Two Israeli missile class warships have sailed through the Suez Canal ten days after a submarine capable of launching a nuclear missile strike, in preparation for a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The deployment into the Red Sea, confirmed by Israeli officials, was a clear signal that Israel was able to put its strike force within range of Iran at short notice. It came before long-range exercises by the Israeli air force in America later this month and the test of a missile defence shield at a US missile range in the Pacific Ocean.

The rest of us can tell the difference between an ally (Israel) and an enemy pointing a nuclear bomb at us (Iran).
I also support America having nuclear weapons while opposing Iran and Nort Korea having them. Duh.
Ya better keep em topped off all the time.

You got it. I never let mine go below 3/4.
Israel has decided to go ahead. Taking into account political, geopolitical, military preparedness, and climatic conditions, there are two windows: between July 21 and 24 and between August 6 and 8. Advance teams comprised of Mossad agents and military personnel are already on the ground in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq (including in the Kurdish lands, adjacent to Turkey).

We sleep soundly in our beds because hard men stand ready to do violence on our behalf...there is nothing we can ever do to repay them...thank the God that made them....they are the best of us.

Amen to that. God bless them.
If Israel gave up all it’s weapons tomorrow, there would be another Holocaust.
If the Arabs gave up all their weapons tomorrow, there would be Peace.
Simple.
“Can you explain why Israel can have nukes and Iran can’t? I realize that Israel didn’t get them on their own (your money) but in terms of “sovereignty of a nation” explain why one sovereign nation can have them and why one can’t and then explain how you would deal with China on the issue. Thanks for your help.”
Well one example might be looking at 2 subsets of Americans who are age 24 for example. One group might be highly trained Navy pilots; the other group is in prison.
One group can be given much more responsibility than the other group.
I still can’t believe this guy! I think he is a little confused about where he is right now. Anti-Semite stuff won’t fly here. We here at FR love the America our Founding Fathers gave us and love the Israel God gave the Jews. Enough said.
Iran gives state-sponsored aid to train suicide bombers. Mutually Assured Destruction doesn’t work on people with a suicide bomber’s mentality. That’s why Iran can’t have nukes.
You aren't going to get a lot of people backing you over here. Maybe you should give DU a try ... you'll find some like-minds to your point of view.
Oh, and welcome to Free Republic.
Not quite on their own...Recall the Saudis have said they would be more than happy to turn a blind eye to any IDF planes overflying their airspace on their way to Iran, and of course Egypt as mentioned in the article.
Lock and load
Very well put!
It would not be acceptable if China nuked us in a preemptive strike for two reasons:
1. We have absolutely no intention and no likelihood of attacking China and China therefore has zero justification for such an attack and
2. In such an attack, unlike you I realize China would be killing me, my family, my neighbors, my country. Unlike you moral relativists I actually understand the significance of someone murdering me and my loved ones.
3. Because life isn’t fair, I also understand that China may launch such an attack, not because it’s “fair” or “OK” but because they are murdering, Godless communist dictators.
“there are two windows: between July 21 and 24 and between August 6 and 8”
I didn’t see an explanation in the article. Any ideas?
