Wouldn't that be suicide for Iran, since they'd have to know if they nuked Israel that we'd nuke them?
All that glass and nothing left to park...tsk tsk.
"I still say that Iran has the bomb. They are and have been baiting Israel to attack. Iran will then nuke Israel. Iran doesn't care if Israel nukes it back. This is the whole idea."
I do seem to remember something about His promising to do so. In any event, it is said that God helps those who help themselves. The Israelis finally came to that conclusion after WW-II.
By all appearances the average Palestinian Arab is not familiar with the substance.
How so? Elaborate.
Exactly.
I just came across an interesting article. I thought it was from our own media, but then realized it's not quite that biased. It's from The Palestinian Chronicle. (I'm too lazy to use html right now.)
C-130s they have. Flares, most likely. But what they seem to need are a few dozen daisy cutters, which can be dropped from C-130s.
We spend our money on important things, like bridges to nowhere, free medical care for those unwilling to work, and illegal aliens, welfare queens, and so forth. Defending the country stopped being important about the time George H.W. Bush became President. Although the major momentum occurred during the Impeached One's time.
More bad news if this claim turns out to be genuine. Israel's policy of boots-on-the-necks-of-Palestine has been a failure for decades. Their solution is more of the same.
This one's not quite as objective as The Palestinian Chronicle. It's South Coast Today, in Massachusetts.
I'm sure that am Israeli war won't have any impact in Iraq or Afghanistan.....hum hum.....
Or just soap&water?
Hair conditioner does not count.
I believe Tehran said something to the effect that the loss of life around Israel would be lives in sacrafice to Allah?
So, could the Palis' attempting the "Greatest Suicide Bomber Martyrs Operation" the world has ever witnessed? Coaxing Israel into full scale military operations which would then trigger Tehran or Syria to act?
I was listening to the news last night and thank goodness one of the pundits listed everything that Israel has been 'putting up with' since pulling out of Gaza. At least a hundred rockets launched at them DAILY, that would be an Act of War in every other nation on earth. But Irael has held restraint...the tunnel, the attack, and the abductions...the election of Hamas.
Palistinians aren't looking to make peace at all. Sure they are a thorn in the lions foot, but now that they've claimed to have an infection(WMD) the lions life is in danger.
This is all very, very bad. May God grant wisdom and vision to His world leaders at this trying time.
Palis brought this upon themselves! When will the world 'see' that all the efforts towards Peace have been thwarted by the Palis! I am so aggraveted by some of the stuff I've been reading about Big, Bad Israel!
Who are the ones that won't sit down to talk Peace! And if the won't negotiate Peace and move forward I guess that pretty much nullifies all the previous negotiations right Hamas? Since it is Hamas that won't honor the pacts!
The world may have played along with Arafat, but we're not playing along now. We've seen the lies, distortions, and willful attacks. The palistinian people freely elected this leadership remember that in the end.
"palis brought this upon themselves"
Recently, a poster wondered if this could be a "stupid" pali gene. One has to wonder. They were hoodwinked into leaving their homes by their arab "brothers" and told the zionist infidels would be slaughtered. When that didn't happen, they became refugees and good pawns by their arab "brothers". Now they are being made "sacrafices by their arab "brothers". Really, how stupid can one group be?
You may well be right. I have read what I believe are reliable reports the Iranians have 2-3 old Russian nukes, which may or may not be operational. It's quite possible they've had either official or clandestine Russian maintenance performed on them such that the Iranians are reasonably confident they'll work. I don't think they have their own nukes yet, but anything is possible.
Aside from the unfortunate effect on Israel - which I do not dismiss - it would result in solving the Iran problem once for all when whatever was left of the Israelis and the Americans anihilate Iran and impose the modern equivalent of a Carthegenian peace. It would also be a particularly trenchant reminder to the rest of the Islamics time was up - heck, I'd nuke Mecca and Medina for good measure if the Iranians lobbed a nuke at the Israelis.
"Arafat's blood. Very toxic."
Oh my God...just hope they don't start using Ted Kennedy's blood.
