I think it would be wise to coordinate with the Israelis on this.

They can take out the Nuke plant in Iran, while we drop some MOABS in the Bekka Valley.

This is the same response the U.S.A. has taken against the Cuban govt. What's it been? 30 years and Castro is still there giving lip to the U.S.

It maybe worse - one analyst said the embargo/sanctions were not going to be strictly enforced, that several high-tech companies had lobbied the administration to relax any restrictions on telecommunications/electronics. Basically it becomes a "we are going to publicly denounce you, but business will carry on as usual".

There's nothing like sanctions to essentially accomplish nothing.

Lots will likely happen before November.

Israel will almost certainly strike the reactors in Iran
using sub launched cruise missles and or jets. This will
set off a real shi*storm in the ME and be W's cue to move
against Syria and Iran. A conflagration would also make it
seem more reasonable to do something like partition Iraq
into 3 parts...giving the longsuffering Kurds their much
deserved Kurdistan.

The Syrian president has several bats in his belfry. The lights on, but nobody's home. His elevator doesn't rise to the top.

Termites in his tower. A few cards short of a full deck. If he had another brain, it'd be lonely.

Got any more?

he would not expel Palestinian militant groups as demanded by the United States.

Guess we'll just have to bomb them to oblivion then.

Does Israel have stealth aircraft? If not, maybe it's better for us to take out the Nuke site and Israel deal with Syria.
