Let's pray Iran doesn't already have a nuke acquired from Pakistan or Russia and are using all this as a pretext to deploy it.

I have been thinking the same thing.

Been thinking the same plus even after all Iranian nuclear facilities are obliterated they go buy a nuke and use it on Tel Aviv and a US city

VDH is always a good read.

"The one thing VDH does not mention is that the nuts are tribal, going back a 1000 years." llevrok

"So for now, let us pray that the brave pilots and ground commanders of the IDF can teach these primordial tribesmen a lesson that they will not soon forget — and thus do civilization’s dirty work on the other side of the proverbial Rhine." VDH

Careful reading is your friend...

Why do not Iran and Syria — or for that matter other Arab states — now attack Israel to join the terrorists that they have armed?

Perhaps because the Great Satan, having displayed his willilngness to stand and die to defend Iraq, would have no qualms about doing the same for Israel, and is now free to do a little sightseeing?

Instead, a disgusted world secretly wants these terrorists to get what they deserve. And who knows: This time they just might.

It's hard to believe that Israel would go to all this trouble to take out Hezbollah in Lebanon without addressing the immediate source of the problem: Syria and Iran. Probably only wishful thinking on my part, but I can't help speculating that Lebanon is a prelude to a concerted joint attack by American and Israeli forces on those two pariah states. If that happens, I'm gonna be deliriously happy.

I believe Bolton is capable of parsing the words of the worlds body ad nausem.

I think I really like that man! :)

They'd sneak it in by land with no one claiming responsibility for the results. They would simply say it was the will of Allah...

If a nuke is used Iran will be targeted regardless of whether or not they claim responsibility. This can be assured and Iran knows this.

If Hezbollah bought a nuke from some rogue entity, they did so with Iranian money.
