  6. They built it for them under Bush so its not like Bush stopped them

    Under Bush-Russia supplies reactor,no tough sanctions against Iran,Russia sells Iran weapons


    Under Obama-Russia supplies reactor,Russia agrees to tough sanctions against Iran,Russia agrees to stop weapon sales to Iran


    Obama 2-1
    Bush 0-3

    has nothing to do with troop count. support is measured in terms of policy, voice and yes, troops. but not only troops.

    still, the fact that bush managed to convince all those countries to provide military assistance to an unjust war (and yes, i believe it was unjust) is an accomplishment.

    even if you don't want to admit it.

    so your score above is based on only the events in your inclusion? how convenient that must be. incidentally, the reactor was finished while obama was in office (he was unable to get them to stop).

    just curious, what weapons did russia sell iran during the bush years? was it the same stuff the russians have been selling during the obama years? (helicopters, etc) because they still sell them, genius.

    they may have canceled the advanced weapons, but the arms are still flowing. your statement "russia agrees to stop weapon sales" is not 100% accurate, is it.

  9. Those countries sent a token amount of troops to stay friends with the US.Most of those countries get foreign aid from the US and when a disaster strikes they will need the US.

    Russia, Iran Defend Weapons Deal

    Saturday, December 03, 2005

    MOSCOW —

    Russia's weapons sales to Iran are purely for defensive purposes, a government spokesman said Saturday, in response to reports that Russia was selling $1 billion worth of weapons to Iran.

    The news reports said Russia was selling Iran advanced missiles and other systems, but the Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mikhail Kamynin, did not comment on specifics, saying in a statement only that they were "exclusively defensive weapons."

    Kamynin said the sales fully complied with nonproliferation commitments and Russian law.

    The statement appeared timed to head off the heated reaction expected from the United States after Russian media reported Friday that officials had signed contracts in November that would send up to 30 Tor-M1 missile systems to Iran over the next two years.

    The Interfax news agency said the Tor-M1 system could identify up to 48 targets and fire at two targets simultaneously at a height of up to 20,000 feet.

    A high-ranking Iranian official downplayed the deal, telling the official Islamic Republic News Agency on Saturday that Iran buys arms from many countries and would not stop.

    "Iran's and Russia's military cooperation is not a complicated issue," said Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. "It existed before, and there was no ban on it."

    On Friday, Israel carried out a successful test of its Arrow missile defense system, intercepting and destroying a missile similar to Iran's long-range Shahab-3.

    Israel considers Iran its biggest threat, and does not believe the Muslim theocracy's claims that its nuclear program is peaceful. Israeli concerns were heightened recently after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged that Israel be "wiped off the map."
