How will we defend against Iran unilaterally dropping a nuke on Israel?

""But clearly, if I was the leader of Israel and I'd listened to some of the statements by the Iranian ayatollahs that regarded the security of my country, I'd be concerned about Iran having a nuclear weapon as well," Bush said.

He said Israel "is our ally and in that we've made a very strong commitment to support Israel, we will support Israel if her security is threatened.""Thank YOU!!!

The gist of GWB's statement should be read as "America doesn't mind Israel taking out Iran's N-installations should she feel at risk".

The point is to stop Iran before "dropping a bomb", because if Iran drops a bomb, there will be no need for US military aid-
The middle east will be wiped out by the Israeli response.

"How will we defend against Iran unilaterally dropping a nuke on Israel?"

Shortly after Israel is nuked we nuke Iran. We will be defended against Iran doing it to us- sorry Israel.

Crystal Clear

Roger that.

And I hope one of those nukes is aimed at Mecca. Then, "TROP" would have no holy place due to their "peace"

Maybe that's his between-the-lines message. However, I wonder how Israel feels about having to be the one to stand up to this threat...alone....again.

It is just about time to stop playing this game. A good defense is a strong offense.
 
What are we going to do, wait until Iran drops the big one? 24 hours of selective targeting should just about take care of these arrogant idiots.
 
We are not looking for immediate regime change in either Syria or Iran, although it wouldn't bother us in the least, but we cannot wait until they draw first blood. That is a recipe for disaster.

Give the go-ahead to Israel to take out their nuke facilities before they deliver a payload.

Well, we were alone in 1967 (Six Day War), we were isolated in the international arena and threatened by the combined forces of 8 Arab countries which declared their goal as the destruction of Israel.

Yet, we all know what happened in June, 1967 within 6 days...

So, there is nothing new under the sun.

I have a picture on my PC at home of an Israeli F-15I breaking-off from a USAF KC-10 refueling boom. I saw the pic on an Air Force website, and at the time thought, "Hmmm...Why would the Israeli Air Force need to have the ability to refuel mid-air? Long range mission training, perhaps?" (I suspect regular airborne patrolling may require mid-air refueling...I don't know.) At any rate, I kept the picture as a reminder and symbol of Israeli resolve to do whatever is necessary to defend Israel BEFORE an aggressor strikes.

We tell Tehran in advance that every major city in their country has already been mapped and targeted. If they attack Israel, Iran will be turned into a roiling mass of molten glass. Afterward, we give the remains to Haliburton.

Hope Isreal leads another midnight attack on Iran's nuke building plants.

That would be great.
