And, say Sluggo cuts off the oil from his country to ours, and we militarize the southern border, Mexico could also retaliate by cutting off their oil to us!

How can you expect a source like this not to be biased?

All news sources are biased to some extent. This source is pro-Israel, should I have looked for a pro-Arab one.

The Jews reckon the year 6000 in about 250 years. The end times already came for the Aztecs. And the white buffalo hasn't arrived for the Native Americans.

Time to make another cup of coffee and enjoy the sunshine of another glorious day.

I don't agree... Iran will supply the material to a terrorist group who will carry out the mission.. bottom line Israel is gone any retaliation on Iran will be met with the same liberal backlash as no WMD.. in other words we will have to PROVE IRAN did it first...

If that happens Israel will make the assumption that Iran did it. They will remove Iran as a functioning society. I would expect nuclear hits on their major military bases, and population centers. Israel can absorb a first strike(albeit with tremendous damage and loss of life) and still strike back. To destroy Israels capability to strike back it would be necessary to take out their entire Air Force, Missile Force, and their subs. That will not happen. Nor would it surprise me for them to take out Pakistan's nuclear facilities as an act of revenge, The current spread of nuclear weapons is a result of Khan of Pakistan. He sold nuclear technology to Libya, Syria, North Korea, and Iran.

G Larry has the pulse and you two are going down for the third time in your pacifist "maple syrup of defeatism".

The next thing we expect to hear from you is that you jumped off a cliff because of your convictions that "All is Lost!"

Go to church and pray for relief from your panic.

You've made my point for me!

If SanFranNan is in charge, they will try to impeach Bush REGARDLESS of whether he strikes Iran or not.

Have you noticed that Bush doesn't base his foreign policy on the polls?

If they do abosorb a first strike their retaliation capabilities will be severely limited... maybe they get on back on Tehran however, Iran doesn't care in the mind of Amadmannajad Israel will be gone... don't be too suprised if the terrorists get on in Manhatten too just to prove the point that the President has been making the oceans do not protect us from this threat.... Anyway the bottom line is that after NOV election this president will be stripped of any command authority... censure, impeachment, executive power limits, the liberals wedge issue deployment very well may win them majorities...

I hope Israel has their nukes in separate and secure locations so they all can't be taken out by a single hit.

They have submarines.

Au contraire mi amigo ( a little frogmex lingo there)..... They have nine refineries but they are incapable of producing enough gasoline and thus there is a need to import significant quantities.

They are Nine crude oil refineries in Tehran , Tabriz , Isfahan , Abadan , Kermanshah , Shiraz , Bandar Abbas , Arak and Lavan Island .

Probably not. Saddam was one to try War -by-Proxie (terrorist), but Ahmadinejad seems to want to be in the spotlight.

And the question is: what will precipitate the need for a peacemaker???

Jerusalem is a burdensome stone. The world will need a peacemaker between Islam and Israel. The anti-christ will broker that peace, but set himself up as the messiah of Israel. At some point the Israelis will wake up and understand that he is an imposter.

Well the numbnuts leader of Iran has been swearing to do the deed. And if he does it he'll be swearing he did it.

While the faithful opposition over here will never believe it most of the rest of us will.

And if he starts cooking off portabellas GWB will hold the press conference to announce Iran is gone not to request permission to do something about it.

You will not get their subs. To take out their Air Force would require multiple simultaneous nuclear strikes. To take out their missile force would require multiple nuclear strikes. To do this Iran would have to have a sophisticated and coordinated first strike nuclear capability. Iran does not have this capability. If Israel detected multiple inbound missiles they would launch before impact. It is the old use or lose game. Their sub based nuclear weapons would be held in reserve to take out what survived their first retaliatory strike. The vast majority of Nuclear Weapons that Israel possesses will survive. It should also be pointed out that Israel has thermonuclear weapons. The Iranians are years away from this technology.

Could be their calender isn't God's Calander...A billion or so muzlims and a few million Christians believe the time is NOW...

The end times already came for the Aztecs.

And the Atlanisians...

The Times of the Gentiles has to do with a few million Christians leaveing the planet earth, lots and lots of dead folks and lot of people being left here...

And the white buffalo hasn't arrived for the Native Americans.

The bible doesn't mention American Indians, or white buffalos...But then the historical American Indian legends didn't mention Christianity either...

Time to make another cup of coffee and enjoy the sunshine of another glorious day.

Yes it is...Why worry??? We can't change God's plan...We can only make sure we are ready for it...

I suppose a nuclear strike against "the West" killing hundreds of thousands or a million, more or less, of us would be enough "provication" to cause our leaders to finally wage a devistating war on radical islam.

Perhaps.

Of course the Grand Master of all Cesar Salads is planning an attack on both us and the Jooz. Why wont anyone just take him at his paranoid, psychopathic word?

Extra bonus question: what city has the most Jooooooooooooos?

Answer: New York City...

Maybe, but the Israelis won't. They have retaliatory forces that are hard enough that a bomb or three is not going to take them out. Shortly after the first bomb detonates on Israeli soil, all the major cities, plus the military installations not in cities will be smoking piles of rubble or holes in the ground.

But, it the Iranians chose to use their own delivery systems, rather than by terrorist individuals or small teams, the Israelis will likely shoot down the incoming, and then retaliate.
