Iran from developing, so why would the west need to remove them if they are meeting the wests goals for the region at the expense of Iranians.

by Bavafa on

"WMD's are a problem but the bigger problems are the people and governments that have proved they would use it."

clearly, there has been two known governments that have used "IT", WMD that is, and that is the government of USA and Iraq under Saddam which incidently got their WMD from the West and used it with the knowladge of the West whily, they looked the other way. Furthermore, there is one government that has repeatedly threaten to use "IT" again by the "all options are on the table" rhetoric.

So if we are going to go by the above judgment, clearly USA is the first country that needs to be disarmed.

I see He is still an idiot

by masoudA on

I don't know if this fool knows WMD is not necessarily reffered to atomic bombs.....Sadam did have weapons of mass destruction in chemical forms and did use it - both against Iran and his own people.   Bush admin knew he had it and captured most of it - they did however not advertise it, becasue Americans were the ones who gave the chemicals to Sadam in the first place.   What this idiot must understand is that: WMD's are a problem but the bigger problems are the people and governments that have proved they would use it.   The world is a better place without Sadam and it would be far far better without the Islamic Republic, and the rest of governments who have proven their brutality and lack of concience.

Seymour Hersh: "The new

by LoverOfLiberty on

Seymour Hersh: "The new trigger is a very complicated device that was used by us maybe 30 years ago to trigger a hydrogen—a fusion weapon, and it went nowhere. And it’s a, as I say, extremely complicated device that there’s no evidence that anybody in their right mind would want to use that kind of a trigger. It would involve creating a different kind of reactor. The technical problems with that kind of a complicated device are enormous. And anyway, are you really going to be—are you going to make a trigger before you know what kind of gun you have?"

I don't think Hersh understands what the heck he is talking about in this paragraph.

For a more detailed discussion concerning that type of nuclear trigger, please look here, for those who are interested:

I do not believe Islamist regime's "nuclear programme"...

by Roozbeh_Gilani on

To be of peaceful nature.

 Unlike Mr hersh and other western "liberal left", I happen to know and understand the ideology of the shiat cultists ruling Iran today, their belief in Mehdi the missing 12th emam, his appearance at times of armageden and documented desires and wishes of the islamist regime's leadership in expediating Mehdi's appearance. Not to mention Islamist regime's desparation and need for staying in power and their belief in the nuclear Arms to be a guarantee to that. 

I also believe that US  and possibly israel know Iran's nuclear programme probably better than khamenei himself and would use it to the advantage of their foreign policy goals when need be.

We, the people of Iran are caught in between this fascist islamist dictatorship and foreign powers, until the day we manage to overthrow the islamist regime, replacing it with a secular regime for Iranian, by iranians.

In the meantime, we need to oppose islamist regime's nuclear policy in interest of peace and prevention of war and destruction upon our country and it's people.

Why would anyone defend this regime's lust for nuclear weapons is beyond me; their salvation to a long and opressive reign over Iran and her people.

The only enemies of Iran are those who pretend to be her "lea...lea..leaders".
