IAF = Israeli Air Force. Sorry about not being more clear.
Did everyone hear that? It was a very clear shot across the bow of Iran. That was loud and clear.
I WISH that Israel would act preemptively, to take care of Iran. Someone should.
Probably has something to do with the fact that the US sold Israel a couple of thousand bunker busting smart bombs barely three months ago. I doubt they are needed to stop Palestinian suicide bombers.
I hope y'all are right.
Can you at least wait till the end of the INAGURATION... ?
Wink, wink,...nudge, nudge,... say no more, say no more
>>Cheney just raised the pucker factor>>
LOL!!! I am going to steal that term.
That's about the size of it.
"given the fact that Iran has a stated policy that their objective is the destruction of Israel,"
I'd say that covers any objections, good on Cheney.
If the Israelis do attack Iran it will be a very short war (remember when they were attacked in the six day war). I am sure they know exactly where the Iranians Nuclear locations are and they won't be shy in destroying them. It should also be noted that we are pledged to support Israel not a good position for Iran.
I wonder how the Israelis woould plan such an attack.
When attacking the reactor in osirak, or what it was called, they just had to fly over Jordan for a hit a run
Now they would have to fly over Jordan and Iraq. I can imagine Johnny Iraqi would kick up serious shit about it.
What are Israelis capabilites for longer range missions anyone???
ROFL!
Such a statement is a natural follow-up to so much of what was said, however tacitly, in the President's inaugural address.
They will be turbanated.

Actually a very clever statement by Cheney. He never says there would be consequences for such an Israeli act, just a "diplomatic mess". Lol! A clear warning to the euro-appeasers to get off the fence and take a hard line.
Sorry, I duped this reply.
