We have this magic device called "radar" that is capable of tracking aircraft. It wouldn't be hard to tell where it came from. :)

How refreshing. I hope I see it on Fox News tonight.

"Any Freepers have a problem with this?"

Nope.

Just believe though, that Israel has all the firepower they need to wipe out all of their neighbors anytime they want to.

I say to them - start the countdown to missle launch now.

I just don't see Americans caring enough to get physical.

The odds of an Iranian jet being allowed to get that close to Israeli airspace is exactly nil.

During the Yom Kippur war, President Nixon had a virtual air bridge of supplies running to Israel


People often forget all that this great president did for the country, he was thrown under a bus by the Media and the dems

He doesn't have the nerve to do anything, and Iran knows it.

Well, we may have the chance to find out.

You're believing the polls a little too much. If I were Iran, I wouldn't be too inclined to find out if Dubya is bluffing or not.

Personally, I think he very definitely is NOT.

Thank you for noting my manliness, by the way. :P

Your rude disrespect for our President -- and your obvious bloating with the MSM kool-aid indicates that you are asking to be the target in a game of Whack-a-Mole -- but I see lots of others are already slapping you around a fair bit...

It's not like you didn't ask for it...

OK hitman, you are intent on proving that Tel Aviv will be nuked and no one will do a damn thing about it. I've already pointed out several times that Israel has its own nukes, and damn well would use them. On who? Iran certainly at this point, on any state that tried to move in and occupy, against any suspectd terrorist source of teh attack.

Now you want a perfect world where its impossible for a terrorist to use a nuke? Well, that's what we are fighting the WOT for. You are correct there is less support for Israel today. you are not correct that the US wouldn't defend Israel, and of course Israel would defend itself. AND you are changing the subject now to an untraceable terror attack, which was NOT the original point.

A nuclear launch is an easy scenario. What happens if a weapon get carried in by truck with no easily descernable point of origin?

What are you going to do then?

Someone else called me a mole, and addressed it to you also. So I addressed my response to you, also. Sorry for the confusion.

What you are saying is the longstanding line. I don't doubt that. I just don't think if push came to shove, it would work out that way.

As for the point you are asking me to concede, I have said in other posts that I don't think Israel would respond that overwhelmingly to a nuke attack at all. In fact, the survivors would probably look for a quick way to a truce.

Hope I'm wrong.

re: And if Israel is attacked, watch how fast that opinion changes.)))

Do you really think so? My own take is that interest and support for Israel has declined enormously. Democrats used to support Israel--all that's left is Leiberman. US Jews don't really support Israel--76% voted against Bush, and Kerry is not pro-Israel.

All Israel really has in the US are pro-Israel evangelicals--you know, those nutty fundamentalists that the neocons are afraid of. The World Council of Churches is pro-Pali with nary a whisper of indignation from most of this country's intellectuals.

Most of those who really care about Israel are posting on this forum. The rest of the world just wants Israel to go away and stop embarrassing them.

Who says it would be an Iranian Jet? I just said a passenger jet.

I liked just the first part of your reply, which I have shortened appropriately:

"Who do you nuke in response? The liberals in congress[.]"

"Maybe it means that many of us have to start carrying weapons for our own defense."

I honestly think it will come to that... gotta love the 2nd amendment. Are you just starting? haha

Outstanding.

Now, just add Taiwan in there and the world will be just.

I don't think Dubya would survive the political aftermath of nuking another country. He'd be run out of office. A president can't do whatever he wants. Without the support of most Americans, he is weak.

"Stop being ridiculous by inferring critics of one policy transfer that to another."

I agree Soul. This Bushbot poster believes that any critics of some of G.W.'s policies automatically disagree with all of G.W.'s policies.
