ATOMIC Iran PING!
But the vaunted "international community" told Bush and Rice to step out of the way, we can do it better!
Now the world sees their "negotiations" work, as well as they did with Saddam and Sons for 13 years straight.
There is always Hope. Even at the bottom of Pandora's box.
BOOM BOMB ~ Bump!
There's going to be a showdown. I'd bet on the cowboy.
On some sunny, beautiful morning we may find out the mullahs have atomic bombs only because we see a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv or New York City.
Were either of those events to occur, then I am absolutely certain that by the time that sunny, beautiful morning was over, most or all of Iran's major cities would be smoking, radioactive slag heaps. Count on it, especially from Israel, which would be effectively destroyed as a country by the detonation of a single atomic device.
One day, American children will play "Cowboys and muzzies"..
I'm thinking Tel Aviv won't be around much longer unless the US stops Iran, and soon.
You're delusional. Multicultural, Politically correct Europe and the US would never do this. They, unlike the Mullahs have scruples and morals. They'd think of all the innocent lives before they thought about getting the Mullahs.
I'm not sure I would agree. Nuking a city would require an overwhelming response, designed to make the idea of doing something like that by anyone else be off the table. Anything else would be encouraging further use of nuclear weapons.
Unless then the paks took the opportunity to nuke the Indians, the Russians the Chechyans, the North Koreans, Japan, ashes, ashes, all fall down.
But when I consider that the British response to having 50 of their citizens killed and hundreds wounded then another attempt made 2 weeks later, I get pessimistic. Their first move was to force through Parliment a law that forbids bad-mouthing Islam.
President Bush might. But Chiraq is a lefty. Schroeder is a lefty. Blair is a lefty.
And our left's response will be, "Hey, we used nukes. Why can't other people?"
Hope you're right. Dunno though.
The Europeans probably wouldn't, I tend to agree (but maybe the Froggies would grow a pair if gay Pari were go up in smoke). Also, buried deep (VERY deep) the Brits actually have a working pair somewhere on their islands. As for the US, I have no doubt that the anti-US sentiment, doubts, etc. would disappear as the mushroom cloud was scattered downwind. That would be a wake-up call that would make Pearl Harbor look like a some little kid who cold-cocked his playmate.
Anyhow, I addressed the US and Israel, not the Euroweenies. I assume that you have few doubts about what the Israelis would do - I have none.
I saw a commentary shortly after the Yom Kippur War on WNEW in NY by Dr. Martin Abend. In it, he carefully detailed where Israel would likely strike in the event of another surprise attack - one that was about to succeed, as that one almost did. Featured prominently was the Aswan High Dam, and it was mentioned that all of Egyptian civilization would be swept away in a matter of a few hours by a wall of radioactive water. I have often wondered where Abend got his information...it could be that the Israelis gave him some so that Egypt and others would be not-so-gently warned not to attempt a repetition of 1973.
Thanks for the ping. I had been expecting to hear MORE from Dr. Corsi after the EU3 flopped like we all knew they would. Since most Americans are caught up in party mode and most of the world is snoozing, I sure hope that the President and Israel are listing.
Somehow, I don't think that will stop the mullahs in Iran. They will annihilate the state of Israel and hide in their bomb shelters thinking they will be the heroes of the Islamic world, what's left of it anyway.
The current Iranian regime cannot be allowed to acquire atomic weapons.
It's amazing how pessimistic most of the posters in this thread are. Way to appreciate the resolve of your country and allies, guys.
When I was a student at the Air War College in 1972, one of our speakers was the Israeli ambassador. During the question period after his talk, one of our class clowns asked the amabassador what were the Israeli release procedures for nuclear weapons, and whether the Aswan High Dam was near the top of the target list. Naturally the ambassador gave a noncommittal reply. That's what he's paid to do, and he was good at it.
