Castro fears for nuclear war in Middle East

I know..but still couldn't resist it myself!But hey I'll do this for anyone y'know..I'm not biased. Boring but not biased. & yeah biriyani is yummy..no comments on the other issue =D

ending up again in bashing & insulting:(

Reading the above comments, I always noticed this, not only in this post but in some few other threads as well, that there are always the presence of American-Isareli haters! Why is that so? I was only asking your opinion 'how Castro's words are reliable' in today's time? Because recently I've read that Medvedev had commented that Iran is actually capable of building up nuclear weapons. Statements coming from these men, the so-called leaders of the world is definitely not a joke! Now, you can bash US, Israel, Pakistan, Afghanistan for anything you like, but the fact that somewhere out there Iran & N.Korea had actually been preparing for something big!

For me, it's horrendous to think about these wars or nuclear war and I hope it won't come true! I'm not being pessimistic but the signs are already there & we who composed the tiny part of this world could do nothing but to WAIT & SEE:(

Scotiabank does his own share of bullying and insulting others. But he's a big boy who can take care of himself, I think, and a little less moderation (rather than more) might bring some life and interesting discussion to qatarliving. Unless you prefer discussing biryani and Filippina's love lives :)

Oo, you know spamming...seniormom ;))

Dear Moderators and Qatar Living contributors,

*I am putting this letter on several threads in hopes that people will see this and take notice*

I have visited Qatar Living's website for over a year, enjoying the friendly advice and informative discussions. I have never bothered signing up for an account with Qatar Living until now, because, quite honestly, I am a bit behind the times when it comes to computers. However, watching the user named Scotiabank hound other participants these past two nights has infuriated me. He is the definition of a cyber bully, violating the rules of conduct and ruining discussions.

I have watched as he follows someone across QL to hound them. Yes, others have risen to his baiting, and they should be a little embarrassed, but the user Scotiabank's behavior is shameful and against the rules. After seeing his handiwork again this evening, I took some time to look up his other posts and discovered that he has been doing this for over a year, calling names, insulting nationalities, making racist and threatening remarks, and being generally divisive and inflammatory. The moderators have deleted many of his posts for abuse and last night even threatened to remove him. It is clear he has not learned his lesson, and so the threat should be carried out. Let him back in later if you must, but put him in "time out" for a good long while.

Some say Scotiabank is an "impostor" and that he has fabricated his user identity. I have found no proof of this beyond the accusations made on quite a few occasions. Many of the posts his accusers refer to as holding proof have been deleted or edited, so I cannot pass judgment but is is a little suspicious. At the end of the day it does not really matter much as I suppose plenty of others do a little fudging on their biography page.

I suppose now this Scotiabank will take a stab at me, calling me a thug, slut, leech or whatever filth his mind can conjure. And he will then blame everyone else for his misdeeds. But I am a forty-six-year-old grandma from Texas, so hardly the type. I am Christian but I have great respect for all those who are devout in their religion and I found the devoutness of some of our Muslim neighbors to be inspirational. I am no longer in Qatar, so I have little to lose here. I just like coming on to Qatar Living and reading about what is new with a people and a country that I found to be so welcoming.

Anyway . . . I have said my peace. I will not log-on to Qatar Living for a while, because I do not what to read the nastiness that Scotiabank uses against me. Hopefully when I do come back the moderators will have removed it and him, and Qatar Living will be a better place.

With all the best and sincerest of wishes,

seniormom

In other words my fellow posters, he is attempting to save face after ranting and insulting me with his incorrect information only to get exposed twice! One for the fact itself, then claiming I relied on silly publications! LOL!

Per Scotia's post above. good for qatar for overtaking the USA as the leading producer for LNG. happy to admit that I was looking at an article from earlier in the year and was mistaken. not a big deal.

scotiabank . . . now that fellow QLers have identified you as an impostor who has fabricated a false identity here i have no desire to have exchanges with you. i enjoyed our earlier exchanges as entertaining sparing, but since you are not who you say you are that makes them creepy and meaningless. stop following me around QL and trying to engage with me by posting on my thread. i REALLY am done talking to you.

