I believe this article is accurate.
Perhaps this is the scenario depicted in Ezekiel 38...if it is, expect other nations to attack Israel first and simultaneously, not the other way around. Persia (Iran) is named as an invader. But according to the text, the attacking nations are all destroyed. Interesting.
What the F are we, king's of the world? Containment for a while might be a plan...
I don't buy this by the USA, Israel possibly.
I've got this one bookmarked. :)
The US wants nothing to do with more war; they are simply too costly politically, unless a real opportunity presents itself.
Israel, perhaps, but a international containment and isolation plan would be needed first and the world's corrupt nations will not co-operate. It is an unpleasant situation, which is why Iran feels they can afford to push the envelope.
If Israel actually had serious concerns about Iran, then they would destroy Iran.
Israel probably has the intel to do this job but it doesn't have the reach. We are the only ones who can do this job.
But this had better be part of a larger, comprehensive plan to take down the ayatollahs, because when we do this, the mad mullahs are going to be looking for payback.
We had better have covered all of our bases.
And then? The UNSC discusses it? They continue to build. A harshly-worded resolution? They continue to build. International sanctions? They continue to build.
Frankly I don't see military activity in the form of air raids working either given what we now know about the Iranian tunnels. And Israel and the United States aren't going to do a preemptive nuclear strike. Checkmate.
There are a number of people who are just sure that a nuclear Iran is a healthy counterbalance to U.S. hegemony. Inasmuch as most of them are at a much closer range to Iran than the U.S. is that may prove to be an inconvenient point of view. Once Iran does go nuclear we will be in a Mutually Assured Destruction relationship between them and Israel. With the U.S. there won't be anything "mutual" about the assured destruction. Same with Great Britain, Russia, and China, and that's about it.
One day the United States may be forced to take on Iraq.
The truly sickening part of it will be one week later people like Hillary Clinton and Fat Ted and John Kerry will be saying there was no proof Iran had any Nuclear intentions and trying to divide the United States again for their own political power. Those common SOB's.
And none too soon. ".... and the states who harbor them ...."
Is Hanoi john going to vote YES before he votes NO?
Doubtless, all Hell will break loose.
This is something I have been pondering for some time now; Iran seems intent on proceeding with its nuclear program. Israel will never allow them to complete such a thing, which of course means overt military action. The world is an extremely dangerous place right now, and personally I see the Middle East as a powder keg ready to ignite. Iran will be the focal point.
I think this is an overly optimistic statement.
There are several churches open in Iran and ZERO in Saudi Arabia. 9/11 bombers did not come from Iran either.
What kind of logic is that???
The Saudis are deathly afraid of the mad Shi'ites of Teheran
Short range nukes aimed at a free and democratic Iraq. Got your attention?
We will have to something about Iran soon. Already, the more sophisticated IEDs that are killing our troops are being supplied by Iran. Airstrikes won't begin to attrit their r&d facillities - too many, too spread out, most underground.
what do u think?
