Well, let's see now. America has caved to Iran, all but guaranteeing that the mad mullahs will continue their push to develop a nuclear weapon; while now getting $100 billion, give or take a few rials, to spread around the world supporting terrorist groups. While Obama may think this is a good thing, Israeli PM Netanyahu feels different, and is unlikely to let Iran achieve a nuclear device. Thus, we must consider when, not if, Israel moves to strike against Iran's nuclear sites.
Guess the date (xx/xx/xxxx) on which Israel launches a strike against Iran's nuclear sites.
The FReeper who comes closest,without exceeding the actual date is the winner.
One hint: Israel's elections were this past March. Since, according to the Israeli constitution, elections for the Knesset must be held no later than every four years ( though most elections in Israel are called early) the latest a new election can be held is March 2019. One would assume that Netanyahu would order the attack BEFORE any election.
We'll bookmark the thread, as well as print out a hard copy, and assuming that the left hasn't managed to shut down political discourse on the internet, we'll announce the winner.
There's lots of factors to consider. If a Republican wins the WH, does that make an Israeli attack more likely ( figuring they'll now have US support) or less likely (thinking the US will now put more pressure on Iran)? If Hillary wins the presidency, is Israel likely to move quickly, or wait and see exactly what she does? Or could they bomb sometime between Election Day and the inauguration?
Oh, yeah..what's the prize? Aside from the fame and glory of being recognized as a superb prognosticator, (and a likely job offer from the CIA and/or DIA as an intelligence analyst,) I'll donate $100 to FR in the winner's name.
Have at it!!!!!
During the blood moon in September?
Hopefully while Obama is still in office so they can put the thumb directly in his eye.
The alternative is to guess the date that Iran will explode their first bomb..and it may not be a test.
Not in my lifetime. (I’m 56)
never/never/never?
Should have brought it down in 2003.
July 15, 2015? Too soon I know but I’m sure they’ve been planning and rehearsing for a year now at least.
To be honest I don’t see it happening if you are referring to an airstrike. Something a little more covert I could believe. But in the spirit of the contest I will make a swag (strategic wild a$$ guess) and go with November 13th. It’s on a Friday this year and coincides with another event that blessed our world! That event would be my birthday!
And blowhard Kerry's too.
What’s your deadline for predictions?
12th of Never.
The sooner the better
Mossad will assure that their top scientists have inexplicable “accidents.”
The day before Scott Walker or Ted Cruz takes the oath of office....
I’ll go with 11/29/2016. A few weeks after President Cruz is sworn in.
09/23/2015
Yeah, I think you are correct...an indirect approach not a direct one. First off, I don’t think short of a nuke attack, they would take out their program now and that would give the entire anti israel crowd a pretense to wipe them out. Second, if they did a direct attack, our tyrant would shut them down, probably shoot down their planes or something worse.
I foremost blame the GOPe for giving us an unelectable candidate in 2012 and by electing the tyrant. Bad in his first term, he has been exactly what I predicted he would be once reelected and allowed to go on without restraint.
After the radiation levels drop from their doing what we should have done?
Not until after Iran has nuked Israel first. Israel is hopelessly tied down and compromised by Obama.
