"Essentially, what this all boils down to is that Iran's nuclear facilities will have to be taken out, and soon. Clearly, Israel cannot have these fanatical mullahs in possession of nukes - one nuke would wipe out the tiny state. I think it's a fair bet that Israel will take preemptive action against Iran's nuclear capabilities within the year."

Anyone think we need to pre-empt Israel on taking Irans nukes out?

It seems like Israel doing it could lead to muslims uniting in the WOT, if the already arent...and what else? a nuclear armageddon in the mid east?

Not an expert, just a thought. They are just as much our enemies, the Iran Gov that is.

Between the election and Iraq, we're being distracted from the very dangerous activities of Iran, which must be addressed forthwith. The mullahs are conniving a mile a minute on many fronts. Sadly, the majority of Iranians are very good people held captive by the ayatollah and his foreign henchman.

In an article over at Fox News, it states: "Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters Sunday that Tehran wants only 'stability and security in Iraq'...Grand Ayatollah Kazem al-Hosseini al-Haeri, al-Sadr's Iran-based spiritual mentor, has said it wasn't yet time for military confrontation with the United States. Iran is believed to be trying to win influence with both al-Sadr and Iraq's most influential Shiite cleric, the Iranian-born Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Sistani".

Sure, the ayatollahs don't want "direct confrontation" when they can effectively create damage and chaos behind the scenes.

After "no wmd" in Iraq, the U.S. will not undertake another unilateral war/first strike for anytime in the near future. Even if Bush wins re-election. Not syria, not lebanon, not iran. Iran can now only be handled by a United Nations coalition (or Isreal acting alone without U.S. help). Hans Blix to the white courtesy phone please.