You responded to me 3 times with the same comment, funny how you chose to "stop responding" after I exposed you for your lack of knowledge and ignorance. To the other posters he started insulting me about a fact I posted on Qatar being the largest LNG producer in the world, and went on a rant about how it isn't. As soon as I posted reports from Shell, Business week and so on, he says he doesn't respond to impostors!LOL, funny internet thug.

i dont respond to impostors. go lie to someone else.

pappajons blah blah blah... anything more to say? You and you buddies resort to lying and fake facts because you don't have anything solid to stand on...just as you went on a rant about LNG's largest producer and I proved you wrong with facts! LOL

double post

so you are not even qatari? lol impostor! so i have been engaging with phantom. well . . . fool me once, shame on me.

cheers gkramer for the heads up. ive just wasted an hour arguing with the toad. now i can ignore the wannabe in good conscience. didnt think anyone could be as bitter and slavish as that. shouldve trusted my instincts. scotia keeps following me around so much that i thought he was looking for a date.

crnkshft the problem is iran don't have any accurate planes, they tested missiles before and they are very poor designed.

effective.

Not sure how many that view this thread know about Air-Fuel Bombs, but they are simple and devastating. The components to make them are likely built in every country, and the fuel to make them work is common knowledge to most college chemistry majors. This would be the best weapon that Iran could use without violating any Nuclear treaties.

The problem with the Air-Fuel type bombs is that they are heavy, and the planes that are needed to drop them are slow moving targets. Best bet you send up a huge run when no one is looking drop them and turn and run. Downside, US made Isreali fighter jets, and surface to air missiles will take out the bombers after the first run. They will also shoot down just about every jet that leaves an Iranian airtport. I think the US and Isreal would be best served to let Iran work through the UN process. Worst case scenario they make a small device and it works. This isn't WWII, Iran does not have a third Reich, or any significant infrastructure. They are land locked with something like 20 US airfields within bombing distance, and who knows how many surface to air launch sites on land and from ships. It is like Chess we have all the advantages, so taking our time a being patient seems like the best strategy. Just my opinion, I do not claim to be an expert, just thoughts...

I don't have to pretend to be hetero ;)

gkramer you still pretending to be hetero? LOL.

Scotiabank nobody sure as hell envies you, still pretending to be a Qatari huh?? LOL

Good night guys, Have Fun. Hopefully a no nuclear war world will still be there when I wake up :o)

lol, pappajohns still angry. It was around even more than that, it was a expression, is this how you enjoy your life? trying to argue on the internet? wow, i envy you.

Guys, I dont normally indulge in religous discussions on forums because i know there are deep sentiments involved, so I will leave it at that but please take it lightly if you can.

"islam was around more than 200 years ago". genius.

World will end on 8th October 2075. Y'all can sue me if it doesn't. That's how confident I am. How do I know, well I read a novel not so long ago in which it was mentioned ;)

please shapil don't mock the religion of islam with such jokes. Thank you.

sure if Nostradamus was alive, he would've been able too;-P

With all due respect, i bet Islam could not have predicted the winner of the football world cup like Paul the Octopus.

islam was around more than 200 years ago and predicted these situations, everything has been predicted in islam has been true, spread of sexual diseases, wealth in the poor gulf arab countries, and so much more.

but thats a whole other story....

yip Brit.... could be....

Scary....

Mathew 24:27 - For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Lightning could mean a nuclear war .. :O(

the bible says no second coming until israel gets all its land back. thats why so many american fundies like bush back israel. just do a google search on "Israel and second coming" and see how many site you get.

I swear I thought someone will say something to that effect..ha ha! Yeah Xena that's right. We have entered trialling times =(

Religious scriptures warn us that Castro will go crazy in his old age and start talking gibberish?

Great, I could have told you that myself

warn of this.... but so did the bible....

castro is a senile old man the cubans have stuffed away in a closet rather than let him run their country. if he had is way he will murder all the qataris and westerners in qatar and hand over the country to the south asian workers. why are giving him the time?!?!

"Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) warned us of these days" Yes yes! Scary isn't it?

the bee...how dare I deny what you said.

Aalam Panah, Tussi Great Ho...Tohfa Qabool Karo

there will be no wars when israel returns what it stole

"The world is full enough of hurts and mischances without wars to multiply them" .....

There is a need for countries in this region to come together and unite under a common cause.. They have the wealth.. They don't need the arms..

America will leave Qatar as soon as they don't need it. Best solution is for muslim countries to stop fighting and make the ummah join together and fight the right war, not fight the war for lands, Prophet (PBUH) warned us of these days, and Castro is right, this region is too volatile.

no, they are exactly waiting for your highness.

Khattak You mean the army and ISI are under the president/PMs command in Pakistan? you must be kidding brother.

gkramer

read LINC posted linc, and then come to my comment. This is wat exactly happening in region with fear and protection. They all are interconnected like an eco system.

