Adelson: US should drop atomic bomb on Iran
Jerusalem Post ^ | 10/24/2013 14:58 | MAYA SHWAYDER

ORK – During a panel at Yeshiva University on Tuesday evening, Sheldon Adelson, noted businessman and owner of the newspaper Israel Hayom, suggested that the US should use nuclear weapons on Iran to impose its demands from a position of strength.

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,

He forgot to say, "Hold my beer".

I agree with you here but this is an unprecedented event we are approaching. Israel talks the talk AND walks the walk as they say. She is consistent with REAL red lines not Obambian pretend red lines. Over the course of the last few years, Israel indeed attacks convoys in Somalia, Syria, Lebanon and of course in Gaza. In 1981 she attacked Sadam’s reactor, in 2007 she leveled Assad's nuclear facility too but Iran, Iran is a much bigger fish.
Israel has done some amazing stuff in the past and I am sure she will do EVERYTHING to prevent a 2nd Holocaust from Iran/Hizbollah/HAMAS/PLO-FATAH/Islamic Jihad/ etc.

The difference now is that the man who sits in the White Hut right now, the man-child, has already wet his undies over every single move from Russia, Iran, Egypt and all of the Middle East. He cannot be relied on by any ally, especially Israel. Why does tiny Israel have to do what the rest of the “shaking knee” West should be doing...for THEIR own good, not just Israels.

“Why risk your lives when you can get some Goy cattle to do it for you?”

Are you just being tendentious or do you have something more substantial in mind as a basis for your insinuation?

I think his suggestion — dropping one first in the middle of the Iranian nowhere, and telling them the next one is for Tehran — is about half right. The attack should be on the underground facility itself, not necessarily nuclear, with simultaneous strikes on each and every mosque and other Islamofascist compound in Iran — behead the regime, while pulling its fangs from its dead mouth.

Thanks MeshugeMikey.

73 Regarding Iran, everyone agrees that it would be very difficult for the small IAF to hit so many targets and take them all out without incurring a major retaliation and that is where we are right now. Iraq (Osirak) was one facility. Syria, was one or two facilities. What can they do vis Iran? I am assuming a major EMP EW attack over Iran followed by bombings, that's the only scenario I can envision.

What about the Israeli submarines? Are SLCMs an effective weapon against the Iranian targets? Above ground, yes. Underground, doubtful.

Israel knows Barry will not be there for them...

10-4 on that.

75 How many millions did Adelson donate to get Obama elected?

You might want to check on this. Adelson contributed to Newt Gingrich in 2012. He seems to be an exception among successful Jews in the U.S. - he leans conservative.

The American Jews have done more harm to Israel than Yasser ever did.

Can't disagree with that point. It remains a mystery to me. 75
