Asked by moderator Rabbi Shmuley Boteach whether the US should negotiate with Iran if it were to cease its uranium enrichment program, Adelson retorted, “What are we going to negotiate about?”

Adelson then imagined what might happen if an American official were to call up an Iranian official, say “watch this,” and subsequently drop a nuclear bomb in the middle of the Iranian desert.

"Then you say, ‘See! The next one is in the middle of Tehran. So, we mean business. You want to be wiped out? Go ahead and take a tough position and continue with your nuclear development. You want to be peaceful? Just reverse it all,

It won't be the same scenario, the long bloody war could follow the nuke strikes by Israel against detestable enemies. The world, to "save face", will strike out at Israel in retaliation.

Didn’t Obama say we could absorb a blow?

That's what Reggie Love said.

This is apparently the full text of Obama’s “absorb” comments to Bob Woodward. It’s unclear what he’s getting at, but he spends all the time talking about prevention and doesn’t bring up the notion of retaliation at all.

I remember when they took out Sadams site....was so cool....Israel called the Us and told them what they had just done...the response was "You don't say"....lol...nobody was concerned.

I think I read about that in The Samson Option....was a good read I enjoyed.

Nope. No warning shots. It's either for keeps or shut up.

Frickin' amateurs.

Just to clear away all those abandoned lots. Why use 100 bulldozers when one bomb could clean up that mess of a city. I am saying that, and I was BORN there...
