Bloomberg material can't be posted, so I am using an indirect search link for the story.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
Israel tapped us on the shoulder yesterday, reminding us publicly who's on the front lines in the Middle East.
No. Remember the Manhattan Project was still designing the mechanics of the bomb while they were enriching uranium. Iran could have all the whazoos and widgets in place, just waiting for a core of uranium.
Umm, right. Are you prepared to be the scourge of the world for the next 100 years? All nations will cut off economic trade with the U.S. and we probably would be attacked by another nuclear state, like China or Russia.
Not to mention, a nuclear strike would destroy all evidence of a nuclear program. No, hitting another country with nuclear weapons should be the very, VERY last resort.
"Call us when their missiles have a range of 7000 miles."
Then it would be too late. Iran isn't like the old Soviet Union. They wouldn't hesitate.
This is the most important crisis of our times. Iran, if given the chance, would not hesitate to bomb Tel Aviv.
I think we need to respond and fast. The nuke option cannot be used.
I heard Rush read it from a story in the Washington Post yesterday.
