Iran ponders preempting Israel IsraCast
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
All this will happen in Jan. if Obama is elected (maybe even election day.)
Israel will NOT allow Iran to go nuclear. Iran may think an election day strike against Israel will catch us off guard.
“Israel should be prepared to strike first. “
So the iranians will have a good excuse to strike back ?
Sorry but a “preemptive strike” is always a agression. And most agressions get some retailiation. Maybe Iran won’t strike back directly but Israel would get another intifada for sure.
They should do it right now so that it will give the American people the time to think if they really want 0bama to face such an issue.
You’d think such an attack would be a gift from heaven for Israel, helping sway world opinion a little towards it protecting itself. No way! The vast anti-Israel sentiment in Europe and the US Left will find a way to denounce Israel for being attacked, and rationalize any Iranian actions.
“They should do it right now so that it will give the American people the time to think if they really want 0bama to face such an issue.”
I think we should first finish the other mid east stuff before starting another engagement down there. The Oil price just dumped below 70 bucks. No need for me to see it again above 150$.
If any Jewish voters are reading this thread you cannot allow Obama any near the Oval Office if you care about Israel.
The first loser would be... Obama. the second would be... Iran.
Iran Recommend Preemptive Strike Against Israel
Yeah right that that has worked before...
lol
Your statement is accurate that Jews should not think Obamma is for Israel. But don’t expect Jews to vote for McCain. They ALWAYS vote lib dem.
Most understand that it is easier to defend than attack.
Please Iran, Try, just Try to attack Israel and you will see defeat.
I would think that it's easier to attack than to defend because you choose the time and place, and what resources to use where.
Israel has trained for decades how to repel any attack from any aggressor. As well as multiple aggressors.
The only thing we are debating at this point is whether Israel is to be attacked before they grow the nads to take out Irans nuke program.
I think if Irans economy tanks then yes they may just be foolish enough to go after Israel. I also think that would be suicide for Iran.
If Israel truly feels it’s existence is threatened as a result of Iran gaining nuclear status it will take out that threat.
Also, talk to most any military person, unless you have overwhelming firepower and are willing to use it, it is easier to defend.
Ask the Vietnamese.
If Israel is attacked by Iran, the gloves come off. Israel is not developing nukes and missiles, they have them.There might be a temporary political stink over this in the UN , but hey, we have veto power on the security council
Somehow I still think they try to ‘show off’ it’s an Islamic way in this century.
Sorry, but this is absurd. Iran knows that Israel does have nukes and wouldn’t hesitate to use them. I’m not buying it that Iran would do something that suicidally insane.
Yes, I know that Aqua-velva-dab is full of it, but not everyone in Iran is as nutty as he is.
If yet another war breaks out in the Middle East, be prepared for truly dire economic consequences here, not to mention what the Shia in Iraq might do.