Agreed :O)

Britexpat--And the US limits the chances of a future Qatari government deciding to "nationalize" all of its lng production and threatening the assets and revenues of Exxon.

All nations have an agenda. As gkramer said, it's a two way street. Qatar gets protection and the USA gets a base in a strategic location. Win-Win for both :0)

Iran doesn't even have nuclear weapons, so its all theoretical.

Dot.Com do you think they are idiots for allowing US army base in Qatar?

That is the smartest thing they have ever done. Iran or Saudi will take Qatar out the day the US army leaves.

Dot.Com--Do you mean the USA as the big dog? If so, the US is never going to leave. Just ask Cuba, Japan, Germany, Britain, Philippines, etc., etc., etc. Once they are in, they are there to stay. But then the choice for a small country like Qatar is which big dog to deal with. Which would you choose?

He is right about computers and plans. Apart from that he seems way off the mark. He is with the non aligned movement so as we make Iran into a bogey man, he is doing the same with the USA and Israel.

I can't see any scenario where the Middle East would ever be involved in a nuclear war ....

linc

i'm agree with you until these idiots remain in power, and give an excuse to big dog for their stay in region.

Fidel Castro - yeah, a normally reliable source.

Mandi

No way Iran attacks the military base in Qatar as retaliation for what either Israel or US does to it. It would quickly alienate its neighbors and give them an excuse to take a more aggressive stance against Iran (Saudi is already doing this). Besides, the US military presence in Qatar is probably the only reason why Iran is not claiming the Qatari gas fields in gulf as its own. Just ask the Emirates about this:

http://www.examiner.com/x-7095-NY-Israel-Conflict-Examiner~y2010m5d9-Major-Mideast-misconceptions--3-Israel-occupies-Judea-Samaria-and-Gaza-Part-2

Robert Gates (the US Secretary of Defense) is not Rumsfeld; and he is not about to support another war of occupation. The US is far more likely to conduct air attacks on limited (if any) ground strikes designed to shake Iran's infrastructure and economy--what happened to Serbia but on a larger scale.

Someone seems to be obsessed with Pakistan. This piece of reliable, unbiased & rational information is quite useful. Keep it coming guys.....we need to learn more about our country on this forum.

Pakistan has no choices left/ it has no ruler. PM will say something which the army dont listen ;>

not really it’s just semantics…not gonna go crazy 'bout it.

Thank God we are peaceful here.

Bink

does it make it different from Defense minister of a parliamentary system?

btw, i asked it as a joke, why you guys took it serious?

Bebsi & Bobcorn Time???

We could throw in India and Pakistan into the mix here, but I believe India would not use their nuclear power in this way. I do not think the US would use its anti-missile defenses to stop India from lighting up Pakistan; I think we would just sit back and watch. I recommend that Pakistan work with the west for peace.

Bink why do you all ignore who pilfered the technology to IRAN? its that idiot Paki scientist

world war III?

Dot.Com we do not have any Ministers in the US, except in church.

Just as a note.... The missiles that Israel has will actually work… as they were built by the only nation to use nuclear weapons against an enemy. Not to mention the US have an anti-missile defense system in many places here in the gulf religion.

Iran on the other hand, they have home built Chinese and North Korean designed missiles. And if the test fires of the Iranian and North Korean missiles are the examples of their effectiveness, then only Iran should be worried.

Castro is obviously trying to say his views about the possibility of war in this volatile region,he and most other leftist latin american leaders are staunchest critics of Israel by the way.

the all knower of world politics? The old guy's probably paranoid that too about ME..lol!

You mean the secretary of defense, right?

Now how will you believe that I haven't googled it if i tell you.

will gkramer, i believe on you

be honest, dont google

who is your defence minister ;)

I never followed Fox, the only American paper I follow is Dallas Morning News. I just follow what Reuters puts up on their website.

...but the reality check should not be influenced by Fox News ;)

Khattak a reality check is always good for mental health :o)

gkramer...day dreaming is not good for mental health.

they are God gifted items, who will dare to deny :O)

You are listening to them and dare I say following them ;)

no , we must listen to big dog and his beloved.

Ya right, now we should listen to Castro's comments on world politics.

castro's statements are the side effects of his sickness and age.

I wonder what US & Israel can get of declaring WAR to IRAN? Iraq still at horrible situations after the WAR created by US & British..men life is too short!

but, if it so, then this is not a joke!

Israel attacking Iran...Iran attacking the US base here in reaction .... And Bang Bang.
