Thread Name: BS: The coming war with Iran?
Subject: RE: BS: The coming war with Iran?
Strange how Teribus always reminds me of Arthur McBride's recruiting sergeant, continually wheedling and cajoling us old boys on Mudcat.
Always trying to persuade us "hayseeds" that war is not such a bad thing at all....

"With three operational SSBN's it would not matter how many nuclear weapons Iran had, because any use of such a weapon against Israel, directly, or a-symetrically by Iranian useage of any one of the numerous terrorist groups it supports, would result in the total destruction of Iran. Actually I do not believe that they would have to go that far, the cities of Tehran, Bandar Abbas and Quom would be sufficient."........   A statement almost Pythonesque in its idiocy!

Sergent Teribus , Corporal Keith and that "wee little drummer" Doug should remember what befell their predecessors on their "way tae the fair in the mornin'".

Despite all his huffing and puffing about facts and figures, Teribus's attempt to belie John Pilger's article contains none.
He is like the rest of us here....A wee old man with an opinion!!

Thankfully most polls worldwide suggest that not many people agree with his opinion.
Most of the people who supported the war have changed their stance, only the bloodthirsty or the deluded remain in that camp.

Time to "pitch their weapons far intae the tide...and the Devil go wae them, if ever we see them returning"....Ake
