Sheldon Adelson: Nuke Iran’s Desert as Warning, Then Nuke Tehran
Newsmax ^ | Wednesday, 23 Oct 2013 04:01 PM | Melissa Clyne

A harmless warning shot to the desert—in the form of a nuclear missile—is the United States’ only hope of persuading Iran to halt its nuclear program, says billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson.

If that doesn’t work, he said, another missile should be sent to annihilate Tehran.

During a panel discussion Tuesday at Yeshiva University entitled “Will Jews Exist? Iran, Assimilation and the Threat to Israel and Jewish Survival,” Adelson, a staunch conservative and supporter of Israel, said there is no negotiating with Iran. The country needs to know the United States has a zero-tolerance policy. …

What is it with these social liberals making such ultra-hawkish statements that they know that they would never want to do in reality? (Never mind Newsmax calling him a “staunch conservative” when he is anything but.)

Obama will drop a nuclear bomb on Israel instead.

Don’t forget, the Teleprompter in Chief said, “All options are on the table”.

We just assumed he was referring to Syria or Iran when in fact, he meant Israel.

Bomb ‘em back to the stone age, indeed. LeMay knew how to get the job done. Of course, with the Iranians, the stone age is still recent history.

The real solution would be to annihilate Iran while Obama is visiting and licking Ahmadinejad’s butt.

It would save the Jews *and* America.

Why waste energy on the desert?

Use Mecca as the demo site.

Because it’s the future, son.

Jews have always leaned left. Support of large-State terror masquerading as self-defense does not surprise me one bit.

Warning shots are never a good idea, but a serious shot in earnest is often the best option.

A few mullahs, generals and top scientists here & there might get their attention...

"these social liberals making such ultra-hawkish statements"

The liberal Jewish hawks left the democrat party in the 70s because the anti-war movement was taking over the democrat party, to become conservative Jewish hawks in the GOP, known as Neoconservatives or NeoCons.

Irving Kristol was the leader of the NeoCons back then and his son, Bill Kristol, leads that group today.

They are one of the most powerful groups in the GOP today, because there are now many gentiles in the group. People like Dick Cheney, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, etc.

Yeah, let’s nuke the desert of a country where we are not in a state of war. And let’s do it without warning, and without any international support.

What could possibly go wrong.

Where is that 800 bully hotline.

If you believe Iran consists of cave dwelling morons, you are just displaying your criminal ignorance.

They ain’t Arabs, Ahab. They are Persians. And they ain’t easy like Iraqis.

If we nuke even an empty desert in Iran, what does that say to our world nuclear adversaries - Russia, China, North Korea? That using nukes first is now OK? Does that then give them the green light to use nukes, when & where they see fit? Would China do a similar demonstration over territorial disputes in Asia?

Iran can be convinced to end their nuclear weapons program without using nuclear weapon. A substantial conventional attack on Iranian infrastructure would turn the lights out, cut off the water, & shut down their economy. Destroying their petroleum assets would impoverish them. Targeted attacks on their leadership would terrorize the mullahs if it didn't kill them. The Republican Guard, naval/air assets could be bombed to irrelevance. The “democratic” opposition could seize power with US backing.

Then, send in the ground troops to verify & destroy all Iranian NBC facilities. Ground troops are the only sure way of verifying the NBC facilities & stocks are completely destroyed.

We did it twice to Iraq with great military success. Remember where we found Saddam? The mullahs surely do.

Using nukes is a Pandora's Box that need not be opened. Iran will not be "fixed" by quick & easy, push button methods.

Don't expect Obama to do anything about Iran. A nuclear war, if there is one, will be between Israel & Iran, embroiling the whole Middle East in a NBC war of extermination against Israel & each other.

Nowhere in my response did I say or imply that Iranians were Arabs so don’t concern yourself with my ignorance until you’ve learned how to read. And my name isn’t Ahab, f—kchops.
