Iran will produce highly enriched uranium if nuclear talks fail: MP

[Behind the Aegis]

23. And they didn't debunk shit.

Here is the quote:

But while Reuters quoted Ahmadinejad as calling for Israel to be “eliminated,” the official translation of his remarks indicated that he steered clear of the fiery rhetoric he is best known for.

That is not "debunking."

The official translation did include "eliminated," but like so many because he didn't directly say it, confusion abounded, which I demonstrated when decontructing the actual statement, which CBS did not provide. Rather, you simply "took their word for it" and considered it "debunked." No fuss, no muss.

"For a leader of a country to say another will be eliminated is a threat of genocide. It's something to take seriously even if you think they wouldn't or couldn't. But it never happened."

Oh but it has! You need to actually do some research and Ahmadinejad is more a figurehead, though his words are important, others have called for the destruction of Israel. The genocide of Israel would matter to few.

And because it never happened, when someone in this thread decided to use it as reason for them to not have a nuclear program, they were doing so under a false premise.

In your fantasy, yes, but in reality, it is the NPT actually standing in the way. Poor Iran.
