One item that I have only recently understood is our real reason for choosing Iraq. As it sits now, Iran must go through the US lines to attack Israel. Or send nuclear weapons over our troops. In either case the sleeping tiger will be awakined. I don't see the US attacking Iran until this happens. I wonder if the Mullahs could be this anxious to welcome the 12th Imam.
Next year in Jerusalam!

Someone here on FR has occasionally posted a map showing troop locations in the middle east - it's quite telling, because Iran is virtually surrounded.
"Iran gets the bomb."
Unless Israel acts.
"Well, then, there's really nothing to worry about, is there?"
No. Of course, the definition of "not destroyed" is a loose one when you consider the Holocaust. (I am an American Jew.)
Right, or on warning of imminent attack.
And, right.
Are you referring to the Bibical warnings about "the Kings of the East and the Kings of the West"?---of so, we may be closer than we think to the final ending of this wicked world---of not close, at least we are well on the way---Amen
Iran gets some of ours conventional, not nuclear and not too long from now.
Thay's exactly what he did. It's not obligatery the military use of the nukes against Israel, but even the threat of a possible use is sufficient.
Oh, they do care... they prefer them dead.
There is going to be a large glass parking lot in the middle east. Where and when are the only questions yet to be answered.
How?
Which Middle East enemies will Israel be able to overfly to deliver an attack?
On 2nd thought, lets assume they get a pass flying to Iran since most of Iran's neighbors
wouldn't mind having Iran's nuke program whacked.
But the return trip home would also have to overfly enemies.
Bet those enemies would then try to take out Israels aircraft.
A face saving gesture on their part.
Your thoughts?
There was time when I favored this concept, too. Unfortunately, the tools for creating it are not precise enough. I mean, some of the places I do care about and cherish very much inevitably will be covered with that substance.
So now I prefer daisy cutters.
Hey great question, but Israel has already done this once flying 1000km over the desert there and back to take out the nuclear reactors, and if hostile countries try to take out Israel's aircraft then so be it. Last time Israel took on the entire Arab world it only took them 6 days to clean house!
Assuming they could muster enough aircraft to actually strike multiple targets at that distance, how likely are they to get back?
Please be specfic on which countries you think will allow overflights to the returning IAF.
Yes, we oppose you trying to nuke Israel to end them and we do believe Israel should live on, at least well pat YOU.
Oh, and welcome to FreeRepublic.
Exactly, ya anti-semitic putz.
We should run a JDAM down their stupid well just to p*** them off. >:(
