An impeachable offense

This is serious business. What no one seems to want to talk about in public is the fact that the negotiations between Iran, the United States and its allies have the potential to lead to a world war. If Iran is seen by Israel to be close to developing a nuclear warhead to go with its ready missiles, the odds are that Israel will launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran’s nuclear sites. However, Iran has managed to diversify its nuclear laboratories all over the country, thus vastly complicating the targeting for such a strike and also making its capabilities much more likely to survive such attacks and then to retaliate. If that happens, the United States will have to support Israel, and there is a good chance that Russia will side with Iran. Like the Sarajevo assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand in an obscure country which led to World War I, this confrontation could lead to another world war. The stakes thus are very high. What should we do? The Obama administration has decided to try to negotiate away this threat. The carrot the West holds is the sanctions which were in place before this negotiation began, and a significant portion of which were cancelled as a condition for the talks to begin. These and more stringent sanctions are also the stick held by the West. The goal of the West is to eliminate or at least delay Iran’s progress toward possession of a nuclear capability. At issue is the likelihood for enforcement of whatever commitments Iran might make regarding its nuclear program. The West is insisting on “intrusive inspections” by Western authorities to certify Iran’s

Obama released Israel defense data.

I promise to look the other way if I see any Mossad agents.

Yes, but how will that affect Obama's legacy, and Michelle's chances in the California Senate race?

Excellent article, calling the Obama Administration what they are, traitors.

God help us when we have an entire government, both parties, willing to sacrifice the country for their political power.

“the odds are that Israel will launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran’s nuclear sites.”

What few realize is those sites are buried deep and hardened.
Unless Israel has late-model deep penetrator weapons (unlikely methinks), the only way to take those sites out is direct nuclear ground strikes.
When that happens, everyone will go all-in with everything they’ve got.

We’re not just talking WWIII, but the nuclear version thereof.

Chamberlain negotiated with Hitler (coming up just a little bit shy of a successful solution), but at least he didn’t give the man any weapons.

FAE or a B61 Mod 11 would be a great pre-strike on said hardened targets...... then cluster bomb the bejesus out of the remaining soft targets etc etc ...

Just my opinion.....:o)

Yep if Israel is forced to act they will likely have to use strategic nukes. Not a good scenario.

My plan is to just execute an EMP on Iran and then give them a list criteria they must meet to get the lights back on. Every country in the Mideast would thank us. The only downside to my plan is we would have to placate Russia and probably China. Somehow we would have to make them believe its in their interest also.

FAE would do nothing. Roast everything above ground, yes, but subterranean impact would be nil.

B61 Mod 11 would be perfect. Problem is, I doubt Israel has any, so they’d have to rely on mundane nuclear ground strikes.

Boehner is probably investing in companies that could profit from this just like the healthcare stocks he owns.

Israel needs to attack, just because they cannot get all the facilities should not stop them from attacking what they can to slow the Iranians down.

It will interesting to see who stands with Israel afterward.

FAE can with proper delivery change the psi enough to scatter some grey matter in or around.... but agree it wouldn’t be as effective on the hard centers.

Ever hear of a deep penetrator test with Mk84 JDAMS where one target was sparkled by a tacp or designated AC and then a flight of F16’s dropped milliseconds apart multiple JDAMS on same point of impact to drill a conventional hole in the deep hard target .

I think is was Satan’s Needle or some silly test name..... old age memory as to specifics eludes me yet .....it was one hell of a hole.

At least Chamberlain was just naive, looking for peace.

barry is NOT. He’s looking to directly empower Iran and our enemies. That is clear.

Why NOBODY else in DC can see this - it’s THEIR necks as well in the end, I’ll never understand.

Rather than trying to destroy the many nuclear sites that are scattered throughout Iran (some of which the Mossad may not even know about & are buried deep w/in the mountains), why can't Israel eliminate its Islamic government in Tehran? Wouldn't the new government that took the place of the Mullahs be less of a threat to both Israel & the US?

Please tell me that was sarcasm.

No one in politics has 'had our back' for many decades.

Isn't that called treason? If it is, then why is it that no one in the MSM is willing to admit that it is (Judge Andrew? Gen. Paul Vallely? Glenn Beck? Col. Ralph Peters? etc.)

Maybe this is end times and those on the so-called religious right realized it. Perhaps that is why they sat out in 2012 or went 3rd party.

ICBM. Certain warheads can penetrate nicely.

I firmly believe the world war in which you predict is ongoing. Started back in mid September of 2001. You remember that.
