Ahmadinejad will get his arse kicked when he could of had the bomb uncontested.

He can threaten the United States all he wants to. He can sail a ship near New York, and detonate a nuclear device is they have or get one. Although it would be horrific, America would survive.

When one looks at Israel, how many would it take to destroy them? Two?

Israel is not going to play around with this man. Their situation would be much too precarious in such a scenario, and they will strike first.

All this is hypothetical to the Eurotrash, the obtuse antisemitic stooges in the State Department, and the leftwing dolts in Congress, but it is very real to Israel.

They have a deranged despot at the head of a foreign nation threatening to wipe them out, and working feverishly to get the means to do it. No reason to doubt Israel will act as they see fit to preserve their survival. And woe to the cowards who would seek to deny them the right of self defense.

I agree with your assessment, but I will take it a step further.

The Arabs/Muslims had better hope Israel strikes first, as if Israel were decimated by a WMD strike, they may just decide to retaliate against ALL her enemies - Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc. with nukes on Israeli subs & in hardened silos.

Israel should inform these countries that if any of them attack Israel with WMD, then Israel will assume an attack from all of them, and respond in kind on each & every one of them. Perhaps then some REAL pressure will be applied to Iran & their ilk.

JFK did basically the same thing during the Cuban missile crisis, telling the USSR that ANY nuclear attack from ANY country on the US or its neighbors would be deemed by the US as an attack by the USSR, with full retaliation.

If Israel would announce this as policy, then perhaps the western oil consuming nations would realize that an irradiated Middle East WONT be producing ANY oil for many years to come, & will DO SOMETHING short of nuclear war to prevent this outcome.

And surely this stated policy would scare the hell out of Iran's & Israel's neighbors, prompting them to exert pressure on Iran.

Policy or not, a nuclear exchange between Iran & Israel will probably spread nuclear fallout from Gaza to China, killing & sickening millions & rendering vast areas uninhabitable for years. Persian Gulf oil production will just be a memory.
