Giuliani: Attacking Iraq led to Iran halting their nuke program

[sabra]

He's right in a way... We did a big favor for Iran, and got rid of Saddam....

The Republican national frontrunner said "if the National Intelligence Estimate is correct" then the pressure the United States put on countries like Iran worked.

'It worked in 2003 to get him to back off their nuclear program,' said Giuliani. 'And what happened in 2003? What big thing happened in 2003? We deposed Saddam Hussein. America showed massive military force in the country right next to Iran called Iraq.'

1. ROTFLMAO!!!

OMG, just when you really think they can't say anything dumber!

:rofl:

2. I still don't understand why it's so hard for other people to do what we did in the 40s

I know that Oppenheimer and Feynman were both incredibly smart, as well as everyone else working on the Manhattan project, but what the hell?

[Zywiec]

9. Exactly. I mean why hasn't Iran gone to the moon yet?

We did that like almost 40 years ago...

3. rudy, attacking Iraq will allow Iran to take it over

It will be interesting to see if the stupidity of Americans is what I think it is

[NewJeffCT]

4. Umm, no it didn't Rudy

European leaders sat down and negotiated with Iran while lil Georgie refused to be at the table with them.

[gratuitous]

5. Wow, is there anything crimes against humanity can't accomplish?

We should perpetrate more of them!

6. ....and his TV ad proclaiming Reagan freed the Iran hostages

:puke:

7. And Israel mothballed its nuclear program, too. And Pakistan and India. It worked swimmingly

throughout the region.

8. And if Putin doesn't straighten up soon....look out, Finland.

10. Wondeful!!!

I almost spit out my soup! Very funny, Tanyev!

11. Whoremonger! er um Warmonger! n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

12. Is Rudy done yet?

I sure hope so. He's about as dumb as Bush, saved only by the grace he is a better public speaker.

[Beausoleil]

13. Exactly!

They saw what happens to countries that don't have nukes - like Iraq! They must have decided that they would rather be attacked than to have nukes. Or is it better to let everyone believe that you have nukes, get attacked and embarrass the hell out of the stupid attackers when they find out you were pretending?

I wouldn't put anything past those evil, conniving Iranians. They're trying to make us look ridiculous!

14. "the country right next to Iran called Iraq.'"

Just in case any of his knuckle-dragging audience didn't know that, eh?

[zbdent]

15. So Iran stopped its program in early 2003 after seeing the success of the invasion

of Iraq in later 2003 .... Where's Mr. Peabody's wayback machine?

[spanone]

16. out of his fucking mind....maybe if we invade africa, india would give up their nukes,

when one of these prez wannabes says something this stupid, the media should just laugh in their faces.
