Strike Iran? How?
Powerline Blog ^ | 7/15/06 | Steven den Beste

Horowitz suggests that Israel's best option is to strike Iran now. I agree. With Iran well on its way to becoming a nuclear power, Israel will never be stronger in relation to Iran than it is today.

The U.S. has been fighting against Iran IN Iraq for months now. Iranian military is probably set up in Syria. Don't forget too that NATO is in Afghanistan. I think the U.S. military, NATO and Israel have already drawn up mutual plans of attack on Iran.

There is really only one way that we could viably attack Iran: with the a-bomb.

While not a military strategist, it seems to me that a BUFF full of napalm could do a significant amount of damage. I'm wondering whether napalm can turn desert sand into glass anyway. Might be a good experiment.

But if you really wanted to hurt Iran you wouldn't do either. You'd start your invasion at the oil terminals.

Shalom.

Americans have a short memory, we bombed Yugoslavia into oblivion under Clinton, just because they tried to defend themselves against islamic vermin (Albanians). Now we are paying the price of appeasing islamic terrorist over last 20 years or so.
It's time to bomb the living s@#$%^ of Iran and North Korea, that would send a message to the rest of the world.

We should take out that little Iranian president pipsqueak with a laser guided missile (or better yet, a sniper) and let the Iran underlings fight each other for dominance.

After all, how much worst could it get, considering Iran is now in defacto war with Israel.

With Iran fighting each other for power, maybe they will stop putting efforts into going after Israel and the US.

"Do you mean the same Shah who opened the door to the mullahs by repressing his people to the point of revolution?"

Do you mean the radical Islamic Mullahs who are worse that the Shaw ever was and repress all people. And who provide the Iranian people with much less freedom that they had under the Shaw. I do not remember the Shaw repressing anyone except for the Idiot Mullahs and the radical Islamic scum.

Actually, the brilliance of taking out Saddam Hussein is now becoming clear.

Just think if Israel and the US had that friggin' madman to fight before engaging Iran.

Not to mention a couple of boomer subs in case this escalates into something very bad. Seldom seen, seldom talked about, but always ready.

"I did? Gee, I don't remember ever saying that. Would you be kind enough to point me to where I did?"

I was referring to the third person.

However, implicit in your last response was a recognition that the revolution of the "agha amad" in 1979 was not good for Iran. You obviously believe that the "hated" Shah's progressive rule was more benign than the theocratic hell imposed on Iran in 1979, right?

It wasn't a revolt against oppression although the Savak was hated. It was an Islamic takeover of the government. You could blame the failure to stop it on the US advisors at the time as much as the Shah, but the truth is nobody really understood how to handle it then and probably still don't.

You have just encountered one of "the discerning ones", they claim the capability of reading your mind over the internet, be careful, there are more of them lurking nearby. When you meet one in the flesh his battle cry is, "well, you may not have actually said it but that is what you meant".

I would hardly characterize a large segment of "his people" (your term) as humans, in the true civilized sense of the word.

In fact, the Shah did a pretty good job of keeping the crazy Islamo-nazi mullahs under control.

If the Shah would have been allowed to remain in Iran, the world would have far, far fewer problems today.

Pres. Carter was a blooming idiot when it came to foreign affairs (and just about everything else).

Ahmadinejad will get his arse blown off. Of course, he'll try to hide out in a spider hole like Saddam did, but he'll be flushed out like a jihad turd down an Iranian latrine (facing Mecca). LOL

Total of 1,500 miles round trip would probably get them inside and back.
Anyone know if a fighter jet can travel this far without refueling?

There's a hundred thousands US soldiers in between them that would be happy to provide some re-fuelling.

We could and I believe we should, but the question I believe was about Israel.
